is it still hard to get a $250 nintendo wii from local stores?

Question

more specifically san jose, CA

Answer 1

Yes, all of my friends here in NYC are trying to get it, I only know one person who actually has it, ^^" You have to wait for nintendo to supply more, I guess, ^^"

Answer 2

Hiya,

there is little 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.

Answer 3

it really depends on the city, and since san jose is a larger city it probably would be easier to go to a smaller city/town where the demand isnt so big. you dont have to travel too far, just to the closest small town with a walmart or target. dont go to a gaming store.

Answer 4

Try your local walmart or check on line 2 all the stores sometimes it's easier 2 order it on line.Here in Ct walmart gets them every 2wks no joke Hubby works there so I know these things lol
