Unfortunately I have to work, I cant sit around BB or Target waiting for the UPS shipments.
Not preordering a console was lunacy on my part.

Just called walmart right now. For all you West Coasters, check your Walmart today, I'm heading there right now to get one, they are receiving them like around 10-11 o'clock. Wish me good luck!

I am the proud new owner of a Wii!! Yay!
I was sick of calling BB, GS and Target this morning when I posted and getting the same old "we don't have any and don't know when we'll get more" answer. So I decided to call Walmart just for the heck of it (this was two hours ago). I asked when their next shipment was and the lady told me they had 8 now!! So I jumped up and my dad drove me on an almost-empty gas tank getting all the way out to Laurel, MD. They had 6 left when I got there so I claimed my Wii and hugged the woman who sold me one
If you're near Laurel, MD, call that Walmart NOW (1:20 EST) because they had 3 left when I and two men behind me purchased Wiis.

Success! I had all but given up on the day when I was headed to lunch and saw the UPS truck pull up in front of my local GameStop. Since they only ever get 2-3 at a time I figured it would not be the place to get one but I figured, what the hell, give it a shot. They actually got two in and I got the first one. Another guy who was in line at the time got the other one. Now I have to try to focus the rest of the day at work before I get to go home and set it up  .
Edit: I am in Pittsburgh BTW. I have been told that all EB Games/GameSpots in the area get theirs the same day so other area stores will probably get shipments today as well.

my local gamestop got in some wiis today. I called and asked to hold and the fag said he couldnt. I raced there only to find the last wii leaving as i pulled up. (i didnt know it was last one) I went in and asked and he laughed at me. I almost killed him.... nothing at target, walmart, gamecrazy or circuit city on my way home. although i just got a text message alert from iTrackr saying target has some now. I just called target and lady said no, said they only get shipments at night.... hmm..... not sure whether or not to try to make the trip.....

My local Wal-Mart got in a whole shipment of Wii's today (1/3/07). I already have one, but I was able to get two for my buddies. They were selling left and right, after I bought those two, there were only two left!
The PS3's continue to sit there for weeks...

GO GO GO!!! Go IMMEDIATELY! That woman sold you a line of BS. Target DOES NOT receive wii shipments at night! There are wii's at your Target!! I can only hope that your "offline" status means that you are at Target now..

I got mine at 11:30am. They had 3 left.
UPS got there around 11am. Make sure you ask the employee working in the electronics department. They had them in the back.

Tips:
1. If you call Target, don't talk to the operator. Ask the operator to transfer you to the electronics department. I made the mistake of asking the operator and they always say no.
2. Wait around the electronics department around 10:30am -12pm

Hey guys, i just tried to sign up for itrackr notifications for the $1.99 and it doesn't work with credit card or paypal. Is it common for it to not work like that? This is the first time I have tried to pay for it.
