where can i get a nintendo wii?

Answer 1

I had ordered one from Studio at the beginning of January but they informed me last week that they wouldn't be getting any more until April. All the websites i checked said out of stock so what i done was phone round all my local stores, Argos, Woolies, PC World, Game etc. Last week my local Game said they were getting in a small delivery of them on Sunday morning. So my hubby went out and queued yesterday morning, he went a couple of hours before the shop opened at 11am, was first there and got one.
They only had 4 consoles delivered so we were lucky to get one.
So my advice would be to phone all your local stores, they will be able to tell you if they are expecting a delivery of them and when. If you find out they do, just make sure you are there in plenty of time before hand so you get one.
Good luck!!!

Answer 2

Where I live in Preston, i've seen them in Woolworths, that was last tuesday. So if you try woolworths you might be lucky. I would personally wait till March when the PS3 is released. The reason for that is everybody will be trying to buy a PS3 which like the wii will be impossible to get hold of. And interest of the wii will drop and there should be more wii's available, and buy then they should have dropped the price a bit.

Answer 3

Hiya,

there is little chance in my opinion to get a Wii soon in any retail store. As someone else mentioned somewhere all pre-orders will be fulfilled first. If any shop happens to get new stock imagine all the campers who'll sleep in front of the stores or the chaos and then within minutes all will be gone.

Another option - a very secure and reliable one which least know of actually - is to purchase a Nintendo Wii thru any trusted 3rd party seller directly at Amazon. They have good feedback, deliver on time, mostly are merchants themselves simply and Amazon operates as the platform, in fact the purchase is processed directly via Amazon as you would usually buy from them.

You might check it out at

and then click on "See all buying options" at the right.

This is actually currently the best choice to get your hands on a Wii at all - without any hassles.

You might also try out Ebay Express in the UK. Only selected and trusted merchants are accepted there:

If they are also sold out there you might try the normal ebay listings:

Good luck!

Answer 4

They are sparsely in stock across the country at the moment and would take quite a bit of digging to find.

If you really Really REALLY want one, Computer Exchange are selling them with a large markup price.
