hey guys,

i just wanted to post on here and let you know the walmarts in the new orleans area recieved a shipment in last night... and so did some of the EB games around the area... we picked up a few... couldn't post this earlier because after i bought the system went to watch the lsu game (GEAUX TIGERS)..

but also to let you know about my search, i woke up 9am got ready and left for walmart, gamestop, knart, target, eb games, rhino games, eb games, circuit city, bestbuy only to find that i had miss a shipment at one of the eb games and was sold out... being discouraged i was on the way home and my friend calls me at 5pm and tells walmart just got their shipment and so did a couple of eb games/gamestop.... so there ya have it..

That's one of the first times I've heard of itrackr working for an EBgames/GameStop...CONGRATS!!

I would camp at an EBgames or GameStop. TRU's in Philly got their shipments on Tuesday and TRU has probably already gotten its shipments for the day. Perhaps you can call over there on your way to EBgames/Gamestop?

It's almost as if NYC is being punished for all of those wii's that Nintendo World store got.

My TRU got shipments TUesday...I was there tuesday....staring at the Wii display from 10-1130.......WTF MAN!!!

My target still hasnt gotten any...neither has Circuit City and BEst Buy...or Gamestop....

Gamestop.com has a bundle with 6 games and an extra controller for around 680....Im on the verge of ordering that..... I have to go back to school eventually lol!!

So what happened with TRU then? How did you not end up with one? Was the shipment later or did you not realize that it had come? That really sucks. Just keep in mind that those bundles won't ship until the 17th, at the earliest. How far are you able to travel? You might consider setting up multiple itrackr accounts with zipcodes all up and down LI.

I left to go to school (lol) at 1130....so I guess they came in right after then..But I went back at 345 and they said they didnt get any in that day. So i go back today and the lady (she knows me by now) was like so did u catch the Tuesday shipment and i was like WTF!!?!!

I have 2 different Zipcodes...and none have stock. Ill probably go 40 mi out of the area because I get lost VERY EASILY lol....there is no way my parents will drive up and down for a game system. I rather wait until the 17th then continue to get lied to at the stores

This lady at TRU, would she be willing to help you out (although it's hard to say when TRU will get more shipments).

Have you been watching this site: http://www.xpbargains.com/wii_locator.php

They've had some activity today, and you can get alerts through them too. And do you think there's any chance that Nintendo World Store will get more? It would be a cheap trip on the LIRR.

Also, though I don't really support ebaying of wii's, that hockeyguy's auction ends within a few hours.

hockeydude68 · 01-04-2007, 05:50 PM

yea, i dont like auctions and ebay stuff but I am a little low on money for wii games and controllers that is why i did it. oh well, but it is pretty cheap right now. I cant find a wiimote anywhere. tis is crazy, i have never had this problem before.... lol

bamajeep · 01-04-2007, 05:56 PM

checked back at Target and BB around 12. Both said they didn't receive any today. Finally found a helpful BB employee that said they get theirs on UPS at 10 every day and take them right to the shelves. So at opening is the best time for them, at least in this area.

rascal00 · 01-04-2007, 06:00 PM

Arizona People:
Went to Toys'R'Us and Bestbuy around 10:00 AM on I-10 and Ray with no Wiis in stock.

Also went to EB Games at 10:30 AM at Elliot and Priest and they didn't have any.

hockeydude68 · 01-04-2007, 06:06 PM

i can buy wiis for anyone right now. the target next to my house just got a bunch. $320 + shipping. pm for details

Yah I have it as my homepage on REfresh thing....I missed the circuit city on cuz I was busy checking that damn Toys R US

Oh and Kmart had 25 on like monday....and the Nintendo Rep was there an said that they increased productivity by 35% and they still cant keep the stores filled with Wiis. Im really looking at that gamestop one lol

The only places that havent had shipments this week are Target...BEst Buy...Circuit City and Gamestop (well target had ONE on NYears Day)
