After some careful sleuthing it seems weekends are out of the question for wiihunters. It appears UPS does not deliver on saturdays. We know FEDEX doesn't either. HOWEVER, DHL does make saturday deliveries in "most major cities" and can provide delivery is special arrangements are met.

If Nintendo is moving Wiis via DHL then today might be an option; however, you might have to wait until Monday.

It seems a little more sleuthing and I discovered UPS saturday shipping for businesses. It seems real expensive though so I'm not sure if Nintendo would go this route but there is a little hope for today! Happy Hunting.

Saturdays & Sundays do seem to be pretty sparse, which sticks for us M-F 9-5 workers...

I'm hoping today might work out as Monday would shift shipping over a day, hopefully for my area. Also since yesterday was such a bust, today might be the day to make up for that.

BTW, I live in the South Bay Area, CA. So since it's on the other side of the country, I won't be making any trips to the Nintendo World Store which makes Ebay a considerable option. *sigh*

I live in Philly and there are currently 28 people in my area tracking the wii (and I figured a ton that would be camping stores in my area). Yet, when I waited at the TRU that I go my wii at (on Wednesday), I was the only person there. Besides myself, only 2 other people came in to ask the 1hr and change that I was waiting. I was really surprised! Afterwards we went around looking for an extra nunchuk and I announced to everyone at Target, GameStop, and EBgames that a wii shipment was at TRU...nobody cared!! I was looking at everybody, totally shocked, thinking "how is it possible that your life does not revolve around getting a wii?"

In that case, try TRU. DHL seems to be the carrier of choice for TRU.

(Thank you Mr. DHL man who delivered my wii and who I frightened by going up to and asking if you were delivering anything from Nintendo and getting all giddy-stupid on you when you said 'yes')

is there any truth to tru havin wiis today in ny let me know if anyone heard that and do shipments to gamespot happen same day each week or is it all random

mercinary · 01-06-2007, 03:51 PM

My local TRU told me last weekend that they don't get shipments on Saturdays...

Hit Target at opening with a few others in line - and again they got nothing. Thought about the ebay route - yesterday about 15 new ebay Wii for sale showed up on wiiseeker. So figure some stores got them in since more are now available via ebay.

FYI - for your reading enjoyment written by my 7th grader for school before school break.

M M O R P G, M M O R P G, M M O R P G
Is one of my favorite acronym see

That’s Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game
Playstation and Gamecube are just not the same.

Your internet access must be high speed
Otherwise it’s like being stuck in the weeds

It’s being played from Beijing to Boston
From Amsterdam to Austin

Some like World of Warcraft, others like Fly For Fun
Me I am into Runescape where there are no guns

Yeah it’s not the best on screen
But it’s one of the longest that’s been seen

Originally they were free
But now many charge a fee

I battle monsters, hunt for treasure and go on quests
When I’ve played too long my parents tell me to give it a rest

I have made new cyber friends playing online
I know I will never see them - which is fine

M M O R P G is here to stay
Even though you have to pay

Now there is the new PS3
Which has awesome graphics to see

The holidays are coming soon
And I just don’t want a gadget to play a tune

I wanted to move around and not press keys
I really hope my holiday gift is a Wii!!

(Still searching for that Holiday gift)

Bryan_ · 01-06-2007, 05:03 PM

I call thirteen places every morning; wal-marts, eb games, gamestop, sam's club.. etc

I called CompUSA and the lady said they are getting Wiis on monday. I am in Huntsville, Alabama btw.

If I do not get one Monday, to eBay I go. Unless someone here can sell me one.

NorCal Wii · 01-06-2007, 05:12 PM

Thanks for sharing the poem. Talented child! & Thanks for saving me a trip to Target this morning. I might check around the stores later today.

Complaint: ITrackr needs to update their system and let you search other zip codes without deactivating all the stores your tracking. This morning I can't seem to find the "save these stores" button after tediously searching several zip codes. A mile range search would be nice too.

xraffyx · 01-06-2007, 05:16 PM

so is anyone having any luck this Saturday morning?, i'ved called walmart TRU and target, with no luck

rascal00 · 01-06-2007, 05:26 PM

For Arizona People, The Walmart Supercenter on Elliot and Priest got in about 40 Wiis yesterday and sold out, I was there probably 4 or 5 times and didn't get one due to being at work so they probably came in around 3 PM. The Walmart on 36th and Thomas also got 7 in the morning.

sigh

ive not had any luck this morning... checked...

BB (1) at opening no luck
CC (1) at opening no luck
BB (2) nope
CC (2) no
Target (1) nope
TRU (1) he said no but they usually get one once a week and it comes in the morning

i also called walmart twice and 3 gamestops twice each with no luck.

its a sad morning here in Chicago

supertman · 01-06-2007, 06:24 PM

2 targets in my vicinity had wiis this morning and i missed them both because they open at 8 and i woke up at 850. i am sad....but itrackr really does work...for targets at least. eb games and gamestop is delayed so it is unreliable. but it is very accurate for target. ah so close yet so far

Link87 · 01-06-2007, 06:58 PM

>> Apparently Limited Too's in my area have Wiis...or HAD them, I plan on checking.

But I find it wierd because Limited Too sells Clothes, and some girly things..

Da_Magic_Mushroom_Of_Doom · 01-06-2007, 06:58 PM

Hey, im new to this site and ive pre-ordered a wii from HMV but unfortunetly it has not come for christmas. I was just wondering if there is any places in the uk that will be in stock soon. I know Gamesation wont pre-order any till they get more in stock, all my mates got theirs from there so i was wondering can anyone tell me and websites that i can trust (meaning not ebay). Thanks.

And does anyone know how to change my main name? Or tell me someone who can. Thanks

spicka · 01-06-2007, 07:02 PM

Link i saw online at wiis site that they sold them there, so i went there and they looked at me like i was a complete retard
