Update 18/11/2007

Amazon.de are now refusing orders from the UK, please see my latest post by either clicking here or going to the homepage.  Here I am posting links to other retailers in Europe that have Wii’s.

Some Ebay sellers seem to be selling at reasonable prices now.  Click here to check them out. 

In one of my previous posts a chap has left a comment that you can order a Wii immediately from Amazon.de.

I’ve checked this out; it is possible and not difficult at all!!!

To do this click on the Amazon.de Nintendo Wii link on the right sidebar of this blog (click the “Nintendo Wii Konsole Sports Bun…” highlighted in blue specifically) or click here.  This will open a new window on the correct page and the order screen.  Update, due to unforeseen circumstances I can’t link you direct to the site, you’ll have to navigate there on your own first.

If you don’t speak german very well (like me!!), open up google translator in another window, to do that click here.

Now procede with the order: click “In Den Einkaufswagen” which will put a Wii console in your basket then click “Zur Kassen Gehen” which are both yellow buttons on the right hand side, any german language you don’t understand simply cut and paste into the google translate page.

You can even log in with your Amazon.co.uk email address and password so all your details will already be there.

Once the Wii arrives, it has english instructions, it is a PAL machine (like the UK), and just set the Wii console into the English language!!

All you will need to buy is a plug adaptor to convert the 2-pin german plug to the UK’s 3-pin plug, these can be bought cheaply at B&Q, Homebase or any other hardware store!!

This method is also cheaper than buying in the UK as it will set you back 249.95 Euros, which is approx £168…  Bonzer!!

I’ve had a request from a few people who would like to thank me for helping them get a Wii. If you’ve used this site to get a Wii please write a comment to share your success story with us all.

Happy Wii’ing everybody!!!

I know that this site is about the Wii…  But I personally appreciate all good computer games.

So to go along with my XBOX 360, my Wii and the other consoles I’ve had throughout the years I’ve pre-ordered a PS3 today!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yay!!!

The official launch date in the UK is 23 March 2007…

So I was very happy when I received an email from Game.co.uk to say that they are taking pre-orders…

Please see my other posts about Game..  The bottom line is that they are the largest Computer Games retailer in the UK and were allocated the most amount of Wii’s on launch day…  They are sure to get the most on launch day for the PS3 aswell!

So if you are interested, and want to pre-order a PS3 the place I would recommend would be Game.

Click here to go straight to the page!!

The prices aren’t cheap…  But the buzz from the rest of the world is that it is worth it!

The bundles available from Game are:

1. Sony PlayStation 3 with Resistance: Fall of Man, Call of Duty 3 and Motorstorm = £554.96
2. Sony PlayStation 3 with Resistance: Fall of Man, Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3 = £564.96

For the record I’ve gone for package 2!!!

If spending over 500 pounds is too much then you can pre-order the PS3 from Amazon.co.uk for £424.99, this is for the console only…  To go to the correct page click here

I promise that the next blogs I post about will be about the Wii!!!!!!!!!

Amazon.co.uk have arguably the greatest selections of games, accessories and other related Wii products for sale on the net.  And are usually are the cheapest aswell!!

So I’ve been having a play around, and have created my own Store through amazon that you can order the games.  When you click on the link it will take you directly through to my Amazon.co.uk Store which has my recommendations.

To go there, click here

For the record I now personally have for my Wii:

• Zelda - awesome, best launch game ever!!!  Everyone must own this game if you have a Wii!!!
• Need for Speed Carbon  -not played it a lot, but wasn’t very impressed, but the steering wheel attachment is a nice touch
• Wii Play - great fun, fantastic in multiplayer, and cow racing is just the most hilarious game ever
• Rayman Raving Rabbids - like Wii play, its great fun, I’ve unlocked all the multiplayer games now so after a few beers with my mates it is great fun!! 
• 4 controllers, and 4 nunchuks!!!  4 player tennis!!!  , and 4 player Rayman!!! 

I’m intending on getting Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Brothers next!!!  Can’t wait til I can play Super Smash with 4 players!!!

Please leave comments to help me improve my Amazon Store and to tell me what you think the best Wii games out are!!
