Wii
Anybody have any luck finding one? I can't seem to find one besides on ebay for big money. I have been trying Gamestop/Walmart and all of the big chain stores since a month before christmas but nothing. My wife is driving me nutts about finding one.

I got mine in December 2006. Your best bet is to hit a Target or Walmart early on a sunday morning. Their Sunday ads would tell you if they're getting any in.

I got mine in Dec 07 at Walmart in Cordova and totally lucked into it.
Turns out they get shipments on Tuesdays and they were unstocking them as I walked into the Electronic department. They told me they got them on Tuesdays. Who knows!

I tried gamestop last week and I call daily but they say they usually don't know when a shipment is coming. I go up to my 24 hour walmart after midnight occasionally and inspect the pallet with boxes they have sitting out, but I haven't seen one. I was able to grab an xbox on the first launch but this booger seems even tougher to get. Would be fun to have. I got the flu and It really is boring sitting around here with nothing to do but eating chicken noodle soup and popping pills.

I was at the Best Buy on Winchester on Dec. 27 and they had 25-30 sitting on the shelves. I haven't checked since though. Might have just been there right after they put them out.

RE: Wii
My mother in-law found one last week at Best Buy in Cordova. she went at 6 am on a Sunday and waited until they opened. They must get them on the weekend. She was probably just lucky. And she couldn't even ask me if I wanted to go with her so I could get one. I have been searching daily. Someone told me that the Walmart in Somerville and Dyersburg had them as of yesterday, but hadn't had the time to make the drive.

they get them during the week and hold them on Sundays because of the Sunday ads in the paper.

I got mine at the Gamestop here. I was checking daily back before Christmas for another one for a friend of mine, but had no luck.

I know this won't help you any, but the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08 is the bomb.

RE: Wii
I lucked into our Wii. There is a guy who always camps out the morning they get them in at the Sams near me. One morning as I was checking out I noticed one on the top of the locker and asked about it. I was told it was missing parts. I asked to examine it and found everything that is supposed to be in the box. Evidently a worker had used that excuse to try and get one away from the ahole redneck that camps out and grabs them all to sell on Ebay. I bought it and it is a blast to play.
More on the redneck ahole. He also camps out the morning they have their xmas goodies stocked and buys up almost all the good stuff then puts it on Ebay. If he doesn't sell it after an auction or two he then returns it to Sams for a refund. Dude is real pond scum. I don't have a problem so much with the camping out and buying it up but returning it because you over bought??? Asshat.!

I found one last August at the WalMart on Winchester. Last one they had. I then went to Target on the other side of the BMP and they had about 20.
