NNE Wii

OK, so it's been more'n a coupla weeks now: what's the best way to get a Wii in Boston-or-points-north before Xmas?

Edit Wow. I was hoping for responses like "Oh, yes, just go to Crazy Joe's Smoke Shop in Wigwam, New Hampshire, they have plenty." I am not willing to do any work for this outside of travel. Eh.

Since building a time machine is out of the question, I say get one off Craig's List. The sooner the better since I assume prices will only get worse as Christmas nears.

Otherwise GameStop did say they'd be getting shipments. I wonder if it really would pay off get there early every day just in case?

At least two GameStop/EBgames I've checked have said they won't be getting any more Wiis until January or February.

Ugh that stinks. Then I wonder if checking places other than gaming stores would work better? MicroCenter recently cut their books section down to almost nothing to make room for a gaming section. When I was there last weekend they were hawking Xboxes and had games for all platforms.

Speaking of MicroCenter... I went to them when I gave up on finding a Wii anytime in the next couple months. Got a 360 with $100 rebate, which made it only $50 more than the Wii.

I figure that'll tide me over, and I was planning on getting one anyway.
