I've noticed that anything I order that ships from Texas always takes way longer to arrive. I have no idea why, but almost every time it takes about 3 times longer than anywhere else, even California, I live in MA.

I got this for my son for his b-day the day it came out and it was and still is a HUGE hit. I actually bring it with me sometimes when we go to friends houses for game nights......we all end up in the living room playing this instead of board games. It is SOOOO much fun......and just plain funny to watch people play. Oh, and the kids love it too

That is so true, any time I call the csr reads me off all the Nintendo products I've purchased and asks if I still use them all. I have been a fan of Nintendo since I was little. I still remember the thrill of buying my very first NES when I was 12, I had saved up all my babysitting money all year long and got it for myself and my siblings for Christmas(1986). It was AWESOME!!!!!!!

I strongly suggest calling Nintendo first, most of the time they will just exchange it. We've done this a couple times, we weren't sure when the warranty was up, but we knew it was up, and we told them that, they said it wasn't a problem, they sent us a new one and we sent the old one back, on their dime even. Nintendo has AMAZING customer service, give it a try. Not saying it will work for sure, but what's it hurt to try?

I don't know how to add the pic and stuff(figured it out) but sellout woot has the mini r/c heli's for $9.99 each plus $5 shipping. http://s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/wootsaleimages/Micro_Remote_Control_Helicopterhw5Standard.jpg http://sellout.woot.com/Default.aspx?WootSaleId=4538&ts=1199634746&sig=01fe36e247f93b10 I've been looking for these so I ordered 3, for a total of $34.97. These were a HUGE hit at my house at Christmas.......and if the kitten hadn't attacked ours we'd still be playing with it.

Try this one.......http://www.lakeside.com/details.asp?I=XMX&Ntt=TREE&N=36&Nao=21&R=3926 a little on the odd side, but definitely a conversation piece. I love Lakeside, always something that I just can't resist.

The warranty is a year, and if you registered your Wii you got an extra 90 days on top of that. Ours starting acting up in October(we got ours on launch day), wouldn't read any discs, even brand new ones. I called and they sent out a new one with no problems at all. Nintendo has always been VERY good about warranty issues for me.

Got my two but haven't had a chance to test them out yet........maybe New Years Eve??

Are you looking for a BT headset or BT headphones? The Chocolate is a MP3 phone right? For a headset I use a Motorola HS850(usually can be found for about $25-$35, check Amazon) and I love it. For headphones I use Motorola S9($70-$110).

My Walmart has them also, they are mixed in with the PS2 and Xbox versions right at the electronics counter.

I bought a Sansa for my nephew last year for Christmas.....he LOVES it. He has since received an iPod but still uses the Sansa for his daily listening. Just bought another one this year for my daughter. I have nothing but good things to say about the Sansa's.

I picked up one at Walmart the other day for 19.84. It did come with the Zelda game.

If you already have service through AT&T you should be able to get a replacement sim card for free, just call customer service. Very rarely do they charge for them(You have to be a real butt to the person you're talking to), but if they do it's $25. Yes, the GoPhones will work fine with a regular sim card. I've done this a couple times. Although what you might want to try, not saying this works everytime, but if you get a nice CSR they will usually help you out........Call CS and tell them what happened and ask for an exception upgrade......basically they move your upgrade date to now so you can go get a new phone at the discounted price. I've done this twice so far, only been told no once and that was by a real pita CSR. With 5 lines on our family plan and 3 of those phones with teenagers, we go through A LOT of phones. I think if one more goes through the wash I win a prize! Good luck

It depends on what company you are with. Example, I'm with At&t and if I need a new phone but don't want to extend my contract, I can just buy a go phone(at&t prepaid) and stick my sim card in. They have them at Walmart, Best Buy, etc. Most of the time they are fairly inexpensive.

Why not return the game and buy the bundle? The bundle will come with the game, guitar, drums, also a microphone. Most Walmarts around here still have the bundle.

We got this camera for our 5 yr old for Christmas. Like others stated, an adult wouldn't be thrilled with the picture quality, but for all the pictures of his brothers' butt and close ups of the tv that my son takes, it's perfect.

Target has the Wii in their ad for tomorrow(2/11). You'll need an extra remote and nunchuk. As far as games go, I'd recommend Wario Ware, it's tons of fun in multi-player, even has a game where the kids have to work together to get through a course.

I am addicted to Wario Ware!! Tennis Tower has my soul. It's a fun game for single or multi-player. I've also pre-ordered Mario Party 8, we have every one that has come out and my kids always like them. My 7 yr old has been playing Mario64 since we downloaded it. I'm having fun watching him having fun playing it, it brings me back to when it was new and I played it non stop. Mario Galaxy doesn't have a release date as of yet. It's still TBA 2007. Release dates I know: Wii Play - Feb 14th Sonic and the Secret Rings - Feb 20th(Sonic games are really hit or miss, I'm going to rent it first) Mario Party 8 - March 5th TMNT - March 13th God Father - March 20th Disney's Meet The Robinsons - March 27th All listed as just March as release date: Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII Bionicle Heroes Heatseeker Bust-A-Move Bash! Medal of Honor Vanguard Prince of Persia: Rival Swords Zelda has not been played here as much as I thought it would be. We play mostly Wii Sports, Wario Ware, Mario Kart 64(HUGE hit), and Mario64.

Toys R Us is supposed to have these the week of 2/11. I happened to be at Walmart this afternoon and watched as they put these out on the shelves, at least 10 of them, they were GONE in about 5 minutes.

Don't forget to head on over to our Wii Mii thread, add your number and get in on the Mii parade list! Link

I'm not sure if this is only local(western MA) but Staples had a full page ad in the paper yesterday for a sale 1/24-1/27. In it there was a laptop for $549 with 2 $50 rebates(one instant, one "easy rebate") AND a $30 off over $199 coupon you could clip and use for a total of $130 off bringing the laptop down to $419.

It actually can take up to 6 hours for your auctions to show in a search on ebay. Also, if you revise it at all(price change, catagory change, etc), it can take 6 hours after that for it to show back up in any searches. When I want to check if my auctions are showing yet, I do a search with a few key words and change the sorting to "distance: nearest first", then it's always one of the top listings.

I headed over to Pennys yesterday and STOCKED UP! Half the store was 70% off with another 40% off after that. I got shirts, pants, socks(even socks were on clearance), pajamas, coats, hats and gloves. I walked out of there with 3 HUGE bags of stuff and spent under $50!!!!

I've had the same experience with HotTopic.com, it's very very frustrating. I ordered $40 worth of stuff last week, get an email with shipping info, then the next day or even later I'll get 3 or 4 SEPERATE emails telling me things I ordered are out of stock and cancelled, yet they don't give me the option to just cancel the whole order, which is what I would do. One order I put in, I think I ordered 10-11 things, actually only ended up getting maybe 3 of them, kept getting emails that things were out of stock, but I'd go to their site and they would still be showing as in stock, for DAYS after I got the out of stock email. Horrible customer service.

Just want to point out that those refurbs at $89 are NOT the lite, those are the original DS's.
