More Creative Ways to Find a Wii Console before Christmas
About two weeks ago I wrote about an unexpected way to finding a wii console at a Sears store down the street.
Since, I’ve noticed the press on how the wii consoles are scarce, sellers are getting highly creative at ripping consumers off and parents are having fights over those last-in-stock consoles in stores.
Start with the Nintendo list of retailers.
After that, call brick and mortar stores. If you have called stores in your area and came up empty-handed, you may want to try the Yahoo Buyer’s Guide, which today showed the Wii in-stock at Walmart.
In the UK try the Wii Stock Updates or the Wii Stock Checker.
If you still find yourself without a Wii try some of the multiple sweepstakes or give-away events that seem to pop-up all over the place these days.
Amazon.com
Comedy Central teamed up with Nintendo and Scion to give away 48 hourly prize packages which will include a Wii console and a Garmin(R) nuvi(R) 200:
From Thursday, November 22 through Sunday, November 25, COMEDY CENTRAL will air 48 hours of mixed programming to celebrate the network’s “‘Ving Break.” Viewers need to stay tuned because a different code will appear every hour, giving fans a chance to register and win 48 hourly prize packages and a shot at the grand prize. By logging on to www.thanxgiveaway.com and visiting the COMEDY CENTRAL Thanxgiveaway sitelet, viewers will enter the codes thus becoming eligible for all prizes. Sweeps entry ends December 2.
So, happy shopping!

Will you guys still be buying the wii, or you reckon you will settle on the dsi console? I think it is the better buy to be honest
Wii console and Wii Fit are both generally available in the UK now - I’d recommend that people try the high street stores and online providers before buying as there are now some bargains around. The days of online ebay sellers charging ludicrous prices have gone - shop around and find yourself a bargain.
Wii has been doing well, but I do remember the very first ones were so expensive.
Prices are better now but what about compitition from PS3??
