okay i got my wii waiting with my friend his dad and older sister outside wal-mart (but we used the system where a couple people go in and the others save there spots) any way i was second in line right behind my friend and sense getting my wii i have not seen a wii for sale in a major store. Is that basicly the way it is for you oh BTW my friends parents serched for a wii so they could give it to him for christmas they didn't find one so they gave him a $300 gift card and he still has not found a wii at the target (where the gift card was to)

Haha, I went to yankee stadium a couple days ago and picked up a shirt that said "BOSTON SUCKS" in the same font! :lol: The difference between the shirt in your sig and the one I have is that mine is true and your's isn't. ;)

Anyway, back on topic. There were several Wiis in a gamestop near me that stayed in the store for several hours before selling out. The only reason that they sat for hours though was because no one knew that they even had Wiis until they asked them.

People are still lining up on weekends where I live, occasionally you'll see a mid-week shipment at Wal-mart and they'll have 20 units or so that are gone in three hours.  I'm in Monterey, CA.

I have yet to see a Wii on the shelf, but accessories are a lot easier to find over here.

Perhaps that means things are getting better?

In Thailand they're easy to find. No waiting lists, no preorders, just go to MBK and buy one.

Don't know about Canada, I haven't looked.

No way man, there are no wii's anywhere. But it doesn't matter to me i got lucky..I was at Wal-Mart with my parents and I just told I was going to go to browse the electronics section until they were finished..ok I got there I was looking around and I saw 2 wii's in the glass compartment under the wii games. I was so happy!! LOL I asked they guy when in the world did they get it and the manager told me "this morning" dang I got lucky because it was like 2:00 P.M. Anyway. I got the wii. Ye. Still enjoying it. I know it was an awesome story sorry for all of the people who read this..but it pwns.

I havenèt seen a Wii here in Halifax, Nova Scotia ,Canada and normally gaming related stuff are easy to find. They better get some soon, I want one before Brawl comes out. They should, hopefully not have problems by then though.

If people are finding them, then they should be grabbing them up and selling them on eBay.

I have yet to walk into a store and find a Wii just... sitting there.  360s are plentiful, of course and PS3s are available, but they're not stacked in Best Buys gathering dust.
