Why do I still need to camp out for a shot at a Wii?

Just you. The fact that they are still being sold above msrp on eBay shows that you just can't walk into a store on any given weekend and pick one up.

No actually I don't it just seems like alot of people feel this way. I've never seen a wii on the shelf since I bought mine on release day. I just love how people love to say that they have a ton of Wiis just sitting on a shelf at their local store trying to prove that the Wii isn't selling well. Give me a break.

I Just got mine. My mother happened to be in a Fry‘s for something else, asked and they had two. Had to buy it with another game, so I got Wii Play for the remote. Too bad the game blows.

The game stops here are looking to get more in next week. Our Target has the same sign up since Thanksgiving: Sorry, no Wiis.

Posting with the Wii isn't too bad.

I do believe the proper response when someone makes this claim is something along the lines of "pics or gtfo". I'll believe that stores can keep them in stock when I see them in stock at stores.

Meanwhile, the Gamestop near here has had a big "EMPTY!" sign on the Wii display boxes since launch.

Go to Denver, lots there apparently as Kris (QoF) just picked herself up one when visiting her brother ;)

Since getting mine I've had two people tell me they've seen them locally. It seems that around here, Nintendo may finally be catching up.

I saw one last week. I was in Gamestop for something else, and I overheard some other guy come in and ask if they had any Wiis in stock, and the clerk said yes, we have one left. He bought it.

That's the most I've ever seen.

I actually just got one today. though I had to go to CC an hour before opening to get a voucher.

The Meijer in my town had 7 in stock as of Friday. I was going to buy one, but I didn't have my CC with me.

May 27... A day that will live in infamy!

I finally got my Wii. I broke my no camp-out rule and arrived at my local Target 90 minutes before they opened and scored. Lucky I did, as they sold out within minutes. (I live in New Jersey)

Picked up the Wii with Play, Super Paper Mario and Zelda. Play is a tech demo, really, but the others are all good.

6 months and wow I thought they would on shelves now , I thought wrong.

Well, still EXTREMELY difficult to find or get around my area. I got word that TRU was getting them today, and shot over to the store in Wayne around 9am. Surprising to see a line of about 30 people already there....heh. I lucked out bigtime tho. A cashier was at the door and announced that they had one ticket left for someone who wants one. You can guess who got that last ticket ;)

Quite a few more people came while I was on line, only to be turned away. 39 units shipped, 39 units sold before the store even opened. The Nintendo Store in NYC gets them every morning around 7, and are completely sold out ever morning around 8. So, yeah, I would say it is still pretty hard for us to get here on the east coast.

I was wandering around in the Best Buy here in the NW Arkansas area and was surprised to find a big ol' stack of Wiis. First time I've seen in on the shelf before.

I live in a medium sized town called Kingman(Arizona). And Wii's have really only been readily available for a couple weeks now. They still seem to be selling out pretty quick, but atleast we have them in stock finally.
