check the net, call the stores, be patient.

one good thing with target, if you have the wii's target item number, call , hit 0 for operator, ask for a...

thats the part i foget.

 but when you ask for an item lookup, saying you have the "?" numbers, they check on the computer, usually thinking you are an employee from another store, and can tell you if any stores in your area, even state have any, at all.

best time is bright and early when they open.

What I find hilarious is that the PS3 has been readily available online, albeit in bundles most of the time, for over a week now, and the Wii you cannot find anywhere!  Looks like Sony might have shot themselves in the foot this time around.  Go Wii60! biggrin.gif

According to wiitracker.com, there are some in stock right now (not sure which online stores because the site is blocked at work).  I also heard that the next shipment to brick and mortar stores will be on Dec. 31st.  Good luck to everyone who doesn't have one yet!

How easy it now to get a wii at a store?  Do I have to call early in the morning to get a shot at getting one?
