just woke up from my "nap"! i crashed right when i got back home, around 9am EST. i ended up being #12 in line at target. at about 5am, the manager of target showed up in the lot and told us there would be less than 20 available. by then the line reached roughly 40. bummer!

she came back out verifying target had only 17. holy shmoly, how fortuitous of me! i was going to leave at 5:30a, but after finding this website, i decided to leave home around 1:15.

WiiChat FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am finally a Wii owner!

ya i found that wii seeker site too bute it hasnt updated at least as far as retail. do you know if most targets if not all are supposed to be getting a shipment tomorrow or is that just for the one near you! and do you think that is legit and even will they sell them because they, as well as everybody else, received the wiis all during the past week but held until sunday so they could "announce big numbers"

Good Question, they said they get there shipments in every sunday,Monday, and i forgot the other days but they said there's a chance there's a Wii in tomorrow Shipments-- Everyone call there TARGETS and ask!!!!

just wanted to post this...

the best buy in midtown (5th Ave and 44th St) had some chump lie to me yesterday about having units on monday the 18th between 3 and 3:30p. i told him that i read online about BB having available units sunday morning. he blatantly denied this.

obviously that queer was sending his friends over to snatch up the units while sending honest consumers away.

just got my wii at target in redwood city near stanford! was visiting my girlfriend and was so hyped the past few days. i was going to head out at 3AM, then 2AM, and in the end, I left and got there at 1AM. I was told they were guaranteeing 20 to 30 systems, but in the end, they came out at ten minutes before doors opened and said they only had 18. everyone was pretty upset considering there were over 100 people lined up. I was 15/18...soO lucky...if I had left my original time, I wouldn't have made it...
But just checked eBay and DAMN...they're going for over $600 easily...madness...I am considering just eBaying it since I just picked up an HDTV for my PS3...

****ed over! TWICE IN THE SAME NIGHT

So at 10 O'clock after my long day of hard work I headed down to best buy. I was number 25 in-line. I slept and awoke at about 3:30. 15 minutes later an employee coems out and says they only have 24 units. So i had to leave ****ing best buy. I drove over to our Circuit city because i remeber the flyer saying that the store would have 20 units minimum. I was 17th in line. At 7 the manager coems out and says we have nine units. 10 minutes later its down to 2 units. Well I got ****ed ver because some employees get to steal from us! THe paying customer! Today I'm calling and complaining. That is complete bullshit.

Mine was supposed to be for my 6 year old son for Christmas - but he knew where I was all morning and wouldn't leave me along about it for hours after I got back.

So that and my curiousity - he is playing it right now (I did tell him he had to settle for Wii sports and couldn't have any of the other games we've bought until Christmas).

I'm pretty impressed. My 4 year old daughter always wants to play with him on his DS or Xbox but never could. With the Wii she was in playing bowling with him already - and beat him the first time.
