Dunno, I was gonna go to EBgames tomorrow anyway.  I'll check out whether they have hardware.

I haven't seen any yet, though.

Where I live you have to show up at 6am tuesday or wednesday (since the gaming industry can't figure out how to actually ship anything on time. I mean Gears came out a day late) morning to get a shot at one.

Seems to me the shortages are widespread.  The shortage will be gone once E-bay prices are more in line with the actual retail price.

I found a store that is a sure-fire thing if I want a Wii.  I've now seen about 50 different Wii's at that store. :o  I'm never telling where either. :twisted: 

Just kidding, it's a store called Costco, and if you see the movie "Employee of the Month," the store "Super Club" is a basic knock-off of it.  Buying in bulk, the cement floor and a lot of checkstands, a restaurant wtih tables and umbrellas and giant shelves filled with stock, and the employees wear the same kind of coats with name-tags.  They get Wii's by the truckload, and since you have to pay to be a member, they don't sell out.

I haven't played a game on the Wii in months. Too much playtime on my PC and DS. I think I'll sell off my Wii soon. :?

They normally put up a sign in my area and then with in an hour they are all gone. As soon as people know a store has them they are gone like the wind.

Well, they seem readily available in my local stores, but then I don't think the demand here in Australia is as great as in overseas countries. It seems like out of my friends that bought next-gen consoles, they've mostly got 360s. I'll probably get a Wii when I start getting more shifts at work, and MP3 releases. 

I went to Best Buy today. Still no wiis.

The walmart here gets really big shipments so they stick around for a few days but there are never any left by the time the next shipment gets in at least from what I've seen.
