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?

Dude you are my hero! Just got my order in! The 3 week search is OVER.

Glad I could help!! I was worried no one would see it until it sold out. I saw the availability on both these tracking sites:

http://notifywire.com/

http://www.refreshthing.com/index.ph...%2F&timeout=10

Now I just hope that Walmarts dates of 1/23-1/26 are accurate!!!

hmmm wii's are still in high demand? Thought they would've gone a bit down right now. Guess we will have to wait till anyone can just walk into an electronics store and buy one off the shelves

Yay!

Today I called up gamestop and they had no Wii's but told me some valuable info. He said he had accessories available, hd cables, wiimotes, wiinunchuk, point card, etc.

So I snagged 1 Wiimote and 1 Wiinunchuk!

I also bought a green skin case for the controller for $7. And I am ordering DBZ Budokai 2!

Now the only thing left is the Wii!!!!!!!!!! Which I hope to get this sunday.

By the way I live in Saginaw, MI

Well, I just called up my local Target since that backdoor site showed that Wii's were available but the lady on the phone said they'll have em' on Sunday. I guess certain Targets are selling them as soon as they get them while others are stockpiling for Sunday. If I were you I'd call up your closest Target.

Good luck man! I really hope you find one since you showed me how to find one of my own!

Also anyone living in the Reading, PA area (1 hr NW of Philly) I just got an alert that Target has the nunchuks in stock. Fortunately I found mine online when TRU had them in stock.

I wouldn't believe it. The pictures all look like stock pictures. To purchase a legit Wii on Ebay, the seller is supposed to take a picture with their username next to the Wii to prove ownership (or take a picture with the receipt having username written on it).

Anything else I would not bother with. I doubt that anyone buying a Wii to sell on ebay really has the buyers best financial interest at heart. Lets face it, people who buy them to sell on ebay are jerks who want extra profit.

[edit]
Hey, guys. Everyone remember that target webpage trick a few pages back?
Well, I just thought I'd let everyone know that all of the stores in my area are popping up as "available". Could this perhaps be because they are stocking them up for Sunday?

Go to the target search page to see:
http://www.target.com/gp/store-info/...sin=B0009VXBAQ

And remember to view source when you get to the next screen.
Call away!
If they tell you they don't have any you can explain to them that the webpage says they are available

Seems like the Target thing is not all that reliable.

This shows "Limited Availability" in one store in Timonium:
http://crayz.org/target_wii.php?zip=...sin=B0009VXBAQ
But this for the same store (Timonium) shows none by using a nearby zip code:
http://crayz.org/target_wii.php?zip=...sin=B0009VXBAQ
I called the store and the lady said they don't have any.
