Just like 'DanTheWiiMan' said this is a universal delivery time you can expect you local GS/EB to get the shipments between 11 and 1145. i give this range of time because sometimes they have gotten there shipments at 1110 and sometimes 1145. So i would suggest giving your self some time to kill and go play the Wii at the store while you wait.
NOTE: if you call them aroung 1030 or go there they "should" be able to tell you if they are infact getting there shipment.

I will try to find out about the GS in canada for you. What part of canada??
EDIT: depending on the location of the store you should see 3-5 units per smaller more hiden locations and 5-10 units per bigger more popular stores
So it shouldn't be a problem, if i get there around 10:45 and ask if they are getting some in? They won't mind me loitering? hehe
@FFIII - where do you get your info on GameStop, and are you sure it's for most of the US? My Gamestop usually seems to get their shipments around 10:30, and they said they wouldn't be selling any Wiis until the 17th...just trying to find out if it's a waste of time to go hang out there or not.

My info comes from GS an UPS. In some areas they have said that they wanted to save some Wii's for the big sales on the 17th but from what i have been told this is only a few select stores around the country. I would suggest calling you local GS/EB and just ask when they usually get there shipments. From what ive been told its rare to see a store get them that early.
NOTE: i walked into 3 different GS on friday looking for some stuff and preordering WiiPlay! and all of them recieved shipment and got on average 7 units a store and had people in line buying them. I sent a friend of mine over last wensday to get his and he showed up at 1045 played the Wii until 1125 when UPS got there and he was 1 of 3 waiting (they got 5 in) and within 5 mins of standing inline 10 people showed up trying to get the last 2
Hmm...maybe it's worth trying the Gamestop in the mall near me...it was the one next to Target that said they were holding them til the 17th. I may go Wednesday and hang out at the mall Gamestop. You can't find out shipment info for specific stores, can you?
sometimes, if you get me a location. More or less just let me know what region and ill see what i can find out.
I live in Athens, GA 30605. There are three Gamestops w/in a reasonable distance from me:
1)Gamestop : #2663
Target S/C
2)EB Games #4090
@the Georgia Square Mall
3)Gamestop #2453
Winder, GA
Any help at all you can give me would be great. I can't camp out on the 17th for various reasons, so I'd love to be able to get one before then.

Sorry to start a trend, but I don't think FF3 actually has shipment numbers or anything...he just has an idea about general trends in different regions. I just gave him that info JIC.

Any GS confirmed Wed or Friday shipments? Kinda hoping they would hold till Sunday...any word?
Well, now I know one reason it is so difficult to find a Wii. Dr. Phil just gave away Wii's to every member of his audience today. So tell me why he was able to buy so many.
Everyone here in central illinois says Sunday the 17th. Sounds like one last chance before Christmas to have a Wii. I sure hope there aren't that many of us left that have not gotten our Wii so they will be easy to get on Sunday. Best of luck to everyone.
The 17th could be the worst day to try because for all the moms and dads and everybody else looking for a Wii christmas its the last shot at one before Christmas.
the chances of gettin a wii now are slim...i heard that the only way you can even get one this year is if you had a preorder or somethin....but i dont kno if thats true...im just happy i have mine....sorry
I'm pretty lucky, my mom is going to take me to Nintendo World on the 16th to try to get my Wii... wish me luck getting one
If not, I still have a chance at getting one the next day, so I'm hoping I'll be a little happier this weekend than I have been the following ones. Good luck to all still searching.
all those who gave me GS locations. I am just waiting to here back on them. I should know by tomorrow morning.
it will be pretty difficult to get a wii this weekend. not only you'll have to fight through angry moms, mob dads, slow-yet-make-you-feel-guilty-grandmas, but worst of all....the ebayers that are inline for their last shot to make big bucks on the new consoles. the next console launch to make money would be a galaxy far far away.
There seems to be a chance at Best Buy and Target on the 21st. Also, my friend who works at Wal-Mart said he say something where they will be holding them til the 28th.
