Get to a video game store when they get their shipments in (where I live they get them in from 12-2).  Keep calling your stores and keep looking.

I gave up and just bought mine off ebay for $350. I was about to die and have waited 2 and a half months after the launch, still not having one, so I just said "Hell with it" and bought it. So glad I did.

im with you on that one bro you would think that the wii would be findable after two months after launch..... But WRONG this is starting to piss me off and i definately aint paying $500 for some stupid bundle online where personally in my opinion, the games that they include suck. Now all i want is the system and wii sports then with the rest of the money ill but VC games but i dont see that happening for another 30,000 years or however long nintendo makes a decent amount of wii's

No one is camping out, but it's impossible to find one anywhere. Personally I'd love to have one, and am probably going to buy one when they become available, which will probably be in like MAy if this keeps up.

I was lucky to get mine.  I was home on leave visiting the family when I told my parents I wanted a Wii if I could fiind one.  Just so happens, my mom was at Target earlier in the day and said she thought she saw some there.  So, she called them up and sure enough, they had a few.  I drove there so fast, I know for a fact I was going like 20mph over the speed limit.  There where 6 left but after I bought mine, two people picked one up.

I don't know. Already have one, so I haven't bothered checking how it is where I live.. Nintendo of Sweden have Wiis, though. I know this since they didn't hesitate to send me a new one when my old one broke.

EDIT: Seems like you've got to be the right person in the right place at the right time to get a Wii.. Spend your life to get a new Wii until you've got one, and I'm sure you'll get one pretty soon.

Ninendo underestimated how popular the nintendo wii was. Ironic that I'm finding Ps3's in stores but not wiis

I know someone and that is how I got mine. The good news is that Reggie said they are in the process of increasing production to 1 million a month.

when i visited oregon, i was lucky enough to actually find one.  it was at the most random spot too.  the place was called "Fred Meyer" and like most of the stuff in there is for grocery shopping, and there you have...a small electronic store ;O they only had 8 left so i had to grab one just before the day i went back to california..i must say its luck.  but if you just keep calling they'll eventually will give you a yes :D

It should be craigslist.com Without the s it does indeed go to a pornsite. If you haven't used craigslist.com before, you'll find it a very useful site.

i got really lucky in finding mine.  i went into bestbuy after a failed attempt at getting one at gamespot to get something for the 360 and there where none when i went in, but just as i was about too leave they set up a table with 4.  luckly i picked one up before thinking because they where all gone in 2 mins.

I'm with you, I haven't got one yet.  Most of my play time is going to friends'  houses which is brutally annoying (I like hanging out with my friends, but I can't play Zelda with my buddies busting my chops to play multiplayer).

It sucks even more that I own:

Zelda TP (SINCE LAUNCH)
Marvel UA
A Wiimote Nunchuk combo
Component Cables

BUT NO WII.

I gave up, I thought I'd start trying last week, and still noooooooooo luck.  Its ridiculous.
