Nowadays, it seems like everyone is looking to buy a Nintendo Wii Game Console. People are waiting outside stores early in the morning or driving from store to store in hopes of locating that holy grail of gaming systems, the Nintendo Wii. Unfortunately, the demand for the Wii is considerably higher than the supply. Fortunately, it’s possible to find a Wii if you know where to look.
Ideally, if you are able to buy a Nintendo Wii Game Console, you won’t have to drive all over town to do it. This wastes a lot of time and money and can be extremely frustrating. There is nothing worse than wasting a day driving to ten to fifteen stores searching for a Wii console bundle. Granted, you could stay home and try calling the stores, but there are no guarantees that the person on the other line will know what you are talking about or be able to reserve the console if they do happen to have one in stock.
Other people try to find Wii’s available via classified ads. While this can be useful sometimes, it’s often difficult to find a Wii. Another problem is you are out in the cold if the Wii doesn’t work. Add on to that problem that you might have to pay above retail price to actually get the Wii gaming system and using the classified ads is no longer a great alternative.
A final option is to search online. There are websites designed to help people find Wiis that are available. The problem with these websites is that they may not be updated frequently and often the supplies are just as low as retail stores. If you want to buy a Nintendo Wii Game Console from an online site, your chances of finding a good site to purchase from are fairly remote.
The best place I’ve found to get a Wii Console online is eBay. They always have Wii Consoles available and ready to ship. Sometimes, the price is a little higher, but it saves a lot of hassle from running around town or searching through classifieds for hours. Ebay is also a trusted online merchant so you don’t have to worry about getting ripped off or having no recourse if the unit you get doesn’t work.
I was lucky enough to find a site to Buy a Nintendo Wii Game Console They have a constant supply of Wii’s available for shipping. Buy a Wii today and start enjoying your free time instead of using it to search for the Wii.

ill sell you one for 75$ plus shipping…it doesnt have hookups but works good..hook ups will cost around 20 bucks at a electronics dealer….but if u wanna goto a store then i would say best buy, after thanks giving sales usually they get in new colors and such for christmas that cost more and they will cut the price on the regular after thanks giving….basically u need controllers with it, i like super smash bros. also there are good games for kids and u can tell by the titles…im older so i dont know what he would like, but good luck
Target and Walmart always seems to have them on Wednesdays, because it is probably when they get their shipments.
I don’t think we will see a price change with the Wii anytime soon. There is still a high demand for them at the current price. So it would be foolish for Nintendo to lower price.
Although there are a ton of good games out there like Zelda and Mario, I think the virtual console is pretty cool because you can download old school games, which are fairly easy to play. The good thing is…they are fairly cheap to download ($5).
One last thing, I believe the availability of the Wii is also based on where you live. I live in the mid-west and I have had one for almost two years. I can go to Walmart, Target, or Best Buy and not have a problem finding one.
Good luck
