Toys R Us getting big Wii shipment Sunday

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii, Business

Admittedly, it's absurd we're doing a post like this a year and a half after launch, but there's going to be a big Wii shipment at Toys R Us this Sunday. Just in case Wii Fit does cause another sustained Wii shortage, if you're planning on getting the console in the next six months, it's best to get one while the gettin' is good.

To guarantee a Wii this Sunday at Toys R Us, customers need to stop by their local store and put down a $200 deposit. The five stores we called were accepting pre-orders for about 50 systems. Meanwhile, two of the stores asked why we wanted the pre-order details when they have them in stock?

And half of them will go to scalpers and be on ebay for 450-600 dollaers the next day.
