Kotaku reports today that the elusive Wii could be sighted en masse at Best Buys nationwide this Sunday.
“One of our favorite anonymous Best Buy tipsters lets us know that the big blue retailer will have a minimum of fifteen Wiis in stock at each brick and mortar location this Sunday, January 21st. He says we should, in reality, expect around 35-45 consoles at each store, but we suggest setting your expectations to the store minimum. The minimum store allocation will also be published alongside the weekly store ad, so this won’t be a secret.”
It’s days like these I look back to that cold November morning in 2006 and thank my lucky stars I was one of the idiots who waited in line for hours on end to get one of these things. Those who weren’t so lucky, go forth on Sunday!
well i suppose i know where ill be this sunday. however, it is going to suck if i arrive at a large line only to find out there are no wii's.
I hope this is true. I've been trying to get a Wii for so long. I have cash in hand, but no Wii.I just heard that Fry's Electronics had received a shipment of 50 Wiis and I sent my wife down there to grab one. The bastards were selling them in bundles, though. You have to buy 3 games to get the Wii. I already bought Zelda, and I'd rather rent the other games before buying them. I'm not about to throw down another $150 because Fry's is being a bunch of R-tard…
Ah, the magic of preordering.
Wow, count me among those glad I got mine launch week. At the time I thought I was silly for waiting a couple of hours to get one, thinking by the week after Christmas they'd be everywhere. Boy was I wrong.At this rate, it's going to be spring before you can actually reliably walk into a store to get one.
