OK at last - but DHL is not very good.
The console I was sent refused to load the game. I tried every CD in the pack but it refused each time. I had to send the whole thing back - thank goodness I hadn't thrown away the packaging. It was a real trial getting everything back in the box, but I did it.I contacted the carrier (DHL) to arrange collection. I stayed in all next day but by 6pm I had got very worried. I eventually managed to get through to them on the phone ( it is VERY hard to find a number for them as they prefer email contact). I was told that the driver had finished his shift and would call next day.Duh! A completely wasted day.Next day the driver phoned mid-morning asking where I was - the address he had been given on the form by DHL had missed out the name of my village and he was in a city 10 miles away looking for my address. I gave him directions and he eventually turned up.After I had been given a receipt I noticed that the bar code on it was not the same as the tracking number I had been given when I first arranged collection by DHL. I tried the old tracking number - it didn't work. I tried the new one - that didn't work either.I emailed Amazon to explain the situation. They replied saying that the failure to collect on the stipulated day had led to the tracking number being invalid.Good old Amazon let me know when the returned console had arrived. Thank you! I was VERY worried that i would have to end up paying for the replacement as well as the broken one.The console is everything I expected. Games are great. DHL is'nt!

Cynic
I purchased this Wii console and Sports Resort, along with Wii-fit and balance board, as a Christmas present for my wonderful wife. We found it relatively easy to set up and, so far, it has worked reliably. There is a wide range of activities which would, I am sure, suit most people with different interests, and uses competitiveness as a means of encouragement to work harder. The only slightly negative comment I have is that it tends to 'talk' too much during the initial measurement procedures.One final point I should like to make is that contrary to the date given when I was invited to comment, I did not purchase this on the 11th day of the 30th month, but on the 30th day of the 11th month! Amazon is eroding our Britishness - we are still independent of America (though, sadly, not of Europe)!

Review of Wii bundle.
Firstly, the console looks great. Its a clean, glossy white with few buttons and a stylish angular design. It has a bright blue light that shimmers when you enter a disk and when you recieve a message. The console is very easy to set up. The graphics are very good, better than the playstation 2. The graphics are excellent. The gameplay is fantastic due to the ultra accurate wii motionplus control.Connects to the internet easily, quickly and has a free, high quality browser. Also available to download retro games from a wide variety of older systems. Overall a ten out of ten console, and this offer is by far the best I have seen anywhere. Go buy, you won't be disappointed!Graphics - 9/10Gameplay - 10/10Internet - 9/10Fun - 10/10Aesthetics- 9/10Price - 10/10

Wii Console + Wii Fit Plus
I Purchased my Wii Console together with a Wii Fit Balance Board to help me create an exercise regime. I have been using this every day for the last month and I am very impressed with the overall package. Also my Grandchildren love to visit to play the large selection of games and Wii Fit fun challenges.When I purchased the Wii I wasnt aware that I would be able to connect it to the internet using the Wi-Fi I already have piped to my house. The ability to connect to BBC Iplayer and watch programmes missed during the previous week really amazed me with the ease of use and I have found this to be a really useful additional feature.Overall I think its a good value for money product.

Console came in not very good condition
I was really disappointed with the state of the Wii Console as it was supposed to be brand new but it came with a broken USB pot, some scratches here and there and dusty!!! seems like I was sold a used console for NEW.Unfortunately, my son who has been looking forward to the his supposed birthday gift would not allow me to return it. So I had to allow him to keep it, but honestly I was not happy at all, as £225 is a lot of money if you know what I mean. Many thanks

Not new, but is old, scratched, disc faulty etc etc
I was furious when my children opened this Christmas present, only to find that the included 'Sports Resort' game didn't work. The disc was scratched and had fingerprints on it, and is the Japanese version, hence it won't work on this console. This is definitely not new, as described by the seller. When I pushed the phone plug into the scart adapter, one of the pins broke off. The console is covered in small scratches. I spent 2 hours on boxing day driving round looking for games, but with no luck. This seller 'Nemoplacing' should be removed from Amazon. It's unbelievable they can try to con people like this. I will be boxing it up and returning it asap. Altogether a bad experience on Christmas day.
