Wii letter from Game UK

[strumstrum]

yeah just got mine, bit of a waste but a nice gesture, I had to go in anyway to pre order Wii Play.

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.

Thanks for the update Atlantis. I went to GAME on my lunchbreak at 1pm and they said they are still waiting for their delivery, so it was a wasted journey for me. No chance after 5.30pm due to xmas rush kicking off big time where I live.

Doesn't sound that great but if I can make some extra reward points by preordering games- then I may just do that.

i still havent had any correspondence from
GAME about my online preorder...has anyone???

however on the site this little piece of information brings a little concern, especially as some people have had letters confirming a Wii for launch and therefore not complying with the statement

"Nintendo has not yet confirmed launch allocations, and due to expected high demand we are currently unable to guarantee delivery for launch day."

if GAME online doesnt know their numbers why do other sites [PLAY.com] and the GAME stores know ???

I collected my pack from store today- the blimmin idiot in GAME asked if I had proof my my pre-order, but I couldn't find my receipt (here at home) so he was like, well I can't give it to you, even tho before they told me they can just look me up on the computer. Anyway luckily I found my Wii card thing I got in the post and showed him that. Oh thats fine now I can give you your pack.

So by now i'm a little pissed off at the over enthusiastic geekazoid.

Then he gives me this little envelope. So I get outside the shop and open it- its just a little 10page catalogue! Whats so f**kin secret about that? I felt like goin back in and ramming it up his ass- I mean WHY did i have to go into then store for this? Why did they even have this when I already have a GAME catalogue that lists everythig? why not just post it to me? ahhh nevermind

Anyway

my concern is it recommends to pre-order games thats fair enough, but what about bundle deals? Everywhere else has bundles so why not GAME? I really want a two game bundle so will we see any from GAME??

I have spoken to the manager of my local GAME several times regarding the bundle issue, he assures me that there will be various bundle deals available but in all likelyhood GAME won't find these out until the week before launch or even the week of launch! But those with successful preorders are expected to get a call from GAME a bit before launch to confirm such things as bundles and store opening times.

hope that helps... 22 days to go.

Thanks for the update atlants. The thing I am worrying about is that Zelda is like the most anticipated game ever- so I need to reserve it. If I reserve it on its own (as full price) can I still change it for a zelda bundle deal if / when it comes?
