UK Nintendo Wii - Now In Stock

Nov 19 - 8:33 PM

PC World Fixed & Better Updates - I have been somewhat neglecting the UK tracker so far this year, but since what was distracting me is complete, I can no focus a little more attention on this tracker. From now on I should have the UK tracker running full steam. I still need to go through and tweak some of the entries but for the most part they should be working well. As always, if you see errors, please let me know ASAP!

Sears and their Site Errors - Yes, Sears has a horrible inventory system. I know this, but my hands are pretty much tied. I can either delete it and stop checking for in stock availability or we can all deal with the errors that their site provides. I have chosen the later of the two. If the errors are driving you crazy, I would suggest that you just unsubscribe from the Sears alert and wait for one of the other stores to receive stock. I know it can be really disheartening, but those are the only options we have available.

Sorry for all your frustrations,
Justin

Toys R Us Listings Updated - It appears that the Wii Bundles at TRU were out of date so I updated them in order to reflect the new bundles they are now offering.

To check that you are subscribed to them, click here and then enter your email address. On the next screen you will see a drop down. If the bundles are listed in the drop down, then you are already subscribed. If not, click here and check the boxes to the ones you want to subscribe to and follow the instructions in the verification email. Since I replaced the older ones that were already there, you might already be subscribed so it is wise to check first.

Black XBox 360 Elite Confirmed - It has now been confirmed by Microsoft that the XBOX 360 Elite will be rearing its head in stores on April 29th. As mentioned prior, the unit will have a 120 GB hard drive, HDMI port and wireless controller. In the next day or two, I will be adding it to the list of items being tracked so we will all be able to know exactly where to get those preorders!

New Black XBox 360 Solidifying - As reported from different sources, a new black version of the Xbox 360 is supposedly to rear its head in the near future. The key features to this new model are the addition of a bigger hard drive of 120 GB as well as the addition of an HDMI port.

The big disappointments to me are the lack of built-in wireless connection and the lack of an HD-DVD player. These two features are essential in my eyes, with wireless networking being most important. I currently do not own a 360, but if this model, in the end, includes wireless connectivity I may buy one.

The HD-DVD drive not being included because of the lack of the format being not proven in the marketplace is kind of bogus statement. I can almost guarantee that if you charted out a comparision between the PS3 release over the Blu-ray becoming the front-runner in the format wars, you would see a direct correlation between the two. To say that HD-DVD is not proven is because it was not given the proper chance. Would including the HD-DVD shift the future of either formats? Probably not, but I would at least be more apt to buying a new Black 360!

Just a few of my thoughts. To read more head over to Gamespot.

And for those of you who will want the new system or even the hard drive upgrade… YES, I will be tracking them both here at NowInStock.net.

Site is Back Up and Runnning! - I had some moderate issues with the DB the last two days. Was killing the site, but I have now fixed it. Everything should be running smoothly again, and the checking scripts should be kicking off very soon. Durring the first few runs of the script, it will probably bog down the server a little, so just hang in there. Sorry for the inconvience, but Sundays are usually dead anyway.

sendit.com now being tracked! - I have now added sendit.com to the sites being tracked. They have the Wii Console up for sale. In order to receive alerts for this item, you will need to subscribe to it. Just head in to the email alerts, select the check box next to it, enter your email address and click subscribe.

eBuyer - This weekend eBuyer is having a Wii extravaganza! There will be Wii Bundles available on both Saturday and Sunday. What I am doing is replacing the Ultimate Bundle with the Saturday Bundle, and then on Sunday I will replace the Saturday Bundle with the Sunday Bundle. This way you only have to subscribe to the one item. Also, if you were already subscribed to the Ultimate Bundle you will not have to do anything more, because you are already subscribed. Good luck to all!!!

Play.com - Well, it appears that Play.com's inventory system doesn't work too well. All orders placed earlier this morning will be booked as preorders as two users have informed me. Their inventory must not be too good at handling preorders or at least doesn't auto-allocate the inventory whenever it comes into the system. Hence, why we all saw that the page read "In stock. Usually dispatched within 24 hours."

They have yet to fulfill their preorder inventories from before, so if you keep the order, you may be waiting a while. What I would do is keep the order and still try and get another one from Woolworth's who seems to be getting them in weekly. If you are unable to get one from another place in the interim, then you will at least have Play as a backup. That is unless they decide to charge you before the product ships.

Buzzzzzz! Wake up UK! Play.com has the Wii Console in stock! - Boy, it sure was nice of Play to release them in the middle of the night while you guys were sleeping over there.
