If you really want one, you really gotta be dedicated in searching for it.
1. Try going to a Gamestop or EB games store during tues. weds. thurs. NOT FRIDAY- SUNDAY
(By the weekend there always sold out of Wii's and all gamestops get there shipments of Wiis randomly during the week in the afternoon and then sell out within the first 2 days).
2. Ask for a manager or asst. manager and ask if they can "locate you the nearest store that has wii's available." (store manager's can look up on the computer to check other store's inventory and how far away they are)
They will tell you the nearest stores that has them in stock and even how close they are to your zip code.
3. Ask for the phone numbers of those stores and call them and ask for them to hold a Wii for you if your willing to drive their that day. They can't hold Wii's overnight however, so you should give yourself some free time to search for the Wii.
The Gamestop or EB Games Wii's sell for $249.99 and comes with Wii sports and 1 wiimote with a nunchuck.
Hope this helps :-)

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.

Have you checked your local listings in Craigslist.org? I always see hard to get Christmas items on there. You might pay a little more than you would at a store, but at least you know you're getting it.
