Wii & Red Steel & Tony Hawks Downhill Jam - £212.50


Wii & Rayman Raving Rabids & Super Monkey Ball : Banana Blitz & Extra Wii Controller - £239.50

This is not good. I pre-ordered the Wii and the invoice stated £185.50 Total including delivery. Not bad considering the zelda game I thought. But alas, £210.50 is debited from my account ( a credit card payment would not have been processed until 12th December! Only the 10% discount was applied, and one phone call to lxdirect this morning reveals it is policy only to accept ONE discount code. He wasn't having any of the one of £ and one of % voucher codes either. Adamantly, ONLY ONE CODE PER TRANSACTION. So I abruptly cancelled my order and now have to wait for my account to be credited with the £210.50.

Here is the invoice I got by email, it means NOTHING!!

The best deal is as follows (I have done this)

Pre-order from HMV for £30. You get a game card that will give you enough for £15 (or thereabouts) off a game.
Get the HMV store card the week before its released and when you pay on the card you get 10% off, making the console + sports for £162.09 (less £30 deposit of course making it easier to pay for in December! ;) )

You then have £15 or thereabouts off a game - only if you preorder though!

Of course you then have the store card with 10% off any purchace for 12 weeks!

HTH

Thanks whirlers!

(P.S. I added a price to the title...)

I haven't done the maths on your claim Babbler, but I'll assume you have and it's correct, so thank you.

I didnt do the math on the points - its a special offer they have for pre-order (extra 1000 points or something). They told me I would get £15 wrth of points so hopefully they werent lying!

Thank you, great find!

So if the £15 off is correct and you can use it together with Zelda @ £39.99 That brings the price of wii + sports + zelda to 187.08.

....And with 10% of zelda also, it should make the total price about £183.08 !

Plus..
Rpoints: 2% cashback on hardware/console purchases.
Quidco: 2.5% for all shipped hardware sales (I take it this includes consoles?).

I'm not sure if you could use a cashback site with a pre-order or even the final bill settlement - but if you can, that's potentially another fiver off.

...Oh! and Hi! been lurking her for a week ot two! Great site! ...Have £20 amazon voucher to prove it!

Anyone know which store would be the best place to order a Wii from and to get it at launch? I Pre-ordered at Game the other day but i think ive left it too late to be able to get it at launch. Ive looked aroundat online stores but as theyre all doing first come first serve with no way of knowinghw many people have ordered i really know what to do...

amazon and a few others are still to except pre-orders, so you may have a chance with them.

see here for details of which ones havent taken any pre-orders yet.

Thanks for that link. Woolworths looks like a good bet, hopefully theyll only take preorders for how many units they have.

I got info today. HMV and GAME stres getting an average of 50 each. Should be plenty to go round...

And this little nintendo went Wii Wii Wii Wii Wii all the way home!!

hehe!

Me and my Girlfriend will be playing wii sports this winter. Might let a friend join in too!

Woo!! I can conect my Wii to your Wii and we can play with our Wii together!!
