My wife won some award at work where she gets $250 in gift cards to split up how she wants by going to a web site and picking between a bunch of stores. She has said she wants a Wii, but the only electonrics place to pick from that would even carry Wii is Amazon.com. I was wondering if anybody heard or has seen how the availability of the Wii is now that the holidays have past. I hope they come in stock soon or my wife will get impatient and want to use the gift card on clothes!!!!

It won't be awhile until stores have them where you can just walk in at any moment at get one. You just have to be at the right place at the right time.

I just happaned to be in Target and saw one. I snatched it right up.

Any chance you can buy this at Amazon.com with your gift card?

Rumor is the Wii won't be readily available until March.

If you get a Wii you'll want games to go with it, and games are not in short supply. You could put that money towards games, maybe a VC point card (usually unrecommended since buying online from Nintendo doesn't impose sales tax), and controllers.

On a somewhat unrelated note I walked into a Circuit City last night and they had PS3s available. Many have already reported this situation but last night was the first time I experienced it first hand. Sony's not yet producing these things in massive numbers so maybe these experiences combined show that there really is a limited demand for them.

Also unrelated and OT, I was in Target and EB Games yesterday and both had multiple PS3's and no Wii's. Target seemed to have about five or six but I didn't see how many EB had.

I have experienced the same thing. every store that i have gone to find the Wii I asked "hey, got any Wii's?" and they respond "nope, not yet but we have ps3's in stock..." grrrr :(

Same here. Meijer last night had (6) 60 gig PS3's, of course no Wii's. I'm striking out everywhere I go.

BestBuy.com has PS3's online right now, no bundle required.

Good grief. I you had told me two months ago that in January I wouldn't even have seen a Wii for sale and passed on multiple chances to buy a PS3 I wouldn't have believed you.

I was in my local Gamestop this afternoon during lunch and just got in two Wiis. They were both gone within 15 minutes.

That is a great idea. I would think it would work since it looks like they are selling those target gift cards just like any other product on their website. Then I can just go into Target and hope I catch one at some point.

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before...but information on this site has been very accurate:
www.ps3seeker.com/wii/
Looks like it's hit or miss at this point. I'm waiting for Costco to start getting them in again...

For what its worth, I was told by a fairly reliable source that Gamestop is expecting shipments of wii's to begin with regularity towards the end of next week.
