Is it still impossible to find a wii for sale?

I'm thinking about buying a Wii, and just wondering if you still can't get one without a pre-order.  I see PS3s all over the place, but I have yet to see a single Wii on a store shelf.

I work in a target...in australia. Yeh we do finally have wiis in a decent number in stock, for ages the staff were buyign them before they hit shelves(myself included :p) . We just got PS3s in, we only sold 3 of the 4 we got in. I spose australia isnt too big on the PS3...

I work at Zellers in Canada, and this week they're taking a certain number of pre-purchases, so it guarantees that you'll get one in a week or two....

So if you live in Canada, run down to your local Zellers to pre-purchase :)

I've been hunting for one for my girlfriends little brother recently, and haven't had any luck.

It's one of those things you simply have to get lucky with, you have to be persistent and willing to go store to store to store everyday in order to find one. Back in January that's what I did, and I was lucky enough to find one in a Wal*Mart on a random Thursday afternoon.

I saw three Wiis on shelves for the first time ever yesterday at a little used movie/video game store outside of Dallas, TX.

I would have got it and sold it on eBay, but I didn't have the money, plus I already have a Wii.

(If you're really really looking for one and you're in the Dallas area, I suppose I could PM you the details!)

I've been looking for my Wii for the last month now. For 4 weeks ive been calling shops, if they had any to puth aside for me to come and get it, walked in and out stores every weekend...I now even call the shops at 10oclock in the morning when they get their shipment of new products, just to check if they have a wii between there somewhere.

 No luck after 4 weeks, and counting.

I dont think the Wii is hard to get because its sold out everywhere, its hard to get because nintendo made way to few. Period...

Apparantly some Toys R Us stores get pretty regular (every other week) shipments of Wiis on Sunday mornings.   Also heres a good forum thread for Wii hunters:

 I just got a Wii this weekend at Circuit City.  Apparantly all circuit city stores got a shipment in this sunday.  This thread really helped.

Does anyone know when Target or Wallmart receive shipments?

You would need to call the Target and Walmart stores to ask them but I know that Best Buy holds there shipments in the back and doesn't put anything out until Sunday morning. Check the Sunday ads though. If they have a Wii in the print ad, they have to have them in the store on Sunday morning.

I just got back from my local WalMart and they also have a Wii in stock. That means over by where I am there's at least 4 Wiis in a 6-minute trip from each other. Not too bad.

I don't think it's impossible to find a Wii if you know where to look/ask around. Of course, maybe that's just because I'm in a fairly small town, I'm sure if you were in a big city it might be a little harder.

That's the best advice.
