I would preorder it, if I could get my damn $50GC's from best buy from the HDDVD players.....

It has been 7 weeks, and they want me to wait another. Damn it man.

They are doing pre-orders everywhere

And thanks for the tip on Blockbuster, they didn't have any, but Hollywood video did!

I had it preordered at Amazon, realized that I'd probably use it once, and then throw it in the closet. Cancelled my preorder. I might get it when it comes down in price, but I go to the gym regularly anyway...

The guy I pre-ordered them from said they were coming on on the 19th. I am confused, because Amazon says its may 21st.

I delivered Wii Fit to the local Best Buy today. They received systems and wii motes along with Wii Fit.

Some of the boxes were marked "White System w/ Sports Jacket". Any ideas?

Pre-ordered from gamestop a while back and realized on the reciept it said "2nd Shipment". I don't mind, but I wish the GS clerk would have atleast filled me on that little tidbit.

Anyone know how well the Wii Ski game or whatever works with the Wii Fit? The game is 29.99, thinking about picking it up.

Based purely on the trailer I saw, it appears you can use it like you would in Wii Fit.

So has the Wii Fit shipped? Someone posted here that they were delivering the Wii Fit to best buy.

And the guy at the hollywood video explicity told me that he knew about the may 21st Date, but that they will have them for us May 19th.

I'd imagine not. I'm sure it varies from store to store, but yesterday I was in my local Gamestop and the UPS guy came in with piles and piles and piles of Wii Fit boxes.
