Nintendo Wii Found At Pamida

Like many this season, I’ve been looking for the Nintendo Wii system at all of the big box stores but to no avail.  This was going to be the Christmas gift my wife and I were going to share in this year.  We received some nice accessory gifts like the Wii Fit, an extended battery and a couple of games.  We just needed the box to plug everything into.  Off from work for the holidays I was hoping I could get in a game of tennis right in the living room.  But no luck – until today!

My quick thinking wife said, “Why don’t you try the local Pamida store?” The do have some electronics and it was worth a shot.  An often overlooked destination for the main stream gadget shoppers, as they immediately gravitate toward the  Best Buy, Target, K-Mart and Circuit City stores to name a few.  Well low and frigging behold Pamida had them in stock!  The woman at the service desk mentioned they had received around 50 before Christmas and the stock-dude who brought mine to the register mentioned there were about eight units left.

Pamida has stores in 17 states, primarily the Mid-West and the Upper Plains.  So if you are still jonesin’ for your Wii, get thee to a Pamida – quick!

[editorial note:  I don't have a cat.  I don't even like cats.  But my four year old will probably look like this after playing it for the first time.]

    Hey Jaffer! Long time. Yes, it looks like it will be a long winter so we needed something to keep us occupied – since we don't have cable T.V. OR DSL – we decided to treat ourselves to a Wii. Also have the Wii Fit – which is a whole different bag of challenges!

    Happy New Year to you too! I will pass along your greeting to the wife and kid.

    [I got Twittered Out! It was a load of fun while it lasted, but one day I just quit cold turkey. Would rather communicate with folks in this manner - and use more than 140 characters!]

    Geakz, glad you found one. I had the exact same luck. A friend told me to try a little place called Game Crazy. Off the beaten path kind of place. Made a call, said they had one and to get my butt down there. They were only going to hold it for one hour for me. As for the hubs and me, we're very awesome at Wii Tennis, and I've just started exploring Wii Fit. I have a lot of work to do to reach my goal, but it's a load of fun and the best gift we got for ourselves this year.

    Happy new year, buddy! I miss you over at The Drawer.

    Hi Kathy and Happy New Year! I'm really digging the Wii thing. Good to know I have company now! The Wii Fit is awesome. I am already feeling the affects. Yoga will be a stretch for me – (Ha! no pun intended), but I'm geared up to give it a go and what better time to start my Wii Calendar than January 1st!
    I know, I've been lame on supporting my fellow bloggers. l will make it a point to get back on track soon! Thanks for stopping by again.
