Hey, if I post a thread that says "If the Wii sucks so badly, why is it out of stock everywhere online?" will you guys own me too? Because I have about a half dozen people who told me to look out for a Wii for them, and I can't find any. :(

If anyone thinks their Wii sucks and dont like it anymore please feel free to ship it to:
Jason Smalley
309 West Broad Street
Dyer, TN 38330

I will be glad to pay your shipping cost :)

hahahahahahh
expect a present any day now...

Fry's has a pile of them right at the front of the store. It never seems to get any smaller.

Bunch here in Alaska too. If anyone REALLY wants one, there's no sales tax here. Shipping would be $30 or so?

May I however suggest a PS2 instead? I'll bet anyone $10 that God of War 2 is a far better game than anything released on the PS3 in the next 6 months.

I went to my local Walmart this morning, and they had about 20 each of every color for DS. No Wii or Wiimotes though.

Funny that. I was in South FL just before new year and they were on shelves. That guy owes me about $6k.

I like how the EGM interviewer points out that they've already called several retailers and confirmed that PS3s are sitting on the shelf and Tretton basically called the interviewer and any retailer he called a liar.

It must be nice being able to live in your own little Sony VP fantasyland.

People are still stupid enough to buy Sony products? Give the devil money for screwing you, he'll just continue screwing you...

I see tons of PS3s here. I still haven't seen a 20 gig PS3 though. Are they even stocking the 20?

Still no Wiis or DS Lites.

I haven't seen a Wii in stock in a store since I bought mine the day it released.

PS3's on the other hand...everytime I've been to Walmart, Meijer, Target, Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, gamestop, EB games....

Sony actually puts out some decent products, including their XBR lines of TVs which are some of the best for the price.
