More on Wii Shortages

have a story regarding DSG and Wii. As you may recall DSG were the first big retailer to drop the Gamecube. Well they predict that on pre-orders their allocation tomorrow and their next 4 deliveries will still sell out.

"We're expecting to fulfil all pre-orders on the day," said Hamish Thompson of DSG. "We're continuing to take pre-orders but informing consumers that they probably won't be able to be fulfilled until after Christmas."
"We're expecting four deliveries between now and Christmas and we expect them all to go to pre-orders. If customers haven't already pre-ordered then they've probably missed the boat."

Both Comet and WHsmiths have placed Wii point of sale in their stores in the last 2 weeks and only Comet have listed any kind of preorder scheme. I saw no schemes in any DSG stores.

Those who want to try their luck early tomorrow would be advised to try WHSmiths, Comet, Currys (superstores) and maybe Asda as they had very small quantities of 360's in last year. Will Asda get them on the shelves at midnight? Will Tescos have any?

Good luck to those trying for one for themselves to keep.
