There were some companies you could still get the Wii Fit from, that’s if you didn’t mind paying over the odds for one or if you wanted all the extras they forced you to buy at the same time.

On Friday 1st August, I went shopping with the wife and my brother Alex to Tesco’s. It was our usual weekly shop of food and when ever we get there we always have a wonder upstairs at the games and cloths  to see if there are any bargains, as you do. This time I decided to ask how often they got Wii Fit’s and if I could pre-order them. The young kid said they don’t allow pre-order but asked if I was looking to buy one. I was rather confused because I thought my originally question would imply I was looking to order one, you know buy one! Of course I said I was to which he told me they had some in the back stock room.

Apparently after purchasing mine there was only one left out of a large pile that had arrived that morning. The reason they never made it to display is that they were awaiting a promotional box to use.

I’ve now sweated 10 buckets and still weigh the same but apparently if I persist then I’ll soon be loosing that fat. The wife is also extremely happy with it, she’s wanted one for a while.

I’m disapointed I never received a mail from them about their stock, I’m also disappointed that I couldn’t get the double points that you get from ordering on Tesco Direct,  I’m disapointed even more because the gent at the check out forgot to put my points on and my final disapointment is that they refused to do it at customer services because they close at 22:00 and it was just 22:00 plus a few seconds. Now we never normally go in there before that time because we like to avoid the crowds and go later to do so, we were only early because of my brother being with us. Normally when they screw up the points they will fix the problem at the till but not this time.

Now I bet some reading this are thinking whoopee do, a few points had been left off. Well each quarter we probably get about £10 or £15 back in vouchers from them because of our shopping there and purchases like this.  Just think of it as a free weekly shop every year, or a free tank of fuel for your car every year, in addition to 5p offer each liter when you spend £50 or more in store.

Anyway enough about bloody Tesco staff being unable to perform their job and Tesco points!

I just can’t wait for the forthcoming release of Raving Rabbids TV Party. Now that looks awesome, October 2008!

There are loads going for the same sort of price, why are people paying sill money for these things, I’ve just been to Argos, there in stock, I went to HMV and there also in stock there too and there all priced at the £69.99 RRP.

So why do people pay over the odds on E-bay when they could pay up to £60 less in the shops, and yes these shops do have stock when I checked today, the 25th of April 2008

The only reason we didn’t buy one was because I think it’s stupid you pay so much money and then you have to put batteries in like you do with the Wii remote, HMV do however over a USB battery pack that plugs into the Wii at an extra cost of something like £13 (But means you don’t have to keep pumping them with more costly batteries).

I think we can wait a little longer until the cost comes down some more.

If anyone reads this I suggest you check with your local retailers first, rather than joining the E-bay rip-off.
