natansyd Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Phew!!! After that fiasco with LikSang, I didn't think I'd get one on preorder (as a mom of very small children, I cannot do the 'camp' out thing). Anyhow, I by chance got in on the very first Amazon preorder on 9/15. I just got my confirmation that my Wii has shipped via DHL one day shipping!!! Im so excited! Plus I didnt have to buy a bundle :) I was also lucky enough to get the component cable before they sold out. I put in a back up preorder with Walmart about a month ago. Im not sure if I will get that one or not.
ortizcarina Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Please help>>>> When exactly does Wii get released? I live in california if that helps?
dolphinmom Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 The wii is available Nov. 19th at 12:01 a.m.
RossMAN Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 My Wii shipped from Amazon today :)Yeah yeah rub it in Is my jealousy that obvious?

I was just going to post this
rschellinger Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 My order is in. The Poker game is most likely a complete bust, but the other games should be fun.
HollyBerry Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Ordered the Wii via Amazon this morning.... That was the lowest bundle I have seen and I do want the MonkeyBall Game so that is good. Perhaps I can sell the other games...hmmmm to get my Zelda.
cberrytech Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Just cancelled the bundle that I ordered at Wal-Mart yesterday. I am not willing to wait until December for some of my games.
paisleyprincess Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Pre order now at radioshack.com NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just got mine in woohoo I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!
tmkuroda Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Just curious. I am still on the fence on the Wii. Is this something that if I decide in December I want to go ahead and get my kids will I still be able to get it? Trying to debate if I need to go get in line again or not i guess is what I am saying.There will be plenty of them but it is not as if it is going to be super easy to get them. You will have to call around after the launch to find out wha stores will have them and get to the store early because I am sure that as soon as they get on the shelves they will fly off for the next few weeks. Tina
kboyts Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 i just cancelled my walmart order as well. Decided that I didnt want to spend that much on quite a few games that I wouldnt have bought otherwise.
cberrytech Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Just placed an order at Radio Shack for just the console. I feel much better about that than the bundle deal I almost went through with at Wal-Mart. Thanks for the notice about Radio Shack! I will be staying in my warm bed tonight instead of risking my life in a line.
tmkuroda Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Pre order now at radioshack.com NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just got mine in woohoo I'm so happy!!!!!!!!!!!I bought two:) YES!!! I stood outside for the PS3's for over 24 hours in the rain/sleet/snow and didn't get one so I was happy to pay $36 for nextday shipping:) The grandkids are going to be happy now!Tina
cassie24 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Just to warn you all who ordered through Radio Shack, I'm reading on a wii board that alot are being told they backordered and they still are charged for them.

ortizcarina Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I just got the backordered email. That sucks. Guess I will cancel it and stand in line afterall.

Lee Initial post I was on hold for 40 minutes, but they said THEY HAVE THEM IN THE WAREHOUSE, AND THEY WILL SHIP ON TUESDAY (11/21). They are on backorder now, because they cannot sell them now because it doesn't come out til tomorrow. Hope this answers a lot of questions. Call them if you have ??'s.
cberrytech Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I was on hold with Radio Shack for 30 minutes, only to be told that they will not know until Monday or Tuesday if they will have enough units to fill everyone's order. He said he wished they would just pull it from the site. I just called a Wal-Mart off the beaten path. They said no one is in line yet and they received about 20 units. It is looking like an option at this point.
ortizcarina Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I bought two:) YES!!!

eisens Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Weird, because it is still showing up as orderable. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2547746&cp=2032062.2032401&parentPage=family
jem3297 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I just got a backorder email from Radio Shack. I had placed my order about 1.5 hours ago. I callled and they said they are all preorders. They sold out their original stock very fast. All the other orders will be filled as it comes back in stock. He wasn't sure if that would be before Christmas or not. I canceled my order because I didn't want to take the chance.
coldmorning Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Just cancelled my order with Radio Shack. What a complete dissapointment. It was hard to get thru to their 1-800 but once I did it was easy to cancel. Guess I'll stay up tonight and try to order thru Amazon.com.
lovebears65 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Man that sucks what Radio shack is doing I hope all that is wanting one gets theirs tomorrow. My DH went to Kmart yesterday and they did not do preorders and they said they got in 40 units so you might want to try there. Got my phone call from gamestop to pick ours up at 11 am
elkkthunder Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 picked up super monkey ball at walmart today
coldmorning Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I didn't think the stores could sell the games yet, it hasn't been launched?!
elkkthunder Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I didn't think the stores could sell the games yet, it hasn't been launched?! bought it at walmart today
cassie24 Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 My son was told by Best Buy that they got 80 units in and they didn't even have that many people waiting in line for PS3. Plus he said they will be getting more shipments between now and Christmas. It sounds like these will be alot eadsier to get.
HollyBerry Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 picked up super monkey ball at walmart todayThe actual GAME??? It is not released yet!!! How did you do it?
