Additional Comments: I have been trying to get one since they came out. I know I can get one on e-bay if I want to pay a ridiculous price; but I guess I will keep trying to get one locally.

Have one, work at a store that sells them. There will be some out on Sunday the 20th, get in line before the store opens.

I got mine from Game Stop as soon as it came in ($90). My kids thought I was getting it for them, but it's really for me. I've enjoyed it.

That's a bummer because I just had a heck of a time finding a Wii console and saw the Wii Fit wherever we went to look for the Wii console. I refused to pay more than regular price for the console but I finally found it online at toysrus.com for regular price. All the other online retailers had inflated prices.
Have you tried these stores (these are where I saw the Wii Fit): Target, WalMart, ToysRUs, BestBuy and GameStop? I found out that BestBuy and ToysRUs usually un-box and put out their new Wii shipments on Sundays so if you get there before opening you have a good chance.
Isn't it nuts how hard it is to find this stuff?
Good luck with your search!

The only one that I haven't checked is Toys R Us. So I will have to do that today. I think Target does the same thing on Sundays as the other two you mentioned. We have four drivers in the family so I think we are going to divide and hopefully conquer Sunday morning. Thanks for your suggestions.

I want one too but will not pay the inflated prices on EBay or elsewhere. My cousin is a manager of a video store and said as soon as she gets one in she's going to put it aside for me. Other than that, I haven't seen one anywhere around here.

I do not own one but I did see it at a Target the other night.
