Please keep in mind that stores like Best Buy don't necessarily put their systems out on the showroom floor right away (or ever). I have only hunted for a Wii once since launch (since I got mine at launch), and the experience was really easy. My friend and I walked into a Best Buy (the first store we checked out), asked if they had any Wiis, and were told they just got a shipment and all of the units were still in THE BACK. So they brought one from the back up to the register and he got a Wii.
