There is a guy who posts Best Buy ads in advance on some dvd forum. I know someone here has posted the website before. I need to see if they are going to be selling any laptops this weekend. Does anybody know what website it is?

The rumor is true.

I unfortunately work at walmart and read about the rumor before I had to go in today. Before my shift started I did a little snooping and found a memo in the Department 5 (or Electronics) Manager's mailbox. It basically told them to hold all Wii's for the January 28th Tab.

Sadly, this leaves me having to wait another 10 days to find my Wii. Since I have to work this Sunday morning, plus the allure of the 10% discount is too much to pass up.

Any chance the walmart electronic manager might not read their mail before tomorrow about noon? I've been watching a small fedex shipment heading to the walmarts in my area that will be delivered tomorrow, and I'm not in a big mood to wait outside BestBuy Sunday morning for my wii.

Wanted to let everyone no that all blockbusters with a GAMERUSH in them sales Wii's.

Today I saw someone online say it so I went to http://www.gamerush.com/ and popped in my zipcode to find the close ones.

First store did not have them but said they had all the accessories.

Second store said they had three. I about fell out of the chair because although I do not type in the forum much at all I have read it everyday for a month.

Anyway... So I told the lady I was 25 miles away and would be there soon. She asked my name and said she would hold one! WOW...

Got there and they had 2 left... now just 1. They also had the nunchucks but no wiimote but since the first blockbuster said they had all the accessories I went there and bought them. So I got everything tonight - Wii, Wii remote, nunchuck, classic controler, and component hookups...

Everyone should try calling and see what happens.

Oh and this was in McDonough, GA 30253...

I felt bad for the 2 people behind me whom didn't get a Wii, but I had to take care of myself. I would love to have sympathy, but remeber of launch night, no one would have dreamed of giving up their spot in line to give me their Wii.

We will all get one eventually:

Just a heads up..anyone living in North New Jersey (Bergen County area), I just got about 25 emails(no exaggeration) from ITrackr saying that the Wii is in stock in Gamestop/EBGames pretty much everywhere in the immediate area. It cant be a glitch either since I havent gotten one yet from Target...so anyway, thought that'd be helpful info.

-Terrible time for my phone though...it's intermittently receiving 25 of these emails in form of text...: (

Zman also drives fast Z28, just like Wiirio who drives a Mustang!

Most people in the holidays are just selfish idiots. The people in search of Wiis are into self-pleasure (hehehe) in video gaming. They never worry about other poor people. Wiirio has given up 2 Wii's for free to well deserving parents before Christmas. Therefore Wiirio has good joo joo!

You people who did not give up you Wii's for others should first be ashamed for yourself, and second, should stop attacking Wiirio's generosity!

Wiirio is good looking, smart and have good friends to provide 26+ Wii's for Wiirio. How many of you can say that? How many of you even have the intelligence to acquire more than one Wii? I suspect no one here besides Zman!

FYI, the Wii rush is over. This weekend, the stores plan to release massive amount of them, and on Monday you can just walk into any store and pick one up of the shelf!

Yesterday and today is when EB and gamestop get their shipment. Trust me "Dead Prez" from my palm to the EB/gamestop manager has netted me more than 3 Wii's!

However, Wiirio still has a great tip. I have a way for you to get a Wii for 15% off family discount instead of the $250 retail price. For those who wants that information, simply message me or reply here saying

"Wiirio is my daddy"

Then I will forward the site and condition where you get the discount. And this no cell phone sign up etc. Strictly, bring in the code, and get a family discount!

I can only share this with the first 10 peeps, because I don't want them to shut down the discount!

I just recieved a itrackr alert that the Manassas Mall and the Gainesville Gamestops have Wiis in stock. The store opens in a hour, so hopefully this helps someone.

I just called a few gamestops down here, and they all said they had none, and last shipment was last week... dose that mean they should have some in TODAY? and around what time do they get shipments in?

The Gamestop backdoor tool is showing all kinds of Wii availability at multiple locations around me. A buddy of mine stopped by Gamestop on my tip. He was told that they were expecting ~21 Wiis on the 21st.

Maybe Gamestop is getting shipments in today and saving them until Sunday?!?!

FINALLY GOT MY WII!!!

No standing in line for hours in the cold on the 21st. I happened to just check http://www.xpbargains.com/wii_locator.php as circuit city popped up and managed to grab a wii with an extra nunchuck and controller.
