[quote name='daminion']There was discussion of this over in the Wii Reseller's thread on SD. I take a look in there for laughs on occasion. Apparently several stores are getting them in and putting them out, not waiting for ads.
For the bashers -- it's a deal if you are still looking for a Wii. Buying at retail is far better than buying at retail x 1.5. It's also not a regional deal, several locations have been confirmed across the country.[/quote]
Best Buy only holds them if they are in the upcoming ad, otherwise there is no obligation for them to hold them. They can put them on the floor once they receive them, but the crappy thing is Best Buy actually doesn't sell all of them because they actually hold some for customer exchanges too for people who bought a PSP on their Wii and need to exchange their broken ones. Wii was listed in the systems at stores all around CA about 3 days ago, but there are only two main warehouses in CA, so every Best Buy receives their truck at different times pretty much.
