Looking for a Wii I'd like to find one for a reasonable price the one listed below on Ebay seems a touch high. ::Spit::

But in all seriousness where can I find one of these Turkeys without having to sit outside overnight on the hope I'll get on of the few the store gets in....
Wii!!!!
Sorry... just had to.
These things have been out for a year and they're still hard to find? Is Nintendo holding back for some strange reason?
I have seen them at wally world and Best buy every so often. Usually not more than 1 or 2 and they seem to be gone the next day. I dont think Nintendo is holding back, they are just selling really well. There isnt much reason to hold back, because the more they put in stores the more they sell. A short supply just raises the price on Ebay. It isnt like Nintendo can raise the price $100 because there arent many on store shelfs. This system goes across normal gaming lines. It appeals to kids and adults. I have heard there arent a ton of good games and after the novelty wears off people dont touch them much after that.
Yeah, my wife wanted one for her birthday. I found the same thing POS did. There's no way I'm paying 2x or 3x list for a video game system she'll forget about by March.
Dial me up next time princess! ;)Quote:

BTW. What else should Wii be looking at if we can't find a Wii??
I'll be stopping by my local Wallyworld this evening... I'll give you a ring if they have any.
There are rumors that Wallyworld will be having another one of their 'secret' sales this coming Friday morning (12/7). I should get an email on Thursday if it's true. Don't know if they will have any Wii's, but might be worth a shot.Quote:

+1. I got my Wii on Black Friday last year by waiting outside of a gamestop at 2am. My brother and I had nothing better to do, so we decided we'd see if we could actually get one.Quote:

I paid 430 over to get one off CL. I lucked out and called the guy 1 minute after he put it on there. Had t drive to Arlington to get it, but i love. Tiger Woods 08 is a lot of fun
::Spit:: Yea we were sort of hoping to get her a few other things this year other than just a Wii.Quote:

She already told me she doesn't want race tires (again!). :rolleyes:Quote:

I saw another good pointer on finding the allusive Wii. Target and Costco. When most go searching, they focus on GameStation, Best Buy, and Walmart. Apparently Target and Costco often get just as big of allotments as Walmart without as many morning line waiters.
