Official 'I got a Wii' thread

Well, I know some people hate ebay. I so far have been lucky both selling and buying a lot of stuff. I know what to look out for and so far haven't been burned. Feedback on the seller was 100% on over 100 items, with great comments. Sort of like my feedback.

LOTs of pictures of the items.. all looked perfect. Also, I like to examine the backgrounds in the pictures to see what else is around and the house looked emaculate.. so that usually says something too.

Also, 2 minutes after purchase, he emailed me telling me he'd mail priority mail in the morning.

I try to tell people fedex ground is cheaper and faster (and you get tracking), but from WI to MN it will be here Friday for sure anyhow. :)
 
*scratches head* er... i got mine on the... 12th? of gameplay.com... they has a massive sign saying 'Wii In Stock' the next day i looked and it was gone... (i ordered the wii on the 10th at 8pm) and it came on the 12th was dispatched on the 11th (next day =D whoo!)...

Finnaly I got one!!

Got it last week. My gf's mom had to go get it though...it was at a store 3 hours away from where I was. I still haven't touched it...cuz I'm still away...but at least I got one waiting for me when come home!!! :D
 
I walked into best buy for an ink cartridge monday evening. While I was there I asked "When you get Wiis, will they be in this display case with the other consoles so I won't have to ask about them?" The guys said "no they won't...but we got some in this morning". I got the last one.

Woot!

Well done!! :) Hope you have fun playing it.

I got Wii Play ($5 "game" with the purchase of the controller as I see it), and Raving Rabbits. With those and Wii Sports, I'm having an absolute blast. My right arm is quite sore from all the Wiimoting. :p My wife beat me at tennis and I beat her at bowling (by one point: 116 - 117).

I'm hoping best buy will have more controllers/nunchucks in stock by this weekend since we're having people over. They were out of everything but Wii Play as far as controllers go. There are a couple of them around here though.
 
Check Target.. our local target had like 15 remotes and 10 chucks. No wiis for the past month though.
 
Well, I'm going the best-buy card route at the moment for the Wii stuff. CHARGE IT! :p

I just called a best buy near me and they have 7 remotes and 2 chucks. I can grab a chuck somewhere else if one of them sells before I get there after work... Not much chance of 6+ motes selling before 5 today. The REAL close best buy had a bunch of them until they got a shipment of wiis in on monday.

If it came down to it and I NEEDED some remotes and couldn't find them (for the company we're having this weekend), all the best buys have several copies of wii play. It's only $5 extra that way and I can find a couple friends who don't have Wii play yet to give the games to.

Hi everyone, I am in too, got mine on Monday (4/16) from Best Buy.

Nice :-D It's great isn't it? I think a lot of BB's got them on monday. At least around DFW, TX.
 
Yes, got my wii at Toysrus. Was the 5th person in line and they had 20.

Happy gaming to all!
 
Idk how she did it, but my mom managed to find one around last Thanksgiving, I guess it was pure luck she went to Toys R' Us and they had it. What was gay though, was that my friend works at Gamestop, and she went in there to buy us stuff for it for Christmas, and he didn't tell me that he knew I was getting one. Nearly shat myself Christmas morning :D
