It appears that GameStop has a couple of Wii bundles available, shipping on November 17. I hope that this might be of some help for those still trying to get one. Anyone try to order on Amazon, and get lucky, today?

I managed to get a Wii a few weeks ago by going to Target right at 8 AM on a Friday morning.
I've been to Target several times for various reasons right when they open and I've seen Wiis at least 4 out of 5 times. This last time I finally had the money to do something about it.
Anyway, I'd recommend this route if you have one nearby or on the way to work or something.

Thanks for posting those, CreatureX! Originally, I wasn't planning on picking up the Wii Zapper, however, they have added Link's Crossbow Training to it, and with the price being $19.99, it is a no-brainer!

Graphics wise?

Not talked about much, but we are getting an awesome strategy RPG next week.
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn is hardly a standard Wii experience, but for an obvious GameCube game quickly moved over to the Wii it sounds great.
IGN gave it an 8.0

Quick question, is it really important to eject a game when the system is not in use? Ive been leaving my in there but since its vertical, maybe its critical to leave the system empty when not in use?

I played Manhunt 2 for about an hour and forty minutes last night and got to the third level. I'm really liking it thus far, although I'm stuck and a little pissed off at some of the glitches I've noticed. However, it's a lot of fun, even if it isn't perfect.

What do those of you who frequent this thread feel about Need for Speed: Pro-Street for Wii? I'm looking to pick up my first racing game for Wii, and I've been thinking about this game. The footage I've seen looks great, and I know that they have been working hard to implement a new engine for the Wii Remote. Are others here interested?

That, coupled with the fact that there is now damage and you can total your car, makes it a pain in the ass to play. I was looking forward to playing one of the versions, but I don't know if I'll even bother renting it now.
I would like to know what others think.
Also, is there a racing game out, already, that you would recommend for Wii?

A friend of mine bought Carbon for his Wii and he told me he really liked it. I liked the PS3 version when I beat it (so much so that I beat it in two nights,) so I'd recommend picking up a cheap copy of that. Also, Excite Truck is quite a bit of fun.

I may have to rent Carbon, to see how I like it. I appreciate the suggestions!

Sorry, don't really feel like fishing through the whole GH3 thread, but any idea when we could expect a stand alone guitar to buy?

I couldn't wait though, so I bought 2 sets and sold the game alone sealed for $50 on Amazon.
