Where to get a Wii?

Serendipity · January 2008

Hi,

I've been looking all over the place for a Wii in NYC, and I still haven't been able to find one. Other than your local Best Buy, Circuit City, and Toys R'Us, where can I find a Wii in a store?

Feb 08 you will find Wii's. They are all sold out until then. Stop looking .

you already know what i'm going to suggest... internet. otherwise you'll find yourself disappointed unless you get REAL lucky. wiialerts.com is what i used. but i have yahoo messenger so i get the 'in-stock' link emailed to me right away and messenger notifies me, quasi-real time, and i can get to the link in less than five minutes. 5 minutes was the average time amazon had them in stock with each new shipment. remember, 5 minute window.

or do like dan the mantis said, wait till next month. they'll start to pop up in a few retail stores.

So, does this mean they are supposed to be widely available in Feb, or thats just when the next shipment comes in?

I went to reserve a game yesterday and just for fun I asked if the had any in stock ans the lady said yes , so needles to say I bought the 2 they had, put one on ebay , and it sold for $350. and played the other one for about 30 min. but I think I'm goint to sell it as well, after looking at the graphics on my 360 and ps3 the wii doesen't do anything for me; I think it would be fun if I was younger (had more energy) or if I had kids.

luck plays a role in getting Wii. I got mine at Target, by pure chance, and being at the right place and right time. Later on, my sister wanted one, so I went around to BB and Target, none available, went to a local Gamestop and they had one. I bought mine sometimes in April 07, the second one was in August 07.

Fry's had/has a bunch of them but only the bundles with a lot of extras (that may or may not be worth it to you) and the price is around $550. Wife wants one but we'll wait until they can be just picked up from the shelf.
