Official 'I got a Wii' thread

[Jersey_Mom]

After a relatively short quest, I got my Wii this week. I had subscribed to all the Wii trackers I could find, and came close a few times to getting a Wii online (but was never quite fast enough to seal the deal before stock ran out). The online dry spell over the last couple of weeks was getting me frustrated. Ultimately, I got a Wii at the local Game Crazy store. I had taken to calling the local stores and asking if they had any Wii systems. They kept saying not until February, but I kept calling anyway. Persistence paid off when the clerk finally said they had some. I jumped in the car, drove to the store, and now my family is the proud owner of Wii. The icing on the cake is that Game Crazy gives you 12 free game rentals when you buy a system.

Hey hey first post . Anyways I totally got lucky with my Wii. I didn't have to wait in a line or anything like that. I had no intentions on getting a wii until the craze died down a little bit. So the other day (friday) I was just messing around on Bestbuy.ca and said hell lets just check to see if they had any by chance. To my surprise they had 85 in stock so I totally jumped on that and got myself one. By the time I was done with the checkout they were all gone. Guess it was my lucky day. Can't wait till I get it in the mail.

I purchased mine Friday January 11, 2008. I usually walk in Eb games and ask to play there Wii but on Friday the employees ran up to me and said hey i have one if you want and the rest is history. I didn't come with a stand for the sensor bar or the Wii itself but hey who cares.

It didn't come with the Wii itself?!?!

Wow, 12 free rentals! Like they need to throw in any incentive to convince you to buy the Wii! Nice Find!

yeah I got mine just before Christmas too, but I had to wait in line 4 hours to get it. About 10 people who showed up and waited didn't get one. When I walked out with mine they all had these aggravated looks on their faces lol.
