Default Wii sightings

Going to try and snag a Wii for Christmas. Went to the Bestbuy at Deerfoot Meadows last night and they said Friday morning was a possibility. Any other sightings of Wii's or inside scoops on days/places they may be available?

I read bestbuy would have a lot on Sunday, but i think it was refering to american bestbuy locations. There was a web tracker that would email you the minute it was available on futureshop, bestbuy, toys r us...ect. Was pretty useful, let me try to find the link.

They were all over Germany from what I saw a couple of weeks ago. Just can't get them in North America it seems.

Well, if you're not too fussy, EB Games is selling refurbs. I walked into their Southcentre store 2 weeks ago and they had plenty.

If you're traveling through a small town you might want to check out some stores. Wal-Mart and Source here in Drum always seem to have them in stock.

Drum a bit far for an excursion but I was thinking maybe Strathmore. That and I'm phoning all over trying to find a shipment.

Unfortunately I can't get there this morning but the N.E. Futureshop has a shipment of Wii's coming in this morning. If you can get there before 10 am. the manager told me the chances of getting one are very good. Dang why can't it be the Bestbuy just down the hill from me at work!!!!

Futureshop has them on these days for $269 and if you could possibly head over there in the next half hour you would have one for what is the best price going.

No. If I remember the Toysrus price is $279 and it varies from $289 down to $269. I would think you can get it for $269 from anywhere that either sells it for that or will match competitor prices.

Ok, I saw it at HMV downtown for $299, but I guess there's a reason it's still there! I did go to Costco NW this past weekend, but no luck
