PLEASE Find Us a Wii! HELP!
I posted this on the "Tis a Wii Long Night" thread but thought I'd make a separate one as my need is desperate. We need a mother effing Wii and we need it now!
PLEASE HELP US FIND/LOCATE A Wii! IF YOU CAN BUY US ONE TODAY OR LOCATE ONE NEAR YOUR HOME, I WILL GIVE YOU A TIP, $30 OR SOMETHING. I WILL DRIVE OUR ASSES STRAIGHT TO YOUR HOME OR MEET UP AREA, DRUG DEALER STYLE, AND MAKE PURCHASE THIS FROM YOU OR GIVE YOU THE TIP MONEY FOR SUCCESSFULLY FINDING US A PLACE TO BUY THIS AT.
If you do help us and buy it, please call me on my cell (360-631-156
to verify that I still need to buy one before doing so. If you can direct us to a place that has one, can you find out how many they have or something? I would just scream if we drove to Puyallup, just to find out they're sold out already.
I can offer you the tip money, King crab, a male child (10, 8 or 3 years old), a house plant or a hug. I know, not much in the way of incentives, sorry.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Macster... if you're close to there and can verify tomorrow, let me know!
Costco around here is planning to have their shipment in today or tomorrow. 24-48 only per store. Each employee at each store will tell me something different though... grr.

PS3 can bite me, lol. We want a Wii!
I don't want to wait, I want it now!
Macster... Poulsbo is quite a distance for us to drive and expensive if we take the ferry. I would just die if they ran out before we got there. Ugh... what to do, what to do! I wonder if you could put one on layaway for me? I've never done layaway so I don't know how that all works.
SOB.

Alright, I called 5 stores and they are unable to put the Wii or PS3 on layaway until December.
Next shipments at most stores will be this week so you will pretty much have to call right about now.

Thanks for checking, Macster. I really, truly appreciate it!
In the other thread, I thought more than just Moscion mentioned that they are readily available. If they truly are somewhere, within a 100 mile radius of me, I want to know, lol. I'll get in my xB and flight like the wind!

Ebay has several Wii's available for MSRP or a little more, not too bad a deal. most even come with a game. Also, spoke to my bud at Nintendo and he said all of the next wave are already on teh ground jsut waiting for Nintendo to give the okay to release them.
Look for them in the next 5 days,

I will take the hurtful part out ASAP then. I meant nothing by it other than it would cause more people to view it. I would take a flaming for tricking them into looking but if it hurts someone, then it's gone. Sorry.
I was thinking about eBay but I don't want to wait that long. Looking for instant gratification here!

I just got back from my local Costco to try and get come clarity upon the many different stories they've been given me.
They seem to believe that the truck, holding the 24 Wiis, has arrived. It will not go on the floor tonight as they don't run forklifts during open hours (don't know if a forklift is needed for 24 units though).
It comes with the extra controller and two games. As for price, I think it was $339 but not sure on that. It did start with a 3 though, lol.
They open at 10 for business members so I'll show up early and make sure that if there is a line, I'm right in front. As to what time I should get there, I haven't a clue.
I will be uber bummed out if they haven't gotten the Wii or did not put it out on the floor. Ugh!
But still, if anyone can get me one tonight... do it!

CoryAnn, it was the Smokey Point Costco.
I went to my route at 1am and saw one person waiting in line so I high tailed it and got my route done in record time so I could get back to Costco and wait. I was #2 out of 24 that they had available.
It came with The Legend of Zelda and Excite Truck... not bad titles at all!
I'm beat-___ tired now though... and I have to stay awake since I got a 3 year old bouncing off the walls. Oh, and I'm very, very cold.
