@Xmanofsteel, found this in another thread, mabye this will help:
A site's just launched out of Winnipeg, Canada that crawls through seperate online shops to check if they have Wiis or PS3s in stock. It updates every 30 seconds so there's hope for those who havn't found a Wii yet. It's for Canadian retailers. I've given up hope on finding a Wii in stores so I'm looking at online retailers.

What is going on here? How come it's become extremely difficult to find a Wii, while PS3's are just lieing around? Is it because nobody knows they exist? It seems WiiSeekers are lucking out on this and making a profit, but does anybody else notice this?
BTW I can also confirm that BBY's are beyond a doubt getting stocks of Wii's on the 17th. This is beyond a doubt. My contact is a GM at a Bestbuy near me. I can without a doubt, because so many other people are also saying this at thier location, but if your store doesn't get any than that means that BBY personally hates you.
@Piraatbill
YOU'RE MY HERO!!!! **HUGE HUG!!!!!**
So, can anyone confirm that Circuit City is getting Wiis tomorrow? Are any other stores getting Wiis tomorrow? I still don't have a Wii (I suck, I know =P), and I need information before tomorrow. D:
JUST WAITED ON LINE AND BOUGHT A NINTENDO WII AT GAME STOP YESTERDAY
IF ANYONE HAD A PS3 I AM WILLING TO TRADE AND PAY $400 DOLLARS FOR THE PS3
Looks like this thread is coming to an end with too many people asking dumb questions, and not getting any answers. Mostly because people are getting their Wii's and not caring about us little guys anymore =(.
I'm still trying to find a Wii, myself...but it's hard to do when all the info here is for the US...and I'm in Canada...
Most of the people who were helping out with this thread didnt even really post anywhere else and got their Wii's and now they dont even come here anymore but Target could still have a chance tomorrow if not then you're probably outta luck cept EB/Gamestop till the 17th
i checked out 5 targets today (chicago area ) and all of them said none this weekend but at least 25 each on the 17th
GS and EBG will be getting them on wensday and friday ( not sure about monday) between 11 and 1145 am
i know my GS and EBG info is good because i have succesfully gotten 8 people wiis by telling them to just show up at GS at like 1045 and hang out till the shipment comes.
Like I said before, beyond a doubt next Sunday for BBY.
BBY? Assuming that's Best Buy? But how is it "beyond a doubt"?
Gamestop told me the 17th...
If i was you guys id just get up pretty early go to a few places and see if people were waiting in line or something if not id just go at open just to be sure but i havent heard anything about Wii's and tomorrow but i havent really looked into it that much since i got mine last Sunday but like i said id go check out whats going on early in the morning
Sounds to me like in my area, the only place that hasn't said they won't have Wiis tomorrow is TRU, so I may go out there a little while before they open and see what's up. It sounds like the big relaunch is the 17th, though...
Real quick: any stores FOR SURE getting some tommorow?

Not to be blunt, but no.

K, thanks for the quick response...best bet I guess is camping 16th or going GS on Friday right after Finals
This may seem like a silly question, but...
My father, a friend and myself are trying to get a wii. The 17th being our target. How early do you think would be suffieicnt to be in the first 10-20 people? Being there at midnight isn't really doable, as 2 of us work late. We might be able to manage 3-4am. Do you guys feel that will be too late?
Any advice appreciated!

That should be fine, just try and find out how many they have in advance. If they only have like 3 and there are 3 people in line dont waste your time. But i ve gotten to stores later than that and gotten a wii!
Yeah, just be there by 5 atleast but if theres nobody there when you arrive any earlier than that or so then go pick up some breakfast or something real quick and head back but i got to my target around 6AM last sunday and was only 7th in line most people in my experiences want to wait till like 30 minutes before open because of the cold weather but 3-5 should be plenty early
