My local manager warned me of this on Thursday. Said they probably wouldn't make it until Sunday. Guess she was right.

Unless we know the volume allocated, it's hard to get excited but I'm sure many will find a way.
2005 all over again

All I can say is good luck to those thinking they will be able to walk into a store and find it this holiday season. And Black Friday will clear any remaining in the back of stores lol

You might want to hurry. I missed out on one at Gamestop by only a few minutes, and when my friend and I went online top pre-order them at BB for in-store pick-up, we could see stores running out of them while we each shopped. Pachter vindicated!

My local Best Buy store is no longer taking preorders for the 32GB, and multiple locations in my area are also no longer taking preorders for the 8GB. Just wait and see, it's going to be 2005 all over again. If you want one during the launch window, just go ahead and preorder ASAP. Don't be left kicking yourself this time.
I had the hardest time getting a Wii. I got one not long after launch, but because I didn't preorder it I had to spend at least 46-72 hours total waiting for one. I'd go to the store each day when I knew the truck was showing up and wait for a few hours since a line formed every day, and we would just wait to be told if they had any on the truck that day. It was usually no so we would all leave then come back the next day.

remember fellas. the Wii was coming off the GC.
the Wii U is coming off the Wii.
the amount of people looking for the direct sucessor of their console is way bigger this time around.
i just hope i can waltz into a store on launch day and score a unit like with the GC and Wii back in their days. console launches are usually quiet in my country.

I remember lucking out and buying a Wii, playing it for a couple of months, and then selling it on eBay used for more than I purchased it new. Good times.

I don't even have to do it when you have a cousin who is a distribution manager for wal-mart lol. I just give him the money and it'll end up coming to me eventually.
