I couldn't get one! They're going for £350+ on ebay.
Is restocking of shops likely?

Yes, very likely, I doubt they will give up on getting cash before Christmas.

Wii is outselling Sony's Playstation3 2 to 1 because Sony had major production and delivery issues. you're way more likely to score a Wii than a PS3.
having said that, the games on the PS3 are supposed to be more sophisticated.

shall I buy on EBay in the hope of selling it on at a higher price? 2 days ago they were going for £200. I suspect a speculative bubble is forming.
I don't want to lose out like I did in the British Turnip bubble of 1986 of course. (highly localised, not on wikipedia, but similar to the Dutch bulb bubble, which is there)

>>"buy on EBay in the hope of selling it on at a higher price?"<<
based on my extensive experience in stock, commodity, futures, and mutual fund markets, i would advise against it.
(disclaimer: if you want to do well in the markets, watch what i do and do the opposite!)

muso, that ad reminds me of the joke
Bill Gates dies, and ascends to the Pearly Gates to meet God. God immediately recognizes him and says to him "Bill Gates -- you're a great man. I shall give you a choice of either heaven or hell." Bill Gates tells God that he would like to see both before making a decision.
So God takes Bill Gates down to Hell, where there are beautiful, nubile bikini models, perfect weather, free drinks, and eternal happiness. "That doesn't seem so bad," says Gates. "Let's see Heaven now." God and Gates go to Heaven, which seems to be just a bunch of old, crusty angels flying around and sitting on a few clouds. "I've made my decision," says Gates. "I choose Hell."
Six months later, God goes down to Hell to check on him and finds him hanging above a pit of fire with wild harpies tearing out his intestines. "What happened to all the bikini models and the sun and the fun?" Gates screams. "Oh, that," says God. "That was just the demo."

they're up to £400 on Ebay now.
I've heard that the intense physical effort of moving poses a threat to the game player. As opposed to things like actually playing football/rugby/martial arts etc.

The only ones hurling their controllers into the TV are the ones who, um, don't have opposable thumbs, if you know what I mean.

I heard you could DL the older Zelda and Banjo games to it. How does that work? Does it cost a lot or take a ton of time to DL?
