upcdatabase.com — simply print the barcode and take it into your local walmart and ask an associate (in electronics) to scan it with the telzon, they can then tell you how many they will get, how many they have, and how many are in their warehouse.

There's probably an average number. Can someone post that?

Does anyone know what Walmats position is on getting one? While sitting in line at Toyrs R Us the guy behind me waited (I don't remember how long, but a VERY long time) for a 360 last year. Then right before they sold them they handed out numbered tickets to EVERYONE who was there. So after all that time he didn't get one. It didn't matter how long he waited it was just random.

dsthunder,the IN WHS doesn't show how many the warehouse has, its how many are at the warehouse slotted for your store. if you were to constantly scan an item, you'd see it go from ON ORDER -> IN WHS -> IN TRNST -> ON HAND. usually if its showing IN WHS, it'll come in 2-3 days.

So I just tried this at a Wal-Mart in Michigan, and the handheld PDA things came up with all 0's for inventory. It did come up with the price for the unit though.

I went and they said they had 0 in stock 0 in transit and 0 on order.Hmm..... Maybe this will have be tried later?

Take the barcode to your local Target and try it out. Chances are it will show zero (0) on hand and that's all they will be able to tell you. The computers at Target do not track how many items a store will receive, only how many that already have received.

While nobody was looking, Lex Luthor stole 40 Wiis. He stole fourty Wiis. Thats as many as 4 tens. And thats terrible.

walmart might be open 24hours... but there will be a line for when they can officially release the Wii. I think lines are unavoidable, unless you are lucky enough to have pre-ordered at Toys R Us this weekend. I work somewhere that will sell the Wii... we'll have at least 100 our first shipment, but plan on lining up myself at 2 in the afternoon the day before if I can. If it's anything like the 360, line up as early as possible! (Of course... what am I saying... don't do that, just stay at home so I have more of a chance)

forget the Wii. there will be plenty in the supply chain for everyone that wants one to get one.I want to also buy a PS3. Will Walmart be selling those? How are they going to handle they evolution? Should I just show up 24hrs prior to release?I heard the SonyStore will probably have a large number of PS3's. may try there also.

As said before Nintendo Wiis are not shipped on normal freight and therefore will not show up in the SMART system, so taking the UPC in the store makes you look like a f**king idiot. We already have the UPC there anyways. Wiis arrive via UPS or FedEx normally, only once they are checked in by a member of management they will show up in the inventory system on the Telxon/Gemini. Asking when other products will arrive will only further our discontent with you, the system only displays "In Transit" for items currently being shipped and does not provide a time or date, so don't ask. Only with a receiving printout/truck report can we obtain knowledge of items that will arrive on normal freight. Items listed as "In Stock" at walmart.com is likely inaccurate as it is updated every 24 hours the same as our remote inventory feature, so call before you come and complain like an assh**e. Walmart does not hold products for you, so if it's not there when you get there, too bad. Prices on walmart.com differ from in-store prices which many cannot understand for some reason, so do not fail to remember.

My Wal-Mart was out, but I was able to find a Wii console at <a class="user" href="http://wiiconsolesandmore.com.">http://wiiconsolesandmore.com.</a> They had plenty in stock and ready for shipping.
