Just out of intrest, when did you pre-order you Wii from HMV?

Ridley · 12-09-2006, 11:12 AM

They couldn't get me a wii for lauch as I was 19 on the list

(they got 10 in),

Is anyone 100% sure that a second shipment is due for xmas?

Thanks!

Hey Ridley, I think I posted this elsewhere but... I was number 30 at Gamestation in Birmingham and they only had 21 delivered. They phoned me the other day and said that I should be getting mine on the next delivery which is due wednesday/thursday. The original delivery even though it did'nt go on sale until friday was instore on the tuesday so fingers crossed mate

Ridley · 12-09-2006, 11:46 AM

My fingers are crossed.

For those who missed out, Costco and Walmart will have some today. Walmart at 11am first come first serve.

So long story short - great experience, met many interesting people - shared my Christian Faith with some people ... and got a wii.

Unfortunately, they didn't get any Nunchucks. Good luck everyone, just over 2 weeks till Christmas.

DANGIT! i waited outside my BB and they didnt have sh*t!

I thought BB only did drop shipments? If they do drop shipments then being first in line isn't going to make a difference because they won't be in from the night before, right? Or did I just misunderstand?

So the plan is on Sunday morning, waiting in line at BB (or Target, TRU, or CC), right?

NintendoGamer · 12-09-2006, 03:46 PM

I doubt best buy wuld have any this sunday, they just had 27 yesterday why would they get another quick shipment in on sunday?

DMB14 · 12-09-2006, 03:51 PM

I just went to Best Buy and it was really busy. Of course there were no Wiis, but I couldn't even find a free employee to talk to.

I'm gonna try Target and maybe Walmart tomorrow.

Went to the store at 6:30am and there were already 2 guys there. They had been to another Zellers at 5am and waited with some other people before finding out that the store had actually given out the tickets to the people waiting in line at midnight who of course left afterwards. Another guy I knew came in just after 7 and just beat 2 other people by 5min or so. They gave out 4 tickets at 7:20am, so I got the 3rd one out of 4. We all stayed in line anyway for the next 40min or so to let other people that came in know that all of the tickets had been given out. I was about ready to give up til January but apparently it is possible to get one in Canada without lining up overnight.

mandig28 · 12-09-2006, 03:58 PM

NintendoGamer- Because our BB didn't get any in yesterday and there is a BB employee on here that recommended Sunday... where do you live that your BB got them in on Friday?

NintendoGamer · 12-09-2006, 04:00 PM

mississauga, ontario

mandig28 · 12-09-2006, 04:04 PM

... Canada gets very different shipments than the US. I'm in Cali

24th of October. And I've just got in from going out, and have been informed by my mum that they rang earlier on today saying the delivery has come. And unless I'm Superman, I'm not going to get there in 15 minutes. I could playing the Wii right now, but no, HMV had to be stupid with their information and delivery stuff.

By the way, I went out to vent more anger.
