Well, finally got my Wii today at Target. Lined up at 6:15 and was #13 in line and they got about 35. Yeah I know I'm retarded but where do I find out my Wii Online Code thingamajigger? Thanks.
I finally got mine!
Woke up at 5:30am, got to my closest Target at 6am. Saw people leaving. I went up to ask, they said that the employee came out and told them that they were only getting 1.
So I left and went to the 2nd closest Target, which was a Target Greatland. Got there around 6:05am, 1 guy waiting outside. Spoke to him, he was gonna get one for his son. Later I was hanging out around the employee entrance, and saw a few female workers inside. I knocked and asked about the Wii. The lady told me that they weren't getting any
I was confused, but didn't wanna take the risk of waiting and not getting one.
So I went to the 3rd closest Target. This one I'm sure they'll have it, because on Friday I went to ask, and they told me they'll get some on Sunday. I got there around 6:20am, already about 20 some people in front. The first few looked like they camped out overnight.
Waited until around 7am, some security old man came out and told us to get in a straight line, because the manager is coming out soon. Around 7:10am, 5 Target employees came out, with some stuffs in their hands. I heard people saying they had 46, and then it sounded like they had 4 or 6, it scared the heck out of me.
The manager lady started to go down the line, passing out her business card with a number on the back. There were a group of kids, about 5 or 6 people, and I was hoping for them to just get 1 as a group. Turned out they got 2. No big deal. My brother and I each got 1, numbered 21 and 22, and they had a total of 27.
What a relief. We left to get gas for my car, breakfast at Jack in the Box, and then came back around 7:55am. 8am comes, the door opens, and everyone walked to the video games department, where we went up to the register 1 by 1 to get the Wii. No wiimotes, no nunchucks in stock. Plenty of WarioWare, but I already bought that on Friday. Plus I got 3 Wiimotes at home waiting already, no problem! :lol:
Anyways, it's firmware updating now. Good luck people who haven't gotten one yet.

Got our Wii today! Yesterday I made my weekly pilgrimage to Best Buy, where the kid told me they actually had some in stock, but they were waiting to sell them on Sunday after the newspaper supplements came out. So my son and I headed to Best Buy at 6:45 in the cold and constant rain. No one else showed up until 7:15. By the time the store opened at 11:10 (not 11!), there were probably 50 people in line. Most showed up around 9 a.m.
I picked up the Wii from the center aisle and headed to the accessories area to get an additional controller and nunchuck. Immediately headed back to the checkout area - all of the Wii's (35) were gone.
We set it up easily, except for the wi-fi, which is more off than on :mad2: , and are enjoying Zelda as I type! :thumbsup:

I got my wii today at circuit city. I went on bestbuy's site and it said they opened at 11, so i go at 10:45 and guess what, it opened at 10. so i ask them and they said they sold the last wii and i head off to circuit city. its around 11 and they say they have 4 left but people reserved them with vouchers. its down to 1 wii at about 11:15 and this guy comes in with the voucher and offeres it to me. he said he'll sell it for 20 bucks so i say ok sure y not? then the manager comes and says u cant sell ur voucher, and he tells him u lost ur chance to get ur wii. he turns to me and says now u have it! i guess its my lucky day today
Finally
Got 2 today, I got to circut city with a coupon that I printed off the internet ($40 off)and only waited 10 min, before the maneger came out and handed us our coupons. It was still just over two hours till they opened since it was around 7:45. Went to Best Buy and waited 30 min. when we got the word that Target was open and had about 20 or 25 wii's and so we went there and bought one. Sat there for a while killing time and watching all the people come in for wii's and leaving disappointed as me and my two friends sat there with three wii's. Then we sat in our warm cars and when Circut City opened up me and only one of the two friends went in and bought our second wiis of the morning. Then we went to Dennys whereI enjoyed a satisfying and delicious extreme grandslam for only $5.99. Then i went home and slept for about 6-7 hours. Had my g/f call her brother and see if he wanted to buy a Wii and he did so I got the other one off my hands. All in all a great day!

Got one at Target yesterday, 116 consoles were sold and I was #79 in line. After getting there at around 6:30am, I didn't seem optimistic that I'd be getting one, but the couple behind me in line kept a positive attitude, so that lifted my spirits a little and eventually I did get one.
