I've been swinging back and forth on getting a Wii for a year and a half now, and I think the time has finally come to pick one up. My younger brother-in-law is also wanting one as well, so I'm doing my best to help get him one too.
Anyone have any tricks up their sleeves about finding one these days? I haven't seriously hunted one since the week they launched, and I've only ever seen one in a store for sale (and at the time was not in the mood for one).
Hints? :D

well check places that you wouldn't normally think to have them, e.g. Toys R us. Their stock seems to last longer than the Best Buys, Eb's and Wal Marts of the world.
It also helps to have an in with the manager, that's how I got mine. Often times the stores will have them but won't be allowed to sell them until a specified time. Having an in can help you circumvent that.
I think new Wiis usually stock on Tuesdays, so tmr might be a good day to check but go in the morning. (that's key)

I got one a Target Graceland a couple weeks ago. Went in on a Tues evening to get the usual stuff and there they were. Was told it was somewhat unusual and that Sundays are the usual time when they are put out. Confirmed by a pharmacist I know at a Target as well.

But had to wait a week (eBay). Brand new at retail prices. Curious where the eBayers get 'em.

Call MicroCenter on Bethel (326-8500) and ask for Gen. Sales or Gaming. If they have them in stock, ask them to hold one. They usually hold for 24 hours. If they won't, tell them Larry Bueller told you this... :lol:

Some friends used this website and it worked great. Use the Wii finder widget and it will track for Wiis and alert you when it finds one in stock. my friends were able to get one from Toys 'R Us fairly quickly thanks to it.
