No Wii love for Harvey Norman

No Wii love for Harvey Norman

It's likely the Australian retailer Harvey Norman will be without Wii consoles this Christmas. Nintendo have stated they don't like way the company operates and that Harvey Norman's terms are "ridiculous".

If you're looking to pick up a Wii in Aus, best go somewhere else.

This is most likely also carried on from Harvey Norman's lack of support of the Gamecube as well as their "ridiculous" terms.

We here in NZ and AUS don't have Best Buy or GameStop. But we do have Noel Leeming, Dick-King Smith, Bond and Bond and EB Games so we don't have to worry.

It's good to see major companies actually taking the time to do things right and stop incorrect retail practices. I'm sure there must be something wrong with Harvey Norman if Nintendo is actually going to boycott them!

Dunno how many people in Australia are looking forward to Wii. I am! And Zelda M? Meh I'm over 15, it's cool. Harvey Norman, pff they suck. I never go there. One more reason not to. Gary, psst it's "Aussie", or maybe "Ossie" would work. Hmmm.

The only time I go into that place is to make sure I don't forget how much of a rip they are. Will be going to target and kmart in the next few days to see which has the better deal for preorder, I think kmart give you a Wii bag.

Now that Nintendo have sold over 1 million wiis, and that's not even from Australia I bet harvey norman (got a crap name too) regrets it now.

Harveys is one of the last places you'd go to buy games. You've got JB HiFi, Toys'r'US, Big W, Target, KMart, even Myre and of course EB. Oh and Games Wizards, Gamesmen and all the independents out there. Plus the online stores like DVD Crave and spectre world. I didn't even notice Harvey's didn't have the Wii.
