[quote name='Wolfpup']The inventory checker claimed I only had a single Wal Mart within 100 miles of me, so at least for me it was totally broken :lol: I think I'm just going to stop by after work. (Really should have checked Best Buy this week, but oh well.)[/QUOTE]Whoops. Maybe their zip code lookup for your zip code is broken, though when I put in my zip code, it came up with a number of stores nearby, and the one mentioned above is about 5 miles from my house. So, for me, yes, it's working OK.
[quote name='integralsmatic']i dunno shrike, I just checked their closest available and it still says the same store which is 23 miles away from me even though the one closest to me had 4 copies unless there is a different inventory checker compared to closest store available.
I just got back from my locale wallmart which was 4-6 miles away from me, and they had it. I called them before but they didn't have any in stock at the time..and this was about an hour ago. But I decided what the hey, Ill just check to see if its there. maybe the employee didnt hear me right about the game. So i went and I saw 4 copies there in the case. The employee recognized that i was the caller and he said that even if you call at the time, it might not be on the floor. But an hour later it could appear on the floor meaning they didn't get around to putting the item out yet.
So dont call, just go. Its basically a rolling inventory where they stock stuff every hour.[/QUOTE]I know Best Buy's inventory checker for in-store pickups marks items as not being available for in-store pickup when there's 0 - 2 items on-hand. Maybe Walmart's cuts off at 0 - 4 items on-hand, which is how you found it when the website said it wasn't in-stock.
Damned if I know, though with the inventory amounts that Walmart deals with on a daily basis, I'd like to think they had their inventory control under wraps.
