[Themop75]

I got a Wii from Toys R Us today!!! They told me it wasn't supposed to be there until tomorrow, but they got them early.

Is a 1gb sd card sufficient enough for the the wii??

[disneynutangie]

How much are the ones at TRU? Do they include a game?

[Themop75]

The one that I got was $249.....it included one game, which was the sports one.

[disneynutangie]

Well it sucks. My TRU said 12 tomorrow morning. I just got back because a guy came out after me waiting and waiting to tell me they had 10. I was number 11.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY A SD CARD.WII COMES WITH ENOUGH MEMORY.

[t_mulkey]

My local Toysrus said they will not get anymore until after Christmas.

[lovebears65]

Good Luck on anyone trying to get one for their kids.. I hope you all find them in time for Christmas:yup:

[rosalia1]

EB Games has gotton some Wii's in today. Don't know how many. You may want to call them first.

I wouldnt say that. Its internal memory will get filled rather quickly with downloaded games and game saves. Also some games (like Excite truck) allow you to play custom MP3 soundtracks from your SD card that you cant do with the internal Wii memory. But as for the question, yes 1 gig is plenty for a SD card.

Still searching for WII, any clues who might have them this weekend?

[jonesy]

We had 2 tru here. I have not been to the one near my office in quite some time. So I thought I would try there to see if they got any Wii in...... I hope not because when I got there I found it all boarded up. lol I guess I should have gone to the one that was open.

[jkansco]

Does anyone know if there are going to be any shipments this weekend? And if so what stores?

[fairydustcrissy]

I think it will be the 1st of the year before anyone gets any more. That's just a guess tho, so don't hold me to it.

[misstaken]

You can order the bundles (if that's what you're interested in) at the TRU site. They have them in stock right now.

[misstaken]

Of course they won't come until after Christmas!

[Guest JeepMom]

Internet Trial is Ok but making us wish we had bigger than 42" TV.

[fierymyst]

we scored a wii yesterday!! One of those lucky things, a guy at dh work... well his mom works for TRU and a couple of days ago she said it would be nice if she knew someone who wanted the wii or ps3 because she sees them all the time and would love to help someone. We weren't even looking for one, thought if we saw one, maybe we would think about it. By the time dh said we would take one there were none, well she got one in yesterday and we got it!!! Kids will be so surprised, don't think it ever occurred to them that they might get one, they mentioned it once and I just said don't count on it!!

 

Good luck to all!!

As mentioned many times before in this thread, there is to be no resale or eBay discussions at all. This includes selling to other members on the board. Anyone who continues to post about anything related to eBay or reselling will be banned - doesn't matter if you have 5 posts or 5,000. There have been more than enough warnings about this.

[noaimhere]

I also found the wii at TRU. I had the gamestop bundle that arrived on the 18thg - the day it promissed to ship.

 

I tried to find someone locally that wanted to have the bundle and finally returned it yesterday.

[nat77]

any one know when we will be able to get one?

[verbal8]

any one know when we will be able to get one?

There are decently reliable rumors of Best Buy having a shipment arriving in stores at the

end of the week and probably being sold on Sunday the 31st.

[ams_chris]

Wii bundle available now at CircuitCity.com [sold out in 5 minutes]

[dmmiller]

got my strap replacements today... anyone else?

I ordered 2, but 2 came in each pack, and I got 2 packs!

 

Gotta go and put them on now. :)

[gonzomom]

Yes, I got replacement straps today too. I ordered 4 but I also received 2 packs with 4 each!

[kodis97]

hey all! went to EB yesterday and the manager told me that they were starting to get a couple Wii everyday so the best bet would be to get there when they open. so you may want to call your local store and see what they say.

[Guest JeepMom]

Yes, I got replacement straps today too. I ordered 4 but I also received 2 packs with 4 each!

We had 8 show up the same way. We only have 2, I ordered 4 thinking we'd be set incase the kids got something on them.

 

Now I think we'll be set for life!

[fairydustcrissy]

Well, I hope mine show up soon, cuz I broke a strapp last night I was playing baseball, and the controller went flying. Yes, even after I said all that stuff about "knowing its a gasme, and not using full force". I broke it. Haven't told hubby yet, lol. The straps didnt come today, hopefully tomorrow.

[t_mulkey]

I didn't get the Wii before Christmas, but my boys recieved a "Santa Owes U" Certificate to take to any toy store for the Wii. The certificate told the store employee to charge the Wii to Santa @ the North Pole. Just so happened that our local Wal-Mart call yesterday and had a Wii for my guys that "Santa" had reserved. They were so excited. The day after was much better for Santa than paying way toooo much to the greedy. Our Wal-Mart received 11 yesterday. But "Santa" must of had them all reserved.
