I wasn't one of the lucky ones to be allocated, but then I pre-ordered in November so more fool me. As for why operate on a first come first served basis? Personally, if I'd been the very first person to pre-order a console I would expect to be the very first person to receive one. Very nonsensical comment you made there! As for customer service from PC World, I'm not their biggest fan by a mile, but to be fair to them they phoned me before Christmas (about a week before) and told me they were very sorry that they hadn't been able to fulfil my pre-order as yet and that they were hoping for another shipment to be delivered (from Nintendo) by mid January. Personally, I found it very refreshing and reassuring that they actually bothered to phone customers who had a pre-order to inform them of the situation. If we're looking for people to blame, I'd suggest starting with Nintendo for either withholding stock of consoles or not producing enough in the first place!

I pre-ordered a Wii from PC World back at the start of November, as it got closer and closer to the release date I kept checking my order details and it was sat on "Awaiting release date - 08/12/06". So I check again on the 8th - "Awaiting release date - 31/01/07". Ouch! Helpfully they' ve sent out the nunchuck and copy of Zelda I ordered, fat lot of use either of them are without the system. I've ordered one from Germany, should hopefully be here in the next day or two. *crosses fingers* You’re doing better than me!
