I think I’ll be waiting until Spring to see if they really do add colors and drop the price, as CrunchGear has mentioned before. I’m still happy with my 360, but I must say the Wii is intriguing. I think Wii60 is the way to go in the next gen console wars!
In search of wii
My search started in mid-october when my 10 year old son asked for a wii for Christmas. I knew from the start that I had to find him one because of the connection with my name. You see, my name is William Isaac Ishman with my initials being WII and my sons name being William Isaac Ishman the 2nd, WII 2. As a matter of fact my wife refers to us as wii 1 and wii 2. Every weekend in October and November my time was spent searching all stores in the city I live in, including walmart,toys r us, best buy,circuit city,comp USA and many others with no results. I spent hours standing in lines and even witnessed a fight in best buy, when two elderly men reached for the last wii. When December arrived I was about to tell my son that their would probably be no wii for Christmas this year, but first I wanted to give the online stores a try. I check all of the big box stores, always with the same results”out of stock”. I ended up checking a couple of the wii tracker sites, and their it was at amazon.com “in stock”. Amazon was selling the wii for $250.00 that morning. I immediately went to their site and purchased one.It was worth every penny just to see the look on my sons (wii 2) face Christmas morning. The wii trackers had really done the job for me.
If you are not around the computer when Wii’s are in stock- you are screwed. Better to get an SMS immediately! Free SMS update at http://www.wiidget.com/mobileupdate/

Personally Nintendo screwed up royally. Promised this thing to my kid. BUT cannot find it anywhere. 300 million people live in the states, and theres only several hundred on EBAY.

Now all we need is an RSS feed that creates a story when any item changes.

What’s the hurry for the Holidays anyway? I’d rather wait to get a Wii with the incredibly more secure strap they’re shipping with now.

I wonder how many people making the thing go out of stock in 10 minutes actually want it, and how many want to scalp it on eBay?
If necessary, I’m willing to wait for December 26th and the inevitable price crash.

Neat tool, should get plenty of use considering the hype revolving around both consoles.
