Hello.

I initially pre-ordered a Wii from Argos but cancelled it (big mistake!). It's been impossible to find one since launch, and everyone at work has been taunting me. Finally, I managed to snag one from Asda in Aintree, along with a copy of Wii Play. The Wiimote is surprisingly accurate, and while the graphics aren't as impressive as the 360's, the gameplay is fantastic. I can't wait to explore more games, so hit me up with recommendations!

I recently discussed the lack of retail web service APIs for major companies like Tesco, Dixon's, and HMV. I've since discovered an ASDA Soap API on maskell.uk.com. I'm impressed by this development, though I'm uncertain how it's implemented (possibly screen scraping). Check it out!

I'm exploring different web services, particularly for UK retailers like Tesco, Asda, or Virgin. I've tried Amazon's, which is decent, and Yahoo's, which I like. Ebay's looks interesting, but I'd rather not pay. I'm also looking at Alexa's and Google's. It's tough finding good resources on this, especially for UK retailers. I'd love to see APIs from companies like Tescos, Asda, Dixons, and others. If you know of any good web services, especially in the UK retail space, please share!
