Yes. You goto the address book on your Wii under your mail tab, and when you add someone you put in the number and their Wii nickname. You'll see when you get one, and connect it to the internet.

TRU got another 3 today! Sold within the first 10 minutes. It's pretty barren here in Central New York. Utica (where I am located) and Syracuse to the west and Albany to the east also have nothing. I'm hoping that with the latest surge in LI, upstate new yorkers will see a big shipment too.

I found out that a local walmart took rainchecks. They've been lying to me the entire time, so I'm not going to bother calling them anymore. They lose my business.

Congrats to my fellow wii-less who are now wiieally happy.

Get it right kid!

I lived there for a portion of my life. The argument IN v. ON is tiresome.

But I didn't catch myself saying "in", apologies.

well today has been a happy day for me in the search for a Wii. I didn't get one sadly, but I did get to cash out that damn Best Buy gift card that was given to me so that means that I'm not locked into going there everyday. So if the Wii gods can shine some light upon me tomorrow a Wii will show up on my iTrackr account and I can go get one before a big ice storm hits on Friday and Saturday here in Kansas City. So everybody pray to the gods and wish me luck. I'll keep everyone posted oh and if I do find a Wii tomorrow I can give my iTrackr account to anyone who needs it.

DAng Dang Dang!! Gamestops in South SF Bay Area got shipments today. The one day that I couldn't check. Sold out now. Itrackr showed nothing. I usually drop by Target at opening and than call gamestop at lunch. Still in search for the Wii bird. Neighbor snagged one but was the last one other wise he would of picked one up for me. At least we can go play some Wii now.

Anyone here from Phoenix, AZ? I keep missing these shipments that come in. I've also noticed that Gamestops and EBGames get shipments on Tuesdays/Thursdays. Last Thursday, every single Gamestop and EBGames (8)around me got Wii shipments. I need help!

sorry if this has been posted, but this is a million times better than itrackr. It updates the night before so you know when to go in. this is for all target stores. i checked this last night and it said my local target had some in stock. this morning they did have some, but i was too late.

Go to the following URL (triple click):

Wii Console:
http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/...sin=B0009VXBAQ

Wiimote:
http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/...sin=B000IMWK2G

Nunchuck:
http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/...sin=B000IMYKQ0

Put in your Zip Code

You'll get a page which looks like it has no results;

In Internet Explorer, click "View" menu -> "Source" or in Firefox "View" menu -> "Page Source"; and look for the following Blocks (you'll have to scroll down a bit or do a 'search'; note I added the **** before the important lines)

tempData = new Array();
****tempData["storeName"] = trim("Bee Cave");
****tempData["itemAvailability"] = trim("Limited Availability");
tempData["storeId"] = trim("1812");
tempData["storePhone"] = trim("(512) 651-0094");
tempData["longitude"] = trim("-97.94974");
tempData["latitude"] = trim("30.31303");
tempData["distanceInMiles"] = trim("23.7678291565251");
tempData["PharmacyPhone"] = trim("(512) 651-0095");
tempData["PharmacyHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Sa: 9:00am to 6:00pm; Su: 9:00am to 6:00pm;");
tempData["StorePhone"] = trim("(512) 651-0094");
tempData["StoreHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 8:00am to 10:00pm; Sa: 8:00am to 10:00pm; Su: 8:00am to 9:00pm;");
tempData["PhotoPhone"] = trim("(512) 651-0094");
tempData["PhotoHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Sa: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Su: 10:00am to 8:00pm;");
tempData["country"] = trim("US");
tempData["city"] = trim("Bee Cave");
tempData["address1"] = trim("3702 Ranch Rd 620 S");
tempData["postalCode"] = trim("78738");
tempData["state"] = trim("TX");
tempData["address2"] = trim("");
window.top.dataArray[window.top.dataArray.length++] = tempData;
tempData = null;

tempData = new Array();
****tempData["storeName"] = trim("Austin SW");
****tempData["itemAvailability"] = trim("Available");
tempData["storeId"] = trim("1061");
tempData["storePhone"] = trim("(512) 892-5535");
tempData["longitude"] = trim("-97.828524");
tempData["latitude"] = trim("30.233724");
tempData["distanceInMiles"] = trim("23.5609737591443");
tempData["PharmacyPhone"] = trim("(512) 892-3753");
tempData["PharmacyHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Sa: 9:00am to 6:00pm; Su: 9:00am to 6:00pm;");
tempData["StorePhone"] = trim("(512) 892-5535");
tempData["StoreHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 8:00am to 10:00pm; Sa: 8:00am to 10:00pm; Su: 8:00am to 9:00pm;");
tempData["PhotoPhone"] = trim("(512) 892-5535");
tempData["PhotoHour"] = trim("M-Fr: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Sa: 9:00am to 9:00pm; Su: 10:00am to 8:00pm;");
tempData["country"] = trim("US");
tempData["city"] = trim("Austin");
tempData["address1"] = trim("5300 S Mo Pac Expy");
tempData["postalCode"] = trim("78749");
tempData["state"] = trim("TX");
tempData["address2"] = trim("");
window.top.dataArray[window.top.dataArray.length++] = tempData;
tempData = null;

The first **** line shows which store and the next shows whether it's Out of Stock or Available, etc. Good luck!

EDIT: It seems a number of people have had success using this, while some others have shown inventory where there was none. The term "Limited Availability" should probably just direct you to call the store. "Out of Stock" means out of stock and it seems a couple people are showing inventory but phone calls/visits to the store turn up no inventory. Use this as a good starting point and good luck!

once you get the page with all the coding, just press ctrl + F. then search for either your town of the word available. it'll have each store separated by paragraphs and will have all the information about it.

That's very neat. Anyone could just write up a script that could access that info easily so anyone could find out if their Target had Wiis in. o_O Suggesting someone do that.
