Find a website that tracks supplies and check it regularly. That's how I found my wii.

How much of the shortage is a result of Wii scalpers who seem to have plenty of supply to sell at inflated prices on sites such as Ebay? They aren't having any trouble finding dozens of Wiis.

It was worth it to me to wait 8 hours in line when it launched to get mine!

glad I got mine at launch, my wife was going to talk me out of going to the midnight launch, and get it the next day, I'm glad I didn't listen to her!

Yeah I want one bad and have been calling all over town trying to get one with no luck. I called over 20 stores. I guess I have to try everyday in the morning to get my hands on one. Every store I called said they got about 20 of them in per week but they sell out the very same day they get them. The Wii is definitely a market craze. Nintendo has made a good name for itself yet again in the world of gaming.
