In Waterfords Gamestop on Saturday while I was there they
received a few hundred and from the sounds of it quite a few
branches got some but they had been old they wouldn't have them in
time for Christmas or something.
GameStop issued a press release yesterday claiming to have got a
big shipment of them in which they will be distributing to their 50
stores. From memory Walter is right - part of a bundle.
I dropped by gamestop a few moments ago. Not open yet and
there's a queue snaking it's way round outside the shopping center.
It's cold and pissing rain. Those people deserve their DSs and Wiis
(I asked a few - it's either DS or Wii). I'll be passing by
later.
I got my wii in cannes, and they were easily available in berlin
last weekend. Perhaps one of the paris travellers this week can pop
by a fnac? You can check their stock online.
Yes, pixenate snow, very nice - I need to reshoot that mugshot
to have my head lower to fit the hat in. In fact, looking at the
photo there are many reasons I need to reshoot it but that's one of
them :-) Back on thread - continental vendors don't seem to require
the bundle purchase - they will try to upsell remotes and games but
it is not a requirement. @evertb let us know when/if you get
one, but I'll keep an eye out up here in the meantime

Don't know if they'll have 'em - could already be a queue or (more likely) they'll be in a pricey bundle. My number is 086-8511600.

update: the store might be open at 10:30 - unfortunately I have a meeting at 10:30. I'll pop by at 9 to see what the story is anyway.

I noticed that the new Viking Direct brochure was advertising them so it might be worth trying their website.

@james: but you'll have to buy 4 reams of A4 paper and a box of binders to be able to buy it :P

@sxoop Appreciate the effort. Was in a area of patchy to no GSM coverage so couldn't call you back.

Do Wii consoles purchased in the States have power supplies that work in Europe?

@topgold the games won't work - I think it's a NTSC vs PAL thing.

I'm just pretty annoyed and angry! Elaine's hosting company Register 365 misled her into thinking that she supported JSP and Java but they don't.
