Still on the Search for Wii?

miazng · 01-05-2007, 04:30 AM

WiiSeeker says Target will get a shipment 1/3~1/5. Does this mean target will not get a shipment on saturday the 6th? Its been 2 weeks and still no luck...

If they didn't get any shipments this week, you should definitely try tomorrow.

The problem is i have absolutely no idea. I just got off a 12 hour flight from beijing a few hours ago.

If anyone has any info on Wii's Around CA bay area, greatly appreciated!
I THINK Target got a shipment in yesterday.... it was either target or EBgames i called. Is it a good chance tomorrow there will be none? Today was totally nothing... right when i got back i started calling stores (haha yeah im a idiot, not that cool... but i want it!!) How come the East coast gets like... a gazzilion eleventy shipments and West coast is just leaking in..? Arent we closer to Japan?

Go to walmart either tommrow or next week they will be getting like 3 in every once in a while.

If you live in Northern VA I'd try EB Games inside Tysons Corner Mall in McLean VA tomorrow morning. It worked for me, just get there around 40 minutes before the store opens. They got 4 in today and they opened at 10 am. Itrackr was reporting they had them around 2-4 a.m. yesterday, and the site still shows that they have them.

jameswma · 01-05-2007, 05:40 AM

those in socal try eb games. i have a feeling they'll have them.

tomorrow morning?

i know a lot of people have had bad experiences with the itrackr. someone before complained that the itrackr said the store was in stock but when they called the person said they were not. well, i am here just to tell you guys itrackr is very accurate. i just got a wii 2 days ago and my itrackr sent me a text message literally 2 seconds from the time the truck arrived. i had already been waiting at the store but it was amazing how quickly the itrackr sent me the message. also, there were only 4 that came and while i was buying the last one, people were calling the electronics department asking whether the shipment came in and the worker kept answering no. so, the best way is to be at the store at the time or get there as fast as possible. good luck to everyone and continue searching.

I hate to be begging, but my parents (Namely my dad) don't trust the interwebs when it comes to paying money, so I can't get an itrackr account with alerts. If anyone would like to give me an account, or $2 (via paypal, email=superbiscuit@gmail.com) for itrackr, that would be most appreciated. ^^ Thanky!

Oh, and I can only go to one store tommorrow. What would be better, Target or Best Buy? Last week my target got a coupla wii's. And, as I have already said, I am in the Bay Area.

I would personally go to WalMart and Target primarily. You should still try Best Buy though, but first check out WalMart and Target.

I went to target at the eagle rock mall. I was pretty excited since I read target will get some 1/3-1/5 on this forum. I ask the guy working the floor and he said no shipment came in today and the last shipment was on 1/2. I was kinda dissappointed. I am going to check tomorrow and maybe walmart.

There is hole in my heart and it roughly the size of a white square box. I hope I can fill it tomorrow.

In the New England area most people have noted that targets have been "In-Stock" on itrackr for over a week now. Well, the guy at Target keeps telling me "It usually will be in the ad on sunday, so just check that to see if it will be here." That got me to wondering if, in response to people receiving information about shipments, they decided to hoard all of the past week's units until sunday when the ad comes out. That would explain why itrackr has had them in stock for aweek. Also, Best Buy is having a huge sale friday, saturday, and sunday. They were probably stocking up so as to have some in stock at least the first day of the sale (tomorrow). If that is the case, and they already have some possibly, I would recommend checking in the morning sunday for Target, and tomorrow for Best Buy. Let me know if my observations make sense.

Makes sense, but isn't true. You can get the weekend flyers early here (C.C., B.B. & Target):

None make mention of the Wii.

At least thats how it works in central ny. good luck guys.

Im in the Northeast and no Wii......

Im thinking this weekend.....and This is the 3rd day ive missed in a row, so before I accidentally drop out of school...I NEED TO GET ONE!!!

Kristi1696 · 01-05-2007, 01:52 PM

I just saw one pop up on my itrackr for an EBgames in NJ, so maybe they are coming around. I let chugs know about it and I'll keep an eye open throughout the day.

mackin · 01-05-2007, 01:55 PM

My experience with itrackr has not been good at all. It only shows two stores in my area (Lawrence, Kansas), EBGames and Target. The Target store has a status of "out of stock" which has not been updated in the last 37 days, but I know that store has been getting them in stock as I know of a friend who got one there just last week.

I still check http://www.techbargains.com/buywii.htm and http://www.ps3seeker.com/wii/ regularly and try to go by the local Target to check random shipments, but no luck yet.

itrackr only seems to work if your stores work with them. I also have one of those "dead" Targets around me that doesn't update for anything. Fortunately, I have other stores in the area that do update and have been very accurate for me. Is there another Target within driving distance from you that you could pick up in your itrackr by changing your zip code?

rynocerus · 01-05-2007, 02:09 PM

is it really true that best buy will have them this morning someone give me some info please before i drive all the way there and my wi tracker text messaging has never gone off
