I have always preordered so I am clueless on the waiting game. Do you pretty much have to camp out? By what time roughly?

You have to camp out and if you want one at a best buy in a major city, I would suggest going there around 4 or 5pm the day before.

I must be getting old becuase I just can't imagine camping out in front of a store all night...especially if you live in a place where its fricken freezing all night long

And roughly, how many units do you think each Best Buy is going to get if you had to guess?

I work at the BB in Milpitas CA.. I have yet to be told how many we are getting in.. We haven't even recieved them yet.. It will be a crazy day for me on the 17th..

This coupon will come in handy tomorrow when I buy Guitar Hero 2. I'll buy it online with store pickup option.

I got mine too. At least I made 10 bucks off of it. That will come in handy.

Re: Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii PREORDER discussion

I got this in an email from Gamestop about the Wii today:

Wii Bundle
And so here Wii are. Less than two weeks and counting until the most innovative product the video game industry has seen hits the streets.

This Thursday evening (CST), November 9, your opportunity to get in on the excitement arrives when the Wii Bundle becomes available for purchase online at GameStop.com. You'll get the best games, accessories and more in one convenient package delivered right to your door - all for under $699 plus tax and handling.

Quantities are extremely limited and there will be a limit of 1 Wii bundle per household, limited to US delivery only. Ordering a bundle does not guarantee shipment at launch and orders will be shipped on a first-come, first-serve basis. The bundle will be removed from the site as soon as we have reached our expected quota.

Too bad it doesn't say what time on Thursday or what is in the bundle

$700 bucks? No thank you. I'll take my chances Nov. 18th and 19th in town.

Anyway, I found this link on Amazon. Type in your zip code and it will give you a list of how many Wiis are in your area and where they are at. So far, I think only Targets are up, but as we get closer, hopefully others pop up as well.

Ladies and Gents, I was looking at Allocation numbers at Best Buy today. One of the guys that works there let me take a look at the amounts that every BB is getting in my area. There are stores getting 65-102 Wii's. Now I have 3 Best Buys within 5 minutes of my house and the 1 by my work. I know how many their getting and they open at 9 am. I'll get there at 8 am with the one that's getting 102, I figure if there are more than 100 in line then I go to the next.

It looks like Best Buys are going to have on average from what I saw 90-100 per store.
