My son bought the Wii with his own money because I refused to buy into another system, so when he took his off to college, we bought one for us!

now he can play at both places...

From what I have read and heard the reason for the shortage is that they are very high on making sure that everything is perfect. Compared to sony they are a very small company and can not afford to have alot of returns.The guy I talked to at best buy said at most they have 1 in 100 returned because of it not working.He said the playstations are returned about 1 out of 20......scott

Good news, Someone I work with has a college age daughter and she is going to loan me her Wii until I am able to find one. I suspect it will be easy right after Christmas. I will set it up Christmas morning and say Santa did it! I am going to get her a gift card as a way of thanks. What a nice holiday feeling!

I saw 4 Wii units here at our target no less than 4 hours ago, they have them all the time...I hear of people waiting in line for them or driving from city to city , going from store to store...It's nice to live in a small town.

Sure I could buy them and turn around and sell them for a good profit...then I would be like alot of people her on RC who do the same with aquarium supplies.

My girlfiends parents just bought her a Wii from a place called pandorascube. Its in Maryland and it has a website where you can order from. They had decent package prices.
