    Not sure if this is the place to ask - well it is a computer section

    Does anyone know where i can get a nintendo wii, they seem to be sold out everywhere. Not interested in ebay or any other over priced stores, think it costs 270Euro, so anything around that let me know

    Thanks

    Game on Dawson Street in Dublin had 4/5 second hand ones yesterday that have been traded in against the PS3/Xbox Elite for €249, having got a Wii myself I wouldn't have a problem getting a second hand one as they are very small and should be in perfect nick. You'd be as well to ring in advance though to make sure they still have them and if you want one game this christmas make sure you get Super Mario Galaxy.

    If you dont want the second hand one I'd say you'll have to wait until after Christmas. Its actully harder to get a second controller for the Wii these days than the console itself, bloody gold dust they are.

    It's madness how popular this console has become. Like last year, I expect a fair amount of stores to get Wii's in before xmas, but they'll be snapped within the hour I imagine. Keep your ear to the ground!

    How far down the country Pam? Thought never entered my head really until last night when a mate told me he got his and they can't be got now - since he said that now I really want one :D

    The missus was playing on one in her brothers house last week and thought it was the business so just thinking it would be a good Christmas pressie, possibly too late now though :rolleyes:

    Ill will make my wee ones aware by the age of 4, of how society has been manipulated by multinational companies, how people are now slaves of their own desires and how consumerism is destroying. society so there will be none of the PS3 stuff when they are older :D
