Today i went to school, my mum was going to try and get me the Wii...
So wen she went in GAME they said they havent got anystock but r getting some today... So my mum asked if she could reserve one. They said no, so my mum didnt moved and one of the staff told her to sit down and eat or someit and she'll come and get her, 20mins l8r and she didnt come, so my mum went back in and they said no but some coming soon, so my mum was looking at the GAME's and then the stock bell went! And the woman at GAME got my mum!

IM SO HAPPY I GOT A WII!

congrats! although - i did think that game would reserve them if you phoned up - so why not if your instore/town etc. waiting? weird.

That depends on the Game store, they all have different policies.

I spoke to one 'local' store and they point blank refused to reserve any and stated it was first come first served. This was however after they told me a women had waitied outside their store from 5am yesterday morning and no Wii's turned up in their delivery yesterday. (She was more sensible and queued from 8am this morning until one arrived in their delivery today.)

Congratulations! I also got mine today by absolute miracle. I phoned GAME in Sunderland about 10:30, which is a bit late to be ringing but they still had three left, I managed to get there in time. Somehow, the store was really busy but no one there was there for a wii!

Have found my local GAME store up here in Scotland to give out mixed answers when it came to asking about their next delivery of the glorious Wii. One instance I phoned through to be told that there was none due in then thought I'd chance it and phone the next day. Spoke to the store manager and he said I had just missed out on a delivery of 6!! Wasn't to happy but like the rest of us that are Wii'less the search continued.

However, a new hope is nearing :D

Phoned my local GAME store (yet again) to find out any news and spoke to the store manager today. Was told that a delivery was coming in tomorrow and that I could reserve one to be picked up later in the day.....result!!! Reading a lot of the posts on the forum I think your luck is all down to who you speak with and how the are at helping you out?!

I think the mad scrabble is still with us but not as bad as what we've been experiencing the past few weeks. Fingers crossed for tomorrow and good luck to everyone else in their search....

May the Wii Force be with us......always! :wink:
