so i live in central MA and i thought there would be a good amount of wii's coming to the area, boy was i wrong none of the stores around here(walmart, bestbuy, target) had more then 20 wii's so im stuck without a wii . And if anyone has an idea of when second shipments might be coming in, wants to sell one they got or if there is some online store that still has'm in stock that would be great thanks or any help

could wait on ebay a few days, maybe theyll go down like pS3 did

give it a few days... im sure shipments will come rolling in.

yeah second shipments are expected within days for the wii's. DO NOT give in and pay mor ethan you should.

Agreed. I jumped in and preordered the $650 bundle from Walmart but luckily I'll be able to return the 6 games I don't want in store.

I read somewhere that Nintendo hopes to have enough so that 7 out of 10 kids could own one by the first of the new year. (4 million selling goal) Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Just keep checking every couple days or so, I'm sure you'll find one sooner than you think.

Side note, if you'll notice the high prices on ebay, probably 80% or greater are from new ebay users or users with less than 3 feedback. Looks like the same genre of people who spike the PS3 auctions and don't pay are doing the same thing for the Wii.

I'm in Massachusetts, and happen to have an extra Wii.

I was told one week. (electronics boutique)

The best buy location I checked sold 110.

where in mass are you? i camped out at the woburn target last night, they had 120 systems and i had no issues getting one. i got in line around 8pm and got my system around 8am

I guess I got sort of lucky with mine. I showed up at a Best Buy in Cambridge at 6 AM, got my Wii by 10.

im in framingham and the best buy here had a line of over 75 people so i went on to cirsuit city where the line was much shorter so i thought id have a better shot but it turns out the circuit city only got 17 in and i was # 28. So im still looking and hopefully it won't be to long.

Haha I managed to get two of them. Me and my friends camped out and got the top 10 spots in line, even though only 5 of us were only getting one. I had my brother get me a second one and its going on eBay. My friend sold his ticket to some guy that came at the last minute for $120. I guess thats what we get for arriving at Wal Mart at 7 AM. Wii also had a tent.

i hear that there might be a second shipment as soon as tomorrow, however i called my local stores and they dunno when they're gonna get another shippment

I am not sure if this is accurate but I just checked the walmart site and it already says it has the 600$ bundle in stock! So I guess it will be easier then you initially thought I am thinking of getting one for Christmas anyways so good luck to us all

that sucks i actually called bestbuys since i had a gift certificate, but they said they had a line out front and wouldn't say how many systems they had, i actually went to target specifically because the store itself told me how many they would have.

I waited in line for about an hour and a half,they give us a ticket,came back at 12:00am,and got a Wii.
Store are getting Wii's in all the time.

has anyone heard any news on shipments coming soon, i've heard rummers but no hard evidence

At the time of this writing, walmart has them in stock But I guess stores are getting them randomly but on the news the lady said the companys are expecting to supply the demand of the Wii's by next year so it shouldn't be to much longer Im gona go try and see if any stores have them in stock toamrrow How come gamestop or bestbuy won't update there site already? Gamestop still has the stupid thing saying they ran out of preoders

No shops around here even have the remotes. I figured it would be OK to come back later and buy a second remote, but I was wrong.

Everything is off the shelves. Our Walmart even limited the purchase of extra controllers to 1.

i offer you guys 2 brand new ipod nanos for a wii!!! i cant seem to find them anywhre near mii, well i hope you guys enjoys your wii's......but seriously think about the offer

Walmart on 12/6 get there EARLY!!! I got mine yesterday at toys r us. Me and my boy got there at 7am they said that they would have them at 9am. They were sold out by 730 because they gave out numbers to people that were in line.

I used this nifty tool to find one. I picked up a Wii at Toys R us yesterday

Wii Seeker

nice post ^^ very helpful

this site is decent

Wii Tracker

I stopped by Wal-Mart on my way to work this morning and there was a line of about 20 people. If I would have come a little earlier I would have probably gotten a Wii, depending on how long those people were in line. Anyway, I'll keep checking WiiSeeker and WiiTracker until I hopefully get one. Thanks for the links!

Wow that sux. Im glad im sittin on 4 wii systems at the moment. One is my wifes, one is my cousins i got for him, another is for my dad that my mom is getting him and one i just listed on ebay My wifes mom works at walmart and somehow she got us some rain checks. Just picked up the 3 systems yesterday.

Haha I walked into my local Big W store at 10 to 9 yesterday morning to pick up my wii. I walked in and asked for a wii (I didnt preorder because all the shops finished the preorder deals a week ago) and the lady there got me a wii, then cracked open the box containing the games. It was that easy lol

I love my wii now.....dare i say it.....almost more than my 360. I love Wii sports lol im hooked on the tennis.

add you # to the list then Jimmy

Jimmy, like your Wii60 avatar!

Thanks lol i like it aswell lol.

@SR388, im assuming you mean the freind code thing? I would, but i can get on the net anyways, dad wont tell me the stupid WEP key so i can use the router.....stupid tightass parnets...

Just tell him to set it up for you then.

I heard that the next big shipment for the Wii will be on the 17th. Has anyone else heard and/or confirmed this rumor? If it's true, I will plan on being at the nearest Target pretty early this Sunday.

I'm pretty much hearing the same thing, looks like Sunday might be last chance to get one. I've seen rumors that Target and Bestbuy will sell them Sunday. And today Gamestop told me Sunday. I don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing if everyone sells them on the same day. I'll probably go wait at Target and if I miss out there I'll go to the mall and check the gamestop and ebgames in there. Maybe by Friday or Saturday they'll know more and maybe how many they're getting.

One of my Targets here confirmed that they are getting more systems on the 17th.

if thats this sunday, same here.

another line, another missed chance im guessing. i camped once, and got mine, but my niece is still without one, going to be a shame if i have to give mine up :/

ive heard the same the 17th seems to be the day, and it seems odd to me of everyone getting shipment on the same day but i guess more stores gettingem means better chance to get one as long as you choose the right store

I work for Target. It was confirmed yesterday that all stores will have the Wii available on the 17th. Also, don't let stores screw you over; Wiis come in packs of 3, so if someone said their shipment was something that's not a multiple of 3, they're probably rounding or bullshitting you.
