hey spicka, so did you just call them and say you were on the list and that they sent you an email about tomorrow then they said that they are getting them in tomorrow for you to pick up? i wonder if they will put some out on the shelves if they don't keep them for all the people on the list...

i'm just wondering if i can get one a lil early since idk exactly where i am on the list... but i can wait a lil longer...

by the way...Congrats!!!

EDIT: And did they say what time they will be available for you/your dad to get it?

Hey, i live in DC/Nova and just got my Wii today from TRU in Fairlakes. I think other than TRU, EB/Gamestop no one has gotten any. I'll keep an eye out though

Uhm, anyone know when they ship to Walmart, usually. My mother's walmart hasn't been having much luck. NONE today, whatsoever. Maybe tomorrow, possibly Thursday.

And then Best Buy Monday? As, I'm hearing; but far as I know, I'd have to call to confirm and they wont tell me squat. blahblah i just want my wii. i'm tired of waiting and waiting. i think a month is enough. maybe i should hold off. i have bad luck; living in a small place that doesn't get nothing.. it's crazyy. maybe it's cause im in school and i can't take a break from it like people at work. I dont know, i feel i'm done. :|

i'm seriously done after this week, monday. but i'm so determined to get the wii, i dont think i can quit till i finally have one in my hand ready to play. srsly, this is the most frustrating thing i've done, and has been quite an adventure, thanks to this site; it's been more easy but.. not quite possible.

Here is the Target "thing"

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!

I live in Gainesville, Florida. Hmph, I don't think I'm in such luck though, because it's in Ortega? I don't know where that is, neither have I heard of it, lol. So, I'll keep checking that site though, everynight. Seeing if the Target near by will recieve wiis anytime soon. I have to stick with walmart at the time though, because I have school and it's my only chance. Sucks to depend on a 24hr store.

Anyone cross checked this, or the Circuit City and CompUSA links, with itrackr?

The links are straight from the horse's mouth as it were, but that Target one is a dog to use. (Bring up the source view then search for storeid the availability is the line above.) If itrackr is reliable then it is easier to use.

Use this link and then just input your zip code:

Any idea on what exactly "Coming Soon" might mean?
