Hello, to all.
Pretty much was in the same boat with all of you trying to find a Wii, but today my family dropped off my brother at the airport and I went out to search, again, for a Wii(with no luck) I called them when I got home and my mom said she saw a line at Best Buy. So they turned around and check it out. Best Buy had 21 Wii and when they got in the only had 3 left. But I'm suprised they actually got one.
I was feeling quite alone in my search for a Wii.
So, I am so thankful they stopped and got one. Yay! I'm excited!
Good luck to everyone who is still trying to find one! 
Oh, BTW. I live in Central Minnesota. The Best Buy was in Maple Grove.

Are you near the Roseville Area? that's where I am and I've been trying to find one. Do you know if any best buys around here sold them yesterday. I'm kinda worried that they did and that was the shipment they were supposed to sell on the 31st.

Wow, this information is very reliable. Thanks everyone who is giving valuable information for me to find my wii. Tomorrow I think I'm going to hit up Target at 10-11, then if no luck. I will hit up at EB and Gamestop around noonish. My dad better take me to Target first! lol.
I can't drive and I don't know if he's willing to take me to both places considering they are a whiles away. But not that far. Ones in Archer area, the others in Newberry.

Still Need Help.....
I've been reading the last 20 pages from this thread and alot of them have been very resourceful..I just haven't been at the right place at the right time (calling too early and getting there too late). I was wondering if any of you guys also saw Nintendo DS Lites as I would be satisfied with just a new Black one. Did any of you happen to see DS in the same time as Wii's? Thanks for the help. I'm gonna follow all of your advices and go to target/EB around 10 in da morn.

Guys:
You keep hitting the site, and it is going to stay down. Picture thousands of people continually hitting the site. It has been down since we started talking about it here ~2 hours ago. Give it a rest at getting into the site and it will come back online.

I understand. But you think everyone is going to listen. When all they want is their wii, and that site has been successful for some. I'm just going to try my luck. But some are really desperate, no?

I got the last wii at Target(North Attleboro MA) today. It was 1 and i dont know when they got them in or how many. I was actually on my way to go camp out at gamestop and I said to myself "why not stop in?"
The guy who rang it up for me was actually the same guy who told me before xmas that they wouldnt be getting anymore till after new years 
Time to play Zelda TP

are you sure about a black one? I was also very excited about getting a black, but after 2 hours I ended up returning it and getting a white one instead. The black one looks good as long as you don't touch it, lol. gets dirty WAY too fast.

Hey I just wanted to say to all who are venturing out for the Wii that you all bring one home. I 2 am in the same situation, as i am without a Wii. I am heading to Bestbuy tomorrow and I wish everyone good luck. ( I wont be able to play for a long time though, as I am going out at 1030 and not returning home until 7. I'll have to catch up my Wii time at night......hopefully  )

Hey, Anyone know about the wii situation in North Carolina? It feels like i have been searching forever  Today i went to toys r us and i was extremely close to getting one it was 11:30 ish and the lady said they sold out like 10 minutes b4 i got there. Im going to check there again tomorrow because i heard that they would be getting 28 of um in on yahoo awnsers. I hope i get lucky. Also everywhere i have asked (bestbuy, gamestop, target) they say they never know when the wii will come in and that it omes in on a different truck than their normall stuff but it seems like some of the employees know when they will come in....odd
