Still on the Search for Wii?

mercinary · 12-28-2006, 04:23 PM

Update to my sad day...

Went out to another Target at 4:30 today (on my way home from work). Foiled again, as when I asked if any were in stock I was told that they sold out 2 minutes prior to that. That is TWICE in one day that I missed a Wii by virtually seconds. I shall try again tomorrow....

sora4126 · 12-28-2006, 04:26 PM

wait, where was this? cuz the targets i go to don't even know when they get them in stock.

mercinary · 12-28-2006, 04:27 PM

None of them know when they will get them in stock exactly. You just have to keep going to stores constantly...

P.S. I was in Western Mass.

sora4126 · 12-28-2006, 04:30 PM

well, don't they even know the day before though?

mercinary · 12-28-2006, 04:34 PM

No...FedEx delivers Wiis to Target (at least in my town) and the delivery time often ranges.

-Merc

Edit: Furthermore, they don't even know if a delivery is going to have any Wiis at all!

sora4126 · 12-28-2006, 04:40 PM

wow. That's dumb that they don't know what they're getting, cuz I want a Wii now. If only I had the money at that midnight release for Gamestop.>_>

mercinary · 12-28-2006, 04:42 PM

If you want a Wii now, you're going to have to start shopping around. My advice: Go to your local Target and Gamestop locations at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 1:00. Don't be obnoxious to the staff.

After several days of checking 2-3 stores daily for 7 days, I finally got one at a BestBuy in El Segundo, CA. It was my first visit to this store and I thought I should check it out during my lunch break just in case. I got there around 12:45p and I immediately saw someone carrying a wii so I ran to the video game section and there was one sitting by itself on a shelf not even locked up behind a glass cage like other stores. I could not believe my eyes. I thought it might say somewhere on the box "For display only" but it was a real console for sale. I was so happy I even bought a ds lite which they also had in stock. It made my day.

Thanks for all your tips.

sora4126 · 12-28-2006, 05:08 PM

congratulations got2jin, I hope you have as much fun with it, as I will when I get one.

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

my cousin whom lives in roanoke rapids NC decided he wanted one the day after christmas went to gamestop around 3 or 4 and they had like 4 in stock it wasnt even a problem and he hadnt even been searching (i too am envious even tho i already got one but it wasnt easy at all). Your best bet would be either keep checking the wiiseeker site or go to a small remote town nearby and check the walmart or EB or GS or whatever they have they are much more likely to have one in smaller podunk towns (Roanoke Rapids where my cousin lives is a small podunk town). Good Luck the search is well worth it!!

250 is without tax. Don't forget, you have to pay tax. In NC is 7% but I don't know how much in youe state.

sora4126 · 12-28-2006, 06:25 PM

well when i bought my gamecube it was about 4 dollars more, so i'm not anticipating much tax.

zeon: sorry that i don't know where everyone lives
