My sisters boyfriend is trying to find a Wii for my sister for Xmas and it is sold out everywhere.
If anyone knows where you can buy one online for MSRP (not 100-200 dollars over like many sites) let me know!
Thanks!

I've heard that GameStop has them for the regular $249 price. I know some people that, gasp, went to the store, in person even, and bought some... Scary, I know, but some times us online shoppers need to get out every now and then. (I'm the same way with buying online from the comfort of my home...)

Nick, I think David may have been asking about buying online as the B&M stores are selling out and he is hoping to find one online opposed to waiting in a line up at 4AM, but I think at this time of year, unless you are very lucky and drop into a store as the shipment arrives, waiting in line on a Thursday or Friday night might be the only way. I stil see ads for Wii shipments coming in to ToysRus or Futureshop on a regular bassis and going on sale Friday or Saturday. I lucked out with the original release, I happened to be in Walmart and went past the till in the electronics department, they had 2 cases of Wii's sitting by the till, I bought one on the spot.

Yeah, the B&M stores he visited were all sold out... I'll just keep my eyes peeled when I'm out and about this holiday season.

Seems to me eCost is a little inflated, but if it is the only place to get it and you really need one...........

Man, there's just no excuse for Nintendo not having enough Wiis for ANOTHER holiday season. I think they're in love with the shortages.

Don't give up on the out of the way places, the first year they came out I found one for my daughter at Walmart just sitting on the (locked) shelf when all of the other stores like BestBuy/CircuitCity were selling out within an hour of delivery with lines already in place waiting to sell product on ebay.

I've seen them at Walmart and Toys R Us often over he last few months, even later in the evenings, seems like they have had more inventory.

Man, there's just no excuse for Nintendo not having enough Wiis for ANOTHER holiday season. I think they're in love with the shortages. Sure there is, they still can't keep them on the shelves for much longer than a couple of days during the year and now they barely make it onto the shelves if at all. You can only produce so many at a time and lets face it if you put too much supply out there, the demand could drop off quickly.
