Are you one of the unfortunate wretches who have been searching week after week for a hot new Nintendo Wii, only to be shot down.
Like me, you've probably become a regular at your local Gamestop, Wall-mart, Target and Best Buy and have a sales rep at each one like Matt, Mike, Laura, and Heather as I do in my hometown.
Your search may be over soon, because rumor has it that a PR rep for Amazon.com announced a new shipment due tomorrow.
Indeed a short notice, so hopefully I caught enough of you before its too late. Nintendowiifanboy.com says that their info from a "PR rep from Amazon" revealed the shipment is due Wednesday, October 31, 10am PST.
There's no exact number on how many consoles they have, but they say it's a "significant" amount. Could be 100, could be 10.
Rumor or not, it'll be worth checking out if you've been hunting the White Whale known as the Wii.
Get a surfin' on Wednesday at 10am PST and I'll see you there, Captain Ahab.

Check out Toys "R" Us for Wiis. That's where i got mine and they said they had the most Wii's at launch out of any store in my city. Plus TRU and Nintendo are tight.
oh well, Wii is overrated and mine hasnt been used except for Metroid Prime 3 and Zelda, but then again, im a hardcore gamer and dont do that casual shiz. I wish Nintendo focused a bit more on that part of the demographic rather than shipping out WiiFit, Wiiplay, or WiiJackoff....
There all over the place here in the Mid south. I was taking it that the buying frenzy was over and that you can walk into Target and Best buy and see them on display and have a full facing of them. Well atleast that's how it was this weekend.
Yeah, like mishakoz was saying, the only reason I have really turned on my wii was to play either Prime or Zelda, or send messages to my friends. But those two games justified the purchase. And when SSBB comes out, hehehe
Just checked Amazon and the Wii is on sale there. The site says that there is a limit of three Wiis per household per month. So I guess they have enough to go around.

You're a jackoff. You're really blind as well, since you're not seeing all the upcoming hardcore (damn that term is getting fucking irritating) first party and third party games coming to the Wii in within a couple of months. The only "casual" game Nintendo have in the works right now is WiiFit, jackass.
