i got a wii in the end. I got it in a Bundle from GameStation £289.89 but they did not give me sealed games, all 4 of them was not sealed and some have scratches on. The scratches aint a problem because i can get them removed but still it will cost me £2.00 per disc. They said i can go to the store tomorrow and pick a new game and they will exchange one... this was when i brought the console they told me this. I will go there tomorrow and see if they got the game i want in stock and swap it for that but i will make sure its sealed this time. I have 3 discs which dont have Club Nintendo Scratchers , its ok because i got 1750 Stars in the end at club nintendo. I just got the problem trying to get the wii to connect to the internet. I got a cable modem and a USB cable but i was told i need to get a Router or a Wii Lan Adaptor. Ill see if i can pick one up sometime.

I just ordered my Wii from here:

http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1914492

It's listed for only $239.00, and it includes all of this stuff:

* 1 Wii Console.
* 1 Wii Console Stand.
* 1 Wii Remote.
* 1 Wii Nunchuk.
* 1 Sensor Bar.
* 1 Wii AC Adaptor.
* 1 Wii AV Cable.
* 1 Wii Sports game disc (includes 5 games; baseball, bowling, boxing, golf, and tennis).

as well as

* 1 Wii Play game disc (includes 9 games and extra remote, for a total of 2 remotes).
* Mario Party 8 game disc.
* 1 Extra Wii Nunchuk (for a total of 2 Nunchuks).

I just ordered it though, so I can't tell you if it really is too good to be true, but it seems like that guy is selling more... Plus he accepts Paypal, so even if he is out of stock, you can get your money back! ^_^ Best of luck to you all!


<EDIT> Dang it, I got that e-mail, too. :P And I was all psyched to play Mario party 8! *sigh* But hey, one of my friends who is Panamanian got a Wii from there, so maybe she wouldn't mind picking up one for me, too....

Hey, thanks for the post about the ecrater.com website, I just ordered mine from there, it was $280.00 US with S&H. I sure hope my Wii comes soon. Thanks again for the tip.

Nevermind, I just got an email saying he already sold it to someone else..

Looking for a Wii and in Southern California??? I can ship it if you want.

I live in Orange County and am willing to sell mine. I have really just lost interest and have lots of extras for it. Adult Owned. Just bored. Probably have over 600 bucks into it.

1. Wii Console and everything included in the package
2. NYKO Dual Charger station with batteries
3. Standard AV cables as well as Component Cables for HD hookup
4. 2 Wiimotes and 1 nunchuck
5. 1 Classic Controller
* List of games *
1. Wii Play
2. Wii Sports
3. Madden 08
4. Guitar Hero 3 with Guitar Controller
5. Mario Super Strikers
6. Super Mario Galaxy
- virtual games include Punchout and Mario Brothers

Interested?? Make me an offer. Not really in a hurry to get rid of it and don't need the money, just want someone else to enjoy it. Don't really play it anymore. Have original receipts for the console from Target and some other various receipts for games and stuff. Lemme know if you want it...can ship within' US.

Woo, 9 Wiis are being delivered to a local Gamestop tomorrow... I have exams that day, but my father said he'd camp out at Gamestop for me. ^_^ I hope tomorrow'll be our lucky day!

New here but thought I would share. If anyone is looking for one in the Dallas area stop by the Fry's Electronics in Plano. Last I heard they had around 25 left...

I finally got a Wii! I did a lot of calling around to all the Gamestops in the Houston area this week. A bunch of them told me they expected to get a shipment in this week. Yesterday, I called around again and 1 of them (Willowbrook mall location) had 24 and the other (Galleria location) had an undisclosed amount. The Galleria was closest, so I got mine from there. If you are in the Houston area, you are probably in luck this week.

I just got my Wii this morning at Gamestop in Franklin Indiana.I called 27 Gamestops on Monday and Tuesday.Only one store had gotten Wii's on Tuesday and there was only one left when I called.It was gone by the time I got there.So this morning I decided to just stake out at one Gamestop and wait for the shipment.There was one other guy waiting there besides me.They got 3 in and sold two of them within minutes.While I was paying for mine someone called asking if they had any.So all 3 probably gone within an hour.The best way to get a Wii is to stake out at a Gamestop that hasn't recieved a shipment Monday or Tuesday and wait for shipment on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.If they get a shipment that week you'll get one.

Amazon had a batch of Wiis available today at around 11:00am CST. As usual, they were gone in a couple of minutes. I was very lucky to snag one for myself though.

Looking for Wii console

I live in Southwest Ohio between Dayton & Cincinnati & have been trying to locate a Wii System since before Christmas for my son with learning disabilities. I have been to Walmart, Meijer, Target, Sams Club & they all tell me they just sold out.

Anyone have any idea where they have more than 1 or 2 in stock in SW Ohio?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Eureka: Looking for the Wii...

Reporting from Eureka, CA,

The last Wii's hubby and I saw for sale was at Target on New Year's Day, Jan 1, '08. They received a load of 30-35 units... We bought one, and now kick ourselves for not buying two. They haven't had a shipment since.

Gamestop gets them randomly, and always a quick sell out.

Sears, never.

Costco, I've heard of them selling, but never seen.
