Still on the Search for Wii?

bamajeep · 01-09-2007, 07:35 PM

my Target is one of the "dead" ones on itrackr. I tried anyway around 8:45 this morning hoping that we might have gotten some. No luck though.

edit: I just checked again, and it finally updated for the ps3, so maybe Target will get on board for the wii too. (or maybe they really haven't gotten any in the last 41 days

)

Fairlakes TRU, gets them on Tuesdays around 11 o'clock by DHL. I believe they got 6 in, 3 of which were bought once I left. Be warned though, they made me buy the extended protedtion plan for 39.99.

Now i just have to wait for all the updates to finish

Awesome, congrats vagabond! Now what are the odds they'll have one left when I get off work tonight?

Yeah, I know...

ZMAN

Also have wireless with cable modem. Not sure why some are slower than others. Perhaps it's our relative patience levels. lol

I got Zelda, but I'm trying to hold off on it so I don't completely waste my days.

p.s. this post straight from my wii.

p.p.s. I may not need my itrackr anymore, will post later about giving it up

Did anyone notice the TRU package deal that was available on their website for about three minutes last night? It was something like $529 and it had several games we wanted, the rest can go on eBay or something. We managed to snag one so we're excited. It was a fingernail biting time because their website was swamped and our confirmation email didn't arrive for hours. I still have a fresh itrackr login so if anyone needs it PM me and it's yours! We're also still on the lookout for "naked" Wiis since our local stores are all getting shipments in the next few days. I won't sell them on eBay for a profit because that seems to take away from the spirit of the Wii. Any system I find can be had for retail plus shipping. Sound fair?

Don't bother - it looks like a scam site, not actually something useful.

Well i actually today just started looking at this forum. Read about all of the articles in Still searching for a Wii. It gave me a lot of hope in finding one for myself. So after calling my eb games store 2 times today (both times told me they were expecting shipments sometime next week), i called a 3rd time around 2:30pm and the clerk told me they had a few instock. Must have been an afternoon UPS delivery. Anyways good luck to everyone else searching for their Wii! BTW i live on Cape Cod in MA.

irGator · 01-09-2007, 08:41 PM

Way to go, enjoy it!

irGator · 01-09-2007, 08:47 PM

Ok, researching there are 3 rumors right now going on for BB. This sunday, MLK day, or the 21st. People have been reporting all days so i guess the best thing to do is to go by the store the night before see if ppl are there, and if not wake up at 6, and look in the local paper for there ad.

Psycho1820 · 01-09-2007, 08:50 PM

Congrats SoCute!!!!!! It's about time the Wii Gods smiled upon you. Enjoy playing rather than searching.
