    I decided to go to Tullamore to see if I could get mine at Byrnes.
    Queue of 6 people outside at 8.40am, leaving me as 7th.
    Got in at 8.50, manager said they hadn't arrived yet but gave us all slips of paper with numbers on them.
    I decided to do a call around, Blacks in Portlaoise had a queue of 30 with only 3 units available.
    Byrnes in Navan had 3 left at 9.10, so I called a mate up there to rush down and get me one.
    Got the last one at that shop.
    Byrnes in Tullamore got 5, so happy days!
    Now I wonder if I can keep it wrapped up til Christmas Eve? It's a present from the missus.

    Rang Argos in Cavan 3 time during the week to see if I could pre-order it and was told it was a case of first come, first served on the morning. So was down at 8:45 waiting. Got into the shop and of the six people there only one of us was given one because he'd booked it. Everyone else there was in the same boat as me, having rang up a few times each and every time been told that you couldn't pre-order them.

    So, well pissed off, I went to another shop a few units down. I was 6th in the queue there and after waiting for about 40 minutes for anyone to turn up a fedex van arrived.... followed by an army jeep............ handed an employee ONE box as she came from her car and drove of.

    So there was one (well, two but the other one had been nabbed by a member of staff ............ :@) wii sent to the shop and i didn't get it.

    Crap Dregin thats a pretty poor number for Cavan. We got ours in Game in Enniskillen, we preordered a few days after they started the preorder system and ended up being number 18. They called us twice before launch, once to confirm we where deffo getting one and then to confirm what package we wanted.

    Mrs picked it up yesterday morning, she asked how many they had got and they got 30 in total. Local Woolworths didn't receive any at all. Also for some reason they couldn't disable the security tag on the wii so every shop my Mrs went into afterwards it set off the shops security detector.
