ToysRus had some Wii's for Sat AM. Plus nunchucks, controllers, etc.

It opens at 9:30AM, so I showed up at 9:25AM.

People had been in line since 5AM. Needless to say, by the time
I got inside, all Wii's and nunchucks were gone. A few controllers
left, along with a assorted accessories.

5 freakin' AM!!! I'm never going to find a nunchuck...

Seriously – I only got my Wii on Feb 22. I’ve had 4 Wiimotes and 4 Nunchuks for weeks after my extras arrived from Nintendo after ordering online. It’s easy as pie and simple as cake! Why put yourself through the aggravation of a 5 AM lineup when you could have them already?

Has anyone seen used games cropping up for sale at the video rental stores? I have a $50 gift card from Rogers that I'd like to use, but I'm thinking if I can get two used games for the card and change instead of 1 new game for the card and change...
I have not seen any at Rogers or Blockbuster, but the used ones they sell are usually the old ones that do not rent out anymore and are just taking up space, don't see that happening for the wii for a while, especially the good games.
I have seen some at Cash Converters though for $40. I bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance and I am loving that. I was going to get Madden but did'nt. That one looks awsome as well.

Ok, ordered from Nintendo, thanks to you and Kobatuzzied.
Hopefully it doesn't take too long...

Easter is this weekend (4 day work week this week - yay!), so it isn't that much of a delay.

I had already bought a nunchuck and a remote from Nintendo.com, so I thought I'd buy another two nunchucks and a remote to get four full sets this morning:

Nunchuck:

Wii Remote:

The site says there will be a delay, but if you're patient, you should have no trouble getting your hands on one.

The Nintendo site said I'd be delayed when I ordered my extra 2 remotes and 4 nunchuks as well. I ordered all of that the same day I ordered my limit of 1 remote from Future Shop online. Everything arrived at the same time, no more than 5-6 business days later.
