John Lewis

[Boot]

I spoke to a John Lewis sales person on Monday, she told me that the partnership had ordered 4000 Wii's but Nintendo wont tell them when they will be delivered.

I realise this doesn't help people get one but I though it was interesting.

Of course it doesn't tell us if they're going to get them all in one go or in small numbers either.

If you have Linux, you can use this little script I made to check John Lewis stock (every 45 seconds).

I was going to add more stores, but have no need now as I got a Wii from Comet last night. :D


#!/bin/bash
while [ 1 = 1 ]; do
when=`date +%H:%M:%S`
status=`wget -q http://www.johnlewis.com/Computing/Gaming/Gaming/Consoles/4988/230407665/Product.aspx -O - | grep lblSKUAvailability | awk -F\> '{print $2}' | awk -F\< '{print $1}'`
echo "$when - John Lewis : $status"
sleep 45
done;
