How About A Wii

Due to be released in the UK and Europe on 6th June 2008 this game has had a lot of hype.

It has been developed across multiple formats : Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, PS2, PS3, PSP, XBOX 360 and the PC.

Of course though, we’re really only interested in the Wii version.

It has been developed by the team behind the frankly awesome LEGO Star Wars series.

So, who wouldn’t want be to Indy re-living the adventures from the first 3 movies:

• Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
• Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
• Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

All with a quirky Lego spin / tongue-in-cheek action and adventure!!

It is available for pre-order from my usual highly recommended UK internet retailers: Amazon.co.uk, Game.co.uk and Gamestation.co.uk.  Click on the links from your preferred stockist to preorder your copy now.

As expected Wii Fit has sold out all of the retailers in the UK…..

Nintendo always seem to have problems with stock of Wii hardware. Especially here in the UK!

So, I’ve been thinking a bit out of the box and tested out a few “old tricks” that I’ve used before.

What I’m talking about is ordering a Wi Fit from stockists in Europe. The obvious retailer is Amazon.de, the German version of Amazon. I previously blogged about ordering the Wii Console from Amazon.de which helped a multitude of people to get a Wii for Christmas last year. Until Amazon.de stopped shipping the Wii’s to the UK.

I’ve checked, by ordering one myself, and Amazon.de is allowing stock of Wii Fit to be delivered to the UK. They don’t have any stock available for immediate delivery, but it says that it is due for delivery on 3rd May 2008. I don’t know about you, but I’d rather wait a week, than pay stupid prices from Ebay (Just looked and there is a BuyIt Now on for £140!!!).

I paid €94.88 including delivery and tax, which works out at approx £75.

So to do this click here to go straight to the order page, or click on the amazon image at the top of the page.

Open up the google translator in another window by clicking here, this helps to copy and paste any german.

Your Amazon.co.uk user name and password will work, so Amazon.de will recognise your billing and delivery address. If you don’t have one, then I would suggest doing this on the Amazon.co.uk site to avoid having to translate everything from German.

Now follow these steps which will hopefully help you (I’ve used the same pictures that I used for the Wii Console guide, so it may look slightly different)…

1. Go to the order page that you’ve already opened or click here to go straight there. You first need to put a Wii Fit into your basket, so click the “In den Einkaufswagen” yellow box as shown below in the screen shot.

2. This takes you straight to your basket so you now need to checkout so click the next yellow box “Zur Kasse gehen”.

3. Now you need to enter your email address and your Amazon.co.uk password. Then press the next yellow button on the page. As shown in the picture below.

4. Now you need to fill in your delivery address, or choose one that you already have saved in Amazon.co.uk account. Once you’ve filled it in press the yellow button again.

5. Now for the payment. To do this enter you credit card details in the boxes as shown below. I think they only accept Visa or Mastercard.

6. Last stage now, which is just to review the details that you filled in. If you are happy with it then click the next yellow button which says “Bestelleng Abschicken”. And that’s it!!

And that’s it people, good luck and well done for not having to pay ridiculous prices from Ebay.co.uk.

If Amazon.de sell out I’ll have a look at some other retailers in Europe that I’ve previously recommended!!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is due for release in the UK on 19th September 2008.

The game is set during the era between “Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith” and “Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope”.

It is a first person shooter, when you take the role of Darth Vader’s secret apprentice and hunt Jedi!

The game has had input from the Star Wars head honcho himself: George Lucas.  So promises to be good.

Released across all platforms: Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, XBOX 360, PS3 and PSP on the same day this game should be one of the “must haves” for your game console.

Pre order your copy now to avoid any future disappointment.  Click on the links to go straight to the usual recommended UK Stockists: Amazon.co.uk, Game.co.uk and Gamestation.co.uk
