Just say a Toy's R Us Commercial, they advertised the Wii... This means they will have Wii's or else it would be illegal to do that.

@wojitas.... woah! a high end computer for £300..... insane, that is about as cheap as you can go for a new PC here... a proper high end PC would cost upward of £1000 if not double that. (equivalent to selling 10 Wiis £100 over MSRP)

@ mockingbird... are they supposed to take down the ads 10 minutes after a shipment?.... as long as they know they get a shipment (at least each week) it shouldn't be illegal. The store can't air ads for the few minuites each day they might actually have stock.

unless you mean store window ads, in which case i would agree.

@TWRoO
Well there's more to the story as always. If i were, say , get my ultimate gaming pc the price would go up to 2000 pounds. The 300 version would consist of:

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DQ6 motherboard
Core 2 Duo E6850 BOX CPU
Kingston DDR2 4GB Ram 800mhz
GIGABYTE GeForce 8800GTX 768MB gfx card
SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer audio card
plus the usual CD/DVD RW and HDD 300GB, so not that big a deal if you ask me.

The 2000 pound version is where the funny things strat to happen ;).

good, I hope this weeks and next weeks sales are a lot better than last weeks.

wel i don't know what all those things do, but the inclusion of a seperate gfx card and an actual gamer audio card, and 300GB HDD would mark the prce up way over £300.

I'm not talking gaming PC price... just a PC... it would proably have 1Ghz processor, 512mb of Ram... gfx would be integrated, and HDD would be 80G/120G.... that's what you get for £300... and would probably only just run GTA:San Andreas.... Crysis seems to be touted as needing a good gaming PC to run,... there is no way £300 would get you a PC to run Crysis.

In fact no PC at £300 here would be considered "gaming" PC, looking through a catalogue (Argos) the ones touted as gaming PCs are generally at least £700-800 (and i would bet Crysis would either be on it's lowest possible settings, or not work on these)

remember Reggie quoting after Halo 3 that MS had "fired their bullet and Nintendo was still standing" and "Nintendo has to still fire theirs"...

Perhaps we're about to see Nintendo's bullet!!

Just came back from my local Best Buy. 5 people in line already. I expect there to be hundreds by tomorrow morning.

Yawn

hmm, just watched a clip on yahoo:

(from ABC news)

and i thought only diehards like us know about the big shipment coming up... guess i need to get out more!

nintendo is turning the wii into the ipod of console gaming!! (i know why nintendo chose a name like the wii! it stands out. if it was called the "xbox" it wouldn't stand out! i'm not so sure about what would happen if it was called the nintendo playstaion?)
