Tha nks for everyone in this thread including dds for the tips etc. Good luck to everyone else's hunt.

P.S. i tried to buy 2 but they wouldnt let me. I woulda sold to someone local for the retail price. I hate all these ebayers!

I picked up my Wii yesterday a.m. from Best Buy in Mississauga (Heartland). I was told that they received 18 units. The funny thing is is that there was only three or four of us waiting as the doors opened!

A BB employee told me that they are no longer holding their shipments until Fridays. They now put them out the morning following receiving them (usually the previous evening).

My advice is to concentrate on your local BB store and hit them at opening. Chances are you'll get lucky if you do this a few mornings in a row.

Good luck!

Lucky. I went there last Friday to be turned down as the 26th person out of 25. If you hear word of any shipments from there, I'd be more than glad to know.

got my wii at 10:30 am yesterday at walmart!!!! They got 5 in, and there was 3 when i got there, and as i was waiting for an employee to open the case, 2 people walked up and waited behind me. I got my 360 at the same walmart last year when the demand was high for them too. Its funny because while searching for wiis yesterday I came across propably 30-50 PS3 and about 30-40 of them were 60 gig.

I don't know anything about how Future Shop work in Vancouver, but the one near me recieves Wii's from either Purolator or Fedex. Deliveries happen on random days I guess, but the timeframe is usually around noon to 13:30pm. Also, I was chatting with one of the employees and he told me that even when they recieved some wii's, they didn't put them 'on the floor', they waited for people to go and ask them about it. Walked in, told one of the employees that I had just seen a purolator truck pass by, so I asked him if he could check that shipment. No luck on Wii's, but had a ton on movies that were going to be on sale the next week. So you really have to ask them to check through the shipments.

Tell me about it, and I live in a dorm there so it's pretty much going to be impossible for me to go looking for one unless I hire someone.

Futureshop in Burlington seems to get them around 9-11am, as before I was able to find one as BB, I kept missing out when going at 10:30-11am.
They also said they don't put them on the floor.
They do put the accessories out, so if you see a ton of wiimotes and the like, ask.

I just called BB Cambie, and they said they weren't getting any.. And I was going to camp out.. Is that true that BB Cambie isn't getting any?

I got my Wii today as well...I see many of you did. Hang in there Esco, you'll get one sooner or later.

I was working at my local No Frills when I saw the UPS truck outside (about 10 am). I decided it would be a good time to take a break so I went over to electronics to see if they had brought in any Wiis. They said they did not, but the driver said he's going to Walmart next, but was unsure if there was any Wiis. Being stuck at work, I called my Dad and told him to get over to Walmart, where they had in fact delivered some. Been playing Wii Sports for a few hours now. Lots of fun.

Thanks to all those who participated in this thread. Keep on searching those of you who don't already have one.
