Check out my new thread related to this folks!

u guys know where i can preorder for the U.S im pretty much out of luck finding sites

[I heart Nintendo]

Many GAME stores have been taking pre-orders since September and some are still allowing pre-orders even now! If you live near a GAME stores pop in and pre-order bitches!! *lol*

I pre-ordered mine @ HMV though.

If I'd known about the double point thing before I put money down with HMV, I probably woulda pre-ordered with GAME.

I only use GAME for console launches nothing else. I have 2 GAME's, HMV VIRGIN, Gamestation, E-Play to name but a few stores in walking distance. Hmmm i'm not sure if HMV with open midnight for Launch tho (man in GAME said they are opening midnight)
But at least HMV won't have huge cues or anything I guess..

PC world of all places have the best deals at the moment

Notes to Pibster, you can pre-order from GAME on their website at www.game.co.uk

with no deposit, also they are doing worldwide delivery for small fee. However you will want an American one so, unless you ain't planning on using Wii Connect and VC, its probably not a good idea to get a UK one

I placed my order the day after it became available. Can anyone shed any light on this. Are Play just talking tosh??

Sounds to me like one of them "no deposit" pre-orders am I right? No deposit ain't guna garantee you nada

I was told that Game have secured 60% of the UK stock..

[Dee-Lite]

Well they are the biggest retailer in whole of Europe so it figures. Most people just use them for launch and nothing else as they are a reliable company that always delivers the goods. And that's what people like myself want at a console launch

Just collected my Wii preorder pack.... really wasn't worth the walk. Just a little catalogue with a few pictures of games and information wii all already know and a checklist at the back if you wish to tick the games you want rather than just telling the GAME sales assistent.

Nevermind, I did however find out that it is quite likely there will be either a midnight launch or "very early, like 6 in the morning store opening" for the Wii. and GAME will be phoning customers with latest info just before launch to confirm this kind of thing.
