I bought my Wii in August 2007. Hid it until Christmas. Ecstatic children and husband!
BTW, it developed a problem a few months ago where it kept saying it couldn't read the disk. I contacted Nintendo. They paid for shipping to the repair shop, repaired it under warranty, paid for shipping back to us, and then extended the warranty for a year from the date of repair. All I had to do was package it safely and drop it with my mail room for the shipper to pick up. I had it back in a week.
Last spring I saw some Wiis sit in a Target store for almost a week. Longest I've ever seen them anywhere.
How I scored my Wii was to pick up a Sunday paper on Saturday. It had the Sunday ads, and the stores that had a new shipment in would advertise it, of course. Had to go to the Circuit City and wait in line 40 minutes before the store opened, but it was the best gift ever.
