Best Buy, that is.

So they hang on to them, through the week, and put them all out in one shot on a Friday?

Yeah, that's what I've heard other people say about Best Buys around them.

The Best Buy's near me usually get them Thursday morning/night, so they sell them on Friday, allowing for campers to know when they can go and camp out.

I camped out one Thursday night, and they knew that they had them in from like 6PM.

It was worth the overnight wait!

Just a heads up... I'm in the GVA and last Friday the best buy I checked only had 8 units and they already had 8 people camped out at 9:30. I'm sure if they had a bigger shipment 9:30 would have been fine, but for smaller ones it might be too late.

join the club.... we have jackets

A guy at The Source (Sheridan Mall, Mississauga) told me that he did not expect to see another shipment until after the 15th of January. Not sure how much stock I put in that though.

Another guy at the Great Canadian Superstore (Brampton, Ontario) said that a lot of units had been returned, while in transit, due to the strap recall. Anyone else heard this?

nicikatt · 01-01-2007, 06:14 PM

How can that be true? Every 2 hours? Also, anyone know anything about shipments this week?

turco · 01-01-2007, 08:56 PM

i have been told zellers gets a shipment every friday here in hamilton. if you live in hamilton go to the center mall because most people cant afford a wii down there.
