Ok, dh decided we were going to get a WII.. mainly for the WII FIT. Well when we went to Walmart we got the WII Fit (or was it Target?) anyways, no console. We looked all over in our area for a console but NOTHING. Walmart said a few times they get them in on Tuesdays... Thought I could ask if someone can list places they have bought one.

Are they still in this high of a demand? and hard to find?

I have looked online at several places like amazon, circuit city, bestbuy, target, walmart and will keep searching but could use any help u can provide.

Thanks (btw, my 2 dd's are at grandma's for a few weeks HUNDREDS of miles away and this will be a HUGE surprise for them, plus dh and I really want to play to get fit)

Check your ads, and when a Wii is pictured in Target's ad, get there right as soon as they open on Sunday. I'm ASSuming that other Targets are like mine . . . for the longest time we only got them in when they were pictured in the ad, but they were gone very soon after the store opened. (I work there) Now we seem to get them a little more often, and hang onto them for longer. It's the Wii Fit that we can't hang on to now.

Do you have a Game Stop store in your area? My local one has them. Call them and ask. If they say "no, we don't have any.", ask what day they get them in (they usually get them the same day every week or every othher week.) Anyway, call them back on that day to see if they got any in. Good Luck! I'm going through this same process for a Wii fit!

We found ours at our local Circuit City store, it was the last one there. We had tried everywhere else no luck!

Thanks for the link but I found that one too and when u add to cart, it is part of a 'promotion' to buy a huge bundle.... NO TY don't need all that.

thanks again for searching

Today I will go to gamestop by my office and ask. I also have to hit Wally World and will ask if they too get theirs in on Tuesday and about what time and if they can reserve one.

Try Toys R Us.
Give them a call first, they usually do have them in stock.
Good luck :gvibes:

Had to go to wally world for a Money Order for work and just happened to ask if they could see if they got any in stock.. yep, had 2, so I went straight back there, bought one and into the trunk it went until I got home.

Now, dh is the one to hook it up and he isn't allowed to until after we go out for dinner.

Thanks for the tips everyone but I guess it didn't take all that long to get one.

We got one a month or so ago... I called places instead of driving around..found one at Wal-Mart , when I called they had 2 left so rushed over and grabbed one.

BTW I have been Wii boxing for the last few weeks and I dare anyone to cross my path--LOL
