If your looking for a Wii, WiiFit, MarioKart etc you'll find them at Targets this weekend.

The stores were told not to put out additional units over the past 2 weeks to tie in with a large Sales Add this weekend. Needless to say, Target Algonquin has 94 Wii's in the back room they are putting out on Saturday AM. Im sure the others do as well.

I bought one in March like this. Show up at least 30 min before the store opens.

This is July and they get shipments all the time. Ive seen plenty at Walmart, Target, CC etc. No need to get there 30 mins before they open.

True but Target stores were told not to put them out for the past 2 weeks. And now Target is going to bi-weekly truck shipments instead of weekly to cut back on fuel charges.

Just and FYI for ya all.

No clue.. I know few weeks ago, some on here for looking for them.

With amazon you don't pay tays... $250 * 1.1 = $25 extra. Is $25 worth the instant gratification... If you have kids I suppose. LOL

They are readily available now. No shortages. Target has them and I just saw them at Walmart and TRU the other day.

No shortages..yet. Still, if they are on your shopping list this season, it'd be best to get one soon.

I have never seen a Wii Fit in stock, but my sister in Washington state has found them readily.

I was at the Best Buy in LaGrange (LaGrange Rd near Plainfield Rd, I think) yesterday and they had a couple pallets of Wiis sitting out. I saw a stack of Wii Fits as I was walking out as well.

Correct.

The Wii comes with Wii Sports, but if you want the game Wii Fit, it's an extra $90 I think. Comes with the game and a balance board.
