I don't see any other option though then to show up at 7 am tomorrow and hope for the best. There are three gamestops close to where I am so I should be able to hit all three of them. One of them is in the mall so I'm banking that they would be the ones most likely to have received more Wii's or to have put a few away for Black Friday.

I worked at a Gamestop (EB now = Gamestop) for two years. They will hold Wii's in the back room for a week if it means that they can get after Thanksgiving sales out that will stimulate add-on purchases (Multiple Sale Transaction - MST - is a popular bragging point for retailers).

So good luck. I can't guarantee anything but I'll call my old manager and see if he's been instructed to hide anything in his back room tomorrow. I'll let you know. It might not apply nationally, but it has a good chance to be a chain-wide mandate.
