Wii sighted Posted January 21, 2007 at 1:50 pm
So the buzz on the Internet concerning widespread availability of the Nintendo Wii on 1/21 proved to be true. I picked mine up from the Gwinnett Circuit City this morning along with an extra Wii-mote/nunchuk combo and Zelda. My location had 25 units in stock and vouchers were handed out for all of them before the store opened at 10AM. The local Target didn’t have any, despite persistent rumors that Targets across the country were holding stock to be released today. Same goes for Wal-Mart. I didn’t try Best Buy.
Checking the weekly adverts, which are readily available at each store’s Web site, seems to offer some insight. Circuit City and Best Buy both claimed stock with per-store minimums. Target and Wal-Mart did not. Funny how that works, eh?
The SlickDeals PS3 & Wii Availability Forum offered up plenty of helpful information during my search, but I didn’t find any of the plethora of “trackers” to be very useful.
