Yeah, pretty much.
Are these guys kosher?

seems a bit odd, never heard of them, an suddenly when all major retailers get in stock, poof.. they suddenly have in stock? worth a shot i guess, but who knows

Seems a bit odd their stock is lasting longer than the major sites too.

Also, they have other Wii packages, but the only one they have in stock is the most expensive one.
Hmm.

I have ordered alot of games from simply games before. Real fast delivery and no problems atall. Shouldnt be any problems if you order from there (though its a little dearer)

Ok, I'm gonna take the plunge and order from them.
I'll let you know how it goes!

i had the same order status so i emailed them and was told. We have stock! It’s an annoying quirk in the system which only happens on really high-demand items, like the Wii console and your order will be fulfilled

just had an email from simply games hopefully this will quash any doubts you have.
1. We have been in existence since 1998!
2. We are internet only
3. We have a substantial distribution base in the Midlands shipping to UK
and Europe
4. We have in excess of 150,000 current members
5. We had Wii stock because we are an important customer of Nintendo and
they provided us with a limited quantity as a 'favour' this week
6. They have nearly all sold BUT we should have more soon.
They have convinced me

I e-mailed them, but not got a reply so far, so I'll wait and see.
I was concerned because the link at the top of this thread is dead now.

the rest of my email stated that the link had been removed.
i have ordered from them before and found them to be reliable

I ordered one of these on Saturday from simplygames.com and according to the order status on their site, it’s been shipped :)
That’s now two Wii's I've been able to get hold of in January (the other was from techsplosion.co.uk at the start of the month and that came through fine), all from the smaller / less known online sites - Sometimes you just need to give these smaller guys a chance.
