Angry This just makes me plain mad

I've been on the hunt for a nintendo wii for the last week or so and it just makes me mad that I want it for myself but people manage to buy multiple ones just to buy them on ebay and jack the price up...I'm sorry but I just find that ridiculous Anyone luck into buying one?

If you have a Gamestop in your area, you can check with them and they can tell you when they come in, then just hit the store that morning and get one..

Re: This just makes me plain mad

where are you at? they are not too hard to get here in california. i got one for my nephew around october. I got it at Fry's and they seemed to have plenty. i don't know if things have changed. if you want, i can check to see if they have some and i can buy and ship it for you. granted, you have to pay for it all. let me know.

Yup, I heard that worked for a few people -- see if you can pre-buy one there.... Also, go to your local best buy on a Sunday an hour or so before it opens and you could luck out.

I've not seen one in a store since April/may of last year...

As for people getting multiples... most places give out tickets good for only one purchase, they just keep waiting in line I guess

Re: This just makes me plain mad

In my case tween star Hannah Montana is coming to town and tickets soldout before I had a chance to purchase any good seats. Now I have to pay a premium to the people who did get a chance to purchase these tickets. Tyler I know your anger.
 

Keep'em flying.

I called 4 gamestops in my area and not one of them would let me pre-buy one. I ended up just buying a bundle pack off of thier website. Hope you luck into tickets at a reasonable price for Kirk I've seen how ridiculous those prices have got. Thanks for the offer propellerhead!

Re: This just makes me plain mad

Even though Gamestop gets shipments often, they don't get very many Wiis. I think you might have better luck at Walmart, Target, Circuit City or Best Buy. I got REALLY lucky and found one at the BX the week before Christmas, but that may not be an option for you...
