Find the last Wii in Britain now!

December 17th, 2007

It seems that this year’s ‘Most Wanted’ present - or at least ‘Most Wanted But Hard to Find’ present is the Nintendo Wii. This is the games console that famously comes with a wireless controller that lets you simulate playing golf or tennis by waving it like you were swinging your club or racket. From the reports in the media, there are going to be a lot of disappointed children - and adults too - who don’t get their Wii for Christmas. One article suggests that the shortage is a deliberate ploy by Nintendo so that parents buy the software games now and then are committed to buying the hardware (the games console itself) later. This seems too far fetched to me: I’ll bet that any child old enough to want a Wii will not be impressed by a couple of games in boxes that they can’t play until some unspecified future date.

Anyway, if you are still on the hunt for a Wii, then you could do worse than visit this clever website. You just leave the site open and every 60 seconds it crawls though webistes of a wide range of retailers and pops up a message telling where if anywhere a Wii is available as new stocks are added online. Just be sure to check the delivery dates when you order if you really need it in time for Christmas!
