    Yea that's a good bet. Keep calling Targets. They sell them Sunday mornings as well.

    I got mine in March, and I still had to go to Target by 7:30 a.m. in the morning (they open at 8), and there were still about 15 people in front of me. In freakin March! Crazy man. Good luck finding one though.

    Oh, and get Mario Galaxy if you manage to snag up a Wii. I can't say enough good things about the game. Best damn game I've played this decade (along with Metroid Prime). It's that good!

    I found one for my kids here in the valley at noon at a Wal Mart Monday afternoon. I got it for 249.00.

    If you'd like, I can check the stores down here for you. I'll send it to you for actual shipping if I find one....let me know.

    I've got access to Best Buy Employee auctions and there some on there in good condition that you can buy for around $320, one is in new condition for about $350.

    I have a few invites I can give out.

    Portable DVD players 50 bucks, DVD Recorders about the same, PS3s, 360s, etc.

    You have to be on my good side :cool:

    Its a small site, and mostly everything they sell has been previously used... but is still in good condition. You can get a decent laptop for around $350... or a damn nice Desktop w/o monitor (2.3 Ghz, 2 GM Ram, 400 GB HD) for around the same.

    Sometimes you can get a good deal on new stuff. For instance I bought a brand new Sprint Fusic phone about 80 bucks plus tax and shipping. I think they are still going for 200 new.

    Hmmm...I don't think I've ever gotten into an argument with you, but don't send me that invite because I'm rebuilding my Christmas fund right now...I cleaned it out on the kids last weekend...

    Bought one this morning.

    Here's a little secret. Most Best Buys only get shipments of 25 or so. If you're not there by 6-7 in the morning before a 10 a.m. open, you're not gonna get one.

    But there are 2 "flagship" stores in the area that get around 60 with each shipment. One is in the Woodlands. The other is at Hwy 6 @ Westheimer. I went to the Hwy. 6 store at 8:45. I was number 56 out of 64 and got the Wii.

    Hell, I got one this morning at ToysRus in Lewisville, Tx (North of Dallas)...I heard friday from the "guy" that they'll be getting some in but get here early on Sunday...Well, I was too lazy to get up real early, so I woke up at 6:10 and got there about 6:40 a.m.

    To my surprise there were only 4 people in line, so great, I'm 5th, life is good...Well, this guy says he got there at 4:30 and at 6:30 they passed out 20 slips saying that was it...Half the left but I stayed...The guy first in line heard there were 30...So I waited as I only had another 50 minutes to go...7:55 came and they handed out 10 more slips...Wii in hand...whew...

    I asked the mgr and he said that they sell them every Sunday no matter if they get shipments during the week...Total BS...I tend to think a lot of stores are stockpiling...I think the Plano Store is flagship store as the lady said the 10 "extra" came from there...
