What's wrong with itrackr? It works. Besides, I can't get the thing you posted to work on my mac. As far as I'm concerned you can't beat the itrackr text messages!

Woot for macs.

I don't have any changes. It works if ou are getting wiis. if not it's no different than itrackr. And the way I see it, they are both operating off of the same database so it doesn't matter which one you use.

lord, i didn't know the wii would continue to keep its momentum. i lined up for seven hours a few weeks ago and after playing it for less than 10 hours, i got bored of it and put it up on ebay. ps3 owns =P

I'm glad you did! I was hoping that you would...I actually searched the forums to see if you'd gotten one yet!.

Hope you're having fun right now on your new toy.

Anyone in NYC been able to get Wii recently?
Thanks

I am Wii-cursed. Felt like Lady Riddel earlier in the day. TRU (Foster City, CA) got some in yesterday, and yep, I missed it. Target got some in in the morning, yep I missed them too. Did Itracker blink? No.

Many thanks to those that gave me new leads today; Valley Fair, Circuit City, and Call Me Nasty's Target item availability search, where have you been!?! Since none of the 10 Targets listed for my area have Wii's in stock (what else), I searched Kristi's Cherry Hill area, and sure enough some of the Target's in that area have them "available". Thanks, I have hope once again....

He wasn't cheated. The reserve was not met, so the item was not sold.

whoops...just saw that.

It seems many were yesterday. I got one at GameStop in Lake Success (a few blocks into Nassau County, they're nice and helpful if they get to recognize you over there), and I heard a whole bunch (some said 150?!?) came into TRU in Carle Place (a bit farther out), though I'm not sure about specifically within NYC limits. I'm sure a bunch came out yesterday.

But it's getting easier. I'll bet by next week, almost all those who are really trying will be successful. Less luck involved.

Still no love for New England as far as Target is concerned. I was hoping to wake up to itrackr alerts & be able to pick a Wii up at 8:00 at any given Target. Maybe tomorrow....

Did you just call all over the place to find EB had them, or were you lucky on a visit? I'm unwilling to buy at Wal-mart (for a variety of reasons which I won't bother to go into here, but the short version is I'm left feeling dirty and greasy every time I buy something from one), but pretty much any other store is fine by me. I'd been hoping one of my local Targets would get some in stock, but as far as I can tell its been two weeks with no joy - stinks since I have a nice fat gift card for there.

First post for me. Been following the thread since page 3. Got mine today at Target in Milltown, NJ. Found out they were in stock from iTracker/store inventory site. Got there 5 mins before opening and was 5th in line. The store got about 10 in and were gone in 5 minutes. Work is going to be loooong today.

I feel your pain, yet another day with nothing in the DC/Metro area

Method of Rhythm · 01-10-2007, 02:22 PM

So the Circuit City in Valley Stream (45min.) away showed availability online and I wanted to confirm it over the phone. They didn't pick up after calling for an hour...no Wii for me.
