  1. Yay! Got out of the shower and checked here to find out that Best Buy's sale is up online :) I only really needed one thing (Polaroid POGO printer for $19.99 -$50 reg price) and I didn't know whether or not Walmart would have it in stock to price match but free shipping @ best buy means my wife gets her gift delivered to the door :D
  2. If you weren't able to get the dsi or dsi xl yesterday, amazon has a better deal with the a green or orange bundle that can be pre-ordered NOW and will go live friday also according to amazon's site. Those bundles are $149.99 including Mario Party DS AND a $25 gaming credit towards any physical game from amazon's video game store. (see below).

    Basically, you're paying $99.99 for the Dsi, ~$25 for Mario Party DS and $25 towards an additional game (or games depending on price) you'll get later!

     

    That has to be the best deal out there for the Dsi bundle of any sort!

     

    $25 Bonus

    Order this game and receive a $25 promotional credit toward the purchase of any physical item from the Amazon Video Games store (digital products not eligible) shipped and sold by Amazon.com. The promotional credit will be added directly to your Amazon.com account within two days after your order ships. This offer will be extended to all existing pre-orders. Offer valid when shipped and sold by Amazon.com. Limit one per household. Amazon reserves the right to change or terminate this promotion at any time

     

    Pre-order to not miss out and get the price-guarantee. ORANGE LINK

  3. BestBuy link didn't work but I looked up sku 1287391 based on link.

     

    They are similarly spec'd and the base price is the same (I think it may in fact be the same laptop, just different model # because one is staples and one is best buy) so I would go with the staples model that is currently $479 after rebate. The best buy model is still $749.

     

    So long as they don't end up modeling 1,000+ part items in class, it should be sufficient. I would personally prefer a better graphics card (as the one in both is just integrated Intel HD) but it would suffice 95% of the time. The rest of the time, it might lag for a little bit while it is processing the information (not likely due to the high school courses) but it will get the job done.

     

    If you are worried about it and would prefer something with a graphics card (and assuming the $750 area is in your price range) the other staples deal is pretty good.

    It has a mid range mobile graphics card and the Phenom triple-core processor is rated higher than the other lappie's Corei3-370, it comes with a 9-cell battery vs the 6-cells and has a blu-ray rom

  4. I wish they would do that around here...(or atleast write them up or something). I actually had a price change team lady start grabbing all of the 4 packs of princess lip gloss off the shelf awhile back when she saw that I had started taking them (using them as party favors, which is why I needed so many) and she kept saying to the team worker next to her.." I need to go on break, I need to go on break right now"....seriously, it was ONLY lipgloss, and this lady was knocking me over for them during her shift. @@

    I used to work at Target and it was company policy at the time (same with JCPenney) that a Cast Member (employee) was not allowed to purchase or hold (out of the public's sight) an item and purchase it during their shift...including breaks. They were allowed to during lunch and before/after your scheduled hours. If they wanted to hold something for themselves, they had to have someone else hold it for them at a register where the general public could see it and if a customer asked for it, the cashier could not say it was being held. It happened a lot at JCPenney when they have their clearance sales (up to 70% off clearance + 20% employee discount?!=time to stock up)

  5. cutexianchick, not to take away from the Target nature of this thread...but if you're on Verizon, they have several (all good!) Android phones which can pretty much run the same apps throughout. They vary only in their size/speed/keyboard/price. They have the Droid, Droid 2, Droid Incredible, Droid X, and LG Ally. I would recommend looking in store and comparing what your likes are. If you have questions, head over to the Tech forum and we'll be happy to answer them there :)

     

    Nowadays, there's lots of us on GD with Android phones on all networks!

  6. Thanks for the link! Just goes to show why the Droid is SO much better....

     

    Oh, and be sure to click on that PeopleofWalmart.com link!!! Now THAT is why I don't like to shop at Walmart.

    Not that I disagree, but I just want to say that ANdroid is proving to be the alternative that people want to the iOS (iphone). Verizon did a wonderful job getting "Droid" into people's heads so whenever they see the newest Android phone they always ask, "Is that the Droid?" Even when they see my phone (T-mobile G1) which has been out for over a year before the Droid came out.

     

    That being said, I'm glad took the initiative to be one of the first big retailers (besides amazon.com) to have an Android App to help us save $$! Now if only they could have a Perimeter Perusing section on there ;)

  7. They also had Hannah Montana for didj for 7.50 (75%)

     

    Weird thing is they no longer have a leapfrog aisle? I know they are resetting but I am not kidding not ONE leapster/leapster game/ tag/ tag book/ ect ANYWHERE...I only saw the clearanced Didj charger/clearanced ONE didj game and Bakugan Clearance Tag book (they had 15 or so of these) and ONE Tag Jr. clearanced book....no other leapfrog items anywhere..we usually have one whole side of an aisle !!! I walked toys 15 times thinking I was missing it but its NOT THERE!! Made me BATTY

    Strange. Mine still has a leapfrog aisle.

    All the ones I've been to in SoCal (Inland Empire to Brea) still have at least 1/4 an aisle of Leapfrog items. Most have an entire side just for them. They just introduced the Leapster Explorer so that product line is just coming out. Only one store has completely re-done their Toy section so that may be why yours doesn't have it anymore. All our toy clearance was over by housewares/frozen foods bunched together as tightly as possible to not need to leave clearance in their respective aisles or endcaps but where a lot of foot traffic could see it in one day.

  8. The price is always what draws people to these...but after hearing so many....SO MANY horror stories, I wouldn't touch a celeron pc with a 10' pole. Chances are that someone who gets this is going to multitask the heck out of this and get frustrated when the pc cannot handle what they're throwing at it. for $100 more you can often find MUCH better deals (we've seen them posted here!)

     

    that's my 2 cents.

     

    now if i can't convince you otherwise, I posted some comparable laptops that would give as much as choice as possible. If you're one of the lucky few who doesn't have problems with their Celeron based pc, then I envy you because I wished my laptop would've been that good. Good luck :)

  9. Try this Orbitz link: CLICK HERE

     

    and enter this coupon code for Budget Rent-A-Car: Z959200 (select Budget) in the bottom menu.

     

    I don't know what size/time you're looking to pick up, but if you pick up at a non-airport location, you'll typically get better rates. I'm showing $253 for economy car to $274 for Standard car. (for the entire length of stay, not per week)

     

    Good luck :)

  11. Didj and Leapster are incompatible systems. Also, the Didj appears to be a failure, which I think is the reason why we're seeing so many sales on them. Don't count on more Didj cartridges in the future.

    The Didj wasn't necessarily a failure but the age group it targeted preferred to receive a Nintendo DS or Playstation PSP which are for completely different uses. For those who bought them and continue to use their Didj (and those looking for a good educational tool for 7-11 year olds) the Didj is a GREAT product. They have had many sales on all their systems/products (Tag, Tag Jr., Leapster2, Leapster L-Max, Didj, My Pal Scout, etc.) at various times for each item but they have continued to have more titles come out for both the Leapster and Didj. The latest games to come out for the Didj were all produced in summer 2009 with more stated to be on the way.
