Back when it was still called Revolution and there wasn't anything all that revolutionary about it, I wasn't all that interested. But since Nintendo first showcased the unique control method and announced it as the "Wii" (which is still a crap name) my interest has been peaked.
I was of course absolutely delighted when they also announced that it would be much cheaper than either of it's competitors (The XBox 360 and PS3) at a fairly modest £200.
So for the last few weeks I've been trying to find one, and let me tell you - it's like trying to find a transparent, micorscopic needle in a haystack the size of the sun. Nowhere has any, and annoyingly most places with pre-orders available are only selling it as part of a bundle for £300. No use to me.
I spoke to a guy in HMV on Leicester Square who told me that they were expecting 9 Wii's in on Thursday, but it's all done on a first come, first served basis. 9 units. And he said they'd be sold out about a minute after they opened. Ridiculous.
So I'm scouring websites and shops for any remote chance that they might have one tucked away somewhere, and each time I try I'm disappointed. I'd even got an extra £30/40 if the bundle was a game I'm particularly interested in, but most of them aren't.
It's driving me crazy. And it's driving Stef crazy too, since she's the one who has to listen to me complain about not being able to get one!
