Forums - Nintendo - November - December 2007 Wii buyers

I have a couple of quick questions for Wii purchasers over the last couple of months.

(1) When did you purchase your Wii

(2) Where did you purchase your Wii

(3) What is the manufacturing date on your Wii

I'm looking for this information because I'd like to see how long Wiis are sitting in warehouses, on boats, and in stores combined.  Thanks!

I was able to secure 4 nintendo Wiis in the month of November.

The first one was purchased at a gamestop the week before black friday. I got EXTREMELY lucky because the manager sold part of his black friday stock but didn't realize that he was not allowed to. He was able to part with like 6 Wiis, I got one of them.

The next 3 I got on the black friday sale from Amazon.com. Cheapassgamer.com said that they would have Nintendo Wiis in stock. I only bought 3 because that is all Amazon would allow to be shipped to a single household address/user. I paid a normal retail price as well for those as well.

P.S. I'm not a bad guy here, I sold the other two Wiis to my brothers and my Aunt at cost.

4 wiis would be good for gathering this kind of information -- is there any chance you'll be able to get back to this thread with the manufacture dates of those Wiis?  It should be on the bottom or back of the Wiis.



I mean I can check them out for you next week when I visit my brothers, and I can get you mine on christimas or christimas eve. Sure.

Mine was shipped from amazon.de on the 20th of November, but I'm currently not in the same country where my Wii is so I'll tell you on the 4th of January!

It should be interesting to see the responses, maybe we can make some sense of how and when Wiis were moved around the world for the holidays.

After checking the bottom and sides of my console, I can't find any manufacturing date. Anywhere else I should look?
