Anyone Still Looking For A Wii/ps3?

I thought this would get way easier after Christmas...but it seems just as hard! It seems the only way I can score a Wii is to wait outside a store every morning and hope they got a shipment...which I can't do, because I work at 8 everyday.

 

Anyone have any ideas about scoring a console?

 

Maybe there are others out there as frustrated as me?

if you know someone who has one, i heard the new scam (if you have the money to buy one) is to have that person tell nintendo it's defective. they have a supply kept for this purpose and they send one out expecting you to send your defective one back. if you don't, they charge you credit card. that's what i heard but it might be total b.s.

...I have a Wii...

sorry.

 

I've been looking for a Black DS lite and nowhere seems to have any. It's all always pink ones. Also, Final Fantasy III on the DS is sold out EVERYWHERE. I finally managed to get myself a Wiimote last week (so now I have two) but still, they're sold out of most Nintendo stuff everywhere. it's pretty crazy!

Tim...damn man. I'm jealous. I should have pre-ordered one a long time ago, but I didn't have a job back then...my loss i guess.

I didn't Pre-Order anything! I tried, but EB Games only had 10 Wii's for pre-order, and I was customer #11 in line that morning.

I went out on November the 19th and went from store to store to store until I found out that Costco had 40 consoles and 14 people in line so far. They're your best bet if you're looking for one (I would think)

Also, if you're looking for a PS3, be patient. A Toys 'R' Us near my house had 4 PS3's in stock the other day, no one knew they were even there. it seems like people are a bit less frantic since Christmas is passed.

Yep, Supercanuk got a PS3 post-christmas, last in the store. But we've been out looking for a 2nd controller without success.

There are Wiis in the Phillipines according to some guy I know there.

 

But apparently no one can afford them.

The systems would be set to PAL mode then?

 

And Hyphnip, Link and Midna!

Yes, I suspect that they are PAL. He told me how much they cost in pesos, and it was a ridiculously high number. But I don't know the exchange rate, so it's meaningless.

Well, he told me that the PS3 (20 GB) was going for the equivant of about $1000 CAD at a place called Toy Kingdom. Double that for the 60 GB. Wii for about $800 CAD.

I don't care about the WII or the PS3. I will get an XBOX 360 when Halo 3 comes out and that will be all for me with this "nextgen" console business.
