Rumor has it that retail websites will be activating their listings after midnight on Sunday morning.

I wonder if its better to hit those up before camping out? If you are lucky to get one online, theres that evil dreaded shipping fee and waiting time as well.

Target has officially said here in North FLorida and when I was in MIami on the weekend that they are putting thiers out on Teusday the 19th. Another friend driver called me this morning when he dropped 10 boxes of Wiis off at the Target telling me to go up there immediately. THen called right back and said yah for sure they wotn put any out till the 19th. SO I guess ill be at best buy and EB games sunday as I know they have them as well and are putting them out at the same time! GOOD LUCK

Default Circuit City And Best Buy SF for 17th

Hi.
I just called my local Circuit City (Van Ness) and Best Buy (around Civic Center) in San Francisco Downtown and learned that Circuit City will have exactly 10, and Best Buy will have min 15. Best Buy told me they can't tell how many they're going to have but i'm guessing a little bit more.

Just to let you know.

depends if you live in a big city or not.
you should call your local best buy, and ask.
if they don't tell you, pay them a visit.
but, there is a slight chance you may recieve one.
i'm leaving for circuit city, on the other hand at 3AM.
but i'm paying them a visit tomorrow.

i seriously doubt you will get it, since i went a hour earlier and they had 60 wiis that day and i did not get any. Also it's the last week for wiis until christmas so it's gonna be more crowded. i would recommend you check the lines the day before or early that day. Im actually going to leave 5 hours before to eb games. Since most people will go to the big retailers.
