I already checked many stores to find a wii, but the only place I found one is in walmart, but it is an expensive bundle deal. Does anyone know where to find one without a bundle deal?

Do all walmarts sell bundles or just some? I was thinking about buying one from walmart, but if it's a bundle then I'll have to findone somewhere else.

Just be patient. Look for the weekend flyers in the mail. If you see a notice of wiis that means they will have them and you show up an hour to the store opening to get the vouchers. Who knows you may luck in to see a few units sitting on the shelf because no one else realizes they are there.

Well, I really hope those who buy Wiis to resell them on Ebay don't see this but then again for all I know they use this anyway. I found my Wii with this and they are right for every product I've tracked. Said that a local Circuit City had a few in stock, went there that morning and they said no, my dad went back that night and they said they'd have them the next morning. Turns out they were lying and stocking up on them for the next day, and even came up short so I assume they were allowing personal friends the chance to buy them from the back.

Just enter your zip code, it'll give you a list of products such as game consoles and the zune, click one and it'll give a list of store locations and if they are in stock or not. Keep in mind that grey shaded clocks next to the store means they've been there a while and are probably sold out. You can pay I think around a dollar to have them notify you of changes via your cellphone but you can just as easilly use your refresh button, hopefully it brings you the ease it brought me.

EDIT : Hardly worth mentioning, but you may have to sign up as well, nothing time consuming by any means, just your name and the user name and password you want, typical stuff.

Ebay will be your best bet. Wii's are nearly impossible to find in normal retail chains like Walmart, Target, Best Buy and others. I have spoken to employees at all of these stores and they all basically say the same thing.....When they do get any Wii's in, they are gone in5 minutes. It is pretty much being there when they put them out on the shelves!!! I got mine last week. I called my local EB Games to see if they had any. The manager told me that they hadnt had any in about a week or so. Then no more than 10 minutes later he called my cell to tell me they just got 3 in!!!

Only had to wait about two hours before Circuit City opened to get one, found out they would have the Wii in stock hours before anyone got their morning flier with their paper. Give Itrackr a shot, just remember to show up early.

I look in the ads in the weekends paper all the time but can't find a wii. I want to get mine before the end of June so internet is free.

Either way good luck to you, felt like I was going to go insane trying to find one, still though, I'm not sure if my interpretation of your last response was correct but Itrackr doesn't rely on receiving reports from those that have observed sales mags, they have sources with access to actual shipping logs for these stores so you'll know about it probably before the employees do and even at times when the product isn't even listed in a sales mag. Without it your only choices are to randomly show up at stores, call an unreliable employee, or get gipped on ebay. Again, good luck to you.
