How To Get a Wii: A Lazy Man’s Guide February 11, 2007

Posted by David Kaye in : Games , trackback

nintendo-wii1.jpgLike many people, I’ve been trying to buy a Wii for a couple of months now. If you’re like me, however, the idea of hanging out in Best Buy/Target/EB holds no appeal, and you’re not going pay a premium on eBay either. There are ways to get a Wii with virtually no effort, however. I got mine a few days ago - here’s how.

1. Go to the Wii page on Nowinstock.net and sign up for email/RSS alerts. This will alert you whenever a Wii is available for online purchase. Their alerts are pretty good, and they are free, but for total coverage you’re going to have to spend $2 in the next step.

2. Next, visit iTrackr. iTrackr monitors local inventory availability at places like Best Buy and Target. Don’t bother tracking EB Games/Gamestop locations - they don’t update frequently enough. For certain stores like Circuit City, though, an in-store availability alert also means that their website is going to have stock.

3. Activate wireless alerts at iTrackr. If you’re going to try and get to a location, call ahead and check the alert is accurate. If you’re marginally less lazy than me, you can actually go to a location when you get an alert (but call ahead first to confirm). If not, just use it as an indicator of online availability.

There you go: these 3 easy steps will radically improve your chances of getting a Wii with very little effort. Happy hunting!
