Wii Availability Listings
Since we have multiple Wii threads going and I know there are plenty of people looking to either purchase the console or buy more accessories I figure I would just start a thread where we can list availabilities. I'll get things started.
Walmart.com has the Wii Remote on sale, in-stock as of 3:49pm 12/1/06: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=5272697 |

Do they sell just the consoles at Toys R'Us or do you have to get crazy bundles?

in any case, most every major retail chain is supposed to be getting wii consoles this sunday. bestbuy, target, toys r us, etc... if you're one of the first people there when they open, you should be able to get it. |

I got one! Hooray!
They had 8 at Target, 17 at Circuit City and 34 at Toys R Us. I got shut out at Target, saw more than 17 people in line at CC so I headed over to Toys R Us. I was number 28.  I actually waited longer in line after the store opened to get the Wii then I did to get my voucher.I guess the ad showed only a bundle- the Wii and the Marvel Alliance game. Once we got inside tho, you didn't have to buy the bundle if you didn't want to. |

Target had 42 and CC had 22 (near my house). Another Targer had 75. I picked up one from Target (#35) and one from CC (#20). CC had plenty of remote controls but no nunchuck.

I'm waiting until the Jan 16th '07 release for Wii Play + Wii Remote for 49.99. You can preorder right now at Buy.com. I just bought Wii Zelda + 8 AA batteries for $37 shipped, after taxes!

for the military ppl, i was told that the wii family bundle is available here
http://www.aafes.com/ you need to register, so I'm guessing there's a need for military ID# or something. |

apparently, all bestbuys are to have at least 40 and all circuit cities are supposed to have at least 20. also, remember the earlier opening hours because of holiday season. I believe they all open at 8 am. call/website to doublecheck!

I will go to my local Target and Circuit City this weekend.
Update: went to two Target and two Circuit City stores but got nothing. Each store had less than 20. Last edited by bachviet : 12-17-2006 at 11:31 AM. |

We went to BB and they only had 21, and people had been there since 10 pm. Oh well. There were also lines at TRU, and Target. I accept defeat gracefully for the warmth of my bed (it was 34 at 7:30 when we got there)

I was out Saturday morning with other people and nothing. I went to Gamestop to play it, and the guy said that he expected more this week.

Amazon posted yesterday that they would sell some this morning at some time between 7:00 -> 11:00 AM. I was checking about every ten minutes, at about 8:50 AM the same message remained, and around 9:00 AM the message changed to "sold out"!
Missed it again...
