Wii Pre-order mess-up

    In October I pre-ordered a Nintendo Wii with 3 extra sets of controllers and Twilight Princess through GAME's online service.

    I thought I was sorted until on the 1st of December I got an e-mail saying that my order had been cancelled!

    They said that "due to unforseen circumstances, we cannot send to Ireland, apologies blah blah blah".

    I was so annoyed, I vouched never to go to Game again, so I go into Gamestop in Sligo to see if I could get it. I go in at 7.30am on the 8th of December only to see a HUGE queue outside.

    I decided to line up anyway, but then the manager came out to say that they had none left, but that that would be getting more in a couple of days. I go in and buy 3 extra controllers and Zelda, and left my name in with Gamestop, thinking I was sorted.
    (I still haven't got a phonecall from them yet by the way).
    So then last Friday, I got an e-mail from GAME saying that they have sent out 3 extra sets of controllers AND Zelda!

    So now I have no console, 6 sets of controllers and 2 Zeldas!!!!!

    What am I to do!!!!!!!

    I'll take 1 set of controllers from you for whatever you paid :D

    Try eBay dude, always loads on there but you'll have to pay over the odds to get one. I manged to snag a couple off there yesterday. If you've the time keep an eye on what's ending withing 5 minutes and then make a last minute bid to see if you win while not paying too much.

    Actually I'll buy the copy of Zelda from you as well.
