(Expired) Bestbuy Will Have Nintendo Wiis in Stock on 12/21/07

if you are really desperate to get it, i would get there fairly early. i got in line around 7, and they passed out the vouchers around 9. they only had 30, so the rest of the 100+ people in line and all the late-wakers that came at 9:30 missed out :ohwell:
 
I got there last time at 6am and was #26. They only got 21 units in. Get there early. I'll be there bout 2am. should be 12/16
 
Do you know what day they are selling the wiis

December 16th or December 21'st
 
so once you get a voucher can you leave and come back later to pick it up?
 
I don't think It is right to leave. I say this because I stood in line 2 weeks ago at best buy and was lucky enough to get a voucher, I stayed in line, but several people left. Well about 10 mins after they had left new people were arriving to stand in line. Well these new people were not told the vouchers had been passed out, so they waited in line patiently, doing head counts and thinking they were entitled to a wii. About 15mins before store opening a BB CSR came outside and told everone that vouchers had been passed out and if you didn't have one then they were sold out. Well of course this made people waiting in line Very Upset Because By doing Head counts they were in line ready to get one. Just my 2cents
 
Don't blame the people for leaving... blame the store for not telling those people standing outside that vouchers were already passed out.

They have every right to leave if the store tells them that they are guaranteed one as long as they come back by noon. It's not their fault the store is a jerk for not putting up a sign or someone at the door alerting latecomers and stragglers.

That being said, if I got a voucher, I wouldn't wait to come back to get a Wii... I would be at the door with voucher in hand when they open the doors to make sure they don't sell my "Guaranteed" Wii... :teeth:
 
when i stood in line a couple weeks ago BB said vouchers were only valid till noon.
 
Oh and another note. Best Buy is evil.

I got in line (as I said before) around 7, when they passed the vouchers out at 9. Some of the people I'd talked to said they got there around 4:30. Anyways, the vouchers guaranteed that BB would hold a Wii for you until noon. I got it 2 Sundays ago... and I went back the very next day (to buy some other things)... and as I was talking to the cashier, he asked me if i was "part of the early crowd, or the noon crowd" that got one. I was confused, so I asked what he meant. Apparently at noon they "got another shipment" of 100. 100!!! I don't know if that was just a big coincidence, or BB's need to make some people suffer in line at 4am.
 
I gather that the ad is 12/16/07 but the product goes on sale 12/21/07. Correct me, if I am wrong. Does anyone have a status for TRU or Target. Will they have the same sale.
 
still confused

I am still confused, will they be sold this Sunday the 16th or on Friday the 21st? Seems odd they would do it on a friday. But what do I know, I'm just a guy who plans on standing in 9 degree weather for a video came console :)
:verysad:
 
your going down bargain hunterz, I'm already in line! lol
 
Just called a local BB store and the sales rep said Wii would be on sale tomorrow morning (Dec 16) and the store opens at 8am.
It should be extended holiday store hours.
The whole ad scan can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/14552861@N05/sets/72157603453306041/ and the store hours mentioned on the last page.

You may want to check with your local BB stores and plan to go there earlier than you thought. Good Luck Spoofeers!!! :)

Best buy had 51 this am

Went to best buy at 4:30am, was the first in line. They came out and announced they had 51 tickets. Finally got one....
 
I got mine by going to Wiialerts.com. You should sign up for cellphone text alerts. I can attest they do not SPAM you. I got min for 249.99, free shipping, no tax at Amazon.com. They sold out in less than 10 min.

The following is from their website:

V I C T O R I O U S !!!!!!!!!!Finally......Thanks for the tips people.:claps:
 
i had to sign up on this site to let people kno the ordeal i went through this morning and had pulled an all nighter for this one. i went best buy (Pasadena, CA) at 6 am to line up and get one but the vouchers stopped at 56. This guy in front of me was willing to anything to get a Wii for his daughter and with the bad news after 55 vouchers were handed out, he left. I, on the other hand, left for circuity city hoping to cash in on it. There was a couple behind that was at best buy got to circuit city to wait and they handed out only 26 vouchers but there was this lady talkin' on her cell fone sayin' that the target (two story that is) on Lake and Colorado (again Pasadena, CA) had a 150 in stock! After the initial handouts of 26 vouchers, i high-tailed it to target and luckily everyone in line that was there got one (mind you, one per family). they were well organized and I'm happy to get one (oh yeah! target had about 120in stock which made everyone's day in line. moral of the story: find a target preferably a two floor target and pray that they have more in stock than BB or CC!
