As for the demand- part of the reason I own one is because of the demand. I had been hunting them down for friends and family for weeks before Christmas, and then when I saw one on Boxing week I snatched it up faster than a fat kid seeing the last box of Smarties.
Plan was to see which of my friends still needed one; and then if nobody needed it sell it here or something. But now at age 37 I have the first video game console I've ever owned.

Its a lot of Open Ended exploration of a fictional Sea. It is a calming change of pace for a game as you do things (certain objectives) when you want and there is no "dying". If you enjoy Marine Life, you ought to enjoy this game. Like I said it has my wife addicted.
BTW I just got No More Heroes, and I must say it is a solid pickup. Don't get it for the kiddies though.

I saw a WII yesterday at the Superstore in West-Winds. (Right by the McKnight-Westwinds LRT station) Its probably gone by now but I thought I'd share to give some hope.

I was at the Toys-R-Us on Macleod trail the other day and they had several in. You might want to call them up and check, if they don't have em ask when they get the shipment in and get there early that day.

Sweet, also of note was Shawnessy Future Shop got some in late last night but everyone there was grabbing GTA4 and getting out of there. So they may have some today.

I guess this isn't really breaking news anymore.
Anyway, I counted ten behind the counter at the HMV downtown about an hour ago.

Nintendo is just like your typical home builder....fails to keep up with demand when it's red hot than over saturates the market when the demand is no longer there!
That said my wife saw one at a Zellers on the weekend and picked one up. This time she got away with spending a few hundred bucks and not having to deal with me grilling her about it and forcing her to take half the stuff back.

I bought one on Ebay a couple of weeks ago, 350 including Super Mario Galaxy and Wii Sports. But I didn't have to go running around for it, and I got it locally so I didn't pay shipping and no GST. Pretty good I thought

It's funny, a couple of weeks ago, I did go to a bunch of stores in the south and nobody had any and neither Bestbiuy.ca nor Futureshop.ca showed any stores in Calgary as having them, so I thought they must still be a bit rare. I figure I only paid about $10 more than I would have in a store since I got Super Mario Galaxy with it. If I had paid a little more, I might have been pi$$ed.

I am planning a surprise birthday gift for a friend. (A Wii of course!)
If anyone sees any this weekend, can you post in this thread or let me know by PM?
Thanks!

The new Beacon Hill Future Shop had 100 each day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I stood in line today for about 15 minutes and managed to get a ticket for one. 45 minutes later I paid for it and am very happy I never have to look for another Wii.
Very hard to believe these things came out a year and half ago...
