Can't Find Wii for the Holidays?
Can't find a Nintendo Wii anywhere locally?
Here's a quick list of ideas to help you track down a Wii before the holidays.
The Bargain Tracker: Keep your browser parked at WiiTracker.com. It's a subset of something called Ben's Bargains ("Where ghetto dogs come for the lowdown on deals") with a Wii-focused portal page that checks listed merchants on a regular basis to see if they have the Wii in stock. The site includes an RSS feed that updates automatically when a store reports availability. As of 12/6/07 @ 11:14 a.m., everyone's sold out, but several retailers, from Toys R Us and Costco to Buy.com, have shown the system briefly in stock over the last 48 hours. With Nintendo of America spokeswoman Anka Dolecki saying that the company will have twice as many Wiis available this year as it did at the product's launch last November, count on those retailers to restock several times before the month's up. (UPDATE: Here's another tracker, which as of 12:44 P.M. CST says Amazon and GameStop both have the Wii back in stock!)
