To be honest, you're not going to find it. People I work with have "connections" with the guys at Game Stop, and they still can't get one. Especially since it's Christmas time, everyone wants one. I'd be shocked if you could find one.

How much you willing to pay for one?

There is always e-bay. Luckly, I saw this coming, and bought one when Walfart got some in 2 months ago.

It will be very hard at this time, shoulda picked one up back a couple months ago when they were in the stores for a little over 24 hours before being sold out. Ebay is your best bet unless you are willing to wait in a line for it.

Yeah, if youre looking for a Wii, dont expect to get one.

And this is just my opinion, but i would spend my money else where anyway. The Wiis came out way too fast. The graphics are low and get frankly boring very quickly. I'd go for a 360 before a WIi.

I got mine off E-Bay in April with bundle that came with RedSteel, Classic Controller, Memory Card, and I think that was it for over 300 bucks. Best luck is on E-Bay.

LAST WII SHIPMENT OF 2007 IS DECEMBER 16th 2007. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WAITING OUTSIDE STORES TO GET A WII.

Stores that will be selling the last shipment...

BEST BUY
CIRCUIT CITY
Wal-Mart
Gamestop

Call before hand to make sure they are selling it the ship date.

also get there WAY before the store opens. There will be lines, and the reason why you have not seen many Wii's is because they are Having problems producing them in mass quantities (low amount of material, people, high demand, etc.).

Hey guyz lets debate about which system is better.
:roll:

Malls with Game Stops are amazing to check out, as most people will try and hit the one closest to the door, while there is another one in the middle of the mall. That's how I got mine on release day last year.

Rely on the laziness of people.

Or you could do the rain check thing they are doing. Nintendo released that you could buy a system and pick it up in January at the Game Stop you bought it at only. This rain check deal is only valid at Game Stop on Dec. 20-21. They are doing this because they know people want the system and want people to avoid paying the high prices on ebay. Though you will only get a certificate that you purchased the system, you will be able to receive it in January, I think this is a good idea to accommodate the huge demand with such a low supply before the holiday.

I just bought a 360 at Target about an hour ago. They're getting their shipment of Wii's tomorrow morning. I think they're getting 50 of them, or something like that.

most stores are holding wii shipments back until this sunday. Expect to wait longer then 3 hours in a line too.

I had to wait 10 hours on launch to get my system. I think it would sorta be the same as last time.

Well uh good luck with that...

I was deciding between a Wii or a 360.

I decided on a 360 considering I would lose interest in it after a month. But with the 360 I can rent movies on it, expand my games, stream music from my comp or listen to my ipod while playing a game, and there's more online capability on the 360. The 360 is a media center the Wii is a one trick pony and the death machine of tv and reasons why some pets are in the pet hospital. :wink:

I'm about 3/4ths through Super Mario Galaxy right now. Did anyone else get that game for christmas? I think its a lot of fun but its also really really easy. Only hard part is finding some of the hidden stars.
