well that sucks, they should let you preorder like any other product.

damn them.

To quote an EB Games employee.
"The more we sell, the more we get. If we have to wait for all the pre-orders to get picked-up, we wouldn't sell-out as fast."

To that I say "Bullshit! A pre-order is a sale." But, arguing with the guy isn't gonna get me a new toy.

I got one of those programs that constantly checks for wiis online (something like a widget). I woke up one morning and Circuit City had a bunch in stock, so I ordered one and got free shipping.

BTW, I know that the bundled wiis come in stock more often, so buy one with 1 game and return the game to the store (make sure to check store policy though)

I got my first Wii at RC Willy which is closed on sunday. got it Monday morning was the 6th person in line.
my second one i got at wal-mart, just walked by and to my suprise the had one left. right after i bought it some guy asked if they had any Wiis, it was his sons birthday and he wanted one for him. i felt kinda bad that the kid did not get a wii for his b-day but i got over it real quick.

Just got mine today. Been looking for a while. Called a local game crazy( no one really goes there) and they had one in stock. Got him to hold it and bam.

So far all my friends have gotten theirs because of me. I work in the electronics section of a store and get to handle the new shipments of all the stuff, so I just set a few aside and start calling people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I got mine on like the 25 of November, or somewhere around that date. I just had to stand in front of Toys R' Us for about 15 minutes.

EB Games nor Gamestop will let me.
All the others don't get their shipment till 5/6. I forgot to mention, I called Costco 1 morning, and they told me none in stock. So, I went the next day, for groceries and thought I would ask, they said I should have come the day before.

Don't call, most stores have a policy of telling you they don't have any in stock if it's a hot ticket item... I have no idea why but that's what they do. Beyond that a lot of times the phone jockey will just tell you no, and not even check.

most of those tracker sites are more reliable then the word of an employee over the phone.

If you do into the store make a clerk check the computer at least twice before taking "no stock" for an answer.

our local toys r us had 10 in stock on sunday when i was there buying my son a ds for his birthday. clerk was trying real hard to talk me out of the ds and into a wii. but, my son had said he'd rather have a ds, plus, we travel a lot for my daughters gymnastics, so its better to give him something to do. so you might wanna run into some toys r us' and see what they got.

I just bought 1 off Craigslist. It came with 2 remotes, a Nunchuck, and an HD cable.

No more hunting for me. IPB Image

Thanks for the help.
