Gonna be a great game though! Might want to order it from gamestop when it does come out. ANd buy the insurance for a couple bucks. Its guaranteed to be played a lot. I pre-ordered Harry Potter lego for the wii from amazon and the kids managed to scratch it beyond repair with in 3 days. We have a PS3 as well so I replaced it with a PS3 disc. The Blu Ray PS3 discs are almost indestructible. Gamestop will replace the wii (or the PS3 discs) if you buy the insurance . Its a couple bucks I think. Thanks for the reminder actually. Now that I think about it I am preordered on the Wii from Amazon already for that one. Did it back in the summer or earlier before this harry potter fiasco and I need to cancel it and buy it at gamestop (they also do preorders), or get it for the PS3 instead.

We bought about 3 years ago now. My husband bought a 80 GB in late 2007. I did my research and promptly returned it for a 60 GB which was BC via HARDWARE, at the time the 80 GB was also suppose to be BC but via a software solution. Since we bought the thing to play Sly Fox Thievious Racoon Games (PS2 only) I thought hardware compatibiltiy was important. Didn't play it a for much else for a year or so (we also bought a Wii and my son was only 7 when we bought both systems.). Now we play it a lot more. Because the kids are older, the PS3 games are more affordable, and there are many more kid-friendly titles to chose from. Side notes: 1) I love the PS3. I am an adult nongamer, but it plays DVD's so beautifully and there are more and more E and E10+ games coming out all the time (all the lego games are available pretty cheap for the PS3 as well as titles like madagascer, the new toy story and the Ratchet and Clank's (which is I'd say for 7+.) And It streams netflix so well! Only my Macs do it better but I prefer to view on the TV. I own an apple TV, a Wii, and 3 Home computers, as well as the PS3/ 2) PS3 game disks are mostly indestructible. The are blue ray and so don't get trashed like the wii disks which cost the same or often more these days. If you've ever spent close to $50 on a Wii game and had to toss it after a couple days having done every thing you could to save it (including the disk buffing machines)'; it is painful. 2)We have since bought a GAme Cube (predecessor to the Wii) just so we could play game cube games. Even though the Wii is suppose to be BC. The minidiscs were getting stuck in the Wii drive and wouldn't eject and also just played better on the Gamecube. We picked it up for $20 at gamestop about 6 months ago and it included one controller. 3.) If I were in your situation I might fork over the bucks for a PS3, it is a quality machine and if ours died today, I'd buy a new one tomorrow. That said I would look for a 60GB PS3 first (at a good price like max $150 maybe $200.) They were the last ones to be TRULY backward compatible . Not finding one at a reasonable price, I would buy the new PS3 and then look for a used PS2 to play the old games on. Paying less than a hundred, maybe even $75. There are some amazing PS2 classics like SLY RACCON -----fantastic for young kids. Can't recommend it enough. In conclusion, our 3 year old PS3 is still a powerful machine, even today. Sony builds things to last and our 60 GB seems no less (and perhaps even more) than the PS3's being sold today. Last two notes. 1) CON:It sucks down the juice. Some times I think I could warm myself standing next to it. 2) What the heck are these massive hard drives for? You probably won"t use it anyway so who cares how big it is? We've never used it for anything more than saving game data. May your holidays be merry! Brainfreeze

Happy Holidays! What lego deal may I ask? Still available?

The deal at our gamestop was BF $59.99 and regular $79.99. A side note, if you are replacing a broken DS, Gamestop gave me $40 for a broken DS (store credit) and then I guess they refurb them. I applied the money to a new DS replacement because the stores around us are very low in used DS stock, and having traded in a well used one I was a little wary. We traded in a few hot games and the DS was like half off! I think $20 - $40 is what you get for a trade in DS. I was just shocked they would want to take a broken one!

You may want the new one instead... http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/videogames/detail-page/B002DC8GIG.05.lg.jpg http://www.amazon.com/Dance-Revolution-Hottest-Bundle-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002DC8GIG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1261196914&sr=8-1 There is also a new one out. Amazon has DDRHP3 for $62.99. It's all about the songs. Check both song lists. Also if you have a balance board there is some integration in the new version. Also if you are new to the "sport" or have youngish children, the DDRHP3 has a dance school mode and a relax mode so you can learn a bit slower.

