Oh dear. It seems rip-off Britain is alive and well. At least it is when it comes to the must-have game of the year, the computerised home gym system for the Nintendo Wii console, Wii Fit.
The trouble is, there isn't nearly enough supply to meet the demand, a situation that brings out the worst of the scammers and the touts. Buy it now on Amazon.co.uk and you'll pay around £150 for a new one, that's more than double you might expect to pay from a reputable High Street store.
So what can you do? Well, wait. Go for a walk, go for a run, get fit the old fashioned free way.
If you can't do that because having stuff is more important that commonsense, why not buy it from Amazon France? The average French person is too busy eating to worry about jumping up and down in front of the telly and as a result Wii Fit has been in stock long after it sold out here. You'll pay 88 euros, which is about £70 with delivery another £5ish. Stock was due this week on 25 June, although now it is advertising a slightly more vague, delivery within one or two weeks. Find it here.
I've bought plenty of stuff from the french Amazon site and never had a problem. The Wii games work here just the same and if you're worried about the language read this guide:
