OK, now we might be getting a Wii for Wolfette.....can't find them in stock anywhere!!!!!

It's gonna be tough hun to find one around this time -- here are some tips:

Take a day to go around to your local stores which would carry the Wii. It is best to do this in the morning. ASK them if there are any in stock/in the back, or when the stock usually comes in, because there won't be any on the shelves.

Go to the usual stores -- Best Buy, Gamestop/EB Games, Circuit City, Target, Walmart -- but you may have better luck at stores where you wouldn't normally think of buying a Wii -- such as Kmart (where I found mine) and Sears.

When you do your Wii run, ask the sales clerk if there's a way to call in and see if there's any in stock. Sometimes when you call and there are systems in stock, they'll hold one for you for like, an hour (obviously this is dependent on the clerk).

If you do a "Wii run" every few days then eventually you will get lucky and find one in stock. Heck, it can even be fun since you'll be at stores where it's fun to look around. I got one last February, and it took a few weeks once I started looking... and again, found one at Kmart when I asked the clerk if there were any in stock -- she said there was one left and brought it out from the back.

There are places like "aaahs" that usually have one in stock -- but at a drastic markup (i.e. like how Amazon sellers are marking them up, ugh). The Wii costs $249.99 retail, period. If you pay more than that, you're getting ripped off.

It starts off easy but gets to be a real bitch

Just like you-know-who on the LoT.

From time to time, he will pop in and post something and then quite suddenly disappear again. Having aquired a mate, he may be even harder to spot in the LoT wilderness.

Got it! And all the goodies to go with! Woohoo!

Very cool!

I played Rayman with my parents last night- of course they have no clue there is a Wii in the closet for them. I love that this year I am getting my parents something like the Wii instead of them getting it for their kids-

Warning Cass.....accessories are in short supply also, so get down to the store and buy what you're going to need. Tim found this out this morning from the game store he went to. They are expecting shortages very soon.

Anything dealing with the Wii is in short supply... its because of its popularity and price stance...

Personally I love mine... so worth going to target at 5:00am on a Saturday in February... in shorts and a t-shirt when it was around 50f....

Mom is getting me new games for Christmas... hopefully also thrillville off the rails!

I currently only have a "few" games... and a few from the internet like sonic 1.

My brother has done his part- picked up WiiPlay, which comes with a Wiimote and he grabbed a game for them as well (Cranium)- he still needs to grab the Nunchuck but said he would soon- so he may have it already.
