how do you guys get a Wii?

We tried this morning at Gamestop but they sold out after some people camped out from 10:30 last night. How in the world did any of you get one?

Went to target at 12:30am on the morning of the 19th (i.e. camped all night). I tried to preorder at Gamestop, but didn't arrive until about 9:15am (45 minutes before opening) and their preorders had long since sold out by then.

I somehow managed to get one from the Circuit City website last Sunday. They were available for like 10 minutes. It arrived at my door on Wednesday. I was lucky.

What amazes me is that stores still don't seem to have any in stock today. I thought today they would have the biggest inventory of the season. Like Womp mentioned in another thread ebgames and Gamestop had limited quantities and bigger stores like Toys R Us had none. I guess it could be weather related on the east coast because there was some nasty weather on Wednesday when shipments probably were supposed to come in. I think maybe next week will be a better time to score a Wii.

I left work for 30 minutes to get in line at EB the day they had preorders. I got there at 9:45am. They got 14 units in and I was #10. I waited an entire 15 minutes in line to place my preorder. I picked it up at midnight on the 19th and played until 3am. The new Zelda game is great! I cannot stop playing.

That sounds great! I personally don't like EB Games or Gamestop and rarely ever shop at either. So I never thought to preorder with them. I did try Toys R Us, but they sold out of preorders just as fast as EBGames based on your story. Oh well, if I pick one up before the holidays great. If not I can wait until next year sometime.
