For anyone who hasn’t done the survey, the idea in question is a service for
your mobile device. You sign up and say “notify me if my mobile device gets
within X miles of a store which is selling set Y for Z dollars or less”.
Questions pertain to whether or not you’d pay for the service, want your
personal info available to the the stores, or whether you’d want to stay
anonymous, etc.
Personally, I’d try it out. If (say) Target decided to discount their Arkham
Asylum sets such that they were $5.00 apiece? Sure! Notify me! But if it happens
too much that I *get* to the store and the item they notified me about isn’t
there, I’d just stop using the service. If it’s really and truly based on stock
availability, I can imagine this would be a VERY sought-after service for
Christmas shopping in the US.
