Amazon sells out of Wii Fit preorders
It looks like the grim picture painted by Michael Pachter is coming true. Wii Fit fever has caught on, thanks in part to the software and Balance Board, as well as the mainstream media coverage and marketing push from Nintendo. Our advice? If you haven't planned on how you're going to get Wii Fit by now, there's a good chance you won't be able to nab one on release day.

I just ordered mine from walmart.com about 30 seconds before this showed up in my RSS reader. I'm way excited, and I'm glad I decided to bite the bullet instead of waiting.

IGN is reporting that gamespot is no longer taking pre orders either. I got mine a couple weeks ago, I thought this may happen.

Am I way out there or something, because this just not seem like a big "must have" game for me.

I am somewhat suprised with the scope of the appeal as well. However, my wife is 10x more excited about this than she has ever been about a video game though. I do not expect this to be a satisfying "gaming" experience as much as an interesting and entertaining piece of hardware/software.

I wasnt expecting to buy it either but the hype got the better of me...Plus having my $10 GC to walmart.com due to the Brawl screw up (Thanks wiifanboy!!) didnt hurt. And now I have another $10 GC to walmart.com for mario kart wii. Seemed wayyy too good to pass up!

Well, I'm glad I already pre-ordered it from Amazon. Wouldn't want to have to fight for it on launch or online.

I don't care I can't pre-order it from anywhere, I don't have the money for it right now. I can actually wait until I have money, and by then store will probably have it in stock. I don't see getting the money for it any time soon.
