As read above, I used wiialerts and it worked like a charm within a week. At first I actually did not sign up for the text alerts, but after missing three emails send to my computer while I was up walking around, I decided to give it a shot. Another friend of mine used wiialerts after I did, and he scored a new Wii as well. wiialerts is shooting 100% from the field with people I know.

Plus I signed up for wiitracker's RSS feed and it never actually fed me anything. As for the UI, wiialerts was nearly idiot proof to setup the notifications and I'm a card carrying idiot.
