Thanks very much,

cottonfoo,
Yeah right!
FWIW... *IF* I decide to sell it, it will be sold for the same as what I have bought it for:
Wii £180
Zelda £40
Component Cable £60
Total £280
But.... I already have someone off here that has put his name down, if it does go.
Yeah right!

Well i went in woolworths inside the white rose shopping centre, Leeds this afternoon and to my delight there were 6 wii CD cases on the shelves saying "take this to the counter to get your new wii console for £179!!!" so like the big child i am i grabbed one and ran to the counter lol
At the electrical counter i find some sweaty balding chubby gentlemen, i handed him the case as he chuckled and replied "we dont have any" my face instantly went --->
ME: why are the cases on the self then?
FAT GIMP: because we cant keep taking them on and off the shelf depending on when we get stock"
ME: when are you next getting stock?
FAT GIMP: After christmas.
ME: SO TAKE THEM OFF THE ****ING SHELF UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS!!! Can i see the manager?
At that point fat gimp trotts off to get the manager, wasnt happy!

I've been searching this morning, but still no luck.
Managed to get a controller for the GF; I'm sure that'll really make her happy on Xmas morning.
(edit; when I say 'controller for the GF' I don't mean some form of futuristic remote control which works on women, I mean a Wii remote...)
