I know this is a story as old as time, but i cant get a bloody Wii.
I know there were shortages, but it came out almost a year ago, and i cant get one now!
and its for my birthday too.
I know other people have had this problem, but its really annoying!
I even resorted to checking Ebay, but i didn't see anything that caught my eye...

your not alone... :D

I have been searching too and the weird thing is is everywhere I've looked sells the games and accessories for it but not the system. :huh: I know Walmart might have it but wouldn't trust them. FYI: I got a GBA GameShark for christmas and it was broken before I removed the seal from the box! >:( I took it back and went through 16 other GBA GameSharks and they were all broken! :-[ In the end, they gave me store credit to get a GBA game to replace it with.

Poor unlucky people. I have connections with people (who are crazy enough to stand outside in the middle of the night), and got mine for the steal deal of $300.

At the YMCA I go to they give you a chance to win a Wii if you recommend a friend to join there...

But you know... Thats prolly just here in Florida. You should've got a Wii earlier!! Its a great investment; Or at least will be when we get some good Rpgs on it.

Wow, it must be bad there in UK. Even Amazon is out of Wiis. :O
Meh, I can't really help you. You are the one who knows better your zone.

In my case, I just went to a not-so-famous store, 10 km from here, and their site said they had Wiis. I just went there on the day one at 10am. I just knew no one would go to -that- store to get a Wii. So, I just went there, raced to it and got the only one they had (1 of the 5000 Portugal got for day-one).
So, try to search on less known electronic/domestical shops.
Or, in case you are desperate to play Twilight Princess on Wii (the only thing worth its money), import one from France or Spain or something like that.
Good luck.

Damn Nintendo and their marketing to old people. Now all the old people can buy their Wii and their brain training games, and all the real gamers get left out.

Take it from me, if I could have, I would have. I just didnt have the money. I cant wait for ToS2, but I've played on my cousins, and I love some of the multiplayer games, which are what i really want... Although MySims looks pretty cool to me... (Does anyone know if you can have more then one save/character? i know that may sound stupid, but It doesnt say anywhere...)

And which games would you buy? Twilight Princess and the almost releasing Metroid are the only things worth the money. I still don't know how the hell the Wii managed to sell 11 millions with just a decent game... :S

Wow I didn't think there still would be shortages. I think they are well stocked over here already. But I've never asked them since I got one  XD

Cheers for the sympathy bro.
Its really annoying because a few weeks ago there were signs all over town saying "In Stock" and as soon as i get the means to get one, they're no-where to be seen.

Good marketing and hype, combined with fun games.

Wii Sports, WarioWare, Wii Play and Mario Party are pretty good party games, even if that's not your taste. Titles like Lair or Heavenly Sword might be GamerGames, that doesn't make them any better than good PartyGames. A good game is a good game.

I guess it'd be more fun to us if the Wii's success was because of "hardcore games", but meh, who cares. I'm happy I have a Wii. If I feel I'm not getting enough games I like, I'd buy another console.

Also, yes, this is an attept to create a system wars topic. It's about time we had another one of those.



And on-topic: Most stores here in Belgium have a few Wii units lying around. Import a PAL one!


Don't...shitty localization. :(

I thought UK was PAL?

And i think the Wii got popular because even a 103 year old pension can play it. Infact, one did. Personally i like the 360 as well, but not as much. The ps3 is such a waste of money. MGS4 look like the only good game on it.
