I've been trying my hardest to get one for over a month now! If anybody knows of where I can buy one from asap, I'd be ever so grateful if you could let me know.

Thanks

Lianne

I work for Littlewoods Home Shopping and the latest delivery date is now Jan 08! And we've been out of stock all summer.

I had this problem a couple of weeks ago. Was trying to get one for my son's birthday which is the second week of October. None of the major shops have any and this problem is not just local to me, I'm talking nationwide. Even Hamleys in London don't have any. I hate to say this but I think it's extremely unlikely that any will be available anywhere this side of Christmas. Even Game aren't taking orders for them and that's very unusual.

For the record, I did manage to get one in the end from a shop called GameStop in Birmingham. I doubt they have any now but might be worth a try. They were apparently the last shop to have any left in the whole of Birmingham!!!!

Good luck

Oh yeah, must get this off my chest too...

I HATE it when shops put the empty boxes on display to make it look like they have some in stock when there are none

. They could at least put a notice outside to inform people that they are out of stock. I'm sure lots of people ask for these consoles every day so it would save both staff and customers from wasting their time.

I don't know about this year, but last Christmas the Virgin and HMV stores in Brum all put 'out of stock' notices up.

We were thinking of one of these for our boys Christmas, saw how scarce they were and then realised that it would be better to invest in something that gave better rewards long term.
We hope they appreciate their musical instruments!

I hope you and Marble appreciate their musical instruments too.

Not this year - It's infuriating

Actually, the console itself isn't bad but I don't think it lives up to the hype either...these things never do, do they?

Do you know, I don't think you can beat a wooden bat with a rubber ball on the end of an elastic for entertainment.

I got one from Blockbuster about a month ago.

They are out there, its just looking on a daily basis, argos stock check is a good one, but try everywhere that has them as much as you can
