[Toxin]

Anyone seen any Wii specials in stores for X-Mas?

This is the closest you'll get to a wii bundle:

You could just email core at [email protected] and ask them what bundles will be available.

You could, but you'd probably only get a reply after christmas

They only reply to "nice" emails. Because none of the emails I've sent them was nice I haven't yet received a reply.

Here's my latest mail to them:

Subject:Games

Dear Sirs

When will we be receiving more Wii games? B grade 3rd party games are not
good enough.

What happened to Resident Evil4 Wii edition, Cooking Mama and Trauma
Centre:Second opinion? These were all Wii launch titles and yet they
aren't on our shores.

Could I please have a list of South African release dates for Wii games.

On another note, I thought I let you know how much money your company has
lost by only stocking substandard(and overpriced) games and accessories.

So far, what I've ordered from www.take2.co.za amounts to these games and
accessories:

1*Super Mario: Galaxy @ R 492
1*Metroid Prime3 @ R 499
1*Mercury Meltdown Revolution @ R 348
1*Mercury Meltdown Revolution @ R 323
1*2000 Wii Points Card @ R 259
1*Wii Classic Controller @ R166
1*Wii Nunchuk Controller @ R166

So that means you have lost out on R2253.

Please keep in mind that I tell all my friends to order their games
through www.take2.co.za and www.dvdcrave.com as you refuse to stock the
games we want.

Regards
JP

I sent them a very nice email the day after I got my wii, about the buzzing PSU - I got a reply a week later, telling me to phone them.

Luckily this forum had come to the rescue by then, but still, I'm not overly impressed with their communication skills.

According to the Core Group there will be no specific christmas specials apart from that kalahari bundle..

Also remember that the Core group does not have the distribution rights to all Wii games, SterKinekor and Megarom distribute quite a few of them as well.....

I knew that. I'm just very irritated.

Has anyone read Megan Hughs column in the latest nag? Almost everything she said there was duplicated from what I said a couple months ago. At least now more people know.

Please read this thread to completion for a lot more insight into core's greediness.

Can we not complain to Nintendo directly? Perhaps they can give Core (or the others) a kick up the backside. I can't understand how they are not interested in selling the big games? Do they not want to make more money, is there no stock? Thank goodness for Take2 and DVDcrave and numerous other int stores with free shipping!
