All I need to know is if there is a way to find out if a store has them before I go.
What day do I go (I heard sunday is when most stores get more) ?
Is there any way to find out if they have any left before I go?
Should I find out what time they open and go right then?
What stores have some left even if I go later in the day?
Thank you for you answers and...time..I guess.

call the store, and get there as soon as it opens.  the longer you wait the less likely you are to get one.  its as simple as that

why not just go to a best buy or target or walmart, bigger stores, oftentimes bigger shipments.

Good Idea, But since they are a bigger store that means there will be more people going there to get a wii right? I think I will go with walmart they've never let me down...unlike best buy.

yea bestbuy is a pain. I tend to dislike them.  

shouldnt be taht bad, most people go to gaming stores to buy gaming stuff.   but i always hear of walmarts getting much larger shipments than EB games and such..  just try, keep calling them, and pay attention, you should be able to get one.

Try Wal-Mart or GameStop on Tuesdays. I believe that is when they put out their electronic shipments. I got my Wii on Tuesday at GS.

Wii is still sold out? Holy. Try going to somewhere most people don't think of, like a grocery store that also has an electronics department. Most places here get shipments on Wednesdays/Thursdays. I'd just go in and ask your specific store.

yeah I guess I'm going to try to call around today and see if anyone has them. Oh and by the way whenever I said gamespot I meant gamestop...god could they make it any more confusing.
EDIT: One more thing I have twilight princess for gamecube so what game should I get? I was thinking excite truck or maybe SSX and warioware looks too weird for me.

You're also in with a better chance if you go somewhere a bit rural. A costco, bestbuy, target or walmart out in the sticks will give you a fighting chance. If like me, you live in a thriving area with lots of development, the competition will be that much harder. There's slightly less demand elsewhere. I had been trying for weeks to get Wii at my local Target, but there was always a huge line before opening. Then a friend stumbled across one in a costco out of town and called me. Astonishingly to me, this was at 6pm.

Call Wal-Mart/K-Mart and ask them when their next shipment of Wii's are expected, then on the day they give, go there when the store opens and line up. When the truck comes in, you will get your wii.

Thats what I had to do, only at the time Wal-mart didnt know when they would get in, so I had to line-up every day for 2 weeks.

Get SSX, if you have a lot of friends over fairly often, get WarioWare. It's an insane party game. Also try sonic and the secret rings, trauma center, and i guess if your not tired of racing games yet...excite truck.
