Well, I'm not looking for one really. The company I ordered one from (a bundle actually, which includes an extra controller and 2 games) hasn't found much for Canadians. Can't blame them though... Nintendo is at fault.

This same company managed to secure a whole bunch of wiis (about $135K worth) for their US members pretty quick (like within 2 months), so I'm sure they will secure some for Canadian members once they can. I got my ps3 to play with in the meantime, so I'm fine.

Man this is an awesome service. I have been looking for a Wii for a long time and was getting frustrated going into the store only to say they still don't have any. I will keep this website handy and let you know if I get one. Thanks for creating this site for Canadians, I know we sometimes get left out on things like this.

I've heard talk about April too. Evidently, nintendo will start getting them out in serious volume in NA very soon.

Hey, in the meantime, you can always sign up for nintendo's new canadian contest (finally, a contest for canada.. about bloody time) .. artofwii.com i think

Just wanted to mention that this is how I got my Wii. If it weren't for this service I never would have found one. Highly recommended!

Any way to make the notification email also tell you which store has it in stock? I think that would be helpfull

This has come up a couple times - basically the short answer is that we've been looking at finding a way to display some "last in stock at store: x" info on the site, but we probably won't be adding it to the e-mails.

Unfortunately our team has all been really busy lately with our day jobs and this hasn't been implemented yet.

With Wii shortages not predicted to end anytime soon, though, it looks like we'd better find some time!

Hey guys. I just want to say the site was instrumental in me getting my Wii. Thanks. Are you going to offer an Xbox 360 Elite option to Console Watch? All the major online retailers have zero units for a few days now and I'm wondering if supply is going to be limited.

Thanks again.

I can see this being helpful. I really never plan on purchasing anything from cosco, Only Futureshop/Bestbuy.

Kenton · 26-04-2007, 02:52 PM

I recommend Amazon and The Source personally. Cheaper shipping.

shtuug · 26-04-2007, 02:56 PM

The problem with the Source is that the last couple of times they had them in stock, they were package deals. You don't really save all that much if any and if you don't want the included game or memory card or whatever, then it isn't as good a deal.
