But it sounds like the "sold out before the doors open" situation has abated -- sometimes it takes ALL DAY Sunday for the Wii to sell out. :) I didn't say anyone could walk in there on Monday and pick up a Wii -- and yes, selling out every new shipment in a day or even two is still very impressive. I'm just saying that shipments have been steady and reliable, and if you get up on Sunday morning and check the ads it's certainly not impossible to get a Wii now. There's not a specific holiday rush at large right now, so it's not too hard to be the early bird who gets the Wii right now -- I expect it will be harder post-Thanksgiving. |
It'd been awhile, so I decided to check eBay just now to see where Wii prices were at. Stock consoles, NIB, are still hitting as high as $330 + S/H. Heck, I saw a used Wii on the first page fetch $280!
As long as the secondary market is still paying 20% over MSRP, I don't think we're going to see many Wiis on Monday mornings anytime soon.
