I also forgot to say, that most of the EB's and gamestops that I called in my county area all seemed programmed to say "about 2 weeks after new years" was when we would be seeing more official shipments of wii's. I guess this would go for southwestern connecticut, lower manhatten, and long island or something.

The 250 thing is for the one in..umm..Temfran? (can't spell lol. The one near the airport?) But I'm not too sure about the accuracy of this news.

But, the thing about the shipment on the 28th is the Colma Target. Keep in mind the friend only said "may be coming in" on that day. What's (kinda) annoying is that they supposedly had a lot of Wiis toward the end of last week...but apparently they only kept them in the back (and all the Target employees eventually bought them all). I'm hoping he'll keep one for me when the next shipment comes. (prays for it to arrive sooner)

oo Tanforan i know that mall... Thats good to hear. My friend has also been looking ALL OVER, searched like many many targets and radioshack.. CC... everything and it seems there wont be any on tuesday 26 or maybe even 27!
He asked many employees at the shop, but still no good news. Its pretty likely that the only way to get it is after new years. there may not even be shipments on new years either well it is a holiday...

Thanks Teth!

Oh my god... thats like the bestest website ever! So far i have only been useing inaccurate ones.. but this one is like a godsend. It's going to be so much easier to track one down! thank you!

EDIT eDIT: one question i am wondering.. all the zip codes i type in at wii seeker says that the shipping and arrivals dates are UnKNOWN
Is it because of christmas?

I a little confused on how to use it, if you could clear up a little somthing it would be great:

So basicly, just check there, and if it Mentions on the top box above the map, that they have it, then they have it? Instead of everysingle time i check at that site, i have to skim down that long long long list of stores at the left?
I wish they had a forum for it.... or like a direction key ehheeh.
thank you!

It could be because of that. Eventually, it will have which stores will have it and when. Even with that, I would call the stores listed there because some may not have it. Usually on that date, not only that store will have it, but i think majority of other stores receive shipment, so remember to do your calling!

I was in that situation but there is no way I can justify paying more than retail. Take into account the shipping time you are going to wait aswell you may find one on the shelves and kick yourself. I refuse to support scalpers. Now winning an auction under retail I can support.

If you guys are in the Bay Area, I would check out Valley Fair. That's where I got mine. Gamestop and EB games in that mall gets like 50 per shipment. They get it almost every other day and usually comes in at like 1pm. That's where I got mine. Just stop by during lunch one day and saw a line at both EB and Gamestop.

Yup i live in Bay area,Valley fair? never heard of it.. is there a website on it? or.. like.. a location? That would be great thanks.

And when you mentioned the mall, do you mean tanforan? I called their EB games and they just replied "Dont know" every Question
Thanks much
