Charlotte University BB is sold out of them. Aparently they received their shipment around 8:30 or something like that and sold out within 20 min. I saw some lady buy 3 of them so yea I was kind of surprised they didn't sell out quicker. O and fyi that BB had the Wii consoles at the customer service area and I had to find that out the hard way since some customers were chatting with a BB employee. I gave up on waiting and found some random BB employee who said they were at the cs area.

I know it's a bit early to be looking this far, but does anyone have any inside info (for example, employee at either store) on Best Buy or Target this Sunday (DEC 9)? I've heard rumors that stores are holding their consoles until the 16th, which would really suck. I've also heard that they're only doing that after this Sunday though, so I can't really be sure.

Any info would be awesome!

if there is 1 available it won't be there when you get there


It doesn't seem to be accurate. I tried multiple zipcodes and all of them have wii showing as in stock in at least a few of the stores listed. I'm not going to trust it. Thanks!

Wrong! They may be in stock but held by mgmt for Sunday

Keep trying every 5 minutes for the next 6 days and then it will go through. If you do this correctly, in the end, you'll be able to order as many Wiis as you want for $2.50 each and free next-day delivery. I just did this last week and the six semis delivered my stockpile today.

Well, if everyone wants to get the Wii, go to GameStop between 11:00 to 1:00. The UPS guy is usually come at that time. Good luck.

did anyone get any wii in Ohio from BESTBUY today?

no. Want to have one call every GameStop nears you.

When I call the GameStops there are already people lined up to go inside, at least for the stores that put them out ready for the morning. The rest (and most others) put out the Wii as the shipments come in between 11 and 1. But how realistic is it to "case" the GS for two hours? I don't have the option to do that b/c of a small child. I missed the shipment at GS today by 45 minutes. I don't know what's best....casing a GS, waiting in line in the cold (our lines begin at 4am!), or waiting for my online trackers to go off and to send me texts to my phone. I haven't received any wii alerts yet and I signed up on Friday. I live in Virginia Beach and the people in this area are very serious about scoring a Wii. They line up early and in droves.

I called my best buy (Im in AKRON) and they said they got them in this morning and were gone within 2 hours...

anywhere else getting them tomorrow? I heard TRU?


alert mods    

Call them. I missed two GS B$M. they told me to call them beteen 11:00-1:00. I just do have time. They're just sold out. I have to wait the next GS this Friday. They will have them.

Anybody want to take a guess as to what time Amazon might pop up, it seems like it has been at specific times lately

In past it's been on Wednesdays at 9am or 10AM PST. The recent exceptions being BF and last Friday.

Just checked GameStop link, it shows a store 27 miles away has 1-3 in stock, so if I go there before opening, I should be able to score one?


alert mods    

Yeah...it's showing Gamestops in my area for having them in stock as well. I'm debating if I'm getting up early or not.

It would be sweet if Amazon has them tomorrow (12/5)!!

Not that I'm trying to sway you from going out tomorrow morning, but from my experience with their availability tracker it is always one day behind. For instance, if I check it on a Monday morning around 8AM (after it updated sometime during Sunday night) and it says more on the way: "YES", then I know that on that very day, Monday, they will be getting a shipment in. The next morning, Tuesday, will show in stock: "1-3", but that was actually yesterday's inventory.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I had past experience with online trackers being slightly behind. Thanks for the heads up.
