    I think its just luck of showing up when the are delivered. Target told us they can't hold them. Just come every morning when they open. Which we have yet to do. My boss made friends with a teenager at best buy that said he'd hold one for her "on the downlow" but she already had one. She is gonna call him up again to hook me up with one. I refuse to pay more then list.

    It's pronounced... Wii Wii...
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    i got lucky. i have a friend with a friend at toys 'r us so i got it that way. then i was in line getting another controller and they got another batch in while i was standing there....had i known you were looking....

    i also lucked out getting guitar hero...the best buy near me happened to have them in. i have a serious wii addiction now. it's sad, really. :)

    but i think it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.

    Best thing you can do is call every place that would carry one.

    Get the numbers from Best Buys, Circuit Citys, Targets, Wal-Marts, all Gamestop stores, etc.. That's what I did. It turned out the 6 places I called (one Best Buy, one Circuit City, one Wal-Mart, and 3 Gamestops) didn't have one, then I called a Best Buy that was a little further and out of no where they had three! I raced up and grabbed one.

    It's all luck, and all stores get shipments at different times. A lot of the time they don't know when they'll get Wii's in, at least not at the big chain stores. Gamestops will usually know but since they will only get a small number they tend to keep it a secret.

    Anyway, good luck!

    I noticed Amazon has some for sale or at least they did two days ago. They were asking around $350.

    My mom gave my kids a Wii for Christmas and when I was in Target a week before Christmas, they just got them in stock. It was pretty funny watching everyone dial their cell phones in a frenzy and say "Target has the Wii!!! Should we get one for so and so?". :D

    We have PS2, PS3 and now the Wii...... it's as fun as everyone says it is!

    good luck
