What time does Target open?

Target opens at 8

i was thinking about going at six too, but knowing my friends we are leaving at 530 to make it there by six. It doesn't seem that late but 5-6 should be alright, i am quite sure camping out won't be necessary
good luck to all who are going on sunday

1st party means nintendo made.

vagabondblue · 01-17-2007, 07:16 AM

My wii works with my linksys router... so no, it's not just 1st party. If you have a DS and bought the nintendo usb wifi adapter, that works too. It also supports wired lan with a usb 2.0 adapter.

I don't know if all the best buys are getting shipments, but I know the one nearest me is getting some Sunday.

Wiirio_Greedy · 01-17-2007, 01:45 PM

NO Wii's in Best Buy this Sunday???!!!!

Wiirio, on the other hand, has 2 Wii's sitting besides him now!

Apparently the corporate offices are pissed over the PowerPoint presentation leaking onto the internet. The sale will NOT be on a weekend and will start at 12:00 noon. (After the store is open) They don't want people lining up waiting anymore. Take it for what it's worth. I guess I gotta wait another month too. Glad I didn't camp out.

longshotfan · 01-17-2007, 02:31 PM

For some odd reason I don't believe him. I have called my target many time and I know that they are getting a shipment in soon just by the way there acting and what there saying. I still want to know when I should get there I live in a pretty small town (about 30000 and about half of those are Hispanic)(not being racist.)

FPSCOOTR · 01-17-2007, 05:29 PM

nevermind, they just took buy it now off

greener255 · 01-17-2007, 05:34 PM

Trying to get a wii for a wiik, with no success in the Raleigh area. However, after trying to "jump the UPS man" at the EB Games on Capital Blvd near the Mayflower, I saw they had about 10 wiimotes on display.

Considering the frustration I might later encounter not being able to find one once I finally get the console, I bought one. Notice, they did not have any consoles or nunchucks, just the remote. Paid my $40 and was out the door.

Hopefully the search will end Sunday AM, who knows...

Happy hunting...good thing I drive a Civic.

BigBadPolo · 01-17-2007, 05:43 PM

That and it is a PAL/UK version going by the picture. Seems he fails to mention that. He even lists it as the NTSC(US,CAN) version in the Description. Shady, shady....

SexaCuti0n3r · 01-17-2007, 06:05 PM

Sigh... just got back from TRU and nothing

The lady said that DHL usually delivers to them around 1, but not today. She was talking to some man and recognized me from yesterday and said they had them an hour ago, 6 of them. Looks like I'll be camping out nice and early on the 21st

Holiday bundle in stock now, just got mine, if you hurry you may be in time!

Has anyone else bought one and received it from Walmart? Are their dates reliable?
