I was just looking at a Wal-Mart paper today.

Says they'll be selling 3 minimum on the 6th of December.

Quite frankly, this doesn't make sense? Why are you selling it? I work in Huntington, BTW.

Best Buy Sundy Dec. 3rd

Im guessing the best thing to do would be to just get outside of Best Buy really early on Sunday Dec. 3rd. Ive heard some things about places having Wii's on the 1st. Not sure about that, gonna chec that out as well. But MY guess is, is that the 3rd is gonna be the day.

Pretty sure. When i took a look on the Best Buy weekly ad thing, it said that they had 12 Wii's until Dec. 2nd. Which means once Dec. 3rd hits, they can put more up for sale for that week. In no way however is this a proven fact. Im merely making an assumption based on what ive noticed.

Okay well I am going to stick with my walmart. I know when they are going to have them in for sure!

Suck it up son, just cause you didnt think about doint it, dont come complaining to me. Just cause I know the average rich kid will scream till his lungs dont work unless he gets his Wii, dont get mad at me. There are some stupid people out there that will buy them for double the price. I got my own wii essentially free by doing this! Id highly recommend it if you can get an extra! I still have a PS3 sitting right next to me that ive yet to open cause im putting it up right before christmas when those spoiled brats will be screaming at their mommies to buy them one! Get a legg up on the competition, you can buy all the games you want by selling these things to these dumb parents!!! I hated those spoiled brats in school so now im taking advantage of them!


Oh yah hers a tidbit of info you guys might like: Walmart gets a 27% markup on all Nintendo WIi products Where they only make 3 to 4% on the Sony PS3 products. My inside man at walmart told me that yesterday, cool huh.

Okay, Wii Fans, I got one online!! I had to buy it from Wal-Mart.com's evil
empire. There is one "Customers Choice" (What did you expect, this is Wal=Mart!!) Buy the console and 8 games for $648 plus shipping and tax.
Half the games are good, half of them suck. I may leave the bad games in the box and exchange them when there are more in stock.

Since all the people named "Walton" are billionaires, I don't like them. Nevertheless, if you are persistent , Walmart will sell you the bundle online,
and they sporadically have some in stock. If you sign up for all the email alerts, you will eventually get an alert in the email. Buy it right then if you want it. You can check the "Buy it Now" box and with approval have 90 days to pay it off. On the 91st day, you will pay an extortion fee, so make certain you pay it off. My first choice would have been Amazon, Best Buy, or EB GAmes, but it's almost impossible to get one without sleeping in the parking lot. Good luck, and I hope "WII" all get one. As to the rip-off artists, and EBAY scammers, you don't them. Tell them to perform a rectal exam with their consoles. It is possible to get a WII online. It is definitely, not easy,
but persistence will pay off.

I don't think it's just Canada that has a shortage of Wiimotes and nun-chuks. Since the accessories first started to appear, I have not seen a single one of these for sale outside the ones that come with the Wii. I've seen a couple Classic Controllers, SD cards and point cards, but that's about it.

I'd like to get a spare to take back with me on Christmas break, so my sisters and I can play against each other on Wii sports.

You can always check the Saturday Pre-edition of the Sunday paper. Most big papers release an early edition of their Sunday paper on Saturday, which has all the ads in it. Last week I got my Wii because I checked the Sunday paper on Saturday and the Best Buy ad said they were going to have a minimum of 12 per store.

I spoke with Gamestop and Target today. Both said they should have some in stock tomorrow morning. Probably because they are side by side here in Athens GA. So, be sure to check your local Gamestop and Target tomorrow first thing! Good luck!
