i just got a wii today
Gaz
Poker Face :D
My parents where fool's, they pre-ordered it for me, for a christmas present, and then they kept telling me it hadn't come, and low and behold, on christmas day i got it.
ahh i finally got my wii, by extreme luck too. I hit up target at like 2 p.m, they had not gotten any since wensday, so i go in the car discouraged when my dad mentions we could try gamestop since it was on the way home, i knew i had no chance since by the time i got there itt was 2:45. I told the lady behind the counter, you guys dont have wiis, right?, and shes like yup we do, i got the last one out of three that had arrived at about 1, I am still stunned.

I reserved mine at a EB Games about a month before the launch. I was 2nd in line and there were 9 systems, so I thanked God that my alarm clock finally worked right and got me up that day. I picked it up Nov. 19th, but I had to wait til Christmas to open it up and play it. My mother threatened me not to open it or she would sell it on Ebay lol. But after waiting I'm glad to say that it is awesome. I love my Nintendo Wii.

I got a Wii! I just walked into my local Target and saw one in the secrurity case. I was like OMG!!! I asked the man "Is that an actual Wii Console?" he said "Yes, do you want it?" Saw I walked out with the Wii under my arm. Got home and it is awesome!
Yeah, I got one DBZ: Budokai: Tenkaichi 2 (the combat is actually very entertaining is your not a fan of the series) and Zelda: Twilight Princess. The whole thin is just awsome. Did I mention I just decided to call my local gamestop if they got any in and the guy said I just got 3 in, I rushed down to the mall, it took like 10 min. and he still had 2 left. I was the happiest person in the world at that moment I think...
I picked mine up on Wednesday! Walked into Best Buy pretty much resigned to not finding a Wii until some time after the new year, looking for something for my PSP when I saw them stocking the "cage" (they keep all the consoles locked up!) with brand new Wii's. I asked if they were for sale and when I got an affirmative, I immediately grabbed one along with Zelda and Metal Slug Anthology.
I had no luck finding extra controllers the rest of the week until tonight when I randomly stopped by my local Wal-Mart and saw that they had gotten restock. Picked up a second Wii-mote with Nunchuk, along with 2 classic controllers. Life is good!

After reading WiiChat for a few weeks, I FINALLY got a Wii!
Haha I found out about iTrackr, and it said I had a Target in my area that just got a shipment. Me and my Dad drove down to Target, and we asked the electronics guy about the Wii. He said that Best Buy down the street just got a shipment, and we and 5 other people drove as fast as we could down to Best Buy. They had 5 in the back.
Then we bought one.
My life is now complete.

I finally got mine yesterday so I'm posting under this name instead of "wiihope" which is my other board name here which I used while finding it
I told the story in the "Search" thread but basically I ended up getting it at a GameStop as I was there when their UPS truck pulled up. This was after weeks of searching.
Here's my count:
Calls to stores: Maybe 4 (I didn't trust calling)
Visits to stores: Over 20 (Visited many locations more than once)
Types of stores visited: 1 Toys R Us, 1 Sears, 1 Kmart, 1 Frys, 1 Circuit City, 1 CompUSA, 2 Best Buys, 2 Walmarts, 3 Targets, 4 EB Games/Gamestops (I did a LOT of driving)
