    They had a batch delivered a couple of weeks ago, and the went on general sale not for back orders.

    I know this won't help now because they'll be gone, but the point being they may be getting some more in and it seems they don't take orders so it's a first come basis.

    Although I did notice the other day that they had changed their sign, so don't know if it's still trading as a Virgin store.

    RE: Virgin in Meadowhell

    Also a mate received this from Gamestation in an email today.
    --------------------------------
    Hi there,

    Tomorrow could be your lucky day – as we’re expecting a limited amount of Nintendo Wiis to be available online from 10.30am Tuesday 20th November!

    Stock’s extremely limited, but because you were on-the-ball and registered your interest at gamestation.co.uk, we can give you first dibs.

    The Wii's will not be initially available to Joe Public, so if you still fancy getting your hands on one, please click here http://www.gamestation.co.uk/images/category/wantawii.asp from 10.30am tomorrow (or copy/past the link into your browser). Please note that Wiis will not be freely available on our website tomorrow, you must use this link, but be quick – we'll be putting any leftover stock on general sale on Wednesday 21st November.

    Tie a knot in your hanky for tomorrow then get clicking and get playing!

    Thank you.

    Good luck

    Are these things rare in the UK then?

    How much could I get for 1, brand new sealed in the box?

    I might start having to import them. they are 2 a penny in the Swedish shops

    Not rare, just that demand exceeds supply.

    Looking at about £180 for one.

    Get some bought, seriously. All parents I know are rerady to kill for one. Just wish I could capitalise on their commercial driven misery.

    you flog then in your shop for me?

    1 eye check + 1 wii £300

    Talking money are opticians like Dentists when it comes to raking in the cash? the missus went to the dentist last week, he's 30 works a 3 day week house and car paid off in south west london

    How long to qualify?

    Not many.

    The optical sector isn't the licence to print cash it once was. Dentists have stronger negotiators with the DoH than us and hence we get **** on for doing NHS work. &pound;18 they pay us for an eye exam when the market price for one is around &pound;28/&pound;30. Mind, when the bucket shops offer eye exams for a tenner or nowt, there's no wonder the DoH tell us to piss off.</p>

    And that was Dirk's 20 seconds of seriousness for 2007.</p>

    If you buy a Phone on contract you can get one for nowt, otherwise

    http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/default.asp#wii_consoles

    sign up here for emails when stock are in, i got one from Amazon for £179.99 and still get the emails but beware they are like hens teeth. Game shop in tarn this morning had a dleivery but they were all booked and they still have 120 on the list waiting with names added every day.

    If you want to pay top dollar then Amazon resales have them for those profiteering *****. Just a heads up, i havn't received an email for over a fortnight to say thet have stock anywhere,and even Woolies have climbed on the bandwagon as they were listed at £249 on their site till monday then they went up to £299 despite having no stock

    Fair enough. Dentistry certainly is legalised robbery. nt
