Not bragging about anything here, but i think my mom got one from online somwhere...it supposedly is suppose to be here some time this week, i thought most on-line stores were all sold out. Anyone have any ideas where she may have found one to be mailed out this week besides e-bay? It wasent pre-orderd" and it defeats part of the reason why i wanted one if she paid like 400 for it or somthing...w/e ima still camp for it next week.

I'm searching for a Wii. I already called EBGames, Future Shop and Wal-Mart but nothing, in stores, they have no Wii.

Someone told me that even if I try and I try, I'll never find one before chrismiss.

I got one! I waited from 9am-3pm, but I got a Wii at the mall. They actually recieved a shipment of 98 on Friday.

For anyone in the Maryland/DC area, the EB Games in Montgomery County Mall in Bethesda gets more Wiis than any other store in the state, so go there!

Ok, my husband and I are both ready to camp out on Sunday... what store should I hit? I have every major store around... gamestop/EB/BB/CC/TRU/Target/etc...

I think someone asked what time people would be camping- I'll probably go out around 3:30/4 a.m. but only because my husband is dying to get one for Christmas

Remember for those who don't have the time to go through the whole thread.

Nintendo World in NYC. Be There by 5am sharp and you can get a wii most of the time. Any earlier is better. Only about 100 a day are sold.

Toys r us in times square is good also. They get big shipments and usually don't announce it. If you can pass by on mondays. Shipments usually come in on saturdays or sundays and sold on mondays. Peace.

When I call, they always say "I'm sorry, the Nintendo Wii is not disponible and we don't know when we'll have a shipment". I live away from Future Shop, how do I can know exactly the moment that they'll receive a shipment?

Still on search for a Wii...

im deciding between a target that claims to be getting a big shipment, which is about 5 minutes from a wal-mart, or there's another area with CC, TRU, BB and a different Target all within 5-10 minutes of eachother, which is also in a more populated area. If i go to that area I'm probably gonna go with best buy, as I heard it tends to get larger shipments, plus if they have been sitting on a weeks shipment, then they should have more. if not there, than the other target. still a toss up.

ouch i picked mine up on ebay for $300 , picked up everything else locally. At the time i regreted paying more. But after seeing the shortage it was the best $50 i spent, espcially since i will go home and tear up wome wii bowling and zelda tp.

just search ebay at 3-5am. i bought mine around 3:30am on the day after launch.
