Just rang up one in Cardiff and they just added me to a list, I shall have to wait and see I guess. In the meantime i'll keep hunting about.

Thanks for the tip guys, hope they get some in.

That is weird, just called the one here in Croydon and they told me they dont have a waiting/pre-order list so they would not write my name down. The lady did tell me they had a batch in today (all went of course) at around 12:00pm and they didn't know they were coming in. She said she does not think they will get any more this week to try next week. :(

Got my Dad to put his name down as well in Torquay, he is about number 50 or so on the list there... lol might be some time.

Guess if there is no list you should just try calling them every day, along with argos and game to check on stock.

Yeah but you gained a day of play time ;)

I would definitively do it, the problem is work. Have to be in the office from 9:00am to 5:00pm this week and next week I spend 2 days here in croydon and 3 in Oldham. in Oldham my schedule will be even worse.

Yeah I am not really stressing about it. Now if the black ones were out already, then that would be different. Lets see what happens first, the impulse to buy goes away and I wait for the black one, or a white one is available before the impulse to buy goes away :D

There was about 5 in stock at Woolworth Northallerton (in North Yorkshire) 15 mins ago if anyone can get there.

The guy said he doesn't expect to sell out. I'm picking mine up just about now, just popped home to get the cash and let you guys know.

Hope anyone near enough manages to get one :D

I really can't wait.

Do you think I could manage to drive there from Hampshire before the store closes? Do you know when it closes?

Errm, sorry my knowledge of places is rubbish.

The phone number is 01609 760601. I think it will close at 5:30 but you could ring and check.

He said he doesn't think they will sell out. So ringing first thing tommorrow morning might let you reserve one.

Good luck mate.

He's already holding me one, I'm not taking any chances :)

I dunno, I guess they've had them in all day and not sold any? They were just on the shelf looking all white and fun.

I'm leaving now by the way. Don't think I can help you guys anymore. Good luck though.

im not sure about that, unless it's a little store?

as where mine was this morning was a big W store

people must have thought they were empty display cases and thought it too good to be true that they are in stock. lets be honest, if you walked past game and saw loads of wiiboxes on display, would you honestly think they actually had stock?
