What Wii Games Do You Have? Christmas Gift Dilemma!

[Chef Michelle D]

Okay so can you tell me how you guys all got your Wii. I am trying to find one for my son for his birthday in March. All the stores say you need to be in the right place at the right time. We went to several stores and called a few over the weekend and most of them say they don't know when they are coming in and they put them out that day and they are gone soon after. Unless I go to Target or Walmart everyday all day am I going to find one?

I am so frustrated, I don't know what else to do.

I got mine from Amazon online. BUT I signed up on these websites:

NowInStock.net Product Availability Tracker and In Stock Notification System

They email you as soon as online stores have Wii's in stock. Good luck!

We wanted one last year for Christmas (Christmas 2006) - but knew there was no way - and I wasn't spending more than retail. So we figured we would be able to get sometime in January - that's usually how it works with those hot Christmas items each year....
So last year we started looking in January...February...March - NO LUCK!

Everytime we were ANYWHERE that could sell a wii, we always made a trip to electronics and asked! It actually became a joke between DH and I. We thought it was pointless and it got to be a game. Then one night we were in either Walmart or Target - and of course we had to ask and the sales guy said "Sure, I think we have one back on the shelf." I actually thought the sales guy was kidding with me and I didn't believe him until he went and got it. That was April last year. It took us 4 months but we have it, did not pay a dime more than retail and we LOVE IT!

Good luck - keep trying - the wii is worth it!

It was completely the right place at the right time. We were at Target one day and right under the sign that said they were sold out where two Wii systems. We would have bought one each (DH and I) but the store manager came up as they were opening the case and grabbed the other for another customer.
