the easiest way for sony to make a profit is to buy nintendo and use their ps3 factories to make wiis!

He's not asking for help. He's still being an ass and STILL NOT PLAYING HIS WII!
You're from Canada right? Whereabouts? Which stores up there carry them? My boyfriend is Canadian and it would be great if we could enlist his mom in the wiihunt!

I apreciate it! All the ones I know of are Microplay, Eb, TRU, BB, FS,Walmart, Zellers, and The Source (thats the canadian version of circuit city). Those are the big names in my area. I'm looking for the next possible date that they would be available.

How itrackr logs the update is unclear to me. For example, a Target in my area was reported to have a DS Lite a few hours ago and had the orange clock thing going on. Yet when I checked the wii status for that Target, it didn't have an orange clock next to the "Not In Stock" status. Why? That Target had obviously updated its inventory. What I suspect is that the clock only turns once something comes into stock. If the item isn't in stock, the clock will stay gray even though the inventory had been updated. That's just my theory.

IMO Itrackr isn't really a good thing to use for me. I would just go around and call the stores or just visit the stores and ask them.

Whenever I call, I get hung up on. Too many people call I guess. My local FS unplugged the phones in the gaming section.

I dunno, I'm kind of starting to think that you don't actually have a Wii. Because if I had a Wii I wouldn't be spending my time being a dickhole on a Nintendo forum  .
Anyway, I have been trying for over a month now to get a Wii. I live in the southern New Hampshire area and EVERY SINGLE PLACE I call says they don't have any in stock and they don't know when. When stores around here finally do get some in stock they sell out in a matter of minutes. As I've said to others I am not willing to wait outside hours before a store opens unless I am GUARENTEED a Wii.
My friend has been lucky enough to not only get two Wiis, but a PS3 as well  (
He didn't even look, either. He just walked into gamestop and target and they just had them.
I don't have that kind of lucky...
But does anyone know what stores around here (I live close to Newington, Somersworth, Portsmouth, Concord,etc) will be getting shipments and when?
I keep hearing "I don't knows" and "After the new year".
It's very frustrating to search for this thing!

Walnut Creek, East Bay. They were playing dumb, which confirms that it's tomorrow at that one. So I'm definitely leaving to go there ASAP.

I'd like to throw a bit of a warning your way:
The universe seeks balance; you'll get yours.
Karma is a bitch, in other words.
It's not too late, though. Grow up and quit being an ass and you might not get ground into the universal tit.

Do you have an idea of when they were last available in your area? (if they ever were) So far for Philly it looks like the shipments are about once a week.

In San Diego, BB received shipments on the 28th and Target received shipments received shipments on the 29th. I'm not so sure about CC, but I think Walmart in my area might have some tomorrow so I'm going to try there.

Any idea for the other stores? How were they delivered to BB?
Like I said above somewhere, for Philly all the stores got shipments last Tuesday/Wednesday. It would be interesting to see if the same sort of thing happened in your area and could give you a clue whether or not you should hang around stores on a particular day or whether you need to roam randomly from store to store.

lol. This is what I need to find out. There always seems to be people who know when the purolator guys get there. I wish I could get into the loop.

I'm going tomorrow to BB, Target, and TRU. I understand theres a chance they aren't selling them tomorrow, but i will try. i will try again tuesday, since that seems to be a shipping date. My mother works at Walmart so she gets a headstart tuesday hopefully. Maybe monday if they get any in. Maybe i'll get lucky and snag one; who knows? It'd be the end of one of the hardest searches i've ever done. A well accomplishment.

I agree. I'd hang the packaging over my mantle as a trophy of accomplishments.

Umm, yeah. You obviously don't have a Wii. Since if you did, then you'd be playing it instead of pissing off people who are better than you.
Now go out somewhere and find a different way to compensate for your dick the size of a peanut.

That was the same thing here, except slightly shifted. Best Buy got them and sold them on the 27th and Target sold theirs on the 28th (unsure of if they got them on the 27th or 28th).
