Are Nintendo Wii controlers still really hard to get?

crispystl · 01-10-2007, 08:17 AM

A store by my house has a few however there are only a couple on ebay.

I can't speak for everywhere else, but last weekend I couldn't find one at Wal-Mart, Gamestop or Hastings.

Do you still need one ??

jiveturkey · 01-10-2007, 08:27 AM

I can't find Wii's or controllers.

If you guys have pay pal I can get them 49.99 I think they are and whatever it costs to mail I wouldn't be making any money. I live in missouri so shipping to K.C. should be cheap. I'd have to go over there and look again at the price to make sure.

There are PS3s in every store I have been to lately, if you want one those aren't hard to get hold of

I know, with that phone coming out soon, I need to talk to my investor, buy buy buy that stock.

I actually have waited in two lines before christmas, I wanted to get the Wii for my two boys. (9,7). They like playing games so much and this way they will get some form of excercise to go with it.

But alas, there were always only so many to hand out.

What gets me is Nintendo is drop shipping a controlled amount of product around to the stores, like they are trying to drive up demand. Seems slightly shady, if the product is good, just get it out there. Oh and plus the shipments came in on a sat evening, so the store had them on a sunday morning, I see a grey area.

the Wiimotes are hard to get...but apparently very easy to lose

I respectfully disagree. They've produced all they can, IMO. The demand is just overwhelming.

I know, but when all the stores say they will have them on Sunday morning, it could be suspect, IMO.

Best thing about my story though, is in a year, next christmas, my kids will still be excited to get it.

They get them throughout the week, too.

No need for one if you just avoid buying them. Its all mind control.
