I have never really been a gaming person I did a little in highschool but none at all in the three years Ive been in college. it was pay day and on a whim I was like "hmmm...maybe I should see if they have a wii?" and went to the gamestop nearest me. my first attempt to get one I was in luck and they had them. sold 50 within 45 minutes and I just happened to be there at the right time. nintendo really did something right this time! its amazing!

Can Mods do something about this spammer?
---------------------------------------------------
My parents-in-law bought 2 Nintendo Wii from Air Miles club from Canada.
I didn't have faith in that program in the past....but they have massive credits from their business credit card.

We saw the ads from Air Miles saying you can trade credit for Nintendo Wii, and they went for it, it was back in early April 2007, they purchased 2 consoles. At the time, on the Air Miles web site, it showed Availability by May 18, 2007.
We received our Wii on April 30th, 2007!

I got mine from BigW last Thursday (Wednesday now), complete with Wii Play, and the Wii Sports Pack (crappy plastic attachments to get you more 'in the game' for Wii Sports).

There seems to be plenty around now.

I didn't know that there was still such a shortage. I got mine on release day. Camped in front of Best Buy with a bunch of friends. They don't like games much, but it was fun ^_^

got mine late in april, id been trying for months...called a toys r us earlier and they actually knew when they were getting some but didnt know how many. so i went to the store four hours before opening, and i was the fifth person in line...they ended up having over 35 wiis, so i guess i didnt have to come so early, but theres really no way to have known that.

interestingly, when i got my wii, they were selling on ebay for $350 consistently. now, i think the going price is down to about $330.

I bought mine on Monday from Best Buy in Torrance, CA. One of the BB guys told me that the SoCal BBs were having a RewardsCard member "party" where Wii's would be available and that any leftovers from that event would be on sale the following morning.

Being nice to the salespeople is always a good idea but really paid off this time.

(May the speculators eat stock at a loss)
