Yeah TRU hasn't answered once out of the 20 times I've called over a period of 5 hours. Anyone able to get in contact with TRU?

It's been a long and perilous search for the Wii, but yesterday night I came home to a message on my voicemail saying there was a Wii waiting for me at CompuSmart (preorder from November 29th). On the search for a second wiimote though so if I wind any stores with Wii I'll keep you guys updated

Damn!
Hi I'm new to this thread... I live in Montreal, and I heard that Future Shop was going to get some Wiis this week... But when I called last night at 8h55, they said that they won't get any until after christmas, so I thought to my self: At last a precise answer. But then, this morning when I came at work at 9h00, I called again and the guy told me that they got some this morning and that they're already sold!!! I was soooo pissed!!! (I'm still pissed by the way). I should'nt have listen to what they said to me last night!! I was ready to go at like 7h30 this morning!!!! I was sure to get one!!! DAMN!!
Anyway, I called 4 different Future Shops, and they all told me the same thing, but the las two told me that they're supposed to get some more tomorrow or friday for sure... Now I'm not going to miss my chance and I'll be at the Future Shop entrance tomorrow morning at 7h00...
I hope this is going to help some of you people!!! Don't listen to what the sellers says!!!
P.S.: Sorry for my bad english...

I managed to get mine this morning at Wal-Mart. I waited for 2 hours outside EBgames at Unicity in Winnipeg only to find out that while they had received a shipment of PS3's, they apparently were not getting any more Wiis till after Christmas. As to whether that's true or not, your guess is as good as mine. So, I grabbed a nunchuck that had come in because they're rare too and then browsed around the store a bit. The guy that was in line behind me had left and gone over to the nearby Wal-Mart just to check. He came back into the store and told me that they had 3 left so they must've gotten a shipment of 5 or so. I coulda kissed him. I sprinted over there and landed one, as well as a VC controller. I almost fainted.
All I can say is check Wal-Mart around 10am or so. They never seem to have them when they open, but the Purolator truck seems to hit that area around 9:30-10:00am. So,if you're in Winnipeg, give it a try, and good luck!

Future Shop did not advertise anything either... I think they want to avoid crouds and trouble so they just don't say anything...

I scored a wii at EB yesterday morning in Kitchener, Ontario and an extra nunchuck and remote, until we called Microplay. Two different stores had stock and they even held it for us! Give them a call. We heard that they had more accessories than other stores because their head office was running a draw on wiis so the stores weren't receiving them before Christmas.

It's funny, every time some new thing comes along, like a game or a videogame system or whatever, that I want to get badly that I'll call Futureshop or Best Buy or whatever store it is... it continually amazes me how any company can operate these days and not have any clue at all what they've ordered and when it is coming in! Don't these guys have electronic inventory, in this day and age isn't there an electronic trail they can follow from the supplier to the guy stocking the shelves? How can this be?! Isn't it the freaking 21st century, isn't this the freaking digital age?! Sheesh!!!

TRU is getting thousands on Friday but I don't know if it counts in Canada too. The say nationwide so maybe it might.
Proof: http://www.ps3seeker.com/wii/
And what about Bestbuy? Will they get shipments on Friday or not?  I don't know if I should go to TRU or Bestbuy.

Calgary Shawnessy Futureshop has 17 Wii's in stock right now, selling them tomorrow at 8am!
I don't think many people know about this shipment though, so i think going around 6am would be fine. Not sure how many Calgarians will actually read this.
Dunno if the shipment applies to the rest of Canada, sorry

I'll give futureshop a shot tomorrow and visit it at 6, even I'm from Richmond BC. I'll update right away whether there's any in stock since I live 5 min from futureshop. So expect an update around 8 ish.
