Count me as another without a wii, but really determined to get one. Possibly tomorrow, if no, next week. The dude pisses me off though, when he says all walmarts had them in the cases in my area, the guy who works at my walmart didn't say a word, he'll be hearing from my mother. I'm at school, and can't drive, so i have no way of getting the wii on a school day. but it'd be nice to get it tomorrow or next week. Four day weekend next week. (:

I went to 13th street (I know your from Gainesville). The Archer Rd. Walmart sold out in minutes. I then drove to Ocala Super Walmart, and they had 5 wii's left. I then drove to Starke and they had 2.

I was trying to go by that too, but they had the wrong days. It was today. That is why I keep telling you to go to Walmart tomorrow if your walmart didn't get any yesterday or today. You will be surprised how many they get. Also, it isn't like Target. Some of these Walmarts had Wiis for 6 plus hours. By the way, PS3Seeker said the 8th and 9th for me.

The one I live near gets them overnight (I live in Salinas, CA). They're open at regular times (it's not a 24-hour store), and their stock comes in at night so they put them up on display in the morning. I don't know about other people's Walmarts, but I'd say your best bet is to go at opening time.

I tried Walmart this morning at 7 and they had none. Then I went to Target, stayed around for a couple hours, and finally one of the employees told me they're not getting any for the rest of the day. I'm going to do the same thing tomorrow.

Oh, and itrackr hasn't worked at all for me.

Make that 6 without a wii... I have been searching since the beginning of December...and have read this entire thread...

My chances are even lower b/c Spicka just has to live in the same effin city as me...lol...hopefully we'll both get one this month...

I checked Target and 3 EBgames/Gamestops in my area and came up empty handed and figured wth and decided to get on the Gamestop/EBgames list...so hopefully...no matter what...i will have a chance to get one...i just wonder how far down on the list i am...

And since i have school tomorrow...my dad is going to check Target b4 work and i'll just call around until i get a clue to where one might be...

I suppose I will give target a shot before work. My dad is willing to go in a little later than normal (still early though) to check out target at open. Otherwise it's tomorrows lunch break or nothing.

Alex___ you and I are getting them tomorrow.

make that seven that don't have a Wii, I've been searching ever since two weeks before Christmas and have been reading this post from around page fifty or so. I also am stuck at my Best Buy here in KC with a gift card and have been there everyday when they opened since Christmas and nothing. Hopefully tomorrow I will finally get my hands on a Wii, but as these past couple of weeks have been I don't think I'll be in any luck.

Hey wait i know this guy!
Hes that loser that everyone picks on kicks around cause hes so ****ing annoying. He spends all of his time in chat rooms trying to piss people off cause it makes him feel big even though we all know hes just sad cause he has a small cock. Sorry bout that buddy ill see you in school next time im kicking your ass. Gratz on getting a wii but dont bother buying an extra controller cause you'll be sitting by yourself cause no one wants to be near you. Enjoy touching your wii all by yourself your the only one who will (pun intended).

Umm, I actually have a wii. But instead of coming here and taunting people that don't have one yet, I prefer to try to help them find one considering they helped me.

Man that guy is annoying. I try to ignore him, but somehow I eventually can't help responding!
