My brother in law got one for Christmas. My wife totally loved it. I'm now on the hunt for one. I really wasn't in to getting one until now. But no one has any at the moment and I'm not desperate enough to buy a $500 bundle or anything overpriced on the internet. Wish me luck in the search.

I now I'll sound stupid, but the Wii is so much better than I expected when I opened It, and hooked it up this Christmas. I only own Twilight Princess, but it is amazing. If only I could have picked one up earlier. I was too broke from my original PS3 last January lol. I'm going to Wii for weeks now lmao.

I just bought one for one of my friends...and i already have my own Wii. I was actually shocked to find one, but i guess this will make my friend really happy and christmas is all about giving. Good luck to all the others still hunting for one, because it can be done.

Wiis are probably the most missed supply/demand margin ever. Either this is Nintendo's plan, to keep people waiting so they can get it so that not everyone has one, thus making it not "so yesterday", or Nintendo has manufacturing issues. I wanted a Wii in May for my birthday, and i got it in September. Many people didn'tget a Wii because kids generally take the holidays as the time to ask for the most expensive gifts, so many people went to get a Wii. A lot of kids were probably disappointed that they didn't get one.

I've had one since February. I had told my mom that I wanted one, but the thing is, she didn't tell me she was going to get one that day. She just woke up at about 5:30 or 6:00 one Sunday morning and decided to go see if she could reserve one. :P It was very sweet of her, I'm thankful that she did that for me. :)

The only reason I got a new one for the holidays was cause my previous one was stolen in the summer x_x

Me and 2 of my brothers recieve one (not 3 lol). I can't really get all that into it. Metroid is somewhat addicting as is Zelda. Mario galaxy is aight in my standards. My brother works at Best Buy so getting a Wii wasn't too hard (they save some for the employees except sometimes they are Evil and give the employees away...). I casually play wii, but not as often as another system.

Im more of a hardcore gamer on a different system-wont list here due to not wanting to get moderatedtionismed but look at my profile and its obvious.

Good luck to all Wii hopefuls!

Already had a Wii. Got it last June. But I did get some new games for it for Christmas: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Super Mario Galaxy, and Guitar Hero III. I'm going to night to use whats left of my Christmas money to get Medal of Honor Heroes 2 so I can have something to go online with other than GHIII because at the moment, I'm not very good. So to those who are still waiting, hang in there.

Dude calm down. Why did you even hit it in the first place? Because that's not a really good move It seems like you destroyed it yourself don't blame nintendo for your own mishap. I'm talking to lotus_story. Plus the word "wii" means two in japanese Nintendo is from japan you know. I'm sorry but what you said about the word was extremely uncalled for.

I got one for christmas :D

My wife got me one for Christmas. She paid more for it than retail, but we didn't really care. At least I have one!
