Can you change your zipcode on itrackr to include a Target that is a little more reliable? At this point I'm assuming that you'd be willing to drive a few miles more for a wii.

you can keep changing your zip code on itrackr but you just have to change it back when you want to go back to your location.

Does Best Buy usually get shipments like TRU or do they get them at night and put them out later?

PS3 and Zune both are 35 days too. The other items like the DS and the doll are like 18 and 14 days, but that might have been when they were added to Itrackr?

Next closest target store is an hour in either direction. Even if I were to leave immediately after the last class I work with that's 3:30 I would get there around 4:30.

It seems I'll just have to hope that wii status is reliable! Here's to hoping.

Itrackr doesn't know where you are physically located. I played around with my zip code until I found one that included the most local Targets and stayed with it. I'm in a city, so that's easier to do.

I would suggest checking out Target tomorrow to possibly clear up the rumors that "every" Target will get a Wii shipment for tomorrow. It seems Toys R' Us was Tuesday, I've seen from other Wii cases that many got their Wiis today from Wal-Mart, so it seems Wal-Mart was today. Here's to Target (possibly) beign tomorrow! By the time I'll be able to get to Target tomorrow, there will probably be no more Wiis, but good luck to all of you.

To my knowledge, no stores get them via their usual shipments. Everyone seems to get them from a carrier. For the Best Buys in my area, UPS seems to be the carrier of choice. But I haven't heard anybody having luck at BB this week.

So would I have more luck at the Target by my house?

I just want to point out the multiple people getting wii's at Targets today. It seems that some stores were selling what they got in today rather than holding for tomorrow. But Target opens earlier than most of the other stores, so it doesn't hurt to look!

Possibly. You might want to try other zipcodes in itrackr to see what other Targets near you look like (if you have any other ones near you).

i need advice

today (the 3rd) a handful of bestbuys in the chicago area (where i live) got wiis. I didnt get any but there is one store that is pretty close... i tracker said it last went out of stock just under a week ago which im guessing means it is updating when they get them... if they havent got them yet im guessing they got them tonight but are putting them out tomorow since most other chicago area ones had them today. What do you guys think? a good bet?
