I've called Best Buy and Walmart and they find out the day before so I don't see how a website would know.

This website will give me a "cash equivalent" if they don't find me a Wii. Whatever. Something about a reward key that will be processed within 90 days....I know you can't see me but I don't have sucker written on my forehead.

I work at an electronics store, so anyone claiming to have websites that tell you when/where you can find them are full of it. We dont know if we are going to get any in each week until the day before they arrive. Nintendo is having manufacturing difficulties and I think that they slightly under-estimated the popularity of the Wii system at release time. At an very reasonable $250 it is basically an impulse buy for most people. We almost always have close to 100 Playstation 3's in stock, but they cost 3 times as much and you have to be going to the store looking for a PS3 to buy it. With the Wii, people just see it on the shelves, decide they have a little bit of extra money to spend, and pick one up even though they maybe only came in to buy a dvd or games for another system. I think that the low cost, high popularity, and manufacturing hiccups have just caused an overall shortage. You can find them, you just have to be dedicated to looking, or know someone inside the business that can give you a heads up on shipments.

They are hard to find because they sell out as fast as stores can put them on a shelf. They've been the hottest item since Christmas, and people like you are still going into stores every day to look for them.
You just have to be lucky.
Also, try going to the big stores like Target, ToysRUs and Best Buy on Sunday mornings when the Wii is advertised. You can still see people lined up to get them.
It's amazing.

because people are getting to buy them everyday cause its still the newest thing in games and systems but the real reason why the wiis are hard to find is cause the nintendo compeny has a low supply of them but the consumers want more of them so the nintendo compeny has a great demand of them but still low supply so the wiis are only in reasonable places where they can sell them
hope this works=)
