I walked in, asked the guy, he told me they just got in a big shipment and to go to the register to ask. Everyone going into that store was walking out with a Wii, it was as if the supply in the back was endless. I asked how many they got but he wouldn't tell me, he just said "Don't worry about it, go get your Wii." I pinched myself because I thought I was dreaming.

Bought the system and now I've been playing and enjoying this incredible machine. Finally, I can get more than 3 hours of sleep per night now..or maybe not.

This was an EB Games in Northern NJ for anyone that needs the info.

Great! I'm glad to hear that you got your wii! I was hoping that your absence from the board tonight meant that you were busy doing something more important!

Haha thanks, yeah I finally got it to work on the wireless internet so now I'm just waiting for it to update itself.

If you don't mind my asking, who is your wireless provider? We have Comcast and have been having a hard time setting it up with our wireless, so we've been stealing from a neighbor.

Any action today in socal LA area? i visited all of the electronics stores in my city again and i swear i called every single target and walmart in LA county and heard different stories from each place but not one place had a wii. I even called the COMPTON circuit city. Nothing.

I also went to my TRU today and they were completely out of everything. EVERYTHING. No gaming systems AT ALL. I found that quite odd. Not even a gamecube or ps2. I read san diego a few times the last few days getting wii action but any action in LA area?

West Coast will probably be more active tomorrow. Did you read above about the Targets in SoCal? Good luck!

What is going down in the center of America as in OKLAHOMA can someone update me on this area ?

xjoshuwaa · 01-04-2007, 04:58 AM

Hopefully the West Coast is getting more Wii action tomorrow. My local Walmart told me they haven't received a shipment since before Christmas so, I am almost positive that my Walmart will have Wii's tomorrow, and maybe even EB and Gamestop

Because they are evil. I've been looking since the November 20. I've had so many chances to go and grab the Wii but I'm still empty handed. But I still remain patient cause I KNOW I'm going to get my hands on one by the end of January.

Where in NoVA, Brandon? I'm in Ashburn and have been checking Leesburg to Reston...

irGator · 01-04-2007, 05:48 AM

Is anyone here from Miami?

davidu · 01-04-2007, 05:50 AM

According to ps3seeker.com/wii/ shipments for target are coming in 1/3-1/5! So from what I understand, shipments come in around 11-1?

I thought I'd let you guys know how I finally got my hands on a Wii(It's fun as hell by the way). I searched the well known Itrackr, of course I didn't pay anything, and saw 3 stores with In Stock listed as current inventory. By the way, I live in Chicago.

I called the store closest to my work(a Target) and the kid in electronics said they were sold out. I thought maybe he was BS'ing me so I drove there right after getting off work at 6:00PM. I first asked the employee if they had any Wiis and that same kid told me they were sold out earlier.

I decided to go by the case where they have Wiis setup and low and behold, I see at least 8 Wiis sitting, waiting to be purchased. I show the Target employee and he said, "Where did those come from?" Just thought I'd share that with everyone, hoping they check the stores personally and get lucky as I did. Good luck searching everyone.

Well my local target said they receive there shipment overnight and put them out in the morning.
