I'd also like to point out that calling your local stores is a very poor idea.

#1: These stores get hundreds of of these calls, which must be obnoxious.
#2: Unless you are talking to the general manager, there have been many posts in this thread that indicate that your common retail person doesn't have a good idea WTF is going on. For example, at my local Best Buy I asked the same question (regarding Wii delivery method/times) to 3 different people, of which I got three completely different answers.

EDIT: The best alternative to calling is actually visiting stores as frequently as possible. The current search for a Wii is all good luck at this point. There isn't a science to it.

Tomorrow morning or noontime give them a call. If they have stock, then they'll replay we have Wiis.

Don't call them now.

so I got back from my target attempt. (3 flipping hours -_-) They said that shipments come at night or early afternoon, so I'm gonna go back at about 1-2.

Again, I have to disagree. One point I left out of my last point is that some stores have instructed their employees to lie about stock of Wiis. Someone who worked at Target posted this information a couple of days ago on this thread.

i just went to best buy in my area where they had ps3s...but no wii. so i visited circuit city, gamestop, target, game crazy, and toys r us. no wii

So what do you guys thuink is the safest thing to do on tuesday as in where to go and what time to go ?

I find it interseting that the target that I went to had 1 ps3, about 20 360s, and no wiis.

phoning stores is only extremely useful when you're going to camp out or something, and you just need to know if they're getting/got stock in

by the time you phone most of these stores, and they say they have it in stock, they'll be sold out

not to mention that a lot of the employees have conflicting info

I have finally decided that I would forget about Bestbuy because thats like 5 miles from my house. (I drive and I don't want to use that much gas) So I think I will just call EBgames until Tuesday and if they don't have them my mom said she would go to Target on Wed.

The guy at my local Target said that their truck was in a snow storm and couldn't make it, but he said they get shipments on Tuesday and put them out for Wednesday.

why do ppl even talk about the 360s that are in stock. they are VERY easy to find. if a store has a 360 in stock it has no releation to a wii or ps3. there is no intense demand for the 360 so it will be everywhere.

i phoned my local shop yesterday morning around 10am and they told me they had some in store so i went down and they said they had 12 and i got the first one WOOHOO!!

Stozy what store?!!

GAME - dunfermline

Oh....they dont have those in New York lol

I need to go to Best Buy...or Circuit City tommorow (Monday/Tuesday)

good luck

So if like best buy gets them on tuesday they wont sell them till wed. ?

I thought Walmart has wii today because I bought a wii classic controller in Walmart this morning.

it's pissing me off that i can find 50 ps3 in BB, 8 in Target, 4 in Walmart but not a single Wii in a 20 mile radius...im about to give up...

i wonder if you could call a local UPS store to find out what days they go where or a time schedule or something...or maybe it's supposed to be confidential....idk...just a thought...

tabitty i just found out that on 12/28 at 12:30 our target had wiis
