I got one Jan 20. After waiting for 6 hours. Def worth it!

i got mine last friday at gamestop, just walked in and they had one =]

1st post-Got mine for Christmas, bought TW Golf '08-I love it. I have not been a large gamer in the past (NES-PS1), but the Wii is the coolest thing ever.

I just got mine on Christmas a month ago.

Love it.

For about a year, I'd been hearing about the Nintendo Wii and it sounded pretty neat--like a console that I might actually consider buying. Something I could enjoy along with my wife and 4 year old, even.

I hadn't actually played one, nor shopped around for them, though.

At Christmas, I was at my sister's house, and she and her husband had purchased a Wii for their 8 year old son (and the whole family). I got to play it, as did my wife, daughter, parents, aunt, etc. After that I knew I wanted one! The only thing we played was the bowling, but it was *SO* much fun.

I've been checking wiitracker.com pretty much every day for the last couple weeks (since coming back to work after a two week holiday break/vacation), and for the most part there were *never* any available anywhere. Occasionally a "bundle" would show up, but that included a bunch of games I might not want, plus it was usually at least $400 and sometimes as much as $600 - $700. The console alone is $250.

Yesterday, there was finally some action on a $250 unit. Sears (sears.com) had it in stock...then out of stock...back in stock...back out of stock....in..out...etc. I didn't manage to get one.

But last week I was on my way to my barbershop to get a haircut and stopped into the EB Games that's a couple doors down. To my surprise, he said that occasionally they *did* get Wiis in stock, and had even had some just a few days earlier. So I called Monday, Tuesday, and today. Today he said they had one (said he had more than one, in fact). He said they couldn't hold it. So I raced out of my office and to my car. Drove over there as quickly, yet as safely, as I could. They still had one! It is here in my office now! (Couldn't leave it out in the cold car!)

I didn't get the extra controller or numchuks, or anything else--so there'll still be an additional expense, I suppose.--but I'm SO excited! Not only can I enjoy the Wii, but now I can stop trying to get one which was a bit of a hassle!

I got ours today and a new tv to go with it. My wife one one on ebay and the guy end up being just 1 houyr away so we drove and got it.. Having a blast

Awesome dude, hope you have fun with your Wii

After going to best buy today to get a new laptop, I left with a new laptop and my 2nd wii today. decided to get one for the upstairs t.v. instead of unhooking it all the time to play upstairs or downstairs.

After hunting the whole of last weekend, I managed to hold of one in GameStation last Monday. They'd had a delivery of ten that morning, and I managed to get hold of their last one in the evening.

I've never really been a Nintendo person in the past but the Wii really does knock the other consoles for six, IMHO. Never have I had so much fun playing a game. Nor have a felt so involved (just take Wii Boxing - you can't help feeling "inside" the game. Thus far I've bought Tiger Woods 08 (great game but the graphics aren't that fantastic - that's my only criticism of the Wii; its graphics). Next up, I plan on getting hold of PES 2008, Mario Kart Wii, some sort of baseball game, a boxing game, Top Spin Tennis 3 and maybe Lego Star Wars.

Congratz on the Wii purchase, hoe you have fun!!

Hey could everyone here who gets a wii please post on the forum for people who havent found one yet what store you got it from what time and what day of the week?

Ive checked so many stores and cant find one im hoping for a pattern in one or two.

got mine this morning through wiitracker.com Big lists of sellers and they post when stuff is in stock. Sears has a crazy amount of them in stock today. They actually are in stock right now 249.99 GOod luck hope you get one

Got mine a few days ago... been calling gamestop every day trying to get them because they are sold out within an hour of them being delivered usually. I have been calling every store in my area (8 of them) daily for a month and finally got one! This game rocks!

similar story to the guy above me, called every store in my area (6 of them) non stop for like 3 weeks and after school 2 weeks ago i got of the bus and walked into a ebgames i never seen before bought the last Wii in stock along with SMG, Metroid Prime 3, and dbz tenkaichi 2

Finally got one, my birthday was the 7th. (I'm finally 16 now!) So now I can drive, have a blockbuster (and a game-pass) near me, and I own a Wii. I'm liking life.

i just could not wait for mine there was about 3 left and i just managed to get it

I got mine today at Toys-R-Us in Baton Rouge, LA. Store opened at 10am, and I got there at 9:30. There were other people camped out. One of the employees came out and handed about 20 vouchers out to guarantee us that we would get it.

Yay!! I've only been looking for one for the past week.

I didn't get mine until April of last year, nearly 7 months after it was released. The anticipation and daily searching was horrible. I finally bought one off Ebay for $350.00. it came with 3 games and lots of nice accessories. Including Paper Mario, Excite truck and Twilight Princess (and of course Wii sports).

Defidentally worth it.

I just got mine yesterday, I went shoppin around Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal Mart, K Mart, everywhere! Nothing...

Then my buddy called me from Hollywood Video, said they just got one in and to hurry up and get there.

I was still on the clock and thank God I work RIGHT down the road from HV...

So I borrowed my coworkers truck, hauled it and picked it up.

And got paid while doing it, THANKS SPRINT!

I got mine today, online from Toys R Us. They've had a bundle in stock on and off for several days, and I finally got tired of waiting for just the console to show up. I narrowly missed the console a couple of weeks ago at Amazon. I thought about eBay, but if I'm going to pay a bunch of extra money for a Wii, I ought to at least get some extra games for the extra cash. It was $500, but it came with six games, all of which are good titles for the kids. Now I've got to find some games for me!

Amazon had the console today for about four minutes, and I'm still looking for another one for a friend. Unfortunately, right when I got the message on my phone from wiialerts.com, my boss walked into my office. By the time I finished talking to him about work, they were gone. Darn job!
