Wii Availability - Sunday, 1/21

The word on the street is that several major retailers including Target, BestBuy, Circuit City (use the $40 off coupon), & EB are holding the next and possibly significant Wii shipment for another Sunday release. This time on 1/21.

If you are still searching, good luck.

Great news!! Good luck to everyone searching. Makes sense since one of our distributers had tentative availability on the 17th (but then they pulled it )

I can confirm from two Targets I went to in the Michigan area. I was just looking for nunchucks, but they employees told me they are holding all of their Wii merchandise for this Sunday.

Good luck all, the system is well worth the wait!

Awesome! What time did the store open? What time did they hand out tickets?

Looked on Craigs List this morning, and the profiters were out in mass. Over 20 new Wii's listed today. $350 to $450!!! Bastards... My co-worker was at a Target at 6:15 am and was #32 in line. She did get one though, at retail.

Congrats Crank. It sounds like you were one of the lucky ones. There were a ton of Wii's sold today but a lot of people still went home empty handed.

True dat. It's good to see, overall though. Just because people want it, developers are more inclined to make games for it!
