I have been trying for weeks to get a Nintendo Wii at the regular price of $249.
It seems that all places are sold out. I tried Walmart, Target, Circuit City, Best Buy, GameStop, you name it. They are all out of stock.
The only places where I could find the Nintendo Wii are on ebay or at amazon where resellers are selling them at inflated prices ($500+).
I am not willing to pay more than the normal price for it.
Does anyone know of a place that has Nintendo Wii in stock???

dont go on ebay or other websites to buy next gen consoles, they are too expensive and where do you live? lol cuz there is a target, circuit city, bestbuy, and gamestop in NYC and they all seem to have the wii - why dont u order it off one of their sites? like circuit city, im sure they have free shipping

Are you serious??? I live in Philadelphia and I would drive to NYC to buy a Wii.
Please verify that they DO have it in stock and I'll drive up there to get one. I am only 2 hours away.
It's out of stock on their websites.

I was going to say "What you can't find one are you blind?" but then I noticed you live in America and apparently there harder to find over there.

Uh yeah there is a site like that?.... I don't know if it tells you about the Wii but it was telling you were you'd find a 360 early last year?

I tried several toys R Us stores around here and same thing. They told me they get very few Wiis and within minutes, they are sold out.
Same thing at Circuit City. The guy at Circuit City told me that they receive very few Wiis and they advertise on their saturday flyers if there are going to have Wiis in stock. He told that when they do, there is a line at the door before the store opens on Sunday and within minutes after the store opens, all the games get sold out.
I suspect some people are buying the consoles to resell them on ebay or amazon.

buy it online at target.com and you can use my discount. it's only 10% but that's like... sales tax and whatnot.

If you have a K-mart around then try that...if not then just try a big mall and see if they have a Wii there(there are usually random game stores in big malls)

I think you misunderstood him, what I got from his post is that there isn't a drought where he lives.
