Gaming Moments’ Tip on How to Find a Wii
Gaming Moments has a nice tip for those of you looking for a Wii (I might try it myself, actually…once I figure out who delivers to the stores in France…)
Here’s the tip: find out when each store in your area receives its UPS shipments (time of day) and then show up at the store about 30 minutes early, start talking to someone who knows about the store’s shipment schedule and ask them how you can find out whether a shipment of Wiis had come in. They’ll probably tell you to go to a designated area and just wait. Regardless, you will have positioned yourself to get first dibs.
There you go!
No excuses now.

In search of wii
My search started in mid-october when my 10 year old son asked for a wii for Christmas. I knew from the start that I had to find him one because of the connection with my name. You see, my name is William Isaac Ishman with my initials being WII and my sons name being William Isaac Ishman the 2nd, WII 2. As a matter of fact my wife refers to us as wii 1 and wii 2. Every weekend in October and November my time was spent searching all stores in the city I live in, including walmart,toys r us, best buy,circuit city,comp USA and many others with no results. I spent hours standing in lines and even witnessed a fight in best buy, when two elderly men reached for the last wii. When December arrived I was about to tell my son that their would probably be no wii for Christmas this year, but first I wanted to give the online stores a try. I check all of the big box stores, always with the same results”out of stock”. I ended up checking a couple of the wii tracker sites, and their it was at amazon.com “in stock”. Amazon was selling the wii for $250.00 that morning. I immediately went to their site and purchased one.It was worth every penny just to see the look on my sons (wii 2) face Christmas morning. The wii trackers had really done the job for me.
