I have bought alot of things from Play in the past and will not be doing anymore business with them again. We managed to get a Wii from Game today (10 Jan 07). I will say, Game are the biggest seller of the Wii (80% of all Wii's made for UK are sold through Game!), other companys to consider buying from is Marks & Spencers & Argos.

I received confirmation of the order, but no other e-mails until 6/12 to say that Zelda and WiiPlay would not be shipped on release- no mention of the console. Certainly when I ordered they had not put the "sold out" message on the website. Having promised my son in July that he could have one, I am now in the position of camping out tonight in front of Toys R Us to get one of the 90 that go on sale tomorrow. I suggest that other Play.com customers might want to check with their local TRU store to see if they are doing the same. I too ordered from Play.com (12th Oct).

I have Zelda, but no Wii. When i phoned play up they said they had a backlog of 7000 (SEVEN THOUSAND!!!!!) orders for the Wii Console! Im hoping i might get one from the second batch but they seem to think i wont be getting mine until 2007. Also, i NEVER recieved an email from them to state i wouldnt be getting one as so many other did. They didnt even bother to send me one so im in the middle of doing a massive complaints letter if mine doesnt go out in the second batch on the 15th.

I don't know how many people are therefore getting theirs from Play if mine was ordered straight away. They've also put the price of games up to £37.99. You can still get them for £32.99 at Amazon and HMV though.
