Id snag that first one. Its insane how expensive the rest of them are, but thats about how much they are going for online everywhere it seems.

That's where I got mine. Not a lot people think about HMV when it comes to video game eletronics, I didn't . When I got mine, they had quite a few but this was probably 6 months ago. I would give them a call to see if they have any in stock.

Hey thanks. I went over there tonight and got one. Even though it turned out later the guy wasn't supposed to sell one to me. But thanks to your heads up you just made my kids Christmas.

Bestbuy in Deerfoot Meadows is expecting 30-40 on Sunday. They also expect to sell them out within minutes to people camping out in line for them.

Yep best to be there about an hour and a half before they open. They hand out tickets and then you can head off for a coffee and come back when they open.

There is the increased demand in the Christmas season and when you factor in that they sold 1 million DS and Wii units in November they have to be just cranking them out as fast as they can. Could they have possibly had their projections high enough to think they would be the console winner? They would need methinks a slowdown in sales to catch up and that surely won't be happening at Christmas time.

Plus you have a great game like Galaxy pushing sales and then soon after Christmas Super Smash Brothers will be out and that should keep sales strong till spring. Maybe summer of 08 they will be on shelves.

I got a copy of Guitar Hero for the Wii but had to pay 60.00 over retail for it. Seems like whenever a shipment gets in somewhere, all 20-30 copies get snapped up by the same dude who sells um online for 100% profit...

Went to Superstore Westwinds NE and no luck there. We were looking for Guitar Hero and wasn't able to find one. They also didn't have Wiis. Best Buy Sunridge had 10 last Thursday but was sold out really fast. At EB games, they usually have it by Thursday noon. My neighbor got one at Market Mall.
