3 easy to do things to find a Wii...

Everyone who comes to my house and plays my Wii seems to want to buy one.  I've had one from day one of the US release.  My wife actually waited in line 9 hours (yes, she is great).  Well, because I have one everyone seems to think that I know where to get them.  I've been asked at least ten times the last month were to buy a Wii.  Since I am a jerk at heart I usually make a sarcastic comment and let it go.  If I knew magically how to purchase one don't you think that I'd go buy a couple to sell on ebay.  That being said I decieded I'd come up with a few tips to help my friends find a Wii.  Here they are...

  1. Use a gadget like this one to keep up with who has online stock of Wii's available.
  2. Go to or call retail stores such as Wal-martbefore 3 in the afternoon on a week day (the dept managerswill still be working)  Ask the dept. manager when they will be getting more in stock.  If you know when they will be arriving you can usually show up an hour early and get one easily.
  3. Ebay auctions are an easy place to find them if you want one bad enough to pay a little more.
So, due to popular demand I've told you how I would find a Wii if I were looking for one, maybe this can help you too.
