Wii Bound

My husband and I have never been into gaming. In fact 4 years ago I bought a PS2, we played it maybe a dozen times and it has since been collecting dust. Our dear friends invited us over the day after Christmas, they bought there children a Wii and let us have a go at the bowling game. After my first roll down the lane I knew we were Wii Bound. I now covet the Wii and all those lucky enough to have beat the system and purchased one of these elusive things. My daughter has since asked for one for her Birthday (February 9th). I have been searching for a week now and nothing. I feel like I am on a mission to capture a mythical creature. Why such a shortage? I understand the Christmas rush and all but why now?

Once again you and I are kept apart, oh sweet funtastic Wii. The hunt continues!
