So if I show up at EB / Futureshop on Sunday for a Wii...

[UnatcoAgent]

Do you think there are going to be enough units for non-preorder sales if I get in a very early lineup?

I really want that wii.. to dumb to preorder... so dumb

 

[sonoma1993]

my guess would be, most likely not.

 

[isekii]

no

 

[everman]

I Wiily doubt it.

 

[Ika]

I would've said yes, but NO is a better answer for me.

eb/gamestop will probably be sold out because all the hardcore gamers go there to grab their preorders. Walmart/Target/Circuit Cities would be much more reliable because many of them will be getting over a hundred units, and don't draw in the hardcore crowd quite as much.

Somones gotta get emm.... why not you?

 

[EvilYoda]

I showed DeathBUA a site that showed how many units all the Targets are getting...the one near me is getting 200+, so he's basically guaranteed one

 

[jpeyton]

Go to a big box store like Target or Best Buy; they will have hundreds of Wiis.

Select stores, those inside westfield malls, are getting extra units. This is part of a country wide launch event that Nintendo is doing with Westfield malls and Gamestop.
Find one near you that is in a westfield mall and ask them, they should have extra's.

I believe they will be getting up to a hundred over their pre-order allotment. They will also open at midnight on Saturday (sunday morning) for their launch.

Hope this was a helpful first post!

I don't know what Future Shop is, but EB will 100% guaranteed NOT have a system for people who didn't preorder.

Future Shop is their BB...I believe BB bought them 2 years ago.

Well BB isn't taking preorder (As far as I know) so you may be able to get on Sunday morning. It really depends on how badly other people in your community want the Wii.

the bestbuy and the meijers in my area. People are camping out at them for ps3 and will release.

 

[UnatcoAgent]

Ok thanks guys, very helpful, I'll try Futureshop bright and early on Sunday (Best Buy in Canada)

 

[tfinch2]

You'll have a better chance at a big store like Walmart or BB/CC

The joke is on for the people at Meijer. They usually do a lottery.

My friend is a manager at one of the stores and said they are doing a thing for the PS3s where they have chairs set out equivlent to the number of PS3s the are getting... if you are in a chair when they are released, you get one. Gotta go take a whiz? Next person in line gets it, and no matter how many friends you have in the same line, you can't hold the chair for them.

Yeah the Meijers I vendor at, had chairs out for the people. I was looking around the electronics area. Some whole family was there camping out.
