My girlfriend really wants the Nintendo Wii, and I'm going crazy looking for one for her.?

Question

I live in Eastern CT...anyone "on the inside" know when a particular store will have it?...and in general, does anyone know where or how I can get one at the retail price??

Answer 1

kepp checking and calling but call before you check... just call everyday and ask if they know when they are getting any shipments and eventually when you call and ask "Do you have and Wii's or know when you are getting anymore?" they will say yes like they did to me. :)

ps if you get it its hard to find extra controllers. :/

Answer 2

Finding a Wii is a science!!! The Wii comes direct from the factory and it is shipped UPS or FedEx. You most likely will not find it on the shelf when the store opens, in the evenings or on Sundays. The Wii is usually available in the afternoons and it is truly delivered at random.

Both Target and Best Buy are said to be featuring the Wii in their ad on the 21st (Michigan). This means they have been holding them back for the last week or so to assure a minimal number for the ad. Check the stores in your area.

If they are featuring them, I suggest camping out and take her with you so you can take turns standing in line and sleeping in the car. I have played the Wii and the wait is worth it!!!

You may also want to check CircuitCity.com. I have had sucess at this website, prior to Christmas, on a Wednesday and last Friday both at 9:00 am. Eastern Standard Time.

Hiya,

there is no chance in my opinion to get a Wii soon in any retail store. As someone else mentioned somewhere all pre-orders will be fulfilled first. If any shop happens to get new stock imagine all the campers who'll sleep in front of the stores or the chaos and then within minutes all will be gone.

Another option - a very secure and reliable one which least know of actually - is to purchase a Nintendo Wii thru any trusted 3rd party seller directly at Amazon. They have good feedback, deliver on time, mostly are merchants themselves simply and Amazon operates as the platform, in fact the purchase is processed directly via Amazon as you would usually buy from them.

You might check it out at

and then click on "See all buying options" at the right.

This is actually currently the best choice to get your hands on a Wii at all - without any hassles.

You might also try out ebay:

or Ebay express where only selected and trusted merchants are accepted:

Hope that helps.
