Went to Walmart last night a few hours before they were supposed to
sell them (12:01am). WII's were advertised in their circular....but
they only had 3 units. HUH?!! Are you kidding me. 3 units and for that
they put it in a circular. That's just nuts...could have been a riot
there. Needless to say I came home empty handed with two unhappy kids.
What's the best strategy to get one besides camping out? (I'm too old
for that.) Which stores seem to have a better supply?I prefer to buy
one from a store rather than from someone reselling at a premium.

I looked at the ads every Saturday night on the net. A week before
Christmas I found that Best Buy and Target had them in there ad. At
12am Sunday morning the wife went to Target's Web site and I went to
Best buy's web site. We both got one off the net and they were at our
house two days later. We keeped one for us and sold the other one to
the guy down the street. The only profit I made off the thing was
Christmas morning two kids came to my house with fresh baked cookies
and big thank yous for the wife and I.
