Actually I am again. After my success a few weeks ago (thanks to your tip) I was asked by a friend if I could get them one too. So guess where I'll be next Sunday morning. You rock! Thanks again!

Got my wii today from ebgames
Bizcron method worked for me as well today. Checked that site, and eb games in Montgomery Mall in Bethesda had the wii in stock - I was just in time, and got the last one for $249 + taxes. The salesman there also confirmed that they will have the Wii Fit on May 21.
FYI for anyone looking to find a Wii.

I don't know if this is news or not (haven't read the entire thread) but the blockbusters in des moines Iowa just started selling nintendo Wii's and equipment (controllers, guns, etc).
Apparently they just got the stuff this week and haven't even put out the displays yet. The first store I checked had just sold their last 2, and I got the last one from the 2nd store I called.
Things usually take a little longer to get to Iowa so this may already be common knowledge, but just in case no one had heard this yet it's another place to try!

The Wal-Mart, Target and Circuit City in my area (western part of Virginia) have all had Wiis for the past week or so. I am getting the feeling, at least in this area, that the availability has caught up with the demand. Same with the DS -- they've been in stores (including GameStop) for the last couple of weeks.
Anyone else notice this where they live?

Toys 'R' Us Web site implies that they will be getting many this weekend in their stores, and that you can reserve one by going to a store:

"WoW from what Im hearing and saw today the demand is still insanely high." Really???? yikes:
i know a few resellers selling them at face value!! Looks like the "artificial demand" is not going to last.

Target, Best Buy, Circuit City and Toys R Us will have Wiis 4/27/08
I also heard that at Walmart you can go in and buy a ticket for $200 and pay $50 on Sunday when you pick up the Wii.

FYI, I am not a reseller, and, frankly, am not sure by what kind of 'logic' you could make an association between a) arguing against a Nintendo conspiracy theory, b) commenting on someone's poor English skills and c) being a reseller. By reviving a dead issue which everyone else had dropped almost a month ago, it actually sounds like you can't follow WiiWonder's own suggestion, since you are technically trolling...

Good luck, I'm just glad I got mine last year, though I almost died waiting a month till I went home for Spring Break to actually get it.
You know, I used to not believe in the rumors that Nintendo was keeping stock low to keep the demand higher and make it more popular, but after a year and a half of being sold out in a matter of hours after being stocked is just plain ridiculous. There is no excuse, especially with how cheap it is to make the Wii system.

I think everyone I know personally has their console too. What a deal! No bundles to buy, and $10 for 3 day shipping!! I love me some New Egg!

If you ever see them in stock, Target is the best/cheapest place to purchase a new Wii.
Sign up for their credit-card and buy the system for $225($25 savings or 10% off) and then wait a few minutes and go up to the customer-service desk and pay the system off with your debit-card and then close the credit-card when it arrives in the mail!
