If it's in the weekly ad, Target has it. My Target got Wiis last week, as I'm sure all Targets did, and they hold them until they appear in the weekly ad.

Of course, by now all the Wiis have sold out.

I finally saw a Wii yesterday [or maybe it was Friday] at Wal-Mart.
I wanted to buy it so bad but I am not in a good financial state right now and have no job.
I'm pretty sure its gone now. :(

My target ad had them in there...
and I was just at my local best buy (Tuttle crossing, Columbus, OH) and they had quite a few on the shelves.
That was about noon today (5/27).

Yea...we wouldn't sell them Tuesday...when they're in the ad they go on sale first thing Sunday...

My store (Denton, TX) got it's biggest shipment since release. We received 21 for sale on Sunday, and only had 18 on release day.

This ad is definitely for today. We have been holding them all week for today. The ad is not even confusing and makes no mention of being held until tuesday.

david, your store has 20 and that's the biggest shipment since release? wow. The one I work at had 200+ at launch and gets around 60 each time the ad comes out.

I went by the Target in Birmingham, AL. off of HWY 280 and they had about ten they had just put out this morning.

Yeah, Best Buy had them today, too. Same deal. Hold for the 27th. Some stores had over 100 in for today's ad. I'm a Media Specialist there, and I sold quite a few today. It's amazing that even now, so long after the console's initial release, that people are willing to wait in line to get in the store to get a Wii. Well, not so amazing, really. The system has enormous potential. Now if it can only capitalize on it...

FYI...
I was in the Target in Highland Park, IL (Chicago suburb) today, and they had a ton of Wiis in stock.

Yea, but how much in sales does your store do? we average around 250,000, so we're aren't that big of a store.

To those of you still on the hunt, the good news is our Wii shipment lasted until 7:30pm, and they have been gone before noon. So our next shipment should last for at least the whole day if not multiple days.

Checked out one of my local Target's yesterday and saw 3-5 sitting on shelves untouched. So looks like the shortage is finally wearing out. Took them long enough.

:)

Apparently my parents said that they went to Sam's Club in ST. Joseph, MO and there were like 15 wii's just sitting on the shelves...so I'd advise you to kidnap a member and check out your local Sam's club :)

I finally picked one up for my parents (they love cow racing- my mom laughed so hard she cried) at a Target yesterday in Grand Rapids, Michigan. They had four just sitting there. It was a surreal experience...

I think they're slowly coming around now. I recently saw some merchants
([url]http://www.smartratings.com/review/electronics/video_gaming_consoles/86[/url]) selling Wii's online although their stocks are still very limited though. Everywhere I go I hear people complaining there are not just enough Wii's available in stores in their areas. Hope this helps.

After over a year of waiting, I finally have a Wii!
Our local Target had a ton Sunday morning. Around noon, I went to best buy to pick up paper mario and accessories, and they also had a stack of 20 Wiis at the register, the cashier said they had 46. I hadn't tried in a few weeks but it seems everyone got double shipments this week and hopefully the lines are a thing of the past as long as you get in early enough on sundays.
