Okay, so early this morning I noticed that Walmart had switched to “Preorders”, even though their site continued to say “In Stock”. I fixed my checks to take this into consideration and to show that the unit was indeed a Preorder on my end. This afternoon at 4:00 EST I got the alert saying the Wii bundle was “In Stock”. Sure enough, I click the link to see this:

So why did my alert go off as “In Stock” if Preorder is on the site? This is exactly why I save a snapshot of the page when I spider. I check my spiders cache; and sure enough here is what was displayed to my spider:

There is NO preorder mention anywhere! This why you received an alert. Please check all Walmart notices to see whether it says Preorder or not before buying. If this continues, in other words happens once more, Walmart is getting removed from the tracker entirely.
