    We all know that Santy can't make enough Wiis for all the kids in the world and that not everyone might get one, so obviously there's a huge demand for them on the private market...

    But has anyone seen the ad on telly for the competition to win a Wii? They know well that parents are desperate not to disappoint their kids if Santa can't deliver... This competition signs you up to a subscription service which charges you €2 every 4 days if you don't cancel it after entering... just to warn people because this is detailed in very small print on the ad!

    those competitions on tv are always scams, avoid them like the plague.

    A guy came into Tesco a few months ago and bought 7 wiis, He obviously doesn't care about taking advantage of you when he sells them for triple the price :D

    One of the guys in work had an offer from some shower of pricks (i.e. a business) in Galway selling wiis for almost 400 euros :rolleyes:

    Don't cave in to consumerism -- buy a DS!
