Yeah you're going to need to do some early morning hunting... it's fucking ridiculous that they still can't keep up with demand.

Yeah stopped at Ebgames, babbages, toys r us, kmarts and circuit city yesterday with no luck.
Toys r us guy told me to come sunday morning at 6am and I'll score. I don't know if I'm that desperate.

It is only going to get worse, too.
Can you order them online and have them shipping in time for X-mas?

Try calling some gamestops.
Even though they and EB games are now merged, they'll probably be listed seperately, as they're still consolidating info and stores.

If you want I wrote a little program that watches the RSS feed and pages me when one became available.
Using this I was able to get one from walmart.com back in the first 2 weeks of its release. I had to get the $600 bundle with 8 games, but still worth it.

I got mine at a BestBuy, took me several weekends of going into various stores and getting laughed at when I asked if they had any in stock. I saw some kid leaving the BestBuy that day with one in hand and I very nearly jumped him for fear of there not being any left. At some gamestop they had a bunch of empty display boxes in their window and none in stock, I asked him why the hell they'd put up boxes for something they don't even have, the cashier didn't seem to understand the irony of that.
Adding to your list try Target, and Walmart too...

I had no idea the demand/supply was still that wacky enough to have a webpage devoted to finding one for sale.
Makes me glad I don't need one yet.

Yeah I've tried all the local gamestops and ebs and have been watching the wiitracker.
Just called hollywood and he said he has about an 80 name waiting list that he'd be happy to put me on. :(
I may just go hit toys r us early for a shot. Last xmas I missed the last ticket by 1 person in line. Fucking bastard husband wife each got one saying they weren't together.

I've seriously had three people bust out laughing at me when I've called and one to my face at kmart.
Bastards.

Hah... yeah I'll sell you mine with a nice fat premium, as much as I love it, I'd take cash to be without for a few months. Still have the original box and all that crap.

I think Alf has the hookup on a new one. Keep your sticky controllers to yourself Cel.

I feel bad now that my Wii is lying in a drawer.
Heh, mine is too. We camped out over night, both got one, and now only use his.
Yeah maybe I should sell mine. It's cool for the first month. I haven't hooked it up for half a year now.

We sold our Wiis last Sunday (Toys R Us); the ROTO dates are set by corporate, so I don't know if there will be any this Sunday because I haven't worked since they went on sale. But, AFAIK, there's no big sale date this Sunday.
My store sold over 10 dozen Wiis in half an hour recently. It was fucked up.

I'm still amazed that society lets people like Alex near small children.

Like backlash.
go make friends with the walmart electronics guy, thats how I got mine. Target = 30 person line for every delivery
Walmart = random UPS delivery hours (which of course my new friend called me when he got them in )
