After two whole weeks of searching, i finally found a wii for sale. I mean.... I bought one in late July! Nine whole months after it's launch! And still, it was nearly impossible to find!

I was in Miami, Florida on vacation with family and I called 23 stores there yet they told me they were all out! I tried Target, gamestop, walmart, best buy, toys r us....

Then we went back home to Toronto, Canada and the next day I resumed my search...Tried 19 stores there....Still Nothing!
Best buy, walmart, toys r us, future shop, eb games.... None!!!! Then followed dozens of disappointing hang ups and yells of frustrated employees saying: "no wii's!!!! Click! Beep....Beep....". Eventually, I found one at a best buy in town but it was used. Since my mom was paying, she told me there is no way she's spending over 200$ for a used one. "If i'm spending that much, it has to be brand new!"

Just when I lost hope, I noticed an ad in the paper on my table. Zellers!!!! That's it!!!! everyone forgets that Zellers sells videogames!!!!!!! I called a location and they told me they have around 20 in stock and they've been here for 3 days! My Mom flew to the place I called and came back with a Zellers bag and through it, I saw a white box with WII written in large grey letters on the box. Hurray!!!! My Mom was also generous enough to buy me an extra wiimote and wii play. i didn't sleep that night ....And thus concludes the story of how I got my very own Wii console.
