Penile, lol thats exactly my mindset also. If i get there at 11:45/12 and there are already 20+ people then whatever ill wait till january lol.
I think I have the same view. If I show up at midnight and there is already 20ish people in line, I'm just going home. Not worth standing outside all night if I'm not getting a wii.
On a side note, upon doing a mild search, I found some guy already listing the contents of this weekend's ads. Best Buy is the only one that has wii's listed in the ad, according to this poster. Each store has a minimum of 15, and will be handing out tickets 1 hour prior to opening that must be redeemed within an hour of opening. If you want the original post, I can link it, but I hate to link to another forum.
Sorry it took so long...

-These are the quantities they will sell on Sunday morning.
Side note: All stores should be selling wiimotes and nunchuks and classic controllers on Sunday.
All stores seem to be getting in Nunchuks and classic controllers(quite a few) on these days:
Thurs. Dec 14(selling on Sun.)
Sat. Dec 16(probably sell on Sun. aswell)
Wed. Dec 20(don't know if they will be holding these)
Fri. Dec 22(don't know)
Thats all I have for now, if I missed your store for the Sunday distribution, you are out of luck as I cannot get new info until that day. Ill keep updating for later shipments if anyone is still having problems finding one.
I think I already said it in my pm but thanks alot Piraatbill
Thanks Pirate, thats some sweet info on my BB, again thanks a ton.
Thanks again Piraatbill! I really cant stay at BB overnight because I have work at 10 AM on Sunday but I think im gonna get there at 8 AM sharp and pray theres one left.
So has anyone seen any lines forming already? I am at work until noon and am just wanting to make sure that I'll be able to get one if I head out around 3:00. I think it should be alright.
On a sidenote... I went to Kmart this morning and was just looking around. I see a PS3 in the cabinet and the guy asks me if there's anything he can help me with. I was like, "I'm really just looking for a wii but don't expect much here." So he proceeds to tell me, "well that PS3 just came off the truck and my manager said he thinks we'll get at least one Wii." So I get all giddy and excited. He goes to check on the truck and comes back saying, "sorry dude, my manager said they're almost done and it looks like we didn't get any." Not like I was out anything but he just got me so excited. Sorry, I had to vent.
Canada news? Any? I'm desperate here =( Any info on EB or BB or Future Shop, or ANYTHING?!!?
Anyone know the minimum # of units per store (BB, CC, Target, Toys R US)?

I think its pretty low, a leak said all BB were getting at least 40. That is not true, my BB is getting less than 30, most EB and GS are getting 3-6. I would assume 12+ minimum. i guess that most places are getting aroudn 20!
Get there wicked early!

Good luck everyone! I am going to take a short nap and head on over to my local target or CC, and just hope that one of em has less then 15 people in line.
I hope we all score one hehe
I went to Target at 7Am and got my wii on DEC 3rd. So, u guys don't have to go that crazy early. And if you can't get one than buy one from me. For 400. E-mail me at sbhuiyan@mac.com
I got there 10PM the night before, by 2:00 all 54 tickets were handed out.
It depends
Minumums here
Best Buy: 15 Per store
CC: 20 Per store
Circuit City in Dartmouth, MA has 8 wii systems and 13 nunchuk for sale 12/17 am. 5 people in line already at 9:20 pm saturday
My Circuit City in Athens, GA has 6 Wiis that will be available Sunday AM and 2 people were already in line at 9:45. My Best Buy has 18 I think, and they already had more people in line than systems available at 945. Guess I'm waiting til January. Boo.
For any Wii seekers in central nj, the bestbuy in bridgewater nj had a line of around 10 people about to two hours ago. I also drove past the target in south Plainfield nj and there were around 3-4 tents set up at around 12am. My recommendation.....Get the heck out there. I'm so glad i actually scored one on release day.
Yes i was lucky enough to get one on the 3rd but best of luck to those of you still searching, well the ones who arent already gone anyway and chances are if you arent out by now you might be outta luck.
Just got back from Best Buy[/align] in S.C. I got there at 6:00am, the best I could do, and there was a list already. Had 18 Wii's but were called for. Most people had been there overnight and some where sleeping the car.
Maybe after Xmas I'll get lucky.....
