Wal-Mart? Target?

Are any stores confirmed to be hoarding their shipments of Wii for black friday?

 

[bachikarn]

Does anyone know if 24-7 Wal-Marts are going to have Wii's on sale at 12:01 or at like 5 AM when their Black Friday deals start?

Ebgames/Gamestop and Best Buy.

Didn't Gamestop not even have enough to fill out pre-orders?

I thought it was the PS3 that didn't fill-out the pre-orders. Best Buy might be your best chance though, so get up early and wait.

Yeah but that just tell you stores that sell it, not if any are actually in stock.

 

[Sullichin]

I guess I'll wait outside Best Buy then. I don't see it confirmed on their site or flyer, though.

GameStop doesn't open until later, anyway

 

[Bat]

What time do Best Buys and Gamestops open tomorrow?

 

[bill0527]

According to friends of mine that work in every different retail store in town, they've all got Wii's and have had them for several days, but they're holding them in the back for Black Friday.

What time do Best Buys and Gamestops open tomorrow?

According to my local flyer, all EBs in town open at 7am. I'm going to go at 6am and see how the line is.

 

[Sullichin]

My Target flyer says they'll have Wiis at 8:00AM.

Does this mean that the stores actually have units in stock?

 

[MiamiWesker]

Anyword if any store will have some component cables for the Wii or is it still the hardest video game related product to find this christmas

really?

futureshop, bestbuy canada

I went to Bestbuy to ask today and the man said that though they're certain they'll come in friday, they just don't know what time, the truck could arrive at any time to ship them. This really blows, what the hell am I supposed to do? Drive there at random times hoping they've shipped and haven't sold out?

 

[6.8]

hit the website and choose pickup in store. that's what I'll be doing.

Stores have phone numbers. Crazy, I know.

Best Buy is going to be crazy up here, they'll have a minimum of 10 PS3's per store to go along with the 20 Wii's.

and they suck at adding:

Wii System
$250

+1 Remote Controller
$40

+1 Nunchuk Controller
$40

Madden 2007
$50

Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz
$50

Total Cost
$390

last time I checked 250 + 40 + 40 + 50 +50 = 430

Last time I checked, the pickup in store option is not available for the Wii (WTF), but if i'm wrong I'll do this for sure. If I can't I'll ask that they ship it. I just don't have the time or the means to look at every store, every day.

I checked and you could use it. Whether they let you do it when the quantity is higher than 0 is still a mystery. Maybe it was only for the launch?

 

[neptunes]

Oh most futureshops and canadian bestbuys already have their shipment of wii's for tomorrow. Some even got a few yesterday but they're all holding them back for friday to co-incide with their weekend flyer.

if they had them out and they became sold out before the flyer hit, they'd be some serious shit.

[Ecrofirt]

Goddamn, I'm so torn now.

I've got a freind working at Best Buy and he assured me several times they won't be selling Wiis locally until Sunday, where they'll have 47.

Bah, and I searched Best Buy's site for my local ad, and there's no Wii mentioned in it.

[DenogginizerOS]

My Target flyer says they'll have Wiis at 8:00AM.

Which flyer? I have the 2-day flyer and saw nothing in mine.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

People that go to Best Buy on black friday are even crazier than those who camp out for system launches.

 

[Deku]

In Canada, Futureshop will get them in. Not sure about the other stores but they probably will as well. First come first serve for Futureshop. They open at 10am

 

[Vard]

Do you think KB Toys might have some? It seems like they're always overlooked, especially for video games...

Anyone know when they usually open?

 

[AirBrian]

My Target flyer says they'll have Wiis at 8:00AM.

Where are you at? My Target ad does not mention Wii at all. :|

 

[GrimReaper]

The 8 games Wii bundle on the Wal-Mart web site has some in stock, for those interested.

That's sweet, Sherway Best Buy is where I'm going. Are they going to be selling PS3's tomorrow?

 

[Steriletom]

Actually, just found out that a friend will be spending the night there with his older brother and brother's girlfriend since there will only be 13 PS3's available. Gonna go with him and do some inventory management hoemeworks. My first over night console line up. Officially a videogame geek? *heart

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Pretty sure my K-Mart and Wal-Mart have them in, as with my EB. My K-Mart is so unknown, so I'll go in crazy early tomorrow to check. It's like right nexdt to my neighborhood and not anywhere near the crazy parts of town, so I won't run into too many crowds.

 

[paul777]

I just passed by the Burbank Best Buy and there's at least 100 people in line. Un****ingbelievable.

 

[Madame M]

Yes, all those people in line want Wiis, not dirt cheap laptops

 

[MiamiWesker]

Same in Miami, past by a BB and easily over 100 people in tents.

 

[Anobyl]

anyone know what time they're going to go on sale at walmart?

 

[jonezer4]

Walmart's black friday officially starts at 5am, but several Walmarts have been confirmed to not have the damn thing in stock.

 

[Doc Holliday]

past by the best buy in Tustin in orange county....at least 60+ camping. Gamestop looked empty tho, might be my best bet.

Lends merit to the aforementioned theory that people are camping out for cheap electronics, and not Wiis.

What about Canada where we don't have Black Friday? They're camping out for the wii.

 

[Pellham]

damn my stupid walmart doesnt have jack

 

[Deku]

What about Canada where we don't have Black Friday? They're camping out for the wii.

After work I dropped by futureshop today for a couple of minutes to peruse some electronics and as I walk by the electronics department there was this lady was heckling a sales clerk setting up a 360 inventory display to make sure no one will cut in her line tomorrow.

Crazy crazy stuff.

 

[bachikarn]

So retarded. I called them yesterday and they said they would have some on Friday. I just went to check it out and now they are saying they won't have any until Dec 7th. Bleh.
