Interesting story on Digg. Aparently, if you print out and take the barcode for the PS3 or the Wii to Walmart (and other stores I would suppose) and have them scanned, the system should tell you how many unitis the store has received/is expected to receive. Check out the story on Digg.

UPDATE - It’s still up. But, me thinks it’s been up too long to be legit, probably an error. I’ll keep watching it.
Tiger Direct is listing them as avail. It’s been up for over an hour so who knows if it’s a glitch or they still have them.

TMX flew off the shelves today at Toys R Us stores across the US. Reports from shoppers seem to have about 80-200 TMX’s per store and in almost every case they sold out with in minutes of the store opening up. There is some encouraging news as there reports of Toys R Us
store managers expecting a decent supply of TMX Elmo to come in the following weeks.

The order page is still up. That makes at least 5 hours by my estimate. Odds are this is a big mistake and many many people are going to be getting cancellation emails. Reports from people Calling Tiger Direct are supporting both the “oops, didn’t mean for that to be up” theory. But, there remains the outside chance that this presale, or at least part of it, is legitimate. Stay tuned…..

Reports show most Toys R Us stores received authorization for 5-6 PS3 pre orders. If you didn’t camp out Saturday Night (October 28th) then don’t bother this round. As for the Wii, it appears 15-20 per store but it most cases those are going to be claimed by overnighters as well. I’m going to post a list of some of the places that may be taking online preorders in the near future.

If you are in a time zone where you can still get to a Toys R Us before it opens today (Sunday 29th of Oct) you probably have a decent chance of getting at TMX Elmo as reports have most stores getting 80-100 of the little guys.
