Enough with this BS Wii crap. Call any damn store in europe and they have thousands all over the market why?? THERE AINT FRIKEN RETURNS THERE!!!! just exchanges.
I work in a big retail electronics store Best Buy ( screw it might as well tell the truth).And we have flatly told the rep why Nintendo forced all retailers to be in the NAR ( Nintendo Auto Replen) program,which means NO MORE ORDERING, Nintendo sends what they want. We told the rep it is to slow down returns. Reps dont say anything back PERIOD!!!! they only smile. In our back room we have not had a WII return well over a year. This is what Nintendo had in mind.
And then 3 months ago Sony did the same AUTO REPLEN. No more ordering.
So again don't be fools.
Here is the breakdown on how all retailers got forced into NAR
Last year in June Nintendo Approached Best Buy and other retailers and told us : You will go into NAR or you are out. WTF did you think retailers would do? say no and watch Nintendo go to Europe where a sale is a guaranteed sale ( No refunds). So all retailers said yes. But Nintendo did have a request they asked some retailers to change to a NO- Refund policy ,many retailers did not want that. So Nintendo said fine, we will send you a couple units at a time. That was the deal TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
Any moron out there thinking there are no Wii's or PS3's are you guys awake? There are MILLIONS available, the problem with is Nintendo and Sony are tired of this North America crap where you can buy-use then refund then go into another retailer and on and on You can go a whole year using product for FREE because before the return date expires you bring it back and get a refund.
So to recap the truth WE DID THIS TO OURSELVES!!! by ordering to much crap in previous years and watching morons using product and never keeping it.
All vendors are doing the same thing 07 is a terrible year for product as Vendors are watching and learning from Nintendo how to do business in North America. F off to the morons who abuse the return policies YOU CAUSED THIS PROBLEM and now you can't do your crap anymore BECAUSE THEIR AIN'T any product available now to keep exchanging then at the end getting your money back..
I am section manager at a Canadian Best Buy and I have had enough of this NonSense. The truth is ugly but it is because in North America you can use product for free then get your money back never needing to keep the product.
Sorry to Rant but enough is enough
