So! You’ve heard about Wiis



and you want a Wii and you crave a Wii and yet….you just can’t find the darn Wii!
But not to fear! Thanks to Tekeeze, there are several tricks you can use to better your chances. To wit:
…
Use a Wii tracker. Websites like WiiTracker, Outastock, and Weebly track inventories at hundreds of retailers, such as Circuit City, WalMart, and Dell, and post notices as soon as new Nintendo Wiis become available at any of them.
Get cozy with store owners. Once they trust you, they’ll tell you when new shipments are expected in. I suggest subtle flattery, and bribes if you’re feeling confident. Also, check out smaller, less popular stores. There’s a lot more competition to find a Wii at Wal-Mart than at Randy’s Video Game Shack….MORE….
I’d also like to add, you can post at your local Freecycle.org in the off-chance your millionaire neighbors are cleaning their house and want to reduce their clutter.
And don’t forget the Wii Finder Widget! Add it to your MacOS dashboard.

Some of the comments made by the fitness “instructor” or the animated Wii board could be more positive, especially when you dont do so well. Variety of ways to mix up your workout.
