Is it still possible to get a Wii?

[Leros]

Is it still possible to buy a Wii or do we have to wait til after Christmas now?

 

[DeviousTrap]

You'll definitely have to wait.

 

[Furyline]

There's supposed to be quite a few in stores tomorrow

 

[Rage187]

Bestbuy will have 40 per store tomorrow at 8am.

good luck because the story ran in most major papers.

 

[Yzzim]

EbGames and Gamestop are going to have a new shipment out tomorrow as well.

Enter your zip and you'll see the retailers that will have them. A majority of the retailers show tomorrow (17th) as being the availability of them. After you've performed your search, some of the listings will show the quantity that is expected to be available.

I wrote a long post on the amazon wii forum back in November, detailing how they needed to move to a lottery system to handle the selling of high demand items like the wii & ps3... glad to see they went through with it!

Shipment to all stores on the 17th (which is tomorrow). Try to get to the store as soon as it opens tomorrow. Walmarts, Targets, Best Buys, and I think Gamestops should all get shipments tomorrow.

i am going at 6 am , i'll either get in the BB or target line, whichever is shorter, but i would prefer to hit target

Is it going to be necesary to actually stand outside the store and wait in line?

I've never done this before.

 

[Shortcut]

yeah, you'll likely have to queue up outside the store and wait. dunno how far in advance you'll need to get in line, though.

crazy crazy sh!t.

 

[iamaelephant]

I can't believe demand is still so thoroughly outstripping supply for these things. Madness!

 

[Razgriz]

Seems that all of the next-gen consoles seem to have supply issues. It's crazy.

 

[PokerGuy]

Anyone thinking they can just go to the store when it opens tomorrow is smoking something. I was out and about at around 6:30 ET today and there were already people camping out/standing in line at several Best Buys. If you're not in line by midnight, I don't think you're going to have much luck.

I keep seeing BB, Wallyworld, EB etc getting a shipment tomorrow, but anyone know about Circuit City??

I'd say it is on purpose.

 

[Leros]

Can you go to Wal-Mart at midnight?

 

[Tobolo]

They are supposed to have 4mil in stores by New years.

Wii are family
I got all my sisters with me
Wii are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
All of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
High hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
No we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

The Wii has had the best supply of any of the three "next-gen" consoles at launch. It is just in such high-demand.

They likely won't have them out for sale until 8am though. That's what they did last time they had some for sale.
