There's an absolute ton of systems coming to the Tampa Bay Area. No worries about snagging one on launch day.

 

[bluemax]

This thing is not very good. I entered my area code (that's what you're supposed to enter right?) and it lists stores in Fresno, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Texas and Virginia.

I live neard downtown Los Angeles.

Uh...

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

24+33+24+33=114 for the city of Vancouver, and that's not counting the stores in Portland.

Uh...

Just type in Los Angeles.

Did you put it in parentheses?

[bachikarn]

Do you guys think Wal Mart will get a similar amount?

 

[Grampa Simpson]

HAHA!

Target as a chain is getting almost as many Wii systems as Japan as a country is getting PS3s.

That just tickles me.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

There's an absolute ton of systems coming to the Tampa Bay Area. No worries about snagging one on launch day.

Does anyone know how much each box is supposed to weigh? I'd like to calculate how many tons of Wii systems target is getting.

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Two Targets near me will have 120 Wiis.

 

[spengo]

nevermind

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Are any Targets doing a midnight launch or open twenty four hours?

 

[SS4Gogita]

24 at the one I'll be going to. Doesn't sound like a lot, but our city is relatively small (around 90,000 people), and I'll be getting there at least an hour beforehand.

 

[JJConrad]

68,958 systems at launch for Target. Any estimates on total launch numbers?

 

[Odinson]

There's an absolute ton of systems coming to the Tampa Bay Area. No worries about snagging one on launch day.

Dale mabry Target getting 60 and Town n Country getting 39. I'm close to both so great backups if I can't get it at mid-night at wal-mart.

 

[Boards of Canada]

Hopefully this means Futureshop up here in Canada will be getting plenty.

 

[threeball]

I camped out at Target for the Game Cube, and there were probably 120 people in line but only 54 Game Cubes. Good thing I camped out for 15 hours in advance to be #22 in line otherwise it would have been tough luck for me.

Anyway, that Target I camped out at in 2001 is only getting 24 Wiis, surprising because its a pretty busy Target in the DFW area suburbs.

 

[cvxfreak]

Anyone know where the Las Vegas Targets are?

 

[AdmiralViscen]

Wow, a 15 hour campout for GameCube? I walked into a TRU at 11am and plucked one (of many) off a shelf. They were sold out of Wave Race and spare controllers, though.

 

[Vard]

Targets aren't opening at midnight for the launch like TRU, right?

 

[spengo]

Targets aren't opening at midnight for the launch like TRU, right?

I highly doubt it but I could be wrong. I don't think they ever have in the past.

Yeah, I got there at 5:00pm on the Saturday before launch and there were already 21 people ahead of me. I braved the rain and cold through the night(it literally poured, 45 degree weather) and got my GCN, Luigi's Mansion and Wave Race. I guess it was worth it. I had done a Pokemon GSC campout the year before(4 hours prior, 36th in line) there so thats why I camped there.

[TekunoRobby]

All for Miami, FL (Dade):
Dadeland - 81
Bird Road - 60
Kendall - 69
Downtown - 60
Cutler Ridge - 39
North Miami Beach - 42

 

[tanasten]

WOW. This thing absolutely amazes me

Now, the predictions threads should became edited by zones. :lol

 

[lachesis]

60 of them. whoa.. not bad.

 

[gamergirly]

24 units. What a load of crap. That's a waste of time.

Do you guys think Wal Mart will get a similar amount?

Walmart should get more.

24 at the one I'll be going to. Doesn't sound like a lot, but our city is relatively small (around 90,000 people), and I'll be getting there at least an hour beforehand.

Same with us. That didnt stop the preorders at EB/GS & TRU from vanishing within seconds. 24 units for a 90,000 populated town is very low.

 

[cvxfreak]

Found all the Vegas locations, looking good:

Meadows 263 - 24
East Target 264 - 42
Flamingo 265 - 42
Henderson 680 - 51
Las Vegas NW 826 - 51
West Las Vegas 850 - 39
Silverado Ranch 1171 - 81
Boca Park 1207 - 156
North Target 1243 - 60
Far NW Target 1462 - 69
Fat SW Target 1524 - 60
Diamond 2164 - 51

 

[Amir0x]

All three local targets are getting 60+. That's convenient! Man, who buys so many videogames down here... up here in the Poconos, it always seems like there are systems on launch day.

