Finding Wii = Impossible

[wizz1e]

I spent the entire day today looking for a Nintendo Wii. I started off at the closest EB Games where they told me they have none but actually had and sold one earlier in the day. I then went to Walmart where they had none but I managed to pick up a Wii remote so I'd have an extra incase I do find the system. My spirits were high because I figured I'd find one for sure but after a trip to Costco, Circuit City, EBX, EB Games, Game Stop, and Saturday Matinee I was tired of driving around. Since we've been home my wife has called every Sears, KMart, Target, EB Games, Best Buy and Circuit City that comes back on Yahoo Local and notta one

This is how I found mine:

I think it will help as they were right on with shipment info for my area.

Still make sure you get there early enough on that morning.....

[Jon Liu]

Yeah, definitely go that route. It's a pretty reliable resource, Wiz!

If you absolutely can't find one let me know, there seem to be a few available in my area. If you cover shipping and maybe a couple bucks for my time I would be more than happy to grab one for ya.

Just hit all the Wal-Marts in you area on Sunday (today - 1/28) and the 24-hour stores starting now! Big shipment apparently. These updates are constantly available and confirmed, just not here for some reason.

Thanks a lot man; I checked this out last night and saw that Walmart was supposed to have a big shipment today and I happen to have a 24 hour Walmart down the street from me so at 11:45 last night I called and they said yes they do have them in stock now. I hauled ass to the store and got in line and was luckily number 20 out of 21 systems. So I am not a Wii owner and lovin it

So I am not a Wii owner and lovin it ...???? Did u mean NOW a Wii owner or not

[NuclearCujo]

Mad, I think its safe to say he got one since he was 20 out of 21.

My Fiance picked me up one today at Walmart. The thing is I have yet to open it because I am sitting here looking at it and thinking damn this $250 could pay for something for our wedding and do I really need another game system. Such a hard decision.

Ahh woundup you can send that right over here,got beat out last night at wallmart looked all day..........fricken nothing,my sons birthday is the 12th looks like i'm in A bad spot

[wizz1e]

Damn Pickle; sorry to hear that man. Hopefully you'll be able to pick one up at one place or another really soon.

I guess I'm lucky, per se. I am not a Wii owner yet (I will get one). I've just been waiting for costco to sell bundle unit. I remember around Xmas, I heard they were selling it with Zelda and Excite Truck. I assumed it comes with a second Wiimote and, hopefully, nunchuck.

If I get too anxious, I have a couple buddies who work at Target, and I know they can pick one up for me. It's how I got my Gamecube about two weeks after launch.

Well, I got the official go ahead from the girlfriend to purchase a Wii yesterday. We were having dinner with her family and I was talking with one of her brothers about how much the entire household enjoys it when Amy - my gf - announces "I've been trying to get Cory to get one."

So as I ask if she really wants to get one she says "yes, I think it would be fun."

Needless to say I stopped by Walmart and Target on the way in to work this a.m. - likely a day late - to find that there were none left.

All in due time.
