The plan was for them to get them in today on their freight day, and hold them until Sunday morning, but my CC source informed me that the majority of the stores will not get them in until after Sunday.

Just a heads up :)

I'm so glad I already got mine. I can't believe that they are still in such short supply.

There are still shortages? I was in BB the other day and they had a few Wiis along with some PS2s.


They worth anything on ebay?

Lies. You're just saying that so we all end up going to CC on Monday while you get to pick up your Wii on Sunday without competition. :p

Hard enough that someone who wanted one would die from holding in her pee to get one.

I don't want a Wii. I'm waiting for CC to get some DS's so I can score one with some games with the 40 off 199 coupon.

I've been looking for a DS for my nephew everywhere. I didn't even think of the coupon. Good idea, although it might expire by the time they get some. :( I have another 24 hrs to convince the wife to get a Wii. Maybe the coupon will do... :D

DS's are hard to get? Any specific reason or was there just a big holiday rush for them too?

Anyone check out PS3 ebay prices recently? Theyre going for 500-550 for the 60gb now. HAHA to all the suckers who are reselling.

We get them from FedEx not from our trucks.

I believe I have the PDF before they changed it. I will poke around for it this evening. Besides, I already printed 3 copies for myself. :cool:

Have a link to the original if anyone needs it. Used it tonight on a 360 HD-DVD add on.

If by 'constantly' you mean like 3-5 systems per week, then yes, they have them.

Most of those coupons don't work with game systems. Might want to double check the fine print.

Really...and there's 20 people waiting for those 3-5 systems per week. Gamestops are taking waiting lists, and the guy at the one at the mall said it's stretching into March.

Buy them from Nintendo.com. They're the same price plus +5 shipping. You usually get it in 5 days or so.
