    I heard the guy in GAME in the square telling a customer that they had plenty remotes, but keep them in the store room because they can't just put out a display case, and there were too many trying to steal them! So make sure you ask for them in the shop as opposed to looking for them

    I got Wii Play in gamestop in Carlow for 59.99 last weekend

    Then got the nunchuck in dixons in Tallaght for 24.99

    well i was in there today and asked behind the desk and he just said they hadnt got any in stock. same in xtra-game. saw them in HMV but it was 52 euro and thought that was a bit steep so didnt buy it.

    HMV prices seem steep, as do Virgins, which is why it was such a slap in the mouth to me after payin €110 for Guitar Hero 3 in Game to find out it was 80 in HMV... :(

    i dont think it is expensive considering the games a cheaper... i think i'd prefer to pay 40-50 euro per game and 80 for controllers than 60-70 euro for a game and 40 for controllers...

    I recommend buying from US or Asia.
    $50 + $20 beats 55e + 25e.

    Do the remotes and nunchucks from the states work properly with the consoles over her?

    Any chancees of getting Wii Play with the remote before Christmas?
    Saw loads of them last week in Smyths in Childers road (limk) but didn't buy 1 cos I hadn't got the Wii. But I got it today!! Fanfare!!!!
    Argos have Play with mote listed at 49.99 - a snip except they don'y ever seem to have them.
    Girl in Gamestop today said if you buy an extra remote you have to buy an extra nunchuck is this true? Haven't had a chance to read the Wii manual yet cos Santa had to hide everything before school finished.

    You don't have to, but if you want to play 2-player games that require nunchuks, e.g. boxing in Wii sports, then yes, you'll need another nunchuk.

    I was having major trouble tracking one down a month or so ago. Eventually I bought it online from either HMV or Play, can't remember which.

    Got a Remote and Nunchuck in New York yesterday. 65dollars (less than €50). Works perfectly as I have just installed it. Man in shop told me they are universal whereas games are different from europe.

    Have yours shipped yet? Cause that "Typically ships in 2-3 business days" thing is crap, it means taht they dont have them in stock, but there expecting them, could be 2-3 weeks till there sent!

    i'm having problems with my wii remote, anyone know how to re-synch them?

    ordered 30.11.07 shipped 05.12.07, not bad turn around time, yeah the 2-3 days is a big of a gamble, I had a GC controller on order for 3 weeks and asked for a refund which they did no problem, ended up ordering a wireless one from Gameplay

    arrived this morning, all working fine


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,632 ✭✭✭✭okidoki987


    That was close.
    2 weeks is a while.

    Under the casing beside the battery on the Wiimote there's a little red button.

    On the Wii under the SD card flap there's a corresponding red button. Press them both and let them synch
