No matter where I look outside or on the net, they're never in stock.

I've finally saved enough money for one but now I'm bummed cause I dunno where to go for one.

Any advice?

You may have to wait outside a store in the morning for one, or get real lucky.

Talk to the clerks at the store and find out what day their shipments come in. Be there that morning if possible. I got mine from K- mart. They only get maybe 2 each shipment. I put mine in layaway just to "secure" the console, then got it out 3 days later. lol!

I wish you luck man. :D

They are a pretty hot item... you will probably have to show up early to a store on the day that they get their shipment.

Totally! Seeing as stores dont receive shipmeants on the weekend...

 

I work at a electronics store and we literally sell out within an hour that we get them in. I would suggest checking out wallmart or costco, the are the power house of shipments. Our store gets 10 in at a time, they get 100. Calling on a Wed. or Thurs.  is probally your best bet to see if they have any.

Not in Portugal, it's easy to find one here... but there's almost no publicity to the wii, the first time i saw a commercial on tv was yesterday and it was a short one.

i live in ohio, and i cant find any. i checked everywhere, every once in a while i check again. none of the stores know when they are getting one, so they tell me to check around lunch time, which would directly interfere with school. and there's bestbuy, which sells them on sunday. but im busy then, so i probably wont be getting one until later in the summer. hope that makes you feel better.

The last few time sI have gone shopping I saw over 20 Wiis at Walmart and about 10 at EB Games. The EB manager said the "rush" is now over in my city and they can actually maintain stock now, however they still don't have consistent shipments.

If you live in Ontario Canada then try Toys R Us. They get WEEKLY shipments.

The best option now is to frequent your local gaming store, try to figure out when their shipments arrive. I, myself, got lucky to be at my store at the moment they received a shipment of three Wiis. I was even luckier because it was back in December. Another option is any number of popular auction sites, if you don't mind paying higher than retail. Good luck and happy hunting!
