They're still selling out all the time where I live. No one's still camping out for them or anything, though.

I got my in April, and it was a stroke of luck. I was in ordering a game, and I asked, and they had 3 in stock. So, yeah, they are still really hard to find.

I got mine when everybody was grabbing them, in December. I went up to Walmart just to buy some groceries, I decided to stop at the game section, and they had one left. I couldn't have been more happier.

Where I live, there's absolutely none left. But some people I know from other places are saying that their stores still have about 1-3 in stock.

If anyone in the US is thinking of importing one from the UK, that's a bad idea. It won't display on a US television, and US games won't play on it either.

We know this.

I was merely stating that they are really easy to find in the UK.

However, Liverpool has imported A LOT of NTSC Wii consoles.

They didn't sell them at launch, and they won't now. But then you've got P&P, VAT and customs.

Are you American? Can't you use Amazon or some similar site like that. The UK Amazon has them selling for the RRP.

well if you willing to cross the border come to canada, it a bit easier and i say a BIT certain places like toy'r us and wal mart here are good, but EB has had signs for weeks saying we are sold out of wii's and are unaware of the next shipment, but best buy also has sometimes usually every friday and saturday, but this is only if u willing to cross the border into canada and come to toronto in ontario or you can use one of the tracker sites like wii tracker they track the shipments and also give you peopleselling theirs but they usually 300$ or 400$ wih games maybe depends its hit or miss like ebay listings
