I must be way behind and missed something. I finally decided to get the dam a Wii so I head out to Target and then gamestop. Why is this thing still so hard to find? It's been out for like 2 yrs.

It is what it is dude. Just don't try to find Mario Kart with it, I have friends that have been looking since it was released.

We got one for Christmas since the wife and kids were interested.

One word: overhyped.

I'm gonna pick up a PS3 next spring which will be come our de facto Blu-ray player.

A friend mentioned that Walmart sometimes gets a shipment of Wii's on Tuesday. I needed some plastic spoons so I went there and decided to check out their electronics section. One of the clerks was actually stocking a wii into the display case and I immediately told him that I want it. I told him I would be back in a couple of minutes because I had some other shopping to do. When I came back he was going to pull another one out of the stock room but ended up just selling me the one that was on display.

Ever since I first played Mario Kart on the Wii a couple months ago I've been on the prowl, but my interest has somewhat subsided. Lots of good 360 games left to play...

The Wii has reached a demographic not typically interested in video games: the elderly. Because the game involves movement of the participant, it has been purchased by many nursing homes as a way to provide light exercise for their residents.

Target usually gets their their new stock of Wii's put up on Sunday Morning.

My wife bought one online, and it took just a couple of weeks to get. Most stores get them in periodically and sell them first come, first serve. Pick a store and find out when their shipment comes in. The Wii is cool, but a little overhyped. I still wouldn't trade it for my 360, but there are some cool game options for it.

Go to Best Buys in WDM on Sunday morning. They usually get a shipment of 45. We bought ours about a month ago and found it there when nobody else had one. They will give you a slip of paper that you can redeem at the customer service counter.

We got there about 2 hrs after they opened and got #35 out of 45.

As much as I hate to make Sony money, hold off long enough for the newly announced 160GB system.

I was told that due to the strength of the Euro versus the dollar much of the production is being sent to Europe instead of the USA. I have foud some at Walmart on a Tuesday morning though.

I dont think the wii was overhyped at all. I just think hardcore gamers expected it to do what it wasnt meant for. Its a great companion system to the other two. I am patiently awaiting the next Zelda. Its why I buy nintendo products.

I actually am looking to sell mine. I just bought it like a month ago or so. I have mario kart, wii fit, sonic and mario at the olympics, sonic zero gravity riders, wii sports and wii play. I am a teacher/coach and have literally no time at all. Sorry, not trying to take an ad out, just saw some people were looking to buy one. I looked forever before I finally got my wii and mario kart/wii fit. If anyone is interested, you can send me a pm. Not at all looking to screw anyone or make a profit at all. Just don't have time for it...
