I am and have been desperate for a wii for ages (yes insert your tried and tested joke about incontinence here.) The 64 didnt beat me neither did the game cube, but the Wii. totally floored. I have thanks to this site had a couple of opportunities to but a Wii. However I just cannot let myself be ripped off by these companies, lets make it a big fat bundle and stick a few quid on. i have £180 to spens even £220 for a one game bundle but £335? thy are totally taking the ****. I can afford it but why should i pay ofr games and accesories i dont want. Sorry for the rant just getting well annoyed. Hope its worth the wait. You lucky buggers.

number one. don't worry there won;t be jokes about it here :D number 2. it will be worth the wait for sure and finally about the bundles it does seem to be big ones at the moment but quite often there are some with just one game just keep checking the site and hope you get one soon :)
Amazon.de (German version of Amazon) usually has plenty in stock - standard price as well - cheaper even (i think)
Have a look :)

Gingerninja, I was in exactly the same position as you. I was willing to try anything to get a Wii at a good price. Finally, I had that success. How? Amazon.de. I managed to get my Wii including postage for £169 (The standard £179.99 one). Amazon.de is just like ordering off Amazon UK, so it's pretty straight forward. Obviously, it's all in German so you're gonna need a translator, the Google one did it for me. If you ordered it Sunday or Monday it should come sometime during this week. I ordered mine on thursday and I expect it to come Monday.
The languages aren't an issue, except the Wii:Sports instruction manual. That's it. The Wii defaults to English, as does Wii:Sports. It's all PAL + Region 2, so there's no problems there.
The only thing you need is a Euro to UK adaptor, which I ordered one this evening from Maplin.co.uk for £3.
I strongly recommend Amazon.de.

Cheers for the encouragement, I am thinking Amazon.de is gonna be the only option. Just such a pain. Nintendo have been after the sucess so badly, now they are a victim of it, maybe we are the victims, lol. Have to say one of the things i am shocked about is my none playing friends are keen for me to get one so they can play!!! Wii rule.

You'll get sorted, don't sweat it.
I felt the same as you, and had done for weeks - then, by chance on Wednesday I got an alert from this website: *Edited by Admin* - there was stock in Gamestation so I ordered fast!
The evening after, I received another alert - this time Amazon had them in stock. I ordered from Amazon, as I was sure they would be faster delivery, and then I could cancel my original order.
Unbelievably, the Wii from Gamestation has arrived today - and the Amazon Wii has been dispatched and is being delivered tomorrow :shock: . From no Wiis to 2 Wiis in the space of 2 days.
There's no doubt stocks are on the rise, you'll get your mitts on one soon enough.
Oh...and it is sooo worth the wait!! 8)

So i have followed your shining examples of europeanism. I ordered from Amazon.de. So lets see if the Germans can sort us out quicker than the uk.
Cheers for the help guys

No problem 8) I'm so hoping my Wii comes tomorrow, and come in from school to find a big white box waiting for me. :oops: Then I can stop feeling like how Cartman feels \/\/\/
