HollyBerry Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Has anyone check with the game stores next to the video stores ie Game Craz, Game Rush At my Game Crazy they still have them in stock?? It seems that these stores get overlooked because they are in a video store for some reason. Just a suggestion.Is that like a GameStop? I have never heard of Game Craz, Game Rush.Oh yea...we have checked everywhere. Here in the Dallas MetroPlex it is very hard to get one due to the demand here. Too many PEOPLE!
Guest JeepMom Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I'm so frustrated at this point. No one in this town knows when any will come in. I live two hours from any other towns. I really don't want to drive that far so we're going to sit tight and wait.
boblin119 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 At a walmart near my house, they have quite a few of the wii remotes and nunchucks. For some reason this walmart gets looked over for everything new.
mh1973 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Our local walmart just said they probably wouldn't get any until after Christmas, I think she's full of it.
bmwmommykids Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Talked to a Best Buy "blue shirt" today and he told me *wink wink* that he will be inline tomorrow morning at 6am (his day off) to try to get a Wii. I really want one, but I am a little worn out from BF still. Anyone else hearing that BB will have a minimum of 20 per store tomorrow?
mh1973 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 they won't give me a straight answer!! UGH!!! It's driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I am telling you....It reminds me when we hunted "beanie babies" down from McDonald's.
deanabrown Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I was at my Best Buy earlier and the guy confirmed that they will have Wiis tomorrow. He also mentioned that they will have the units, but no controllers.

I am hoping to get one waiting in line at 7.
davenet Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Just stopped by my local Fred Meyer to check on things. The guy there told me he sold his last one from today's shipment about 30 minutes ago. He said the earliest he would have any more is Thursday, but he doesn't know if any will be in that shipment.

T0mmy Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 What time does BB open tomorrow? Is it 10Am or is it early this weekend?
JayDouble Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 What time does BB open tomorrow? Is it 10Am or is it early this weekend?I believe it's 10am. Checked my local BB and no one in line yet.
Jeremy9991 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I need a controller and nunchuck any ideas?
pjys Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Best Buy in Albany NY is handing out coupons NOW with instructions to be back within half an hour of the store's opening. 2 trucks will be coming, my son has ticket number 41... He's 10 and oh so excited! Thanks to all who gave me the heads-up about best buy for this morning...you're the best!!!
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 They are to video game stores inside blockbuster & hollywood videoInteresting....So your Blockbuster's/Hollywood Video's do not sell/rent video games? I have never seen that store inside a movie rental place. Since I have Netflix, I haven't been inside a Blockbuster in 2+yrs....I will bet they sell accessories as well. Thanks for the reminder!
deanabrown Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I need a controller and nunchuck any ideas?The only suggestion is to keep checking. Look at stores that get the highest supply of items in your area or ones that have less traffic. Find out when your local stores get shipments in and what time of day they stock thier shelves. If you can find the product code, some places will check let you check the stock through the self scan. Other suggestion would be to call, call, and call some more. Worst case would be to purchase off eBay, but I heard a rumor that they may be another shipment around mid-December for Wii controllers. Its just rumor now, but it might be able to be confirmed as it gets closer.
gummibear Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 The WM ad out on Thur. advertised the wii system, for $249. In small print about the ad it said "available 12/6" - anyone know anything about this? Will they be generally available, as in, lots of them, or will just a few come in then? A sales assoc. in the dept. told me they had 9 coming in but didn't know what day. I'm in a small town, and WM is our only dept. store, no BB or anything, so I guess I'll check it out each day - good news is that it's only a 5 min. trip - in and out, and back home if no luck in 15 minutes.
boblin119 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 If anyone is looking for the wii controllers and are in central illinois, let me know as there is a store that has a ton of the remotes, nunchucks, and the original controller.
HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 OOhhh...hold me back....The "big shipment" to our BB was 14 units. Yea...we missed that. As far as the WM ad, don't know why they would print that. I do know that they are supposed to release another 250,000 units, at least that is what I heard.
bmwmommykids Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 There were 30 Wii's at my BB this morning. I got there a little aftter 7am and was #10 in line. I got one. #30 in line got there about 9:30. He got one too. #1 in line was there at 1:30am. He was kind of PO'd at #30. No Wii remotes, though. I can't find one of those anwhere!!
gunitwrx Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Best Buy in the Lanesborough had a HUGE shipment of 17 all gone and tickets given out....
T0mmy Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 YOu know I gots me one. I'm bringing it to my buddies place to play during halftime. Can't wait to check it out. I have 4 games being delivered from Toys R Us, so I didn't buy anything else with it. I wish you could find controllers somewhere though.
Passthecrablegs Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Got to Best Buy at 9:20 and they gave out 26 tickets and we were 40 in line. Missed out again. CC was out and so wa Traget. Get to ToysRUs and saw a man buying three WII's and two Elmos and asked if there were more Wii's and no he got the last three. I am always on step behind. Been that way with online too. I had the bundle from Walmart in my cart and after I type in my credit card it says something in my cart sold out. I live online looking for this thing and when I get off for an hour it pops up and sells out while I am off line. I hate this. I am almost ready to buy one on EBAY even if it costs me three times the price. And these stores lying and saying they don't have them so they can sell them in an ad later is pissing me off. If I am in a store and they are in the back they should sell them now.
mh1973 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I got a wii at best buy this morning!! YEA!! I was there at 7:30 and was #15 in line, they had 18, I was so excited. I bought the replacement plan that best buy has, wasn't sure if I should or not but did. Then I went to walmart and got the extra controllers and the Monster 4x4 game which came with a free steering wheel, my son is going to be so excited!!!! Now I can cancel my order through JcPenney.
david622 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 that toys r us guy is a jerk. u should have mentioned what he was doing to a manager or something. if the manager was aware that one guy was getting 3 and you were getting nothing, they probably would have made things right.

HollyBerry Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 So how many of us here are still Wii-less?? Geesh... I hope by Christmas we can all say we got one. Glad some of you are getting them. We will see if my "amazon promise" comes thru. I am not holding my breath and DH and I still are looking.
brwneyedgirl Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 BB had 62 in my area this morning. Some people were there at 2 am waiting.
