I have been looking for a wii for this Holiday season, but every store is sold out.

then i started looking online and i came across this website www.craigslist.org.

its a website that people put up ads for local sells of anything. well i bought my

wii there and im glad i found that website. i hope the website can help you.

It's insane how in demand these consoles are. I got lucky and got one last year for Christmas. My dad went to Wal-Mart at 5 in the morning and waited for their next shipment to come in. He got one of only three available and we had a great Christmas.

Nintendo is stamping out Wiis as fast as they can, but demand exceeds supply by a large amount. Stores are getting them, but they don't last long on shelves. You have to put in a lot of effort, or get lucky, to find one at retail price.

Your Dad owns! :D lol.

If you have waited this long your only real choice is buy an over pirced bundle or pay twice the price its worth on ebay, personally I would go with the bundles.

Its crazy how hard they are to get. I got mine for Christmas last year and my mom had to get it under the table so no one else in the store could see that she got one at GameStop. My neighbor also got one last year but her Dad went to target and went there at 5:00 in the morning and got the last one out of 30. I hope everyone that wants a Wii can find one at a decent price because it is a great console.

yeah, the funny thing about that is they did a pole on the most wanted items for christmas, and it was an LCD tv, ps3, wii, and the 360. i dont see how that makes sense cause the wii never last more than a day, and even though ps3's sales r going up... u can still walk in and get one

Only reason for people getting a PS3 is because the Wii's are sold out. My wife bought me a Wii for my birthday in late November and now there aren't any anywhere! Good luck to all and a Merry X-mas!!

The supply and demand of the Wii is outrageous. Over 10m have been sold and there is still the hugest demand. :P Fanboys/girls can go away now.

I've called a lot of stores here in Houston and not one store has a single Wii. I called one Toys R Us store here and the manager told me that the demand is so high for the Wii that they have even had problems with people trying to high-jack the trucks that have the Wii's. I guess I may have to wait to find one until Jan. because I'll be damned if I'm going topay $450 to some individual or go on Ebay.....

OUT OF EXTREME LUCK I ACTUALLY GOT A WII IN TOYS R US DURING THE AFTERNOON ON DECEMBER 22 WITHOUT EVEN HAVING TO WAIT ON LINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as soon as i had walked in to the game section in TRU, around 3 o clock, they were putting out 4 wiis for sale. they were hiding i tbehind the counter to avoid a crash of people. nobody actually noticed the wiis except for me. we bought 2 right there then the other two were bought seconds after we got the receipt. they go fast, but my credit card went faster!!!!8)

Hi,
Try www.wizardprice.comthey have tuns in stock and me and my m8z have all ordered from them and we all got them, they even offered collection as i was very worried as loads say they are in stock but just take your money and vanish, luckily it has never happened to me but hearing it in the papers is a worry, well ive got a wii, this christmas see if they will delivery but it may be cutting it fine.
