FYE is an actual store, but they are way to overpriced. A normal CD you could get at Target for $13.99 is like $23.99 there. No joke. But back to the Wii shortage. I too have seen a lot of stores around me selling out and fast. But if you are really desperate to get one and not pay way to much, hit me up. I got a buddy in the UK who works for a Nintendo manufacturer and he should be able to get one fairly cheap. I would just have to stroke his ego a bit and tell him how is way cooler than me and has the most amazing hair ever (he is worse than a woman when it comes to his hair).

Last year our boy's wanted one for Christmas and we were not able to get it till April! My husband is friends with a Manager of Toy's R Us and he told him to talk to him next time because they will let the employs set aside a few when they get a shipment. So now we are able to get the sought after games and gears and not get a rain check!

Sounds like everyone is having problems!!! (but a few of you have some connections) I went to Target this afternoon they told me that all Target stores get their shipments on Saturday nights and it is best to come to Target on Sunday mornings.
Like I said earlier, I sat at Gamestop last year for hours waiting on the UPS man. (the manager told us there is NO guarantee I am getting any Wii's today) but I waited anyway. I was 3rd person in line ....there was about 30 people behind me. When the UPS man got there ...he had 6 Wii's. Everyone that did not get one was really pissed off.
I have a feeling it is going to be as bad this year as it was last year. So if you see one you had better grab it.

The best way to get a Wii is to check all of your local stores, and see if they get shipments in the same day every week, and then be at the store when it opens the next day. Angiedoogles and I looked forever to find one (and this was right before summer), and they were still sold out. Once you get your Wii however, I highly recommend Guitar Hero 3. I love it!! Also, if you need a second wiimote, buy the wiiplay game, because it comes with a wiimote, and is only 10 dollars more than the wiimote itself. Hope this helps!

already??? wow!

Saleswman · 11-16-2007, 07:33 PM

People are selling them pretty reasonably....just ckd for a friend...

momof4CA · 11-16-2007, 07:50 PM

My DS (12) wanted a WII last year for christmas. We told him how they were to hard to come by. I pointed out everything we saw in the paper and online about how hard they were to get. I really didn't want him to have his heart set one it. Santa is good...but even he (she) can't get everything!

We ended up finding a web site, that kept track of all the online stores and posted when WII's were available. My DH actually purchased one online, a few weeks before Christmas. Boy, was my son surprised!!

yorkiegirl83 · 11-16-2007, 08:11 PM

I sold one on here a while ago.. we just never played it so it was collecting dust

I didn't realize they were so hard to get! We got one the first day we tried..

hannahsmom · 11-16-2007, 08:18 PM

They always have 3 or 4 at our Walmart. Same for Game stop. I guess its just the area you live in. They're easy find around here.
