Official 'I got a Wii' thread

[cowbell1]

Today (12-30-06) I went to Best Buy, Circuit City, ToysRus, Ebgames, gamestop, target and my mom was out by Walmart and Sams club so she went in to see if they have any. And guess what.....NO WIIS!!!!

I'm so pissed off. But today was my first day doing this so I am going to hit up target tomorrow at 8am. Bestbuy at 10am then work my way north back to my home and on the way going.....

Bestbuy>Circuit City>Calling EB and Gamestop while running into ToysRus, then hopefully I'll get a Wii in my hand with 3 games which will include LOZ:TP, Madden and Trauma Center.

Wish me luck please!

And I found it funny that Bestbuy didn't have any PS3s but Target had like 4 when I went in there.

I have been looking for a Wii since it was released. I've had my share of close calls and missed opportunities. Last Friday I made my usual rounds at 8:00 a.m. and low and behold Target had 12 Wii just stacked sitting in the electronics department. Of course I got one. I called a friend of mine to give her the tip and she missed them by 2 minutes.

Here's where it gets interesting. I'm in the same store at about 2:00 that same day and of course no Wiis to be seen. We're in there about 20 minutes and as we leave, I take another glance at the display cabinet and there is one Wii sitting in there. My wife snaps that one up to give to our friend that missed it that morning. I guess it just goes to show timeing is everything!!

I got a wii on the 28th. It was so weird I walked into Future Shop and I was like do u have any Wiis? and theyre like yeah we just got 15 in 5 mins ago. So I was like GRAB ME ONE and then someone heard us and then all of a sudden there was 20 people around me fighting for the other 15 wiis and had to get in a lineup. Wow I also snagged an extra 3 WiiMotes off the shelf before people could grab them because there was only 5 there. I thought another game would be good to so I bought Zelda too. Good Day.

We finally got our Wii this weekend We've been looking for a few weeks, and had a few half hearted attempts at going into stores at 7am to see if they have any, along with staying up until the end of Saturday Night Live to check the Bestbuy/Target ads for the week. WalMart did manage to really annoy me, we were there one Saturday afternoon, and the sales guy says that they have like 50 Wii's in stock but then he tells me that they're not selling them until the 6th December and that I can come back at 5am on that day, some kind of 2nd release per their corporate office. Considering the console had already been released and was being sold elsewhere, I was not a happy bunny at being told that! :incazzato: In the end it was all rather easy, my husband has a friend who collects Hot Wheels, and he called us on Friday morning at 7am to say he was in Fred Meyers and had a Wii in his hands - he picked it up for us. Who knew that Hot Wheels collection could come in so useful? :crazy:

Good luck to all those who are still trying to find their Wii's!

Got my Wii on thursday.
Walked into an EB Games store to buy an Xbox 360 Game. Seen a kid with Wii, asked if they had more, they had just come in.

Walked out with a Wii & 3 games. LOL
Now i finaly found another Wii Mote, can't find any nunchucks thoe. hehe

 

[Jatycre]

Nunchucks are the hardest thing to find. Well except for maybe the Wii itself. I was able to score an extra remote the same day I go the Wii, but I still haven't been able to get ahold of another Nunchuck. Good look on finding one, and welcome to the Wii owners club lol.

 

[Wiiconnaissance]

I was one of the crazy ones...

After seeing the short demand for PS3's, I told myself I wasn't going to shortfall myself from a Wii, so I stood in line for 10 hours and got the 9th system of 21. I've been enjoying it since... oh, life is grand!

I actualy ordered a Nunchuck from Nintendo.com.
They ship to canada, wich i was impressed with. so if i don't find one in stores this week, ill have one next week for 3$ more then what i would pay with FULL tax here after the shipping charges from Nintendo.
