yeh.. looking for a Wii...

12/21/2008 1:59:24 AM

depends on the store what day of the week it is.


Also...look in the Ad. Which stars new every Sunday.

You are in Australia?

12/21/2008 2:02:45 AM

or be at Target at 8:00am on Sunday morning.

12/21/2008 2:06:28 AM

no, i'm in Raleigh now.

I was thinking of heading to Best Buy before they opened because the guy there today said if the store ad online mentions Wii's, then they'll get some in for Sunday morning.

The Weekly Ad search says there are Wii's... but its confusing and i'm unclear on the ad start date.

Target, eh?

12/21/2008 2:24:44 AM

all major retailers put out their stock of wiis on sundays when they are listed in the ads.
they've been doing this for over 2 years now.

said ads get leaked on the internet at least a week in advance. just google the ads and go to the right place at 8 AM like everyone else has done forever.

the only places that sells them as they get the shipment in are gamestops and other small shops.

hrmm searching reveals there are no Wiis in the upcoming ads. boo.

12/21/2008 2:52:31 AM

i bought a wii maybe 2 weeks ago and called up to target, they were in stock, profit.

why not look up the opening hours of a few stores around here and call in the AM? Find out if they have any in stock and you'll save yourself the hassle of running around. Shouldn't be overly busy anywhere at 8-10am even if it's right before christmas

12/21/2008 3:28:21 AM

are people still making money off ebay/craigslist selling Wiis?

12/21/2008 4:06:21 AM

So is Nintendo inflating the demand by keeping the supply intentionally small? You would think by now there would not be a supply problem.

12/21/2008 7:30:09 AM

still a supply problem... i think they are making over 2 mil a month now?

[Edited on December 21, 2008 at 10:01 AM. Reason : def. target on sundays - you can call and usually ask before you go]

12/21/2008 9:57:31 AM

i dont think any place had them this morning. if anything, maybe the day after christmas?

12/21/2008 10:40:50 AM

just call around to all the wal-marts, ask for electronics. make sure you call the ones outside of town

12/21/2008 11:49:19 AM

yeh, no luck. finally scored one off craigslist for $290 though. not bad considering tax is $20 anyway

yes.

[Edited on December 21, 2008 at 1:00 PM. Reason : wii fit's are crazy expensive.]

try costco. they had a full pallet yesterday.

12/21/2008 2:15:22 PM

which costco?

12/22/2008 12:07:28 PM

try the most ghetto walmart you can find in the middle of bum fuck.. there used to be one way out on 64 east maybe 20 mins outside of Raleigh.. I'd be surprised if it was still there but they might have them. I actually got mine at a walmart in high point right before it shut down (it was the dirtiest walmart I've ever seen)

12/22/2008 12:13:25 PM

wii was in the target circular yesterday... the only one i saw

yeah just call around to all the BFE walmarts and youll find one. i got mine in garner, but fuquay had some too (long time ago)

12/22/2008 1:57:26 PM

I got my wii a couple weeks after they came out (what was that like 2 years ago) at a bum fuck walmart south of greensboro.

12/22/2008 4:03:26 PM

you have your answer, south gso is not a very happenin place.
