It is such a hassle. I knew last year I stood in line for 1.5 hours (against my better judgement) and I got the WII. I really didn;t think the problems would continue. At this point I think I'm selling it and buying an Xbox atleast you can go to the store and buy the products. I’m so sorry I bought the WII you can’t get the games!! It is such a hassle.

Wii availability is simply not given in most areas. Unbelievable especially because Wii is available in many european countries. It seems the situation still has not changed now at the end of 2007.

They sold to the people waiting in line the second they got into the store. I figure it will be several months before I will be able to get one.

I did this, and recieved one right after the UPS man walked into the door of the store.

The first was on launch day when I spent about 10 minutes in line at Circuit City. They had 50 units and I counted back through the line and figured they would run out before I got to the checkout. The second attempt was a week before Christmas after I had over heard an associate at Target telling another customer that they we getting a shipment that they were going to make available at 8:00am on Sunday. I showed up at 6:00am and there was already a line 200 people long. I went home and returned just a few minutes before 8:00am and strangely, the line had gone down to about 20 people. Apparently, they handed out tickets to the first in line and told everyone else to go home. Talking to one of the associates later that morning, she said that most of the first in line were there the night before when she was going home! I'd gave up and promised my daughter a Wii after Christmas. The day after Christmas, we went to a major shopping plaza and visited 3 stores that sold the Wii but none had any for sale. Then, I went to Target and much to my surprise, they had at least half a dozen Wiis in there display case. Asked the associate if I could have one and several minutes later we was on my way home with my Wii and Zelda for $288.00 total! My friends were telling me that I should have bought extra systems to sell on Ebay but I'm not the kind of person to take advantage of others. I wish there was someway I could have told others that this particular Target had the Wii in stock. Anyway, the Wii console is wonderful! Wii Sports, Zelda and NFS Carbon are great and far exceed my expectations. Good luck to you all. It's worth the wait. I made two semi serious attempts to get hold of a Wii before Christmas.

What really got me angry is how that one day (Black Friday) all these people are getting in lines by the hundreds at nearby elec-tronic stores. Then after that day I find out that all of the WIIs are sold out. Next I go on Ebay and find these WIIs with outrageous-ly high prices and I was upset!(Darn Black Friday) I agree with what Fishy has to say about wasting all of the companies money on commercials when there isn’t a single WII that we know of that’s in reach.

Doesn't take an MBA to understand that sort of waste.... What blows me away is that Sony and Nintendo are wasting money on commercials/ads when they can’t meet demand.
