Post subject:  Getting a Wii: E-bay or online?
So I'm trying to procure a Wii so I can start uploading stuff onto the site as soon as Blur comes out, but I'm running into a conundrum which is that supply is really limited, which I didn't expect a month after X-mas.

So if I go with E-bay, I have to admit that I'm an E-bay novice. Does anyone know any reputable Wii-sellers on E-bay I can go through? What advice does someone have for getting a Wii online?

I can do the online order, but trolling the various sites becomes bothersome, so I found this page if anyone wants to have a one-stop-shop for checking online orders:

Got any tips?

EDIT: Well, I caved and bought the "Gamers Pack" from Gamestop, which came with two games I didn't want, but it came with everything I needed, memory card, extra Wiimote and Controller, etc. So I don't have to do any shopping when I get it. It doesn't ship until the 28th though. :cry

Anyway, continue to use this thread to track down Wiis if you need them. :china

Damn. What was the price? I'm curious if the major retailers are jacking up the prices just because they can, or if they're holding to the MSRP.

I didn't check on the price but they weren't special bundles. Just the regular core system with one controller.

Thanks dog, I appreciate that. :D I think I'll cancel my order and just see if I can find one from the major stores, since they're not as hard to find as I thought. That way I'm not paying an arm and a leg for games I won't play.

<sigh> ...bump.

Well, I hit every store I could get to in a reasonable time today and not a single one had a Wii. :sad My CC company cancelled my Gamestop order cuz they thought it was fraud. :heh

I'm not sure I"m gonna get one before the game comes out at this point. I guess I can keep on trying. :D

Anyone got any hook-ups they can...hook me up with? :D

I know a guy at my local Wal-Mart (it's 5 min. from my house); I know they have a few here. I'm sure I can get them to hold one for you. Will you come to Radcliff to get it? ;P

Hahaha, no, the kind of thing I'm talking about is buying one and then selling it to me for the price of the Wii and shipping, and I'll gladly reimburse whoever. I just don't know if I'm gonna have the opportunity to find one before the game comes out. :D

Man, all I can say is good luck. I have been trying to no end to get a Wii, mainly for this game but also for a few others that are coming too. I refuse to pay $400 on Amazon for a $250 console, I don't care how long I have to wait to get one.

Try nowinstock.net's e-mail notification service. I haven't tried them for consoles, but they're fairly reliable regarding controllers. You just have to get to the site quickly.

Try the not-so-gaming-related stores and phone every week for shipment info: Fred Meyer, Wal-Mart, etc.
