Little Birdy told me to rock and roll....




How Many Wii's are in Your Local Gamestop?


Here how it goes down



0-3:Wow, WiiSoratage hit you HARD

4-6:Thats great, but they'll be gone in a matter of hours

7-9:Nice, Your local Gamestop knows how to keep stock

10: Do you LIVE right next to Nintendo?

>10:BULLSHIT!






We have have about 4 at a given time, which is 7 in the morning.....



.....so bring the noise....

I have to say from selling the damn things that they aren't staying very long. They only stay as long as they do because we don't advertise when we get them. However, we are asked pretty quickly if we have them, and they do not last long when someone sees a reall Wii box.

It feels good...


The closest Gamestop is hours away, but they always have at least one at Wal-Mart every time I look. xD

...to know you're mine.

Random check, but it it an actual system, or just a display box?

I can't tell you how many customers make that mistake by bringing an empty box to the register...

Haha, it's the system. They don't put out display boxes there.

I have never seen a Wii in the wild since I went to pick up my pre-ordered one from Toys R Us back in November...

I got my Wii right after my Target stocked. There were six at the time, but gone by the time my friend got there.

I was once number 10 in line when they only had 9...worst thing was, someone's check didn't clear, so I would have gotten it if I had waited....

For the record, I DID get a Wii a few days later. It was sheer luck when I went back to campus 3nodding

I actually don't check for wiis when I go to stores. But if I did, I'm sure I wouldn't find any.

hmmm. Whoever voted "no" could stock up on Wiis now and use Ebay once the holidays season comes around.

The holidays are going to be so crazy for Nintendo. There weren't games last year, so anyone waiting will be nuts over Brawl alone, not to mention Metroid Prime 3 availability and Super Mario Galaxy.

The Gamestop I go to is a few minutes away and they hardly have any but a BestBuy nearby (homg, rhyme!) always has Wiis in stock.

My gamestop is also minutes away. I had to call them and make sure when they get their stock in, so I went there as soon as it arrived to get mine. They only got in 5, and there was like 2 others there getting a Wii as well... I got lucky sweatdrop
