Anyone in the Hampton/Newport News area of Virginia have any Wii news by any chance....
If not I plan on going by Best Buy around 9 or 10 Sat. night (12 hours should be enough right?) and seeing if anyone is camping.

Ok you know all that postive stuff I wrote earlier?

Forget it.

I am so depressed.

Went to two cities this morning: 2 Targets (one right at opening time), 1 walmart (went back there twice), 2 different EB Games/Game Stops, 1 Circuit City, 1 Frys, 1 CompUSA, and 1 Toys r Us which told me they got their last shipment last night and sold them all out!!!!!!

I just got me a Wii! Wiiiiiiii!!
I found it @ Target in Falls Church.
They still have about 5 left, but that was about 45 Minutes Ago.

5115 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA. Its on the right hand side of Route 7 East. Just after the Toys R Us.

Thanks everybody

My local target (western massachusetts) had 8 on wednesday and 8 today (thursday) They open at 8am and were sold out by 10am, I arrived at 10am (of course ) Right next tot he target was a best buy, as they opened the gates - I asked the first guy I saw if they had a wii, he said they might (thats the closest I ever got) he told me to go to Media, I did and they said yep, they had them in - they went out back for a couple minutes and came back out and said they must be out front, by this time people were sprinting through the store. We got out front to find out that they had 10 in stock, I got one!!!!!

They had 2 in stock as of 1pm. They are getting easier to get guys - good luck


Thank you wiichat.com the contacts I made here got me the wii.

I will keep up and if I here anything i will write back!


I would love to see a video of people running thru the store trying to nab a Wii, lol . Then again if that was me, I'm sure I would've cracked some skulls in order to get it. haha

When I recevied the sms and went down to target. The staffs don't know they have wii. I went to the manager and ask him and he said they they have some. I wait for 15 mins, they open the boxes and put 7 on the rack.

They for the seeker might not be the staff. If itrackr tell you 1 hr ago. you go now and might have a chance to get one. Or call them first to make sure they have.
