  • Where to buy a Nintendo Wii, other than Ebay?

    Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under western montana | 11 Comments »

    I am trying to buy a Wii, but every store in western Montana is sold out. Does anyone know when the big box stores (i.e. Walmart, Target, Best Buy) will get their next shipments in? Or when they will be available on the websites for these stores?

    We want to get one as soon as possible, but we are not willing to pay an extra $100 on Ebay just to get it sooner.

    Thanks!

    I bought mine from Wal-Mart as a bundle (it came with 7 or 8 games, an extra nunchuck and extra controller, and I got to choose a classic controller as an extra). This is the bundle they have now: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5303671

    That means you have to pay more up front, BUT everything you buy you can return to the store for a refund (just don’t open it). So you can buy 7 games you don’t want and take them all back.

    You could also follow http://wiitracker.com to see when online shipments are available from a variety of sources.

      Wow, the stores in NY have them in stock. We purchased ours in Feb. of 07. I don’t know if the delivery times are a bit different where you are but ALL of the Game Stop stores in lower NY and upper NJ recieve a shipment every week day at around 2pm. If you go in around 2:20 or 2:30 they should have one as each store gets about 2 a day. Hope this helps… good luck!

      Best Buy, Walmart and Target get their Wii shipments on Sunday. Try calling them to make sure.

      toys r us probly has them, and target and walmart, best buy, circuit city…no one can tell you when theyll get their shipments in and be 100% accurate. the best way is to go to the store and ask. gamestop may even have some

      Hi ,

      Try to find websites that use your computer ISP to locate you and present stores and companies in your city or your area.

      Here is one
      http://westislandlife.com/look

      Take notes of the prices you find there.

      Then you may try ebay, craigslist and mail order websites to compare prices and shipping costs

      Buying locally should be safer, faster and cheaper
