I just got my Wii today!!! After finally conning my parents into purchasing me one last Saturday, and calling multiple stores each and every day. Target received a shipment today. I got their about 7 a.m. and waited in line for an hour. I'd had to say the best part of getting my Wii was literally running down the isle to the electronics department. Yes there was people running to get their Wii -_- I was second in line :]. I got two games "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Mario Party 8".

I got my Wii today around four PM. ^_^

*Edit*

It only took me about three days to get my Wii.

I don't know why but out of no where it hit me. "Get a Wii fool."

So I tried but turned up empty-handed. Till the nice guy at GameCrazy told me for 50bones I can pick one up in a few days I put done the cash paid it off and got it on Tuesday evening. Best Tuesday ever.

I'm medical school and I had the BIG TEST (USMLE step 1) on Tuesday. I told myself that I was not going to get a Wii until after the exam b/c I knew there was NO WAY I would be able to study if it was sitting in the living room. So anyway, I get done with the exam and friends come to pick me up and my boyfriend hands me a box wrapped up. It is heavy and I am thinking... no way this is a Wii. I open it up and sure enough, he got me a Wii!!!

Our friend was getting pictures developed and heard over the loud speaker... Wii's have just arrived. She walked about 2 feet and bought one. They were gone in like 10 minutes

The Wii gods were on my side that day. YAY!

Managed to get my Wii about two weeks ago and I was sooo happy, I bought Sonic and the Secret Rings with it aswell (which is extremely hard) everything was going great until one day last week my game just stopped right in the middle of me boxing, I thought it was nothing and restarted my Wii and it wouldn't work, I was gutted! After spending a week trying to get it sorted I finally went back to the shop today and they replaced it for me thank God! So I am now happily enjoying my second Wii within the space of 3 weeks haha!

Got my Wii last Sunday After my fiancée waited in front of Target since 5 in the morning, God I love her! As for me, I worked from 6PM from 6AM that morning so I met up with around 7AM. So after being awake for 16 hours and trying to find one since December I finally have my Wii.

I just got mine... relieved someone of their slightly-used one after they decided they liked the Xbox better so I picked up a Wii + 2 remotes + 1 nunchuk + extended service plan for $300 total. Not bad. Grabbed a 2nd nunchuk, Mario Party and an S-Video cable from a local store and was good to go.

After calling 16 stores yesterday and having no luck, I called Best Buy 5 minutes away from my house, and they had multiple Wiis in stock. I got there within like 15 minutes and bought one.
Today I bought my first 2 games, which totaled over $120 but I got them for $27. Gotta love Blockbuster trade-in credit O_O

Never really thought about getting a Wii at first when it was coming out, I stuck with my good old 360. But....Of course one of my friends had one.... And it only took a couple times playing Wii Sports, TP, and the like to get me wanting one, so I saved up my paychecks and got one without too much difficulty or wait at Bestbuy.
