WiiLoaded.com - Wii Forum and News

Yeah you should be fine, when I got mine at wal-mart, 13 people were there by midnight, I was 14 at 12:50, 2 more by 4:00, and bulk poured in after 6:00. 6:40=SOL. Then again the cold wasn't an issue as good ol' mr wallace let us wait inside.

About this thread dying, I will continue to try to help as long as people have questions, mainly on best buy(as that's my contact). Thanks kratos for confirming the sale date on 17th.

FYI: BBY store shipments report may be posted late Sunday afternoon as I can't make it home till then(Finals coming up!!!).

I told my peeps to go by Target tomorrow morning anyways...BUT...does anyone know of any days past Christmas yet? I arrive in the US on Dec. 24th, so obviously not then or the 25th, but I still really want to camp out for one (I think it would make a good story).

So, any news of any post-Christmas shipments? Surely they are gonna get some more shortly after right? Or not???

UPDATE: NO WII's TOMORROW it seems. PS3Seeker just updated, EVERYWHERE is listing Dec. 17th, none on Dec. 10th.

So, looks like the 17th is the last shot before Christmas everyone, both at Wal-Mart, Circuit City, and Best Buy. I don't know about TRU or anything.

Good luck everyone.

Yeah it even has Target down for the 17th getting between 10-50 so you guys that havent got one yet looks like it'll be another week without a Wii for some reason the 4th relaunch is skipping this week.

No Wiis at Toys R Us, either. I checked...anyone have an extra they want to trade for a 60GB PS3?

Haha, I'm trying to get a wii by trading a ps3 for it! Well...and plus the change...but also willing to trade a PS3 for 2 Wii's!

Yeah, I'd still want the Wii and the difference b/w their prices for it.

Sorry you guys, but Wii's are going for $700 now on Ebay. So anyone with a Wii will sell on there, then they can buy a PS3 straight up

I'm so surprised at this too...$700....but that really what they are going for, just look on Ebay.

I can say without a doubt because of many different places backing this up, (Best Buy definitely getting them the 17th) and my contact confirming this as well. It seems as if all places are getting them the 17th. As I said before, if your Best Buy doesn't get one the 17th, then Best Buy personally hates you.

any word on ebgames, walmart or futureshop in canada.
i am near a best buy until i go home for christmas (which happens
to be on the 15th!!!!!).
so i'm down to walmart, futureshop, ebgames, zellers, anything like
that. I just need to get info on whether they will have any on the 17th.
so any info would be great! i'm still looking...

also!!! for anyone in the toronto area, the best buy near wilson subway station has a bunch of wiimotes (but no nun-chuks) in stock.
i got one, even though i can't find a nun-chuk or a wii yet....
hope this helps someone...

I can't say about Canada, though. This only goes for ALL Best Buys in America.

There you have it, as I've said before these are all scheduled for delivery in 2 separate shipments(incase your store says they're getting less[not gonna be true]) to arrive on Thursday (Dec 14), but not to be sold until Sunday (Dec 17) as kratosmaster is certain, as well as others confirming this(Thanks cdrober).

If I missed your store, seem to have screwed this up in any way, or you want me to check on your store, just PM me and I'll update again on Tuesday.

Happy hunting!

Thanks for the update Piraatbill!

Any word on EB or GS shipments this week? Time and date of shipment would be awesome, I have 130 dollars credit there.

my contact said they should be getting them on wensday and possibly friday. They get there shipments between 11 and 1145 so if you go and hang out from like 1045 - 12 you should have a good chance of getting one. What area are you looking??

Canada! lol Any EB know how (or any store) in Canada?

Thanks for the update on BBY quantities. Very useful!

Is there anyone here that can get confirmed numbers for targets? A range of 10-50 is fairly problematic, as if its only 10 even getting there early morning may not be good enough (Midnight campers).

Also to the EB info guy, do all EB's regardless of time zone recieve thier shipments around 11-12?

IF thats the cae i may try that as well. (I am desperate!)

Thanks so much guys

I think EB/Gamestop pretty much receives their UPS shipments around noon everywhere from what i've got from most people on this forum, you can call and ask your local store and they'll usually tell you when they expect the UPS truck

my brother is in cleveland area. he stopped by last friday around 11. the clerk say they would have at five, my brother being the 5th in line. the ups guy came around 12 and he only had three. so same story over....no wii for the pig. but yes, seems like EB/GS would have deliveries at noonish.