I actually had that model (the 205 without the W.) I bought it 3 years ago and paid considerably more. It was stolen out of the car (always take it in with you!) and I replaced it with a 260 last year which has the spoken street names. Funny thing is, after a few weeks I started finding the new model downright depressing. Her voice was so flat. I tried all the voices and then found my old voice which has beautiful natural speech that is just great, but it's the voice that does not speak the street names. So I switched to the old voice and now run my Nuvi 260 with no street names just to get the voice. I'm, guessing they don't have the storage to prerecord the name of every street on the continent, so they use a more robotic computer generated speech out of necessity. Now I am looking for a starter GPS for my brother who I drew for secret santa. Maximum spending being $100 I didn't think I could buy him a GPS. Glad to find out I can! Thanks for your post.

$90 seems like a good deal! May I ask what deal that is? Is it a Garmin Nuvi? Thanks

I am not getting zhu zhu's but my store has been flush in stock since Monday! That's the single $9.99 variety. And they had them today at 11am.

Batcave is back up to $50 at TRU. OOS on the site, but they had a ton of them at our store.

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=38246&vid=1&pid=697529&scid=697529032 You could look for these in the store. I'm pretty sure they came in other colors. They are well reviewed but OOS online except for size 3 white. Old Navy shoes can be hit or miss. The boots we bought at ON this year for my 5 yo (a less furry version) are great.

Thanks all. I will keep checking amazon. Currently all they have is apparently a new one available for preorder coming out in July 2010? Maybe the current model will come back in stock with them? Ebay's going to go through the roof because it's christmas don't you think? Amazon's lack of product made me think it may sell out some places. Any opinions? Thanks again.

Prime is great. Think of all the gas you save!

I am looking for a deal on Handy Manny. I think it must be the repair shop that boy 4.5yr is talking about. He said workbench but I only see a repair shop? Is that right? I Just started looking for this and the best I see is $79.99 at Target, weekly ad. I just started looking, any advice for those who have been watching this longer? Thanks!

We have it and love it. Payed $30 or $35 at Toys r us over the summer. Target is selling them for like $50. Just checked TRU and it's 45$ now. Crazy that thing is going up in price! It was max $40 over the summer. It is a really good cave though! Might want to wait til after Xmas and see if the price drops back? Probably not an option. I can't find it on targets site but they did have it in store last week for about $50. Toys r us has it on there site and probably in the store for $45. good luck.

I was seeing this on their site last night but I am not seeing it this morning. The little icons by the products and in my cart are gone! Is this still going on do you think?

Let me know how you like it when you get it. And how much the kids play with it and how old they are. My daughter (5 yrs) did want this! What about the sphinx? That looks too cool!

Let's see. We wrap for the most part. I like the idea of unwrapped Santa gifts. I never put anything out until Xmas eve unless it has been wrapped by both kids, because I did the same thing as above when I was young. I unwrapped everything and rewrapped it! And I think it has more impact when it all goes out at once. As for Santa, well he's a busy guy and can't be bothered with making his own special wrapping paper. He shops around for good deals just like Mom and has fabulous taste just like Mom and so the wrapping paper is almost always the same. I love wrapping! I worked a xmas season at Macy's when I was 17, and hated almost every minute of it except for learning how to wrap. That was 20 years ago. They really knew how to wrap beautifully. Do they even wrap at Macy's anymore? On a side note- I really like that for the first year ever, all the wrapping paper I bought at Target, says recyclable on it. It's the first year I've noticed the little logo anyway. Now if someone would start selling recyclable ribbon and tape, that would be fantastic!

Planning to pick this up on sale tomorrow for $50 at target. Does anybody know of a better price? This is in their weekly ad and is 20$ off their regular price. Is there some kind of coupon or something I could use that I didn't find? Or a better price someone knows of off hand. That's Wowwee's Roborover. Thanks in advance.

Not a deal per say, but our elementary school collects them at the office, and probably does what you are talking about. It helps support the school a bit. Maybe your school does too. You could ask and if not you could suggest they start and coordinate it for them! That's how they buy their supplies I think.
