it took me forever to figure it out. You have to create an account, then click on retail category, go to bottom of dropdown and click on video games. Then you have to search for wii fit, then you add that to your tracker and then you should be able to search by zip code. Hope this helps, if not post again or give me your zip code and i will see if I can get it to work.
 
I asked for Wii and Wii Fit for my birthday coming up and I think I'm going to get them! I can't wait!!!
 
I STILL haven't hooked mine up! This week I was planning to do it and let the kids know I bought it. Of course now that the kids are out of school, sneaking off to buy a Wii Fit if I can find it might be kind of hard.

I can't wait to hook it up. I have had no free time to do it. Plus I wanted to play it a little before I tell the kids.:) That means it would have to be done at night.

I'll still be searching for a Wii Fit this week!

I can't find a place to create an account other than download the software and call for a PW. Is that what you did?

Maybe this will help!!!

Looks like that is a site issue, i noticed that there is a message board and about 10 people are having the same issue.
 
Ok, are you all going to be thin and fit at Conference? I am jealous!!

I was intending on going out to get one for myself and then the transmission in my car blew up on the way home from my show on Sunday....aaarrrrghhhh!

You know how I hate to spend money, and DH is worse. So he fixed it himself yesterday after we towed it home ourselves (again, saving a large towing bill). Thankfully we only needed a radiator, transmission filter and fluid, antifreeze, some misc. parts and he changed the oil. Came out to around $300 (but would have been 5 times that had we had it towed and fixed at the dealer).

90,000 miles on a 2003 Dodge Neon -- it's was paid in full years ago. I DON'T WANT a car payment, I want a Wii!!

Could you really write the whole thing off? I'm thinking that the cooking game would be a stretch but you're even thinking the Wii?
 
Yeah! He fixed the car...next purchase, a Wii!

I seriously don't think so, BUT it would be worth looking into! I had a consultant on my team that was an accoutant in her former life~she wrote off her cable bill because she watched Food Network for tips! I am sure there are alot of things we can write off, but I am guessing a video game is streching it!

They fixed the site. I checked this AM and to my suprise my local walmart had them in stock. I called and the lady there said they just opened the boxes a few minutes ago. DH went and got it right away.
Thanks for that site, I was giving up on making calls every day.

Awesome, I'm glad it worked and you got one.
Our Wii Fit came Monday and I love it. Really gets you up and moving and having fun atthe same time, really takes the work out of getting some excercise.
 
Now ya'll have me looking for a Wii - I told Larry NO GAMES b/c we have no kids. I don't want him to become glued to the couch playing a game. We'll now we are getting one so we can do wii fit. lol
 
There are NO wii fit in Little Rock, N Little Rock, Jacksonville, Cabot, Conway, Bryant, Benton, Maumelle, Sherwood or Mtn View. All but Mtn View right around our area - Larry's sister lives in Mtn View. Are you kidding me????!!!!! We have 14 wal-mart stores alone b/t all those towns & no wii fit! I called Toy's r Us, Circuit City, Best Buy, K-Mart, Target, gaming stores like EB or something like that - now I'm sad & still need to lose weight. :(
 
Kasey, have you tried using the website posted here itrackr.com? That helped me find what I needed. I was calling like 50 different places a day. Pulled that up and got one that day.
Happy SHopping
 
I know this is an old thread but I finally got a Wii Fit yesterday! I've been getting messages from itrackr for ages but no games were ever in stock in our town! I was on my way to another town for something yesterday & got a message that that town had them in stock! They still had 3 when I got there. I got 30 minutes in last night & I am feeling it tonight!!! Who knew that working out could be so fun & that a video game could make you hurt so much!!! I don't like my pudgy Mii either so I am determined to change it!!!

oh good i'm glad someone resurrected this thread. i got mine over the weekend and LOOOOVE it. guess who loves it more? my 12-year old DS! he was on it for an hour sunday and 30 mins yesterday.

i'm so glad i got it - now i can stop paying for the gym which was getting very routine. stampaholic, my mii is also pudgy, and my real self is also in pain (shoulder strain from those pushups/planks).

They also have the "attachments" for the controllers for the cooking game! THey are really cute! I bet you could write it off if you took it to a show and had it hooked up! It could be a game night!:love::D

I personally wouldn't be willing to stretch that far in taxes.

It is like a home office. You have to make sure you have the percentages right and the usage amounts right. I wouldn't want to risk and audit without documented proof.

You have to think about what you are selling...Wii cooking games or PC products.
