got mine for xmas. dad found one ebay (one of those guys selling it for extremely large amount to make profit), but my dad actually knew the guy and got hi to lower it to retail price.
Got 2 on December 10th From Comet that they had reserved for someone else, Got 2 more from Tesco on December 17th, And got another from Gamestation on December 21st.
Me and my girlfriend camped out at a bestbuy from 10pm on the 16th to 8am on the 7th. They had 18 wiis and were numbers 15 and 16 in line. As soon as we bought the second wii we sold it in the parking lot for $500.
So you got it, I got my wii for free basically. (besides standing in line, but that was totally worth it and pretty fun)
