Ha! Shocking news from Nintendo!
Posted: Fri Nov 16, 2007 1:17 pmWell, it's been almost a year since the Nintendo Wii was released to the masses. And as we all know, it was impossible to get hold of back then, as most were sold on preorder (I was lucky enough to go to TRU on a tf run and find 7 hidden by a worker woman- hiding it from scalpers 
).
Some stock leaked out through the year, but as christmas sneaks forward once more, Wii stocks are still dwindling. That's right, yet again meager stocks of what appears to be the world's favourite console.
It seems that a lot of people won't be receiving one this christmas. But I do have some advice to pass on from our dear friends at BBC news.
In Germany, the Wii is still in more or less plentiful stock, whether it's because our neighbours have yet to receive their christmas bonuses, or because they are more careful with their money I don't know.
We have also been told that most German internet stores will not sell Wii stock to other countries. But there are some sites that will still do it. I have no names myself, but if you are Wii hunting this year check around teh net!
If that isn't an option, I suggest the standard tf hunting strategy; venture out to every store you know that could possibly stock the item, and ask any and every staff member you can find.
Good luck to all!
PS Doesn't this make you smile? All the retailers I visit can't throw the PS3 at potential customers!
360 stock is the same as always- some movers.
