The Canadian Wii Finder *Revived w/ a new title*

Most shipments near toronto are mostly coming in the weekdays where schools and jobs begin. My mom had to go during work break at zellers to get it. My other friends got from futureshop during thier mom's work breaks to get it. Even though it isn't easy but it's getting easier to get.
 
Hey - I registered here after searching for shipment info online, and found you guys.

I can confirm the fact that Best Buy had Wii's on the 29th/30th, but I can add something to the discussion.

The employee I spoke with at Best Buy in Oakville yesterday told me that they have them sitting in their warehouses, then release them to stores a little at a time, and allocate a chunk of them for online.

He told me that online, the policy is to release them on the hour. So, last Monday all Best Buys in Ontario had Wii's and put them out at 2:00 PM, and online they were available right at 12:00 PM, not 12:15, not 12:40...always on the hour.

I asked him what my best strategy was to find one, and he said just keep checking random days on the hour (sheesh).

Obviously this doesn't help anyone right now, but understanding Best Buy's release strategy could help. Anyone have any more info on TRU on a week from tomorrow? Is that just for the States or here as well?

I haven't seen any in Ottawa, Ontario. However, I did manage to order one from Toysrus.ca. I totally lucked out. I check the site everyday and 2 weeks ago it actually had the "Add to cart" button. I couldn't believe it. I clicked on the icon which shows info and in store status and it said out of stock. I thought I had missed it, but clicked back, add to cart, and the order went through. However, it is backordered and I got an email saying it should ship next week. I'm just happy to finally have one coming. I don't know why the online stores don't all accept orders with the understanding that they will ship them when they get them.

The moral, check those websites everyday. You might get lucky.

did u have to buy the bundle or did u just get the wii
 
usually at futureshop.ca there is no bundle. It pops out on the site once in a while. I read 3 times on tis thread that there was some but by the time I got on the site it was too late. I would not count on that to get a WII....

No bundle, just the wii.

By the way, they emailed and said they will have more stock the week of Feb. 5 (my wii is backordered) so you might want to check toysrus.ca regularly this week. They might put more online if they get more than enough to fill backorders. It's worth a shot.

Good luck.

Ya, they take it off the wii section every now and then. Probably to stop the web bots from hammering their site or something. Just keep checking the wii section. When they have some, it will be there.
