The guys at Gamestop just tell me the only way I am getting one right now is to come up and camp out at their store from opening to whenever the shipments come in. :\ Don't really wanna do that. =(

well, all i kno is that BB might have a huge sale this mond. But its just a rumor. Some people are saying that BBs are getting large shippments on the 15th so there wont be a sale on the 15th im assuming. But the 15th is MLKjr day so the mail wont be traveling i believe. And there was a sunday before MLKjr day so they wont get any shipments then either. Target is to my knowledge having a huge sale on the 21st. So target is a good bet. BB im not sure but why not try? I mean what else can you do at night if you dont have your wii? sleep? sleeping isnt for wiiless people lol. My plans are if the sunday ad comes through im going to goto BB at like 3 in the morning. Because if its in the sunday paper then everyone will know and skool is out so people like me have a chance to get there lol. But hey it all depends on what your able to do. Exploit your resources while you still can

play POKEMON lol bring a handheld and frss warm if you live up north. I mean hell its one day of sitting and many months and years of gaming. Thats equivelant exhange right?

gibsonrocker800 · 01-11-2007, 12:48 AM

yeah well im definitely goin to target on the 21st (i heard they are getting 10+).. ill probably go at like 7ish, it opens at 8...... my dads gonna kill me if i make him drive me there, pay to park, and then just leave for nothing. hopefully ill get one this time.

Bryan_ · 01-11-2007, 12:49 AM

I dunno. Maybe I'll bring my SP (that's the only handheld I have) and some drinks and some extra $ for the food court. I would punch myself repeatedly if I missed a shipment just because I wanted some chinese food or something. lmao

you may want to get there way before 7. Because if its advertised then theres no way you will get in the front of the line by goin there at 7. i would say 4 or 5. But if you cant get there then all I can say is good luck? I guess im just happy i have a car and parents who trust me to be safe.

lol sounds like me. I dont know where my BB will actually put them. I mean a few times i would take down someone if I saw someone leaving with a wii just because i couldnt find em. I would take him or her down, even if it was a little old lady. I mean i guess they would put them in the game section. But then theres the isle behind the game section, and also the place up front where they put all the new stuff.

Its hard to watch a whole store with only one person!

gibsonrocker800 · 01-11-2007, 12:54 AM

oh well im only 15 lol... i can only get rides from my dad. i would take a bus but they dont run that early. but like, this target is in like a mall type thing... and i dont think that it opens up that early. besides, my dont wont take me at 4 or 5 probably. but yeah im hoping that this whole thing isnt BS, and that my target is actually gonna have some.

userguy · 01-11-2007, 12:56 AM

The rumor is (at least for NorCal people) is that Targets are in fact holding off from selling Wii's until 01/21! Speculation says that there will be a "substantial" amount.

gibsonrocker800 · 01-11-2007, 12:57 AM

damn, hope its the same way for NY

Shechtmr · 01-11-2007, 12:58 AM

Ya going off of rumors sucks, And incase your using wii seeker it tells the shipment dates as the 21st which is wrong since no shippments come on the weekend. So thats prob going to be the sale instead. And if your using itrackr and your like and it doesnt show BB watch target at night and early morning since target doesnt stock until around 10pm. And Ive heard that the target is true, but im not too sure about the BB rumor. It seems possible since they havent had stock all week. Usually i get we sold out but now im just getting no.

And if its in a mall get there when the mall opens? Northtown mall (MN) opens at 11 but the doors are always unlocked. and BB has two entrances one on the outside and one in the mall. Since the mall doesnt open until 11 the door that is inside the mall doesnt open until 11 so if your waiting there its kinda a waste. But if its a store thats strictly inside the mall then i would say your safe.

ya, i cant wait that is possibly why there has been a wii shortage i mean seems logical right? save up the 2 or 3 you get every day and you will have a lot over time?

well see. ive never even gotten "we sold out" .. ive always gotten "NO"... idk ive been getting so discouraged because it literally seems as though these places never get shipments.

barieuph · 01-11-2007, 01:05 AM

Give up until Monday is my advice.

gibsonrocker800 · 01-11-2007, 01:07 AM

yeah it sucks though cuz i have no ride to the Best Buy on monday, unless i take a bus and walk like a mile.
