How Long Will They Be Out Of Stock?

[s1hastie]

Wasn't really too bothered about getting a wii but played on one yesterday and want one. Just wondering how long people think they will be sold out for? I don't want to pay an inflated price on ebay as i'm not in that much of a rush to get one.

Do we reckon stores will have them in stock by newyear? Or will I be better off getting one when Im in the Czech Republic/Germany for the first week of Jan. I understand the european ones will work here in the uk.

You will probably be able to get one within the next couple of weeks if you keep your eyes open.

European ones are the same console with a different plug, when they boot up the settings start in English, and you can choose your country from all the PAL regions, inc Australia and New Zealand.
You'll get one £10 cheaper in Germany with a 2 year warranty, but will probably have to send it back to the shop during the 2nd year, Nintendo should honour the 1st year in the UK as per a UK console.

Personally I think once people have given up and can't buy one for Christmas these will appear I believe, that's what happened with the 360 last year you couldn't buy one before Christmas but after they started turning up at Argos. Patience is a great virtue (in saying that I'll be fuming if my pre order from Argos don't turn up before Christmas!!)

I've lost a lot of my enthusiasm for the 360 since getting my Wii, and I only played it for 3 days as it broke. I think the Wii is my favourite of the two consoles for the moment even if a 3 day go is a bit of short time span to get my full opinion from.
