Orlando FL S Semoran Blvd has 4 wii's because they have them but they accidently told everyone who checks everyday that they won't get any til Feb. So no one checks for them, and they keep it that way until someone asks. But they do have 4 in stock as of Closing last night! I just got mine from there at 6 pm!!! woot

Bleh, I need to stop calling in. I'm starting to think people are lying to me. Yesterday both the Circuit City website and iTrackr told me a local store had Wiis, and when I called, they said they had none, and never got any that day, and told me to try again on Sunday.

I'm starting to feel a bit leery of these places...

Yup 380 off ebay. Shipping and insurance spiced that up some though. Ebay is the cheapest place other than a store. My w-mart hadnt recieved a wii in 3 weeks so I ad to get one online

If you need nunchucks, order them from nintendo.com. I emailed them about the availability and this is what they told me:

Hello,

Currently, we have a nice amount of Nunchuk's in stock. Every order takes approximately 1-3 days to process no matter the shipping method. If you're in New Jersey you should have your order in about 3-10 business days. All orders are shipped by UPS unless you pay for faster shipping, which will not affect the processing time.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

I was lucky enough to find them in Target, but if you can't find them this is definitely the way to go. Here are the links to the nunchuck and wiimote.

I don't think iTrackr works very well with Gamestop/EBGames in my area at least. I called 10 Gamestops/EBGames just now. My first and last call both told me they had some yesterday but they sold out, and I know for a fact another location had them yesterday but just sold out as I called them. I was never alerted on iTrackr. It must work best with Circuit City, Targets, etc. I guess I just have to call these places every week... Unless the BB rumor is true about Monday.

Thank you itrackr!!

Finally!

itrackr alerted me last night that ANOTHER Circuit City in Tyson's Corner had them in stock (the same one Schectmr got his at). I got there a little before opening and was #4 in line. The line probably grew to almost 20 people by opening (most had gotten the itrackr alert), and they only had 7 in stock. By the time I got to work, itrackr had sent me an email that they were out of stock again, so I'd say it's pretty accurate for Circuit Cities.

Keep the faith, and good luck! Especially to merc who's still coming up empty in NH...

New Jersey lit up like a Christmas tree for itrackr last night, but nothing near me in Philly. I'll keep checking though!

Got mine yesterday

Saw a nice little notice on here that there were some up at TRU...

and busted my butt wayyyyyyyyy too fast to get up there

But I am no longer Wii-less.

Bought an extra Wii-mote last week along with Zelda, and I also bought Monkey ball yesterday.

Good luck to everyone that's still out there looking, all it takes is patience.

If an epileptic guy that can't wake-up early in the morning can do it, so can anyone.

I have given up and will just wait until the price goes down on eBay or I can randomly find one when I go into a store, which isn't that often.

You're using itrackr, right? If you're really getting sick of the hunt, I suggest scaling back to just relying on itrackr alerts.

FYI, there seems to be a trend around here of people saying they're giving up and then suddenly scoring a wii. Hope this happens for you too!

I do look at iTrackr every day, but I don't rely on it, I call every store 3-4 times a day (about 15 places). But I'm done with that. I hope I do get lucky, thanks Kristi.

The unfortunate thing is that none of that hard work will ever pay off unless your area gets a shipment. It sounds like your area is certainly due. Hopefully itrackr will work for you when wiis finally roll into your town!

Itrackr was bogus today. got email last night saying several targets had stock in area. Should up was second in line out of 20 people - doors open and nothing. One man said that he check targets ack door inventory earlier and it said they had them. Either they are holding them or itrackr blew it. DANG IT
