O.k. I can understand a shortage of the Wii console.. but Wii Play , for weeks I've been searching for this game.. everywhere is sold out.. !! Now don't get me wrong I have found some; but for prices like £70 +

Is anybody else looking for this game

[the_sas_man]

The reason there is a shortage of wii play is because there is a shortage of wii remotes. The game itself is easy to produce, but unless it has a wii remote with it they cant sell it.

Funnily enough my local gamestation has stackfuls of wii plays this morning. Suspect they are sold out now tho. (Southend Branch)

You only other choice is to buy the bundle offer on Game with Mario Galaxy (best game on wii)

Unfortunately though, the wii remote situation will probabaly last as long as the wii stock shortages.

Good luck.

Hi I was hunting all over for it, I eventually got one by ordering off Amazon.de.
I ordered Wii Play and a Nunchuk for about £45 delivered.

Why don't you try there

[mobiledreams12]

Check out your local Blockbuster on Saturday mornings - mine had 3 Wii Plays at 10.30am. They were still available at 2pm this afternoon.

Suppose it depends which part of the UK you're in.

I suggest you phone the second they open and ask them to put one aside for you. They had around 10 - 12 behind the counter at around 2pm today.

Cant think what time they open. Might be 11am on Sunday. You can find their number on the gamestation website.

Goodluck and let me know if you get one!

EDIT: Here is there number: 01702 617333
Phone before going in. They will put one aside for you no problems and might save a wasted journey. And pck up one of them German sausages from the market in town! Bloody nice they are!

Just got one from Blockbusters and refreshing that they've kept the price at £29.99 despite the huge demand

Yeah the market is great.. the sausage down there are the nuts.. the stall by JD sports (We call him the sausage man, with the dead rabbits) He makes the best sausages ever !!

Just brought 2 .. @ 12.00pm there where 4 left.. thanks again for the heads up the_sas_man

Cheers

[the_sas_man]

Excellent news. So pleased for you mate. Gamestation got lucky - not sure why they had so many left.

Enjoy!

[metalhead72]

[s1hastie]

Anyone know of anywhere with avialability? On or off line.

You could try Comet. They were taking orders earlier today.

[elmbeck]

amazon.fr were selling them yesterday - and you can order the Play and Wiimote for UK delivery, unlike the console.

[raterfly]

I have ordered 3 wii remotes from amazon France. 1 should come today the others I ordered for a friend a few days later.

Hello all - long time reader, first time poster.

I've just got back from HMV on Bond Street (opposite the tube entrance - not the Oxford Street branch) with Wii Play (and its extra controller). They had a full shelf at 12.30pm and are selling at £34.95.

Hope this helps someone. Now... just to find the console!

[triobot]

Wow just looked at prices at several places and people are selling for double the price !!!

they are really rare aren't they? glad i got mine wayyyy back.

Best option for you is import it from one of the european cousins !!

[weeman2]

Ebuyer have 68 overdue and are taking preorders.

They had stock yesterday.

[Gobbo]

The HMV in Kingston upon Thames had 5 on the shelf at lunchtime at £34.95

[maddogkam]

Just got back from HMV in Bond Street.
They had a shelf full but the guy there said he has just refilled it for the 3rd and last time so get there quick!!

[dej23]

Gameplay have them in stock, £35

[the_sas_man]

HMV and Gamestation had these in stock in Southend no problems at all.

There has DEFINATELY been a big shipment of these into the country. I suspect people will start being able to pick these up shortly.

Anyone buying these to sell be weary, because I think the supply is coming in.

[Dude a llama]

I ordered wii play from pcworld £39.98 with delivery, came yesterday.

[.Z.]

In stock at amazon now - £39.99.

[triobot]

think i bought mine for £32-ish at play.com

tbh its worth it just for the controller however the games last AGES... so its a good buy...

[paul1672]

my father has just informed me gamestation in norwich have them in stock £34.99.

also had plenty of the remotes.....

i already have these but thought it might help some poor soul still searching for them....

all the best

Wii Play is pretty mediocre. The only good reason for buying it is for the second remote. You won't get more than a few minutes of fun from most of the games, although Laser Hockey is quite neat.

^^ I find Cow Racing still makes me laugh and tanks & laser hockey are great multiplayer.

I like most of the Wii Play games. MUCH better in 2 player. The match-the-Mii game is great, esp when you've got a few friend's Mii's set up and they pop up in the game. The weird rotate-the-man-to-fit-the-silhouette-in-the-bubble game can be quite manic in 2 player too.

And yes, cow racing makes me laugh too :D.

It's certainly worth the extra 2-5 quid it costs over the price of a the Wiimote anyway.
