My parents have been looking for a Wii since the first of January. There are no stores around here that have them in stock. Apparently they are scarce again! And the prices of the used ones have sky-rocketed!

There are not scarce here. They are always on sale especially at our local Game Stop. Have you tried gaming stores? Also, try pawn shops or those rent to own stores; if you really want one you can certainly find one there, price pending.

I'm surprised to hear that they're scarce. And that's just a few months after the drop in price.

I think maybe they've received a boost in popularity because of the Wii Fit Plus?

Check costcos also. My local costco always seems to have plenty in stock - even when they were out of stock most places I usually saw them at costco

Maybe it's where they live, if it happens to be small, or where they are shopping, like a department store versus an electronics place. Have they called around? What are the stores saying?
Is it really you, George?

I have helped my mom look and there really are none around here. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Sam's, etc. None of the big stores have them. And I agree - it's probably due to inventory season.
