"I dont like the idea of a raffle im glad i have mine already so i dont have to go through that crap, but good luck to those of you who are trying WalMart tomorrow"
I've heard this too. Can you confirm that all walmarts will be having a raffle tommorrow morning?[/quote]
I havent heard anything about it but i havent really looked into it but from the sounds of most people on here a raffle will be held at most walmarts but i think it just depends on your region
BBY Report:
Landcaster, MA: 0 shipped
Seattle, Washington: 0 shipped
As for Burlington, Ontario, it seems as though Canada's Best buys are on a separate system as I couldnt find the store number.(If you have it, let me know)
It appears that no other best buys in US at least have any in shipped status so don't expect them too soon.
I will be able to update again on thursday evening so if you have any store specific inquirys (including availability of accessories), post here or PM me.
Happy hunting.

I think it must be regional--the walmarts around me are all first come first served. I'm in CA

Thanks for checking that out for me Piraatbill, i appreciate it! I'll have to check out target and CC for this weekend maybe, seems like bestbuy is a 0 so far.
My local gamestop said that the shipment is ananymous and said there will be less than 5 of em.now thats dumb
Went to two Wal-Mart raffles this morning...no Wii
What is Best Buy doing??? Feeling dumb lining up early and going home empty handed.
I'm surpised.....No reports of walmart winners yet.......Fire up the stories..
@wiidiculous - Lottery's stink man....sorry man
Good luck to all you Wiigetters. I hope you guys find one
I have my Wii, got it last weekend at Target; thanks to this thread. However, my brother does not have one yet, in spite of his constant search in the outskirts of the state of Indiana!
So he gets up early every single day and checks his Best Buy, and Target, to no avail. Come today he found out that the local Walmart would have 10 that were going to be released at 8am Weds Morning. Sweet, right!!! So come to find out it is a 24 hr Wal-mart...in a college town. He figured a 4AM arrival should lock in a Wii. Nope, not at all...he gets to Wal-Mart to the electronics department as instructed by the manager when he called earlier in the week. The person in electronics said everyone was over in home and garden...yep, you figured it out. Since it was a 24hr store people just camped inside the store for a day!!! We were very surprised to hear that Wal-MART allowed this to occur. There were 10 Wii's and over 13 people settled in...
He still has no Wii. the 24hr thing sucks. I'd, and he'd much rather battle it out in the cold...since then people are less likely to start 24hr ahead!...
I'm starting to give up.
Wal-Mart had 25.
They raffled them off...
I wasn't even close to getting one...
- Your willess friend-
Well i see that now it will be hard for anyone who hasnt gotten a wii to get one before christmas. You can try online places or just simply show up at stores as they open, but according to this site and others it seems there will be no more confirmed shipments!
I managed to get 2 wii's last sunday, one for target the other from circuit city. I waited at target for 30 minutes while gf waited at cc for 4 hrs! We both managed to score one so now i guess i ll just sell one since ive managed to get enough wii s for me, my family and close friends!
Dont lose hope!
Good luck to those that are still looking, if not you can always play the ebay game!
Ive given up
No more waiting in lines only to be dissapointed
Ive spent too much time on this with nothing to show for it
ill try again after the new year
Target and CC could still be a possibility for Sunday and also keep trying Toys R Us they have a contract with Nintendo so they could get random shipments to stock anyday
I'm surpised.....No reports of walmart winners yet.......Fire up the stories..

A friend of mine in the St Louis area got one this morning from Walmart. She and her sister got in line before midnight and were #2 and 3. That Walmart had 13 Wiis.
My Wife tried Walmart in Columbus Indiana, she was there on business. She called them last night around 8 and they told her they didnt' know when they would sell them, but that he was trying to get his manager to find out. She called again around 11:30PM and was told they 7 and that they already has 7 people inline for buying them at 8 am. So no wii for me as of yet.
Heard Walmart was getting some in this morning. So last night I went to check out the line and there were already tons of people ready to camp out. =[ I guess my friend will have to wait for her Wii.
Woo! Just got my Wii at walmart this morning after considerable drama. As for you best buy hopefuls, I wouldn't start lining up before they open just yet, because as of tuesday none were in shipped status. I'll be giving another update tomorrow though.
Good luck!
