I'm at my wits end. Ceilidh wants an nintendo ds pink for her Christmas.
I have tried everywhere and cant get one for love nor money they are all sold out. I have my name on the Argos waiting list and Toys R Us. I phone other stores daily. Even Moli has tried to get me one in her neck of the woods to no avail.

Any ideas anyone?

Sorry Jac, just checked my local (and work) Argos and all stores are out of stock.

Also checked, comet, amazon, tescos but all out of stock. The only place I can find one is ebay

I could get one on ebay but it was coming from Honk Kong and didn't want to risk it.

Thanks for trying for me.

I have tried Argos, Comet, Curry's, Woolworths, Toys R Us, PC world, Amizon, Boots, Dixons and Debenhams:roll: :shock:

Jac, I did notice some sellers from the UK selling them (buy it now) but I think they were a little bit more expensive.

Why do they always want the impossible :? I had the same problem last year and ended up buying a silver one and getting some nice pink skins for it.

Have you tried hmv, Virgin. I hope you will be able too get one for her. I had to get 2 silver ones for mine about a month ago. Even them are limited supply now. I am looking for high school musical ds game which also is impossible to get. I wouldnt buy off ebay at the moment you dont know what you will get or if it will come

I will carry on looking for you

I am having the same problem getting hold of a Nintendo Wii. I doubt Em will get it for Christmas but she is old enough to understand that I can't get one and will wait until after Christmas. Em had the Nintendo DS pink last Christmas, she loves it! Hope you manage to get her one Jac..

oops sorry jac :oops:

Don't be sorry at all!!! I got her one and that's the main thing.
Thank you for looking for me. Your link was cheaper than the one's on Ebay. I'm never very sure about getting stuff from there. The big bonus is my Mum has just said she will pay for it:-D .

Anne thanks again.

Glad it worked out, Jac! I'd love to see her face when she opens that package...

Jac

She'll be over the moon. She doesn't think she stands a chance to get one as Derek keeps saying that they rot the brain:-D

Glad you got one. My freiend is having the same problem getting a Wii. She told me someone bought one on ebay for £300 and when the parcel arrived it was just a brick. Not sure how true this is, but if it is true, it is disgusting.

I'm sure someone here bought a phone from ebay and never got it. It was last year sometime I think. I'm always dubious about it.
