alright, heres my plan:
call walmart (they seem to get shipments during the lunch hours on weekdays) and ebgames like at 12,1,2 and maybe even target...i just have a feeling (that doesnt mean anything tho ) that ill get on at walmart monday, tuesday or at the latest on wed...last wed was the last shipment, so there you go..maybe its a weekly thing.

first post here.. i been following the wii on updated on shipment for 2 weeks. and soon to be a wii owner.. this week looks good for the wii shipment.. most targets should be getting them near daily out here in cali. lots of target got some shipments of wii today.. i didnt expect them to have it on a sunday so i wasnt ready. i just check itrackr and it seems like they already got some late night shipments in some targets already. i think target is the main store for wiis out here they are getting more and frequent shipments.

The NE (Delaware Valley) still continues to be a "Wii" wasteland. Target didn't get anything, my local EBGames is still waiting for a shipment of 3 , nothing at WalMart, nothing at TRU, certainly nothing at BB and nothing at CC. itrackr has been silent now for 2 weeks here. *sigh*

I checked Itrackr yesterday morning and it said that a Target somewhat close to my house had some Wii's in stock. I got there at around 9:20, and there were two Wii's left. The crazy thing is, the store had opened at 8:00, and they had sold 10 Wii's even before I got there. My advice is if you really want to find a Wii, be sure to use Itrackr (it really works), and to go to stores within the first hour they open.

Anyone had luck in NYC today? I checked NintendoWorld this morning and they hadn't gotten any in for today (although I was told that they had some over the weekend).

Similarly, BestBuy and Target both had none (checked Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan).

Ok, how much exacly is a Wii in the US?
Its said in websites like megagames.com that its retail price is us$250,00. Does it really cost that? Because in playasia.com it's us$400 for the jap version (they dont have the american version).

Anyone know of any site that might sell it for this price and maybe have some sort of queue system so we can order it and wait for it to become available?

Thanks in advance.

(sorry if it's been asked before, but i've read like 20 pages of this thread and several other threads and searched google and everything... I just cant get my mouse on "buy it now: $affordable$ wii" button (if ya know what I mean)).
Thanks again!

No luck today, tried target, CC, Walmart, and TRU.... Northern Virginia seems to be barren of wii's. I think they are going to run a sunday ad this week maybe...at least I can only hope.

If you find on in a store then is is the MSRP of $249.99.

There have been some bundles, but they have generally been at or a little under MSRP for the total items.

Good luck finding one in a store, that's what everyone else here is trying to do!

If you want one sooner, then E-bay looks to be running around the $360 mark now - a mere $100 plus shipping over MSRP. Or you can get really scalped at Amazon.com where they are $522.99 and up. A great deal at $177+ over MSRP. (But not necessarily a great deal for you!)

Whew, glad it rained today, which made me decide not to camp at 7:00 or so. That would have sucked. So far, no luck here, though I haven't gone out yet. iTrackr is doing its usual thing; the area's most recent Target update was **9 DAYS AGO**, with the other 3 at 11 days. Circuit City 3 days, and EB/GameStop you can't rely on. Ohhh iTrackr....

I might give a look around later on, make some calls. I'm not getting my hopes up. This is really really difficult...
