The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword isn't bad for €18.99. Not as good as Xenoblade price, but still good.

Only 1 in every store - http://checkargos.com/StockCheckPage.php?productId=2049526

I was told in store today by the manager that the WiiU will probably get a big price drop at the end of April.
It's really not selling at all. Selling more mini Wii than WiiU by a long shot.

It had a massive price drop a few weeks ago in Currys/PC World (€149 for Premium pack).

If they do it in Argos, it will probably be limited to a certain amount.

Wow. If it drops enough, I'll buy a second one.

Small consolation for my complete loss of faith in humankind. Morons.

Anyone had luck ordering it for collection in a store?

I went through all the steps, entering mobile no. and email etc and clicking reserve, and I got a reservation email without any reservation number, so I presume they have ordering for stock that they don't have.

I tried to reserve it earlier in a couple of stores and was brought to the sold out page, even though it said Item could be ordered..

In the end I reserved the last one in another store. I hope they don't sell it to someone before I get there.

I don't think so, but I had to ask in store anyway, as it didn't seem to be advertised anywhere. Maybe if you go in and ask they'll offer one of the bundles. I know they still had the Zombiiu bundle with the pro controller and ZombiiU game for ~ €200.
EDIT - I forgot to mention, they were all in the back, not on the Shop Floor.

Just off Phone to Argos. They said they might have more Xenoblade Chronicles in store next week.

If anybody has a reservation code for Xenoblade in Dublin, please can I have it? I got the very last bundle on reserve code but it's in Monaghan and lol no way I can make it up there. It's mad, I heard about this deal last night on the UK website and then checked the Irish website but it had no results for Xenoblade when I typed it in, so I thought it must be a UK thing until this afternoon. Sick, absolutely sick.

While I was on phone, I had forgotten I had asked my sister if she was near any argos, to see if she could get it in store.
Guy told her they were getting them in next week, and asked did she want to reserve it. She said yes, and he was unable to. He asked her to ring them next Thursday and do it then..
I'm now more confused, I don't know if that means he had incorrect info, or if they are getting them.
