I posted this on the "Tis a Wii Long Night" thread but thought I'd make a separate one as my need is desperate. We need a mother effing Wii and we need it now!

PLEASE HELP US FIND/LOCATE A Wii! IF YOU CAN BUY US ONE TODAY OR LOCATE ONE NEAR YOUR HOME, I WILL GIVE YOU A TIP, $30 OR SOMETHING. I WILL DRIVE OUR ASSES STRAIGHT TO YOUR HOME OR MEET UP AREA, DRUG DEALER STYLE, AND MAKE PURCHASE THIS FROM YOU OR GIVE YOU THE TIP MONEY FOR SUCCESSFULLY FINDING US A PLACE TO BUY THIS AT.

If you do help us and buy it, please call me on my cell (360-631-1568) to verify that I still need to buy one before doing so. If you can direct us to a place that has one, can you find out how many they have or something? I would just scream if we drove to Puyallup, just to find out they're sold out already.

I can offer you the tip money, King crab, a male child (10, 8 or 3 years old), a house plant or a hug. I know, not much in the way of incentives, sorry.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

They will have more in a couple weeks. The next allotment is set for 4 million units, with the majority of them coming to the U.S. You shouldn't have a problem finding one then.

Walmart of Pousbo is getting a shipment in tomorrow... at least what they told me.

That simply will not do! ;)

Macster... if you're close to there and can verify tomorrow, let me know!

Costco around here is planning to have their shipment in today or tomorrow. 24-48 only per store. Each employee at each store will tell me something different though... grr.

I'm 15 minutes away if that helps you :)

Though I don't have the cashola to get one on the spot *not until Thursday at least* lol

Second wave of PS3 should hit the shelves on Thurs. Also as for the Wii... I'll ask some of my Nintendo friends. But I heard they are having a second wave before the end of this week.

PS3 can bite me, lol. We want a Wii!

I don't want to wait, I want it now!

Macster... Poulsbo is quite a distance for us to drive and expensive if we take the ferry. I would just die if they ran out before we got there. Ugh... what to do, what to do! I wonder if you could put one on layaway for me? I've never done layaway so I don't know how that all works.

SOB.

Lemme call and ask.

I love you Macster, I really do.

Alright, I called 5 stores and they are unable to put the Wii or PS3 on layaway until December.

Next shipments at most stores will be this week so you will pretty much have to call right about now.

Thanks for checking, Macster. I really, truly appreciate it!

In the other thread, I thought more than just Moscion mentioned that they are readily available. If they truly are somewhere, within a 100 mile radius of me, I want to know, lol. I'll get in my xB and flight like the wind!

WE ARE STILL WITHOUT A Wii.

PS: Ascension was just a ploy to get you to read my thread. Not nice, I know. But we need a Wii so badly that I'll risk your flames, lol.

not that funny... kinda hurtful actually...


Ebay has several Wii's available for MSRP or a little more, not too bad a deal. most even come with a game. Also, spoke to my bud at Nintendo and he said all of the next wave are already on teh ground jsut waiting for Nintendo to give the okay to release them.

Look for them in the next 5 days,

I will take the hurtful part out ASAP then. I meant nothing by it other than it would cause more people to view it. I would take a flaming for tricking them into looking but if it hurts someone, then it's gone. Sorry.

I was thinking about eBay but I don't want to wait that long. Looking for instant gratification here!

ebay prices went down, some have free shipping i gotta figure out tax ..ebay might be a better bet..herm

I just got back from my local Costco to try and get come clarity upon the many different stories they've been given me.

They seem to believe that the truck, holding the 24 Wiis, has arrived. It will not go on the floor tonight as they don't run forklifts during open hours (don't know if a forklift is needed for 24 units though).

It comes with the extra controller and two games. As for price, I think it was $339 but not sure on that. It did start with a 3 though, lol.

They open at 10 for business members so I'll show up early and make sure that if there is a line, I'm right in front. As to what time I should get there, I haven't a clue.

I will be uber bummed out if they haven't gotten the Wii or did not put it out on the floor. Ugh!

But still, if anyone can get me one tonight... do it! :)

I was one of the crazy people that waited all night outside a target to get my Wii i'm throughly enjoying teh legend of zeldaness right now :P

Jenna - What Costco is this that you're talking about? Marysville?

this sounds good..

CoryAnn, it was the Smokey Point Costco.

