This will go well with the extra remote, nunchuck, and classic controllers, as well as the three games I already have.

Congratulations!

Be sure to add your Wii code to the list.

My brother finally snagged his last Sunday. He had to show up early at a Target.

[moycon]

Heh Took you long enough!!

[Lord Helmet]

Now the wait gets even worse as you wait for the thing to show up on your doorstep

Yeah, I really hope they actually have (or had) it "In Stock" and that it ships from their warehoue in "2 Days" as claimed on the site! And hopefully they have a warehouse in Ohio.

Congratulations, I'm sure you will find it worth the wait.

It's the reverse down here, we've had our Wii since December but games are still few and far between and there have not been any nunchuck or classic controllers available since launch day and won't be until March.

No 2-player boxing or half the Super Monkey Ball mini-games until then......

I was at Sam's Club today and they had them available but only in bundles. One of the bundles was just under $300, oddly it didn't say what it included though.

I didn't really look into it much, I've been playing mine since November 19th

Al - I hope it arrives safe and sound soon, it's a fun system!!

[Breakpack]

LOL,sounds like me.I had 5 XBox 360 games before I even got the system.At least you finally snagged one of those Wii critters.Are they made of hotcakes or somethin'?
Congrats!!

[jbanes]

Congrats! It's amazing how slippery these things are, isn't it?

Now you can play Touch Wii! Aren't you excited?

No? How about Pacman then?

[bones]

Damn, gone from the site.

Says in stock, but when I went to checkout it shows this message. Drats!

The page then proceeded to show "other items that may interest you" including a $500 snow blower. That'll be great for all the snow we get here in Miami

Great news. I take it you got Rayman.

The VC is looking awesome as well, with Kid Icarus and Kirby's Adventure coming this past week.

[Shannon]

That reminds me. I need to register my wii with nintendo.

Ohio... Doesn't BinaryGoddess live up there?

Yes, that's what happened to me the last time Sears.com had them in stock. I've been using the Wii Tracker RSS feed to alert me when online stores get Wii's in stock. I've been ignoring most of the alerts since most of them are greedy bundles. Sears.com is one of the few online stores offering the Wii by itself.

Yep, I have Rayman, Zelda and Super Monkey Balls.

Thanks for the tip, haven't tried a program like that yet. Just downloaded it and entered the feed, looks pretty handy. From what I can tell of the Wii Tracker logs available Sears stock goes in about 12 minutes...so will have to be fast. Thanks again!

Well I finally saw a Wii in a store. It was at WalMart and at the time I saw it, it was being taken out of the case for someone to purchase. Finally now... I can say I saw one on a store shelf... only about 3 months after launch. LOL!

Then to make things even more enticing, I was travelling by ToysRUs and they had a couple available. Seems things may be slowing down a bit and I might be able to get one without effort in a few weeks. Darn bills.

I still have yet to see a single Wii on store shelves, either in Austin or up here in Cleveland. The only store I've even remotes and nunchucks in has been Wal-Mart, although the classic controller is slightly easier to find. People are still waiting in line outside stores to get Wiis, which is pretty remarkable so long after launch.

My Wii shipped today! Woo hoo! It would be great if it arrived tomorrow, but I have no idea where it shipped from so that's probably hoping for too much.

Of course, I've had it now over 24 hours and it's still sitting in the box!! That's probably blasphemous to some degree..

Man, I forgot to order a component cable! Just ordered one from Nintendo.com, along with a white disc case for Wii Sports (and I'll print a nice insert for it)

Holy bongos this news channel is awesome. I could sit here and browse news stories all night! The globe view with all the stories laid out on cities is genius!

You got that right...I have checked about 5 stores every weekend since launch and nothing yet. The closest I have come is watching someone walk out with one in there hands at Gamestop....they got the last one
