Does anybody know... - PSP-Forum.com

Ok, I really do want a Wii, but it is impossible to find a store that sells them. Does anybody know of a trustworthy reliable website, where I would be able to order a Wii at its normal price, and not the elevated prices that are on e-bay?

Thanks

What country are you in?

If your in the UK try places like Argos and Comet etc as most people tend to pass them by in the search for the Wii.
I had mine pre-ordered from Argos

I live in the us

only thing since the system has already been released they will not let anybody put holds on it.

Well my advice would be to check places that are not game stores. Ie WalMart etc. Phone up stores like that and ask them if they have one every so often.

Yeah, I got my PS3 from Walmart. Actually I got 2 PS3s from Wal-Mart, but one's my grandpa's. Also, most stores won't tell you, something about security, you'll actually have to go in there in person and find out.

Do what I did with my PS3 my friend...go to a Best Buy, ask when they'll have some in stock then camp...the only way you'll get it man...unless you wait a good 3 months... :roll:

bamhm182 · 01-25-2007, 04:28 AM

Yeah, either mine or Ryder's will work, luck or determination. :P

Very well said my friend...

you need lady luck on your side, I was lucky to find out my friend works in a gamestore and was able to keep one to one side when they came in, she said they only had 8 units in stock and were gone within an hour of opening.
I'm sure soon enough the demand will drop and next month you will probably be able to get one.
