Where the Wii at??

So I thought I would buy a Wii for myself today. Thinking all the hype was over with and one would be easy to find. Wrong, I called 10 stores today! all sold out.
Anyone know some places to look??

i got mine from Toysrus...
they store all their shipments and won't sell them until certain Sunday, I'd say every other Sunday. When I got mine, they had 42 systems in stock, which is more than normal. The people who arrived before 9:30am got theirs, so plan to get their at 9:30am or even earlier.

If you don't want to keep searching everyday for the few that pop up randomly, there's rumored to be a large shipment going to Circuit City on the 22nd (Sunday) and they'll start handing out vouchers for the Wii 1 hour before the stores open.

This Sunday, try K-Mart as they've recieved a shipment either wed or thursday, but are "supposed" to hold it for Sunday as it was in their weekly ad. However, many K-Marts are disregarding this and have sold them already, so it's really hit-or-miss.

I lucked out and got my Wii today at 11:30AM (1.5 hours after they opened and put up they had them in stock) down here in So Cal. Got the last one too, out of 7. Got my roommate hooked on it... haha

Those rumors are usually pretty dead on. Who woulds thought that Nintendos would be sold out for 6 months strait?

Don't feel left out. There really aren't any great games for it yet. Zelda is painfully long, Call of Duty is too short.

So far the only games I keep coming back to are Ecite Truck and Wii Sports. Good thing there's plenty of retro games to buy for it.

My friend beat zelda in about 34 hours. I was playing through it but it just didn't hook me. I love playing Wii Play and Wii Sports. Awesome fun when you have 3-4 players. Especially tennis

Trauma Center is pretty good. Definitely good for a few laughs. I have sonic which I still need to play too. Guess I should work on that ahah.

Prince of Persia has been pretty fun so far. i'd love for them to bring back the old school with an online GoldenEye 64 game.
