Ok this is what you do. If you have a Best Buy, Circuit City or any other tech stores call them everyday and ask if they have one and if they do you get there as fast as you can. Nintendo makes this hard because usually the shipping days are random. So just call everyday.

I live in the NY area and I see them all the time. Maybe it's because I'm just lucky, but the last time I went to EB they had just got a shipment in of 12 Wiis and I sat there and laughed with the people working cause they had a line of about 30 people waiting.

Up until a couple of months ago that's how it was here, Sudbury (northern) Ontario. But now you can go anywhere and find a bunch of Wii's. Walmart has them, EB has them, even the Great Canadian Superstore (a big grocery store which sells electronics, dishes, clothing, everything.)

keep looking, though I agree with the others... go online and buy one if you feel comfortable with it, that's how I got my 360.

OMG! Thats soo cheap, but I'm worried if its legit. Is it? I have never heard of the site. I mean starwind.com

And also, is it possible to order from the walmarts, and the bestbuys in places like Ontario that HAVE the Wii?

ebgames.com is running presale bundles. Last I looked (couple days, so it could've changed easy) wal-mart.com was a running a bundle deal too, available at that time.

edit: scratch walmart.com, sold out now.

I got lucky on mine. The first day I went to all the stores in the area (Best Buy, Circuit City, WalMart) to see what day they get their shipments in. Then you just have to keep checking and try to get there early. The guy at Best Buy told me they were getting a shipment of 3 in either that night or the next day, a came in later that night and there were 2 left. You just have to try and get to the store early the day that they say they are getting shipments in.

its not hard its called tracking down shipments by getting info. Then on the day wake up early and make sure your one of the first handfull of people to get in that store. If you don't do that GG till you move to a less populated center or someone gives you one or you wait about another year xP

If it looks too good to be true it probably is. Why on earth would you think it's possible to get a Wii from someplace on line cheaper than all the regular retail stores are selling it? It simply does not make any sense. Then there's the method of payments available, I only see things where you send a money order, nothing secure and fixable like a credit card or paypal. Want to keep costs low? Roll the paypal fee into the price. Lesse, paypal fee of 3% on 227 is 6.81. Together that would still be cheaper than anywhere else. Know why they don't accept paypal? Cause paypal doesn't let you scam people. Save your money and find one locally.

Focus on one store. The one that has the most in one shipment and that's closest to you. That's how I got mine and I've had it since January 28th. (I still remember that magical night)

I have been in contact with that site and so far so good. They are based out of the US but they do accpet paypal which negates the previous argument...we placed an order so if it all checks out i will be happy to repost an update. I am in TN so you know i'm not someone working for the site to promote them.

I don't even need to Google that (How did "Google" become a verb anyways? Hmmm) to know what the secret is, it's called the "Law of Attraction." Am I right?
