We're trying to find one right now
Duncan was allowed to allocate all of the unsorted change on the kitchen desk towards a Wii. He's got about $340 now...
We're finding that a Wii is rarer around here than sense in the Administration, though. There happens to be a GameStop down the road that appears to have 3 in the window, however. He plans on being there when they open tomorrow (we nixed camping out...).
BestBuy is still getting line-ups when they advertise a shipment.

The only ones I've seen are at Amazon.
For $600 and up from various shops that claim to have it in stock. I'm sure there are some on eBay too, for similarly inflated prices.
My guess is they won't be "easily" available until after XMas.
Luck!
Cheers,
Scott.

We saw those too.
More money than sense if you buy one of them.
We spoke to a guy at Best Buy who thought that Nintendo in general liked to send out very large shipments a few weeks before Christmas. They're getting 50, 60 at a time, but then have to hold them for the weekends and the sales circulars.

Not an option when you're 12 years old
We're giving him a modicum of support; ie. yes, we'll drive you to a store if you find it, but you're not camping out.

Part of growing up is having ones hopes crushed.
I still remember wanting a 50 cc Honda motorbike for Christmas...

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow
