picked up 2 of them this morning at my local frys in Dallas...got there about 7:15 (they opened at 8)...only one person in front of me. By 8, there were 10 people in line.

They had about 30 of them near the front of the store...Still about 15 left when I walked out of Frys...
 
No need to pre-order, they had plenty in stock at the local BBY or CC, even Target. People selling them for $150 on eBay are idiots!

I would say that people BUYING them for $150 are the idiots...


 
I decided to hit Frys instead of Target to try my luck. I got there at 8:01 AM and there was no line anywhere to be seen. Walked into the store and asked a manager standing near the entrance where Wii Fit (I assumed they would have them right near the entrance) was located and he scratched his head, "uuuuh....Wii....what?". I skipped him and walked back to the electronics and there was a car with about 10 Wii Fits sitting there. I grabbed two (one for me and one for parents) Wii Fits, some rechargeable batteries and payed.

Walking out, some girl who was barely legal saw that I was carrying out 2 Wii Fits and said, "Oh! He's got one! I bet they're sold out!" and then proceeded to asked if I wanted to sell her one or hang out so she could check it out. She had penciled in eyebrows so I turned her down.

This game gets you chicks!
 
my wife went with my mom last night to Wal-mart at 11:45pm and each of them picked one up at 12:01am. She said there was a short line consisting of elderly people, people her age, and younger folks.
 
Girl got one this morning, everywhere she went they were sold out apparently only having 4 of them. She got the last one at a k-mart. Should be fun to play.
 
Tried 2 Wal-Marts, Target, K-mart and Best buy. 0 in stock. I saw the last 2 at one of the Wal-Marts get taken out of the case, so I assume this shortage won't be as bad as the Wii was...but, we'll see.
 
Local Fry's and BB sold out early. Called Gamestop and it had a few left. By the time I got there there were only a couple left. Looks like it's popular so hopefully there will be more games later that will utilize the board.

Anyway we set it up during lunch time, and dang my wife and I are both under weight.
