We hear that Amazon will have Nintendo Wii in stock on October 31, 2007 at 1PM Eastern. We’re sure it will sell out very quickly so bookmark the link below and check it often.

Circuit City just informed us that they will have Nintendo Wii bundles available soon. Last we checked they just sold out of the last batch but we expect it to be in stock soon. This Wii bundle comes with the standard Wii Console (includes one controller and the Wii Sports game) plus another Wii remote, another Wii nunchuck and a choice of one more game. All this $249.99 plus free shipping. Sounds like a great deal for an incredibly fun product.

With Nintendo Wii mania in full force, we’ve looked around and we think that your best bet for finding one right now is at WalMart.com. While we’re not suggesting that you shouldn’t check other sources such as Amazon or Toys R’ Us, we’ve noticed that it’s reappeared at WalMart.com several times today.

Now, of course, there’s a catch. The product that’s available is a bundle of the Wii plus 8 games of your choice (includes Zelda, Cars, Madden, Need for Speed, Splinter Cell, and others) for $648.38. If you are interested, we recommend that you bookmark the link below.

Another eventful week passes and once again we find ourselves wiser because we now know the following:

• Your vote counts if you want an Xbox 360 for $100.
• You don’t have to stand in line all night for a Nintendo Wii… heck you don’t even have to pay for it.
• The name is Bond, James Bond and this is my Gear, Spy Gear.
• If you’re going to be stuck in an airport while traveling this week, might as well buy a good book.
• Send Thanksgiving flowers to someone special (just don’t tell them you got 15% off).

GameFly is online video game rental service (think Netflix for video games). You can read more about them in one of our previous posts. But anyway, let’s get to the real story. From now until 11/30/06, GameFly is giving away one Nintendo Wii every day to its members.

Here is how it works. If you’re not a member, sign up for their service. Once you are logged in, look for the “PLAY NOW” button and click on it, at which point you will be immediately notified whether you won or not. If you won — feel free to gloat. If you didn’t, just click again the next day and every other day until 11/30 to see if you won.

Give it a shot and maybe you’ll be a winner. And as always, please make sure you read all the term and conditions.

Amazon will have the Nintendo Wii available for purchase the morning of Saturday 11/19 for $250. You can only purchase one and inventory will disappear very quickly. In fact, request for availability notices were 100 more than the number of consoles they’ll have.

Even though the first batch will disappear quickly, expect more inventory to arrive soon. To make sure you don’t miss out on these opportunities, we’ve embedded an Amazon Nintendo Wii product page and store in this post and at https://shopperism.com/wii. Bookmark either of these links and check often to see if available (I’m guessing you better get used to constantly hitting the refresh button). If it appears quickly click the buy button and it will take you through Amazon’s purchase process.

You may have learned something (or nothing) from all those campaign ads on TV, but we learned quite a bit, like:

• Nintendo Wii fever is here so pre-order now.
• If iTunes offered free music and you didn’t know about it then is it really free?
• I have number one movie in all of US of A, now I put CD in cassette tape.
• You don’t have to scoop a robotic dog‘s poop.
• Holiday shopping season 2006 is on!

Here we go!

As the calendar moves from October to November, Walmart is expected to begin accepting pre-orders of Nintendo Wii (according to information provided to us by Walmart). Once released (scheduled for 11/19/06), the Wii will be one of the most desirable holiday gifts and will serve as a great alternative to the more expensive PS3 and XBox game consoles.

Update: Nothing up as of Midnight (EST); We’ll keep monitoring

Update 2: It’s there. $533 for console, controllers, and 4 games for delivery on or after 11/20.

Update 3: Sold out

Update 4: Keep checking because they reopened pre-orders several times during the day

Well, enough of the talk, here are the links:
