I waited in line for 2 hours one morning to get one.. this was after they had already been out 2 months too... I did just happen to see about 10 of them at meijers the other day.

Janec Rookie Author Boise Posts:3 Points:1,760 Joined:Jun 2008	Message Posted: Jul 10, 2008 8:33:08 AM Ignore Janec Report Abuse I bought a bundle online from Walmart. Came with the console plus 2 controllers, 2 nun chucks, wii play, some sports pack thing (attachments for your wii to make it more realistic when playing tennis, baseball, and golf), and 5 other games I got to choose from a list. Ended up being about $600 with shipping and everything.

It almost seems as though Nintendo doesn't care one bit about the US market!

I used http://www.xpbargains.com/wii_locator.php and got mine about 2 months ago. They seem to be becoming easier to find.

People are going to look at electronics stores before Meijer. I've learned to check meijer if I'm ever looking for a video game. I never see anyone else buy video games at one. It amazes me.
