Where’s My Wii?

As Wii are becoming harder and harder to find, more and more parents are starting to realize just what a disappointment Christmas day is going to be for their Children (or themselves.)

Nintendo says that they are making Wii available just as quickly as they can. Fortunately, they aren’t so rare that you can’t find them anywhere. Online auction giant Ebay has several Wii available. The bad news is that you can expect to pay nearly double what you could get the console for from a brick and mortar store. Some auctions I have watched had the final value of the super successful console around $550. That’s double its worth, plus another fifty bucks.

Did you have a Wii previous to the Christmas 2007 rush, or did you manage to secure one for your family for this Christmas? Perhaps you bought one no matter what the cost. Let us know how you got yours, or if you are still patiently waiting.
