First post, got mine 2 days ago after making about 50 or so calls and missing one the day before by about 2 minutes.
Loving - Zelda, Madden, Excite and of course Wii Sports
Not loving - Far Cry, Super Monkey ball
I think I will wait for some new releases before buying any more games.

Well after weeks of waiting and anticipation.... I was on my way to school today and was on hold with the electronics department of wal mart thinking optimistically its probably taking a while because they got some wiis in and their stocking them or something. Then the lady picked up the phone and I asked her if they got wii's in.... and she said..... yes we just got 7 Wii's in today. So I dropped off my friend at school and sped home and got my dad and went to walmart. To my surprise nobody was there to get one... figures since I was probably the only one calling almost everyday to get one... Me and dad got 2 and my mom came and got one.. so i have one and the other two are on ebay along with a zelda game.. hopefully i make a good profit lol. Wii seeker was wrong cuz they said wal mart wasnt gettting shipments in till the 8th or the 9th so good thing I called newayz!!

Buying three out of seven? I don't know, just seems a little mean-spirited to me, especially at a time when you know that there will be people in your town who are also trying really hard to find one. I was lucky and got my one console quite easily, but there are people who are really struggling to get just one for themselves, and have been trying for weeks. Seeing some individuals "scalp" multiple consoles and then pray on others misfortune of not yet finding one and using this opportunity to charge above the retail price of $250 on eBay. This is nothing personal to the original poster, I know a lot of people have been snapping up multiple consoles when they find them...me personally, I would rather just take the one I want for my home, and then let others have their shot at getting one too.

I got my Wii by driving one hour east, then back to the start, followed by a thirty minute treck west to get the other remote. My wife loves it as much as I do, and to all of you people who go and buy multiples to try and rip other gamers off for profit, I just hope you realize by doing things like that, it makes bad things happen to you. And deservedly so, but you'll find that out soon enough
