Hey all, my sons birthday is ina couple weeks. I'd thought by march Nintendo would have saturated the market by now, but I simply cannot find any Wiis. I'd really like to not buy off Ebay. Could I start a thread asking what state.province you live in and if you've seen any Wiis in stock?

Ideally I'd just go to Detroit (Windsor here) and hit every Target/Walmart/EB/GS whatever, but by the time I've found once I might have just bought one of EBay

Also, I phoned all the local stores last week and no one got a shipment like they normally do. the EBs here say Mon-Wed, but I'm curoius if someplaces are getting more regular shipments.

Thanks guys!

The best thing to do is Pre Order one at your local Console store.. Mainly Console stores get big batches compaired to normal shops (Eg the local Gamestation store near me in the UK were getting 30 - 40 Wiis in per a week compaired to the 2 or 3 per a week that other shops were getting in...

I got one on launch day but I do know two other people who want to get their hands on them and who also cant find them anywhere! Quite surprising since the console has been out all most 3 months already!

Nice subject title btw lol.


May the NFOrce be with you always.

I know there are alot of people that are running scripts for online sites for bestbuy and others. A friend of mine uses a script that reports when best buy gets new wii stock, and it automatically adds it to his check out. This script is quite simple and common, so i bet there are more people doing it.

Do what steve-o says, per order it in person, at your local game store.

apparently if you dont pre order expect to wait untill summer for Stores to have constant stock in... Anyway, even if you do pre order but get one from somewhere else you can cancel your pre order...

Search Google for "Wii Stock" and it will bring some sites up that let you know when Wii's are instock from a range of different online stores..

Wow thanks for those links!! Very Happy

As for the pre-order, I've tried. "Here's the $300 (or whatever), just call me when you get one" - "Oh sorry sir, we don't do that here." grrr. I don't care if I'm number 1000 on a pre-order list, at least I know I'm on the list. Calling every day to see if the UPS truck showed up or not is getting very tiring.

Thanks for the tips though, I knew this'd be the place to ask Very Happy


i can has computar?!
