Anywhere with a wii in stock. They are sold out everywhere here in the us. If I get one from the uk and ship it over can I unlock it for us games ?

Im not interested in your opinion of the console or I would have said, "Tell me your thoughts on the Wii". No I said "Where can I get one". So thanks anyway.

There are stores knocking around with them in stock.  I just sold mine a couple of weeks ago.  I bought it for £180 about 4 months ago and just sold it for £404 with one game and an extra controller.  They are not selling nowhere near as much now, due to inconsistent supply.  Bought a 360 with the profits .... and am very happy.  Tried Argos?

Even modified at this point in time, some, but not all US games will work :(

Indeed, if you time it right, late night for example Ive seen them going for £210.

I cant imagine them staying this low on the runup to Christmas.

Even lunch time today they were around that as well. I have just been looking, as if I found one out shopping (probably wont), I was going to wack it on ebay, but its not worth it for the money tbh.

Your a mug if you pay over RRP.

even last year when they first came out, I didnt pre-order nor did I pay over the odds,   My brother had one from game about a week before xmas for £179.

Paying over £200 is ridiculous.  Buy a 360 ffs!

Got to admit, I got one when they were supposidly all out of stock.

But paying just over RRP isnt too bad TBH if you really want one. Dont see how you can say get a 360 though, as they are totally different consoles. Plus, Sam has asked about Wiis ;) lol
