Well now, it looks like almost all retailers will have the Wii in stock this weekend, as following up on Circuit City's "deal" is Toys R Us with an ad of their own. You see, Toys R Us is advertising (see image above) that they'll also have the console in stock, alongside Mario Kart Wii, which releases this Sunday. There is a catch with the Toys R Us deal, however.
You'll have to put some legwork in, as securing yourself a console means you have to go down to your local Toys R Us and plunk down a $200 deposit. Once done, show up on Sunday with your receipt and you'll be one happy camper. But, hey, as annoying as it is to make two trips, it's far less annoying than having to buy a ridiculously overpriced bundle from Circuit City.

Finger Huts still exist? I thought they died out with 8 tracks and VHS. That's awesome. Finger Huts is the Amscot of retail.

It's cause Nintendo was stock piling the Wiis for the past few weeks. It's how I got mine back when that SSBM or whatever game came out. If you miss it this go around then when Wii Fit is released there will be a ton of Wiis available.
