I've only seen a Wii for sale once. I doubt it lasted for more than a day.

The Wii is strongly region locked, so unless you want to play alot of Japanese games than don't get it from Tokyo.:P

In my area (Maryland), they are impossible to find. People still wait early in the morning for them. I was planning on getting one for my nephew's birthday next month but now looks like I may just get him a DS.

I think it's still popular in my country and it is unlikely that they have some in stock as a colleague of mine said that he searched the whole city in hopes for a glimpse of the Wii and purchasing it. He ended up in a store after some hours who luckily sold him the last Wii. Either pre-order or wait quite a while until it's restocked again. I'm not that much in a rush to get a Wii, so I'll go for the second option.

You can buy one online now for around $310-$340. Its not too extreme of a markup. If you get lucky you might find 1 or 2 in the shelfs in some stores.

After I made my post on page one I called around the walmarts around me and one of them actually had recieved 12. Only one was sold today so that made it 11 in stock and by the time we rushed over they still had 11! Wow talk about lucky, the place wasn't busy at all. The reason I even thought about trying walmart was that their website actually had the bundle in stock finally.

Best buy and circuit city have been running ad's that they have a few in stock (seems like each week). I think if you really try you can get one at face value.
