Well, I originally thought that with chanukah only a month roughly after the Wii launch date, I would be able to get one easily like i did the ds lite, although i know the WII is 100X more big then the ds lite.

So I need to gather some advice from what you guys in the US are doing.  Let's hope us canadians can get the wii on launch without pre orders.

HELP!!!

Im hoping to get the Wii on Christmas. So my mom is going around asking bout pre-orders. They are either sold out or not taking any. But hopefully there should be enough Wii's that you can buy one without pre-ordering. Because it sure looks like thats what I'm doing.

I'm not really sure...I think that you might be able to get one, but I have no clue. There are supposed to be 4 million in the world before 2007. You might want to try to preorder one just in case.

You might be able to get one if you go to a store that does not offer pre-orders really early (2-3 hours before it opens) on November 19, but I don't know if you'll be able to go to a store like a week before Chanukah and get one.

You can run across the border to New York and get one.

Threaten to shove a menorah up someone's butt if they don't sell you a Wii. That's not just one candle stick, that like 9, all going one place at the same time. That'll get things DONE.

i didn't pre-order the Wii either. i'm hoping since i live in a small town, that it won't be sold out. I'm hoping anyway.

LMAO, nice suggestions guys, but only a few of them were good ones... I have an idea. supposedly there are a couple EB's in my city that are in the middle of nowhere and one supposedly i heard still had PW for ds when i was buying the second restock of trauma centre. So perhaps I will try that one. thanks!

EB won't have any. You know what's in Van though? FS/BB Canada's national warehouse. Get a little covert operation going. Or maybe go full-out. Raid? Sure. I'll bring the hot chocolate, you bring the mace, we can make a day of it.

But if that doesn't work out:
Futureshop.
Best Buy.
Wal-mart.
Toys R Us.
Sears.
Canadian Tire.
Radioshack. Oops, Circuit City. Oh, sorry, THE SOURCE by Circuit City.
Costco.
HMV.
Staples (my staples has a stack of premium 360s, which, who knew?)
Holt Renfrew.
Fields.
Zellers.
The Bay.

With Sears ftp (for the purchase).

LMAO Holts? not here Leslee. HMV? nope. But yeah, I will try FS and BB, then Toys r us, then canadian tire, etc.!

good ideas!

Haha well I've been to a Holts once - in the before time, in the long long ago - and it was a LOT MORE GHETTO back then.

I thought Sears would have the Wii, whereas HR would have the limited edition, Swarovski crystal-encrusted Wii with platinum nunchuk AND complimentary Louis Vuitton clutch with purchase of Twilight Princess. Hmph.

Seriously, flip it, FS and BB and TRU will all get campers, do Sears and CT first.

Well, I couldn't get a preorder. I found out that Best Buy and probably Future Shop are not talking any preorders, so I think that's your best bet.
