| At Nintendo World in Rockefeller Center. They get shipments of them everyday. I've walked in and walked out with one no problem. But sometimes you'll catch a bad day and they'll be out. In that case just try again the next day.

yeah Nintendo Store gets about 1000 a day from what I have heard.
The Toys R US in times square also gets big shipments on Monday. When I went to the Nintendo Store on the 4th they had 0. Went to Toys R Us in times square they had 15,000

Should I expect a line at 8AM on Saturday morning when they open the doors? |

Sounds like my son is getting an IOU in his Christmas stocking this year. I will go down anyway but I don't have the time to do an overnighter. |

At the Toys R Us in times square the day I got mine they litterally had them all lined up right next to the registers and as you go to the register you picked one up. and the pile was huge, when the pile emptied up they brought in a crap load more.

So the Nintendo store gets 1000 daily and you should wait in line the night before. Another bs story this sounds like. I bet the nintendo store gets maybe 100 a week if even that. |

Went to Nintendo World today. They get about 100 a day, and sell out by the time they open. You basically have to wait overnight. Toys R US is getting their shipment on Sunday, so that will sell out fast also. They did not say how many they will have. I am beginning to wonder if it is even worth stressing out in finding one. I played it at Nintendo World today and the controller is sweet. The system looks promising and actually looked good on their 480i tv. |

They don't ever have any pradin but if you go online you can get them from the nintendo online store.
Or you can wait for the 20th when the Mad Cats cables go on sale for 19.99

Well I will be leaving soon to wait on line by a Gamestop that is an hour away from my house. They are the only ones that told me they would have it today. Hopefully when I get there by 6:30am there won't be to many people waiting. They are suppose to open at 10am. I will let you know if I did receive one. |

I hope you had better luch than me. Best Buy had about 150 people waiting for 24 of them and Gamestop have 9 people waiting on 8. Toys r Us was just retarded and I did not even stop.
LOsErLuKiN, were you serious about camping out for me? |

I went to Gamestop on Court Street, well out of my way. They were the only Gamestop to give me information that they were getting a shipment. I was the third person online at 6:30am. I got so lucky as when the manager came she said their shipment was lost, and they only had 3! I was able to also pick up an extra nun chuck and Wii mote. I am digging Wii Sports a lot  . |
