Does anyone know if EB stores may still have pre-orders available or did they all stop doing them? Are the pre-orders store-by-store or company wide?

CALL and ASK.

I'll stop by the downtown one, but for some releases (like the warcraft expansion pre-order) all the stores stopped selling them at the same time.

from the official EB Game Wii website:

Update:
Due to high demand and limited quantities, our North American in-store and online pre-orders for the Nintendo Wii have ended. Check back soon for future ordering opportunities.

I tend to believe your version more, as 60 bucks is almost too good to be true as a savings on a launch console.

I'm sure he probably misread the ad. Can anyone confirm?

Still the best deal I've heard of, but there are no Meijer's within rational driving distance from me.

I've never heard of Meijer's (how do you even say that?) guess that means there are none by me.

It is pronounced 'My-err' (kind of how it looks ;) )... and no, they are a mid-west only company.

That Meijer deal totally just made my night. I was already planning on doing a midnight buy of it, so this just sweetens the pot!!!

Okay, it's out in 6 days, does anyone know when the other online stores will be taking preorders? I know walmart, gamestop and amazon have already done them, but what about the others?
I'm trying to think of all the places that havent sold them online yet. So far I have:

Circuit City
Best Buy
Buy.com
Toysrus
Target.com
Sears
compusa


What stores am I missing?
Also my local best buy is getting 93 Wii's!!!

EXPLAIN!

So are they really going to wait until launch to start selling accessories? I don't see the point in that. I'd really like to get component cables ASAP.

Amazon is killing me by telling me that it could be shipped between Nov.11-Nov 18, I keep checking my email constantly, waiting for a shipping notification.

If it doesn't get shipped by Wednesday, I think I'm heading to Meijer. But I'm wondering what ad people saw this deal in. The ones I have are the same on their website, and none of them mention that deal.

I was at my local Sam's Club today, and asked if they would have the Wii on Sunday. The employee said yes, but they were only going to have 5 of them. He also said one of the employees is already planning on camping for it. Since I'm not a business member, I'm almost certain there won't be any left by the time I can get in. Oh well, I guess I'll just try my 24 hour Walmart.

Thanks, says my local BB and WM getting 53 each (unconfirmed) with the Target getting a confirmed 24. Looks like a midnight WM with a 9am BB for me.
