How can someone buy a Wii console at suggested retail price?
Think of the Wii as a table at an exclusive restaurant – they’re always booked, so you need to be the one to do the booking way in advance. Different stores get different shipments at different times, so you need to call around and find out when the next planned shipments are. Target has been a favorite of mine for this reason – if I just happen to be in the store on the day of the shipment, there will be Wiis right there in the display cases. So call ahead every retailer within a 5 – 10 mile radius of yourself, and everyone will be out of stock. Ask when they get shipments from Nintendo/for electronics and then call them early that morning. Then Run, Lola, Run! You can also try a website like http://wii.findnearby.net/ .
