Just been over to shopto.net who`s stock is showing as due in. I gave them a call and was told if i pre-ordered it now i would get an e-mail after 4:30 telling me to cancel, re-order and checkout myself. The console will be shipped by courier tomorrow and be with me on Friday

Don`t everyone jump in at once though, i want mine garaunteed

HTH

Bryan

I thought stocks were all up to reasonable levels now?!
Hell, someone can buy my Wii if they really want to - I haven`t touched it for a few months. : :/

Companies that have p**sed me off so much that I will never use them again and I hope you dont either....
Jacks Fish & Chips of Cambridge ridiculously overpriced and overpackaged chips. £1.20 for a stupidly small portion of chips - they need to go up north for a good lesson in fish and chips
Alloy Bodies of Manchester - The Grand Daddy & Benchmark for shockingly poor customer service.
Capital Bank Leasing who are part of [B]BOS
& are f**ing useless & struggle to action the smallest request but are fantastically efficient at taking money out of my account
[B]Abbey National
Absolutely diabolical service - how hard is it to change £60 of coins into notes????
....more coming soon no doubt.....

Yep they are flying out the doors again, as xmas is closing. The problem is retailers are just getting deliveries every other week in small quants, as you have done pre-ordering seems to be the best option, put your name down somewhere you have one within a week.

Many people are buying now for Christmas.
There will be another shortage - esp once Mario Galaxy is out.

Rumours are Ninty aren`t guaranteeing any more stock before christmas either.

If that`s the case, I`d say "Well done Nintendo! Just when you snatched the market back from Sony you made *another* marketing balls up and handed it straight back to them"

Whereas the reality is this has taken everybody, including Nintendo, by surprise. It`s selling staggering amounts - and making money. The plants are working flat out making the things and they simply can`t make any more than they are doing. New plants come on line next year I believe.
I read a couple of days back that upto now the XBOX gaming division has so far cost M$ $4Bn... :o
