Nintendo Wii on-sale tomorrow at Amazon – Its not too late.

For those of you, who have not pre-ordered a Wii, there is still a chance of getting one in time for Christmas. Amazon.co.uk will start pre-orders tomorrow – Wii at Amazon.co.uk

After the sale of the console on Amazon.com caused headlines as it sold out in less than one minute the same could happen in the UK. Make sure your free and ready at 8.49 AM because it might be gone by 9.01 AM.

Here’s the official email from Amazon.co.uk.

Dear Nintendo fan,

With its innovative motion-sensing controller and family-fun orientated games, Nintendo’s Wii console will revolutionise how we play. You can pre-order yours at Amazon.co.uk from tomorrow, November 21, during business hours (9am – 5pm GMT). We will stop taking pre-orders once we’ve pre-sold all the consoles Nintendo have allocated to us for release day. Order early to avoid disappointment! If you’re not lucky enough to get hold of a Wii in our initial pre-order window, we’ll email you when we get more stock in.

UK customers: if you choose First Class delivery, your console should be dispatched in time for delivery on December 8. We will work closely with our delivery partners to ensure, as far as possible, delivery by December 8. However, this cannot be guaranteed as some delays may occur which are outside our control. If you choose Free Super Saver Delivery, your console will be delivered 2-5 business days later than December 8.

International customers: we will work closely with our delivery partners to ensure, as far as possible, delivery by December 8. However, this cannot be guaranteed as some delays may occur which are outside our control. Please note that a signature will be required for delivery of your Wii.

  • The pre-orders opened at approximately 9.35 and by the time I managed to get to the check-out they were all gone. I suppose it just goes to show that the Wii will most probably win the console wars this Christmas.

An absolute tech junky, I graduated from the University of Manchester with a degree in Computing and now live on the outskirts of Leeds working with you guessed it, Computers. I love all things gadgety but really dislike wires. For those of you who haven’t worked it out the name of the site is a combination of my nickname (Gaj) and the pronunciation ‘Gadget’.
