Get a Wii This Weekend

by Tim Stevens on April 25, 2007 at 08:45 AM



For many, the search for a Nintendo Wii console has been long and fruitless. The little white box has been just about the hottest gadget in retail stores since it launched last November. It is in such high demand that it's rarely seen on store shelves, forcing thousands of would-be Wiiers to get up early Sunday mornings week after week in the hopes of finding one.

If this leaked GameSpot memo revealed by Joystiq is to be believed, this weekend may be the time to get a Wii. The memo indicates that GameStop and EBGames retail stores will be stocking 20 or more Wiis for sale this Sunday morning, along with 10 or so of Microsoft's new Xbox 360 Elite.

Does this mean you'll be able to waltz to your local store Sunday afternoon and walk out with a Wii? Not likely. There are still plenty of gamers who want a Wii, so you'd best call your local store to make sure they'll have some, then get there early. Very early.
