Nintendo WII UK affiliate all out of stock?

I'm ranking particularly well for some Nintendo related phrases; as a result for the last few weeks I've been getting really good conversions from HMV, play etc.

Yesterday it went mental for the UK launch, I pulled in 2500 referrals for Nintendo related phrases alone and guess how I earned? A big fat nothing.

Every UK supplier seems to be out of stock, so no-one can actually buy the bloody thing. Amazon gave a few away between 3-4pm but these went in seconds too.

play - sold out
ebuyer - sold out (were listing X due in X days up until launch too)
HMV - sold out
amazon - sold out
pcworld - sold out
currys - sold out
game - some out

I notice some people are still targetting the Wii quite aggresively on adwords etc, maybe a heads up for these lot to put their stuff on hold for a while too.

If anyone knows of any affiliates who are taking orders let me know. I wouldn't even mind if people could actually place the order and agree to wait a few weeks but there isn't even an option for this currently.

I am an affiliate taking orders but ONLY for the JAPANESE version, which ONLY plays the Japanese version games. Express delivery UK available.

Send them all to eBay, there are over 1,000 currently on sale on there

Just a reminder. to all messaging me... I'm only an affiliate. The Nintendo WII Japanese version is priced in US$ with a price comparison in £ set to the exchange rates. When you click through the link on the site to the product, you then have the opportunity to view the Japanese version games.

You can get Wii from Amazon marketplace sellers. Not sure what the commission level is though.

Quite a few were sold yesterday for approx £450 - £500 when they had the latest batch of amazon stock for sale. I had 3 computers logged in to amazon accounts trying to get one. Sods law say that I told one other person about the sale and he got one

As Kieth (Drivetowin) has suggested - funnel your traffic to the "Nintendo wii" auctions
