Just got my txt message and there was no stock. But after refreshing for a few minutes there they were. Using a different method to track sometimes alerts come quicker than what is shown on the site… so continue to refresh for a few minutes.

I got my text alert and sure enough Amazon had Wii’s. There definitely weren’t that many available though… that is for sure. Hope all of you Wii seekers out there got one, if not, maybe we can help you get one next time around.

This morning both Sears and Circuit City had Wii’s in stock. No errors at all. And by the way, yesterday, Target also had a very limited number of Mega Mix Bundles. We can all expect that Sears inventory will continue to float in and out of stock the rest of the day, unless they decided to fix the site.

This deal has now EXPIRED.

Amazon Deal of the Day is MLB Power Pros for the Wii for only $19.99. This deal will only last today as it is the deal of the day. This is a saving of $20. Also, it is important to note that all Gold Box Lightning Deals today are going to be video games! The first deal goes off at 9:00 AM EST so be quick, depending on the quality of the deals, inventory may not last long!

Amazon did indeed have stock earlier for the $249.99 retail price. However, everyone needs to watch and check the price before you add to cart. It appears that Beach Audio has moved into regular add to cart position at the price of $375! Always check prices before adding to cart. My tracker says out of stock now; why, because I do price check before alerts go out. Here is the cache of the page whenever Amazon had stock available for $249.99:

It appears that Circuit City had some Wii Bundles available this morning, and I missed them as did some of the other trackers. Circuit City must have changed a piece of their site when stock becomes available. I run a double check system to ensure that alerts are accurate. The second check must have not matched, resulting in the failure to alert. Until I figure out exactly why I missed it, I am going to reduce the number of checks. As a result of this reduction in checks, I will be removing Circuit City from the mobile txt alert option in fear that there may be potential errors.  I will keep you posted on further developments.

I just received the txt message for Sears saying stock was available. It looks like it was an error presented from the wonderful Sears site. Here is what my spiders snagged just a few minutes ago:

Sorry for the confusion, but keep trying the page for a little while. They might just release them in the next few minutes, but I make no guarantees as always.

Yes, they do have stock available at Best Buy, but bundles only. I got a txt alert which notified me first. By receiving the txt alert, that meant that there was stock available for the Console Only. I ran to the site and sure enough only the Bundles were available. I checked my cache to make sure, and sure enough, there was a reason for the txt alerts to go out. Here is the cache snapshot of what my spiders saw for the Console Only page:

Sorry for the txt alerts for Console only seekers, but as you can see Best Buy was showing stock when I visited.

All others, hurry up and snag a bundle!

UPDATE:

I guess I was wrong about them not truly having consoles only. Dang it, I gotta learn to trust those spiders more. Glad some of you were able to score one!

I just got back from lunch, where I received my txt alert, and saw Amazon had stock. Unsure about this given the last episode with Amazon, I referred to the cache from my spider and sure enough, stock was available. Here is the cache snapshot:

As always, how many they had I am unsure of…

I just got my text that Sears has Wii’s In Stock; I tried to purchase and was denied during the checkout process. I would continue to attempt to make the transaction occur throughout the morning as when this occurs, it can be a sign of what is to come. This is what normally happens with Sears, and today is going to be no different I am sure. You may also want to try the Wii Bundle at Sears.