 

[lachesis]

In NJ (201 area)

Edgewater Target, NJ - 60
Hackensack Target, NJ - 120 (!!!)
North Bergen Commons Target, NJ - 39
Jersey City Target, NJ - 60

The thing is... that Bergen county targets close on sundays, though.

 

[AniHawk]

Apparently when you search for Hell, you get three separate stores.

Hell is getting 162 units.

 

[MarkRyan]

Hurray SF bay area--610 Wiis within about a ten mile radius. But I'm planning on being in the Sacramento area that weekend, which is even better--fewer people, 621 systems in the area. Just spread out between more stores.

 

[Bebpo]

Wow, the one near me is getting 210. Maybe I can just walk in on launch day and grab one

 

[spengo]

Apparently when you search for Hell, you get three separate stores.

Hell is getting 162 units.

:lol

Heaven is getting 0. :'(

 

[chinmonster]

Looks like 33. Arriving 3 hours early ftw, going home if noone's there.

 

[platypotamus]

Nice, 81 at the target within walking distance of my house. They have been promoted to backup plan if the midnight madness fails me.

 

[~Kinggi~]

33 for me, and since the launch is a Sunday morning (is that correct???) then ill be able to afford to wait a few hours.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

33 at my local target and 60 in WhiteMarsh.

 

[Stabby McSter]

81 - 1025 T-1025 Elk Grove Target Store (916)683-5356 7505 Laguna Blvd Elk Grove CA
60 - 1527 T-1527 Sacramento SW Target Store (916)525-3576 8101 Cosumnes River Blvd Sacramento CA 95823 200 290 220

Awesome for the two main Targets I go to.
Too bad I'm not getting one at launch. :lol :lol
Good to know that I should be able to if it becomes an impulse buy, though.

 

[gamergirly]

33 for me, and since the launch is a Sunday morning (is that correct???) then ill be able to afford to wait a few hours.

Dont count on it.

 

[Hooterville]

Where is the PS3 list?

 

[Tornado Condor]

60 in bakersfield. two targets with 60 Wii's each

Hurray SF bay area--610 Wiis within about a ten mile radius. But I'm planning on being in the Sacramento area that weekend, which is even better--fewer people, 621 systems in the area. Just spread out between more stores.

The Serramonte store looks awesome as well. I would go a few hours early and hang out at the 24 hour Starbucks nearby.

 

[gamergirly]

Where is the PS3 list?

You can probably make a good guess. 5-6 units for smaller Targets, 15-20 for the bigger ones. Camp out total

 

[platypotamus]

60 in bakersfield. two targets with 60 Wii's each

math ftw?

 

[MarkRyan]

The Serramonte store looks awesome as well. I would go a few hours early and hang out at the 24 hour Starbucks nearby.

Yeah, I imagine you'd be guarnateed a system there if you showed up even only an hour or so early--210 people lined up around one swastika-shaped mall? Hard to imagine.

 

[jamesinclair]

Damnit, my most convenient target

24 1441 T-1441 Somerville Target Store (617)776-4036 180 Somerville Ave Somerville MA 2143

Only 24?

Guess Ill need to hop on a bus a find this one

69 1442 T-1442 Watertown Target Store (617)924-6574 550 Arsenal St Watertown MA 2472


or....BEST BUY!

 

[AirBrian]

39 + 24 + 60 + 60 + 111 + 42 = 336

All within ~7 miles. I shouldn't have a problem.

 

[~Kinggi~]

If Zelda turn out to be godly im gonna be one depressed son of a bitch if i cant get a wii on launch. I swear what a scam by nintendo to delay the gc version.

 

[g23]

60 ! The bay for the win!

 

[Sweedishrodeo]

210 in wilmington de

 

[LM4sure]

We have no idea if this thing is legit. If it is, it will be extremely easy to find a Wii on launch day.
