If it's still free by the time it comes to Europe, I'll be amazed.

Pah. Got told by dialaphone today that the Wiis were due in last week, then yesterday, then today. However, apparently they can send me a cheque for the rrp and I can get one myself if anywhere has them in stock. Most tempting. I think I'll give them another couple of days though. Hope this offer lasts a while then!

You'll not really get one any quicker by diy. There hen's teeth again from what I've seen down the high street.

Well, according to the email I just received, it's due for delivery tomorrow! Hurrah! Between 8am and 5.30pm though, so I'll have to pick it up.

By the way - the internets have given me the direct dial number for their customer services manager, so if anyone actually wants to get anywhere with them, let me know!

The one on the base of your console, including the number in the square?

For me it accepted it when I included the zero in the square at the end of the serial number.

But it pays to plan ahead. You may need none soon enough, the parents looking for Wii's level is already reaching 'fairly worried', I think it's the early xmas adverts.

Mine arrived the other day, but I thoughtlessly only ordered one. It fits on well, and feels very comfortable when holding the Wiimote. In fact, when holding it sideways like you do for super paper mario, it's actaully far more comfortable to hold than before. Can you order extra ones?

I've ordered 4 and can certainly spare a couple if anyone's desperate and didn't order more than one
