Circuit City has updated their website and as a result I am now able to track Guitar Hero 3 for the Wii. Sign up for alerts under the Wii Accessories Tracker in order to receive alerts as to when they come back in stock. I will try to monitor this one as closely as possible to ensure errors, if any, are limited. I am a little skeptical as a result of the way the CC site was displaying them in stock previously.

This evening I may add a full Guitar Hero 3 Tracker to the site. If I do, I will update the Wii Alerts so they appear under this tracker instead. If you already subscribe to receive alerts on GH3 for Wii, there will be NO need to sign up again. The alerts will still function as normal. If anybody else notices stock deficiencies in other platforms, Xbox 360 or PS3, please let me know. As a matter of a fact if there are any other products you want tracked send them in and I will see what I can do!

I have added the Guitar Hero 3 Bundle for the Nintendo Wii to the Wii Accessories tracker. This will enable you to sign up for in stock email alerts for this bundle. Currently I am tracking Amazon and Gamestop. I will add more as we go, but for now these are the only ones being tracked.

I tried to add Circuit City, but it appears they have adjusted their system and are showing it in stock where I normally check. However, whenever you go through the checkout process it is clear that they do not have it available online. If I am able to figure this out, I will go forth with adding it to the list of stores being tracked for the Guitar Hero 3 Bundle.

All, sorry about the errors this morning on Sears price. I made a few adjustments last night and now have fixed the issue. While the stock status of Sears will continue to be an issue because of their site displaying incorrect inventory status, the pricing is fixed. I am sure quite a few of you were a little shocked by the price sent in the email. I trap the stock status as well as the prices and sometimes when sites make adjustments the price has the potential to get messed up. We should be good from here on out.

As Best Buy preps for the holidays, so does NowInStock.net. I just added the 3 bundles they have on the site. These new bundles are not overly priced like we saw last year from a lot of retailers. Here is what the following bundles include:

• Starter Bundle – Console, Wii Play w/Remote, Mario Party 8, Extra Nunchuk, and My Mii Manager
• Nintendo Fan Bundle – Console, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Extra Remote Controller
• Sports Bundle – Console, Madden NFL 08, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08, Extra Remote Controller

To be notified as soon as they come in stock, visit the Wii Tracker page and subscribe to the email alerts. The links will lead you to the Games & Toys page, from there just go to the top right Games & Toys link and select Wii from the drop-down menu.

This year, Microsoft has pulled some stops and is now releasing bundles for the holiday season. These new bundles will consist of two full, free games including Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. This should aid in swaying some customers in their direction, however with the Wii still doing some pretty good domination this entire year, it will still be an interesting season to see who comes out on top. The premium console will be priced at $350 and the Elite system will be $450.

This evening I read over at Mashable about a new phone that Verizon is bringing out called Voyager from LG. They state that an executive at Verizon was calling it the “iPhone killer.” Now, what executive would say that other than the man in charge of these new devices. Obviously there are people leaving Verizon for the iPhone at AT&T. In fact, my friend Rob Schultz just split Verizon a month ago so he could acquire the iPhone. Granted he is a Mac geek, but at least I get to see and play with the iPhone. Thanks Rob!

And that brings me to my next question about this so-called Voyager (pictured on far right). Does it have a full-fledged browser like the iPhone’s Safari? This is by far the best thing about the iPhone from experience with the device. Granted the network sucks under AT&T, but it is almost bearable given the end experience. Still not worth the bucks or dropped calls, but get it on Verizon and I would already own one. If the Voyager lacks this one simple feature, it is already dead. There are already plenty of devices on the market for email, music, and other crap. We need mobile web browsing and the iPhone does it very well even with lackluster data connections.

A Few Side Notes:

• The best thing I have seen since the release of the iPhone is the Blackberry Curve over on T-Mobile. Wi-Fi and mobile calling! That is what I like to hear.
• Also, I can’t wait till next year whenever Sprint releases it’s WiMax network called Xohm. 4Mb data streams over a 10 mile radius.
• What about Google and their soon bid on the 700 MHz spectrum? This is my most highly anticipated event. Will they make a bid?

Mobile is hot on both the device and service ends. Until both ends improve, mobile = phone calls & texting… nothing else.

The crimson/black, two-tone DS Lite that was previously available on through the Brain Age 2 Bundle, is now available for purchase unbundled. The units are already available on Amazon for the standard $129. To me this unit looks really slick compared to all of the other colors. It looks more professional and non-toy like.

Yes, you heard it correctly, Nintendo has decided they need to take one more step to further ensure that Wii Remote doesn’t fly out of your hand. Costing Nintendo a reported $18 Million dollars to ship these silicon jackets to all current Wii owners; I find this a small price to pay for potential future lawsuits. The “jacket”, as it is called, will aid people in keeping that slippery Wii Remote from flying out of your pizza-grease ladened hands and smashing your television or cracking someone in the head.

Order your free Wii Remote “Jackets” now before the rush begins. The jackets have already begun shipping in the latest hardware shipments, so some you may never even need to worry about this.

After failing straps at the initial release, Nintendo has taken it one step further with this move and shows what class they really do have.

I was just getting ready to head to bed this evening, closing out my IE whenever I jumped over to Amazon to check a link. To my surprise I noticed a new user interface sitting there waiting for me. I jumped back over to Firefox, seeing as how earlier today I was on and didn’t notice anything new. Sure enough Firefox still remains the same even after a forced refresh (Ctrl + F5). Here is a screen grab:

Santa, if you want a Wii for Christmas, I suggest you sign up for Wii alerts right now. There is no way Santa Claus will be able to deliver Wii orders unless you get in line early!
