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.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-06-03 Summary: This is more of a workout than you think! … I am always a little skeptical about workout games but with this one you definitely feel it in the morning. You workout at your own rate and goals. The interactive part keeps you entertained so it doesn’t really seem like you are always working out. The worse part of this game/workout is that you don’t realize how much time really goes by and you can end up playing for several hours. I would recommend if your tired of the same old workout routines!! …more
