    Re: Official Wii Impressions

    The Target that is near my work actually had 20+ systems in stock today. I'm hearing some stores are also getting PS3's today/tomorrow.

    Wii's are still selling for $400-$475 without a game on ebay. How long is this going to last at that price point?

      I'm back in the hunt again for a Wii, wifes getting it for me for my Christmas present. Now I just have to find one. Tried Target today, they got in 18, and sold them all already. I was told that maybe Sunday would be a good day to try back.

          Yeah, or being at the right place at the right time theory. With the Wii still in such high demand, people are making a killing on ebay. If I run into another Wii at a store, I may pick one up to sell on ebay.

            I tried calling a couple Targets, and no luck.

            EDIT: Called another one and they have no systems but they have nunchucks and controllers. Too bad I'm not too close to that one at the moment, and the traffic time would render it useless to even try to get there before they're sold.

              I just got back from Circuit City (Christmas shopping) and they had no Wiis, no Wii remotes, and didn't even have slots for the classic controllers and nunchucks.

                  Good thing that you will have it on the 4th, now waiting 21 days will be killer.

                    Moral of the story? Nobody knows ****.

                          I ordered it on 11/20 on JCPenney.com. When I ordered it it said I would get it around the 4th of December. I'd have it sooner if it didn't have to come from WA all the way to AL.

                          JCPenney seems to have worked out pretty well. It was the only place online that I could find that would let me order just the system and not a bundle. I didn't care too much about speed since I couldn't have it until Christmas anyway. The bundles do seem to still be in stock at Toys 'R Us, or at least that's what it looks like online. If I hadn't found the one I did, I probably would have gone that route and ebay'd the games I didn't want.

                              I received a Walmart ad today and it has a date of 12/6 on it for when the next shipment will be available. I still think some places are hording the systems and selling them at once.

                                LOL, no doubt. My Tony Hawk Downhill game came in the mail today. Nothing like seeing all my Christmas presents early :P I definitely will be itching to try it out.
