Your best chance is ebay, sadly.
I finally said "screw it" and copped a 360. Assassin's Creed is NASTY so far.
I will, however, cry about not having Smash Bros.

bollox - the playability is awesome
the graphics are not....but somehow it doesn't seem to matter
Maybe if you play on yr own, then a 360 would be better, but if you play games with yr mates / family, then Wii rocks.

Mario Kart and Smash Bros
Otherwise you just buy one, play Zelda thru, then ebay the mofo.

They will accept reservations provided you are able to collect on the day they phone you to say it is in. I reserved one from Game inside Debenhams and got it the very next day - seems people forget about the small concessions inside larger stores.

I know a guy who's selling them for ยฃ250, based in Warrington, can collect or he'll mail one out.
If you're interested let me know and I'll provide further details.

Apparently Amazon Germany don't deliver Wiis here any more as they were getting so many orders.

Many stores are selling them only via package deals, for ยฃ299 upwards - many shops for example GAME have terms and conditions stating you can return games aslong as they are unopened - if you take your receipt you will get about 90% of the cost of the game back, as you get a little discount for buying a package deal, but its for a game you robably dont want - they wont like doing it but if you play your face and print off the terms and conditions from the web-site your sorted! Means you can get a console and Wii sports for about ยฃ200 - assuming you can catch them in stock!

Thanks, going to start going through all the links and suggestions...then +1'ing on the hour.
Mike: I've got an xbox 360 and tend to use it only through the twilight hours with the boys when we link up for PES08 challenges. I was thinking of adding a wii simply so that the rest of our family/friends could use it rather than watching on hour after hour clock watching.
I'm so sorry (Mr) Bond, nothing against Bond movies at all at all, but they only ever tend to show On Her Majesty's Secret Service (which is poop).

Apparently this clause was put in a few weeks ago. Saw a report on a Wii board of someone ordering and then getting their order cancelled because they were in the UK.

If you cant find one, and want to pay cost plus shipping to UK, let me know. I think they are 249.00 USD for base unit. I dont know if you would need a power adapter or not???
