Are Nintendo Wii's still out of stock everywhere?

Sweet! Never been locked before.

I mean, uh, sorry, it won't happen again I'll try to stay on topic.

The only Wii's I've seen are at Costco (brand new store) and in people's houses.

Agreed! I do apologize to any parties I have offended!

Sorry guys!

I didn't realize we strayed that far from the topic, but after reading those posts, I guess we did.....

it is my fault and I do take responsibility for that, if someone needs to take the fall!

I returned a cruddy HD antenna to a local Walmart today, and stopped by the "electronics" department out of habit.

After talking with an employee and another customer about Halo3 I asked if there were any Wii's in stock. I got in the habit of asking wherever I went, whenever I went anywhere near games about six months ago. I would ask periodically before that, and had never been told "yes".

Today I got a "well, maybe".

The guy explained that they had just gotten a truck in with ONE Wii on it. He wasn't sure if it had been checked in yet, but said he'd go find out for me.

Five minutes later he's walking towards me, a Wii in hand.

Yes, this IS an E-rated post ;-)

Six months, an estimated 500-1,000 inquiries, and just one Wii.

Either they're still scarce here, or maybe some people are just hoarding them. I'd say still scarce... just one in a shipment? Maybe if supply was higher demand would be lower? <shrug>
