Me neither (but that didn't stop me from buying one!). Thanks OP. Now, can anyone recommend some games? World War II ones if possible .

Bought one as well earlier. Got the confirmation email, so should be OK. Worth it in my opinion at that price even if only for Wii Sports! Now to try and find a cheap 2nd remote, any suggestions?

It would nearly be as cheap to buy a second wii from here!

You can buy non official ones for pretty cheap on ebay:

e.g about €9.30 delivered:

Does that offer include the nunchuck part of the remote I wonder? prob does just dont see it mentioned.

There is generic remote+nunchuck on DealExtreme - was $12 - but prices seems to be up a little last time I checked.

edit- witnessmenow ebay links look cheaper.

Ordered one delivered to Ireland and the postage is only £2.95 so works out as cheap as using ParcelMotel without having to go and collect it.

mine was canceled but thanks to Deleted User i purchased one on ebay

as it is quite old console and video quality isn't brilliant i would recommend to get component cable (instead of included composite) which improves a picture quite a bit

can be purchased for under €4 at ebay, deal extreme etc.

Delivery terms state :
We are unable to ship orders outside of the UK over 1000g. This includes all hardware orders.

I bought a wii last year and had the order cancelled .

Interesting - I've already received confirmation it has been shipped so I guess I'll wait and see what happens next.

At the bottom of the delivery info it states

We are unable to ship orders outside of the UK and Ireland over 1000g. This includes all hardware orders.

Perhaps they have amended their terms ?
Much handier to have it delivered direct .

Not sure tbh but now that the order is reportedly shipped I think I'll wait and see what happens - maybe this one slipped out before they checked the weight!

It might be that I chose the delivery for Ireland rather than Parcel Motel in UK, but as other people got their Wii's shipped, there might be a chance of mine to ship too.
