I didn’t count, but there had to be over 30 of those little buggers in that stack and on a table a few isles over.

Whoda thunk it would take 2+ years to find this guy in stock on some random afternoon? Speaking of, maybe I should play mine sometime…

Yes, MrAwes0me has found himself a Wii. <Wait for applause>

They say good things come to people who wait, but they also come to people who impatiently hit the refresh button on Amazon.com instead of working after lunch. Thanks to several Wii tracking sites, I was able to land me a console within the 8 minute window that Amazon had them available from 1:33pm-1:41pm CST. Here are the sites I used:

  • WiiAlerts.com – Txt messaging and email notification. The txt message from this site got me the Wii.
  • NowInStock.net – Txt messaging & email notification. Good site, however unable to handle the network traffic when an alert is sent out (see Part II).
  • WiiTracker.com – Nice history log of Wii availability. This helped form my strategy.

So, looking back on my goals I would say this hunt was a success. It took me less than a week with minimal effort to purchase a console at market price. I didn’t have to make dozens of calls, nor drive all around town, nor wait in line for hours on Sunday morning. Just had to sign up on a few sites, surf the web a bit, and make half dozen calls to local merchants.

High-fives to all, and to all a good night!!!
