I went to places like Games 4 Less & Hollywood Video's GameCrazy to buy a Wii. What pissed me off though was that they were jackin' up the retail price of the Wii to $350 to $399. They were trying to sell their overstocked Spiderman 3 games along with it, there was no other way around it. I tried Target but they are always sold out.

Nintendo cant keep up with consumers they didn't expect this sale its the most sold video game console in the world i think i heard it on TV or some thin but the few that are left on the Internet or in stores the shops are adding bundles of games to it that's why its so much because they want to make you buy a bundle of crap games and they're making more profit around Christmas's time stores are that's why their in massive bundles but u have to wait til January until you can buy them on their own with one or two games with it

Don't bother trying to call any stores, the best thing to know is where to look, talk to some people in stores, some of em are really cool and will let you know when the shipments come in. Toys R' Us frequently gets a short amount every week, can't say what day but Sundays are quite common. Good luck! Btw...if your willing to buy a Wii for "jacked up prices" I'd say go with a PS3 instead XD

Every sunday at 8:00am toys r us opens sometimes at 7:45am just to let people buy the wii's so you need to camp out at toys r us at least from 1am in the morining to 7:45am beacause i did two weeks ago i waz 3rd in line and they handed out vouchers so u can get 1. they only had 36 of them and i got in line at 8:45 pm so i suggest to u to get in line at least by midnight and the latest by 1 beacause they sent about 70 people home with out an wii and some of them were standing in line since 4am so get there early. the 1st people in line were standing in line since 12pm noon so yea get in line its the only way u will get 1 unless u wanna get riped off by ebay so hope it helps u can call toys r us on saturday and ask them how many they are gonna have for sunday morning shipment so u can get 1... hope this helps u ( = AND O YEA..... if i waz u i would buy 2 like i did i sold 1 on ebay for 500 dollars and so its like i got an wii for free beacause it cost $250 and i bought another 1 which was $250. And o yea bring someone with you beacause if u dont u will only be able to buy 1 beacause it is 1 per person so good luck to u its not as bad as it sound just to tell you its pretty fun watching people get drunck and yell at cars at 3 in the morning! good luck and have a good christmas!!! hope u get ur wii ( =

all the shops merchandising Wii, will maximum possibly no longer have a physically powerful cargo till the 4th - twelfth of january. considering which you're in la, there is so plenty extra human beings there desiring the Wii by utilising ratio, and could be EXTREMLY no longer straight forward to get.

Hi, try going to Itrackr.com. Make an account at this site and then put in your zip code(The account is free). After you do all of this, search the wii in the search box and then it will tell you what stores near you have the wii. I searched for my wii everywhere. Then someone told me about this site and the site told me that they had a wii in stock in a local store near me. This is how I got my wii. Good luck! I hope this works.

Learn "conversational hypnosis!" That way, when you spot the last Wii, before the other guy realizes what actually happened, you'll be home playing virtual golf, while he's still back at the store clucking like a chicken!

If you go to a GameStop on Dec 20 or 21, you can pay $250 for a Wii and you will be given a certificate which guarantees you a Wii some time in January, its called a Wii Raincheck. you won't get it for christmas but you will at least get one.
