A bit of a late response. So, I bought a wii, but I had no TV. So I bought a TV. Funny how that works out.

Anyways i'm really happy with the setup now. My girlfriend can't get enough of Fishing Master and I've been playing a lot of Elebits and Prince of Persia... pretty cool stuff

Actually for those of you still looking for a Wii, go to FutureShop the day before suspected release date and ask customer service if they have any... that's how I got mine before they were all sold out.

Got mine today thanks to this website. Just found this site today and used the tips given by Mercinary and others to get my Wii at a nearby (30 minute drive) GameStop. Pretty cool to find this site and lead me to my purchase the same day . . . after trying 7 solid days on my own unsuccessfully.

Thanks WiiChat.com!!!

I GOT A Wii

well last christmas i was hoping for a wii but i had no such luck and after much frustration with the low amounts of wiis in stores i decided to buy a 360 will all of my money (which i love for halo 3 and now cod4). still wish i kept up looking for one but now my little sister wants a wii for christmas which is the best situation because now i will have both systems. well last night my mom got on me to look for one so i made about 7 calls at around 8 o'clock eastern and found a store that had one and my mom went and picked it up at around 832 eastern and now on christmas morning i will have a wii waiting for me since after the first week my sister will never play it again and it will be left for me.

I checked Gamestop backdoor this morning. There are 2 close to work. One report 4. So at lunch time, snagged the last one at that store. Clerk said they had 4 come in yesterday. All are goe at the store now. So seems the Backdoor is about a day off, but good enough to work. It probably helped that it was the middle of the week. Trying to find one on a weekend is probably impossible.

With Christmas coming. If you want one for yourself or as a gift, Better be looking NOW. I would bet by Thanksgiving, it will ge very hard to find. I jsut cant believe the demand is so high compared to the suppy. I heard an interview with a Nitendo exec, he said it takes 5 months from there order to raise production, untill it hits the store. So I doubt the available will do nothing but get worse between now and Christmas.

Im happy
