I finally got a wii after searching the stores in my city for three months. I stood in lines for hours and made many phone calls to most of the stores without any luck. I decided to continue my wii search on line and ended up on a wii tracker web site. Their it was, the flashing in stock sign that stated amazon had the wii in stock for its retail price of $250.00.I highly recommend these wii tracker sites if you are trying to find a wii.

In the UK, England, we’re having the same problems. The consoles are arriving daily in the shops at between 10:00 and 11:00. They can’t be reserved or saved by a phone call, not even for 20 minutes for you to get to the shop. You can ring, get down there quick as they’re in stock, and there gone. The only people who are able to get them are people that don’t work, students and people connected with the shops, many of these buy them and then sell them on ebay.

There’s goto be a better way of doing it? I mean, they’ve been released here for 3 or 4 months now.

Hold your horses there Bob. The reason you can’t get a Wii is exactly the opposite of Nintendo sucking! Just because something’s immensely popular doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get it.

Wii has outsold every other console every month since it’s release. Nintendo is producing them, and as fast as they can, people are just buying them at nearly double the rate of the other two new consoles!

I think the main people to be angry with here are the dozens/hundreds of scalpers that gobble up systems and then put them on ebay or craigslist.

I’d buy a PS3 myself except there’s just nothing interesting about it. It’s exactly the same as the PS2 with more horsepower and higher resolutions. I don’t care about that, I want better games, or more fun gameplay. I have a PS2, I don’t need a PS2 on steroids.

Same with the Xbox/Xbox360. Xbox had about 5 games worth playing that weren’t available on other systems. I rue forking over the cash for an Xbox original even though I got it used for $100.

Yep, just about ready to move on to PS3 or a 360! The local Bestbuy gets a few and poof they’re gone in three seconds. I’m told when they advertise 10 they must have 10 on hand before the store opens, so… Bestbuy’s ads come out Sundays, so check late Saturday night or first thing Sunday am (hasn’t worked for me so far..) As for the 480p max deal its keeps the cost down, but big whoopee deal if I can even buy one!!!
I know Nintendo doesn’t even care but I’m about to junk my PS2 and buy a PS3.

It really is driving me crazy! Everyone around me has a Wii - They all seem to get lucky walking into a store that just.so.happens. to have one. People I know that didn’t even care about getting one bought one, and yet here I am - the guy who waited outside 3 times at 3am til store opening, and I’m Wii-Less. Searching from November to March? Thats insane. What is Nintendo doing? And whyyyy can’t we reserve them!?

Its been about five months since the wii has come out and I have looked everywhere, talked to everyone, yet still can not find one. Everytime I call,GameStop or K-Mart they act like there so annoyed to talk to someone who wants a wii. If there isn’t a big shipment soon I’m going to have to move on.

Only one Best Buy worker would tell me when he thought they were coming in, and when I got to the store that day (about a half hour before it opened) there were already 120 people in line. I found out later that some had been there since 5:30AM, and the store didn’t open until 11:00. I can’t compete with that - especially since I live in the Northeast and it was literally 10 degrees that day.
