    I got one at Circuit City around Thanksgiving. They told me that they get shipments on Sunday and to call them Sat night or Sunday morning. I called one Sunday morning and they said they had 14 of them. I went down there and there was a line and I was number 13 or 14. I didn't think I would get one but it turns out that they had more than they said. After getting it, I went to Toys R Us the same morning and they must have had 50 or so.

    I got Guitar Hero 3 off ebay for a little bit more than in the stores (about $120). I ordered it a week before Christmas and had it the Friday before.

    when Costco opened up last month they had a pallet with nothing but Wii's on it.

    haven't been there since so i'm not sure if they have more.

    hi Esther, now we are all going to be sick, thanks

    Try Costco or Sam's Club if you've got one in your town. They had a bunch with no frenzy, however that was before the Xmas shopping season began. I lucked out and got one about a week before Xmas. I heard BestBuy was getting them every Sunday in fairly large quantities. Mine had 150 units two Sunday's before Xmas, so I showed up at 8:30 (didn't realize they opened at 8:00 on that particular day) and I was the 150th person to get the Wii (good thing I skipped going to Peet's Coffee that morning). Try getting there on a Sunday morning or better yet, call!

    Good luck! You'll get one and if you don't, I'm sure you'll have no problem after February.

    Wii Sports is a great party game because it's easy to learn and not intimidating to non-gamers. My 85 year old Grandpa was bowling all night w/ us on Xmas!!!

    And Super Mario Galaxy is a great game!
    Rock on!

    Paper mario for the Wii is by far the worst game I have ever played, seen, or even heard the name of!

    I thought Paper M was okay. Had enough old school Mario feeling to pick it up. But it pales in comparison to Super M Galaxy. That games is freaking awesome. My six year old and I fight over who's gonna be player one. Until he gets stuck, at least.

    And my pops picked up Guitar Hero III for my boy (cough, cough). I can not put that damn thing down. I had never put much thought to getting the game, but as soon as my dad told me what he'd gotten, I was stoked. The first night, I couldn't stop till I beat all 42 songs on easy. Only one I didn't get the first time was Slayer, I think. And I hadn't heard about Evenflow being included, and it isn't one of the listed songs. So when the "encore" started and I read the song, I got the crappiest grin on my face. And you know I had to stand up to rock that shit!

    NBA 08? eh. Not so much after the initial play.

    I work for Target.... keep an eye on the Sunday sales flyer. If it is advertised on a particular Sunday, they will have them. Get there early and you should have no problem getting one.
