    Get it online.
    I am not allowed to have any of that stuff, but it sounds cool enough. The whole idea is revolutionary.

    I've been trying online as well, but everywhere I go, for Canadian sites, it's sold out... if I get it from the US, the shipping will be insane, and like 200+ over the original price... :( And the Wii looks awesome, can't wait to try it out with Zelda.

    just be patient and wait a while, the demand will eventually go down and the shops will have them in stock.. eventually. :p

    Ah ha! Did not realize another topic was made here about Nintendo Wii.

    I've tried long and hard to find stocks in stores (I live in Vancouver, B.C.) but have had no luck so far. I'm just trying to wait for stocks to appear online so I can snatch one.

    There is a Wii bundle that is available immediately right now from a UK site.

    http://www.game.co.uk/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=&mid=330334

    However, Wii prices are higher in the UK, so I'm going to wait until I see releases in Canada or the US... Just posting to let those who are interested know!

    Bleh, I only have enough money off of my pay-cheques to get the game at the MSRP price in Canada, I can't do eBay or anything online, unless it's right next door =/ I'm getting impatient about this system! I phone 19 stores everyday, I have 3 people in my family (1 who is a friend, who doesn't enjoy the system, so no fear in him buying it for himself :p) scouring the city looking for one, and a copy of Zelda: TP.. both are extinct in my city :(

    Lol I give it to you there...phoning 19 stores a day :X

    Your best bet is just to walk around stores when you're doing your routine shopping. Usually when you call and ask for stocks, they might be already sold out by the time you get there. My friend has already seen 2 Wii's in Walmart here in Vancouver when she was shopping.

    Has Nintendo given any hints as to next shipment at all? When was the last shipment...? I haven't ever, in my life, seen a Wii in stores, even before I wanted one..

    Shipments come in once every week, I believe. However, Nintendo never tells stores when they come in, so stores are unable to tell their customers. My friend works at Best Buy and he says only Sony tells them when PS3 stocks will arrive.

    Yep, I'm sure a lot of people would :p

    Just be a little bit more patient and eventually you'll see one in stock. Most people are no longer looking for a console, but rather extra controllers and nunchucks now.

    Yeah, they're sending out thousands every day. But imagine how many stores carry them across the whole North America. This is why every store only gets stocks of 3-5 :X
