Who do I hafta blow to get a Wii?
Geez... week after week we try Gamestop, Toys R Us, Circuit City. Week after week we're sent away, Wiiless and forlorn.

Sigh...

1. Check out some of the smaller towns
a guy I worked with drove 2 hours to a wal-mart (eww!) in a small town, they had 3 in stock. I would call first, though.

6. I'm still looking, too.
I can find expensive bundles, but they all include games I don't want.

10. we're in N. Texas and just before X-mas
had resigned ourselves to the fact that our son would not have a Wii for months. We had been checking all of the big places as you mentioned and one day decided to stop in to a local shop that is family owned. he still had two pre-orders he had not filled but offered to put us on a list and would call us as soon as he had one. We ended up buying a gift card from him so that our son would be able to open a gift on x-mas morning. It took about a month because he's a small shop he was only getting one at a time but we finally got ours. It is well worth the wait. I am not a gamer at all but I love playing Wii sports with the kids.

12. I'm not falling for that trick
again. I probably shouldn't have fallen for it the third time, either.
