I just want a damn wii, I thought waiting a few months when it first came out would be enough, now we are reaching a year.

The fact that the Wii is still in demand astounds me. If this continues to next Christmas, I'm ready to call shenanigans.

Oh yeah, I've had that christmas where you open the box to find a Receipt from amazon.com with a note saying, "sorry we are out of stock at this time, but you will receive your gift as soon as possible"

@niakori:
You did the brotherly thing. There's more than enough good stuff out for DS right now to help her wait it out.

now is the time for me to unload my wii!
like new!
original packaging!
who wants it???

In before hexfix complaints about low Sony numbers

also, this seems about right to me

If you want a Wii you have to do some underhanded things to get one, good example to follow...note this is not me because I already own a Wii, I bought one earlier this year.

A friend of mine has a daughter that wants one. He saw Best Buy's recent add for Sunday advertising the Wii. So he decided to go to the store early and wait. He got there at 6am and waited in line with many others. They handed out tickets and of course he did not get there early enough to get one. So he was talking to someone in line and her husband was at a different store and if he got one she would give him her ticket. So he decided to hang around and see, despite the employees advising him to not wait. He went in the store and the Wiis were just sitting out in the open on a pallet away from where the people that had tickets went to claim them. So he, and myself, being a former employee knew that you could go to a different department like appliances that has an actual register and ring stuff out back there. We did this to avoid the lines up front during the holidays. So he grabs one, makes a discrete walk to appliances helped by some of his friends that still work there, purchases it without a ticket, gets a non see through bag and runs out of there with it. Underhanded I know, most likely led to a poor customer with a ticket that didn't get one and most likely threw a fit because of it, but he has one.

Shame on Nintendo for this. As others have said this is DELIBERATE, they had a whole year to ramp up production. I know demand for the Wii is astronomical but I still believe that this is their doing.

Its amazing how far the Hype is taking the Wii
