    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.

    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.
    It doesn't get any more serious than a Rhinocerus about to charge your ass.

    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.