I went to my route at 1am and saw one person waiting in line so I high tailed it and got my route done in record time so I could get back to Costco and wait. I was #2 out of 24 that they had available.

It came with The Legend of Zelda and Excite Truck... not bad titles at all!

I'm beat-___ tired now though... and I have to stay awake since I got a 3 year old bouncing off the walls. Oh, and I'm very, very cold.

congrats on finding one!!

Sweet glad you found one, it seems to be the best deal all around!

Darn tootin! All of the ones at the Costcos around here were released yesterday and sold out. Only Puyallup & Tukwila had them this morning and I missed the boat on them. Oh well...next time.

I fail to understand the halfway-psychotic obsession-to-obtain that comes with the next-gen console releases. >..>

they want to be ahead of the "jones's"

Thanks... I worked hard for it, lol! I decided to ditch Legend of Zelda in the closet and give it to the boys for Christmas.

mattvs... surely there is many things in your life that I'd fail to understand as well, eh?

1) More than anything, I love to see my husband and three boys happy and ecstatic. Especially if I can have a hand in making it happen. It's not even a parent thing, I believe.

2) The thrill of the hunt.

3) And the system is AMAZING! Wow, the controller things are unbelievable!

Yeah Jenna/Matt/Kekai...I could really care less if I have the systems now or next year. It would have been fun to people who would over pay on eBay. But I also have brothers who are equally as excited about their release. Its their excitement that I want to see on xmas day. Its not keeping up with the Jones', its purely kids who want to play games. If I wanted to keep up with the Jones' a game console wouldn't do it...a hybrid dog (Labradoodle-ish), 5bd/4car garage house, kids in private school, and a housekeeper are more of ways to keep up on that end. I just wanted my brothers to have a wonderful holiday because they have so much fun playing their friend's systems.

Also, my family is hardcore on camping out for fun. We camped out for Star Wars. We camped out to tryout for "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". We camped out to have Martha Stewart sign our cookbooks. We camped out for concert tickets. We camped out for "Black Friday" after-Thanksgiving day tchochkies. Its fun and wonderful to meet such like-minded people and its truly an experience. I look forward to always camping out for things that I enjoy.

You know what, I totally would of had a MUCH better time if one of my family members could of waited there with me. That and brining a better blanket, my laptop and a chair, lol. Fortunately, I only had to stand in line for two hours as it was only me and another lady for the longest time at first and we decided to stay in our cars and keep warm, lol.

But doing the camping out thing, over night, would actually be fun if we brought the right stuff. Sure beats camp ground fees, lol.

eh... i have no issues... i've done my share of waiting inline early for things, and what not....

i was just posting a possible answer to ones question

i've camped out overnight for M's play off tickets only to miss the cut off by 4-5 people... camped out for movie premiers and numerous other things that others would sit there and ask "why?"

It's all for the love!!! I'm sad that so many gamers were unable to get PS3 systems due to scalpers just like they do to concerts/games. At least the Wii wasn't hit as hard. Definitely heading into a sad territory. I'm glad that scalpers didn't get to Star Wars premiers...that would've really ruined the energy!

I knew you weren't talking to me...sorry...things are a little raw right now with everything else that's going on. Please forgive me if I was short.

And Jenna...next time invite me! We'll have a blast. I've got the camping out in line thing down to a science!!! Its so much fun. Bringing things like board games, conversation starters, and snacks are always good ice breakers with the others in line.

My favorite campout had to be when my whole family waited all night at the Costco in Issaquah to meet President Clinton. The fact is, we were in the first 50 and he shook every one of our hands. So fun!!!

Shaking Clinton's hand, that's cool!

i Camped out overnight. didn't have a chair but the people there were really nice and brought me one, then i had my laptop movies and ALOT of blankets so me and the people next to me watched movies till teh laptop went dead so i ran home to get my power cord and extinstion cord while they saved my spot and pretty much watched movies till it started raning, then i had no umbrala :cry:

ouch... that sux.... did you end up with one tho?

Camie... I so wish I was half as prepared as you were. I just sat in my car, stewing over not remembering my laptop with wireless broadband or at least my book. I was left to the repeat of Howard Stern that I had just-just heard and my radio scanner, lol.

Now I can't find me some extra controlers. Ugh. I need to read up on how to use the DS things... we got two of them.

yesh i so got one! number 18 out of 42, and i got zelda! no extra stuff though didn't need it since i'm the only one that plays it and i have no family members besides my parents, so it's all mine! mwuahahahahaha

lol
