OR maybe, just maybe the OP bought more than one Wii this year? You have a very big chip on your shoulder, raven20_79. I hope that you got out of the CS field...for your own sake as well as others.

I have one for 20% on December 9th only - the discount code is "house". I'll look for a free shipping code and post it if I find it. Hope this helps.

I also have teens and feel your pain! They can just break your heart, can't they? I think that simply because you are asking this question, you already know the answer. You can let him know you love him and still give him something for Christmas without rewarding his poor behavior. These are LIFE lessons we are teaching them and sometimes we must have sadness (a teenager who didn't get a Wii for Christmas) in the short-term to achieve success (a happy, productive, well-adjusted adult) in the long-term. Go with your instincts - you KNOW the right thing to do (which may or may not be what I would do).

As far as I know, if your income/profit from a business is less than $600, it isn't required to be reported. I might be wrong, because we just take all of our info to the accountant and let them figure it out, but that was true when I was filling out my 17 year old's taxes last year...

I agree completely! I bought 2 Wii consoles at the end of October (1 to keep and 1 to sell). I was able to sell it on ebay, but there were not any guarantees that I would be able to, so basically I took the risk by tying my money up for over a month in the hopes that there would be a demand for it. I didn't do anything that anyone else couldn't have done, if they chose to. I invested my time and money and took a risk. How is this unethical??

Thanks OP! I got 3 pairs of shoes - one for me, one for dd and one for ds (who is hard to fit with a size 13+ foot), plus a pair of laces for $60.45 shipped. Can't beat that with a stick!

My experience wasn't bad, but I was afraid that I was going to have to get firm with them! The girl at customer service said they didn't PA on BF, but I told her I had asked specifically when I was there last week buying the items and was told unequivocally that I could PA. She told me that they hadn't allowed them to PA all morning, but called one of the managers over. I told the manager I had specifically asked about PA and was told yes, but she still acted like she was going to tell me no until I told her that corporate had said yes to PA even on Black Friday, then she told the girl to go ahead and do it. The manager didn't seem really pleased, but she wasn't unkind, so no problems, really. I got $25 back on a gift card that I had used, another $30+ on my debit card.

Mine didn't and they got it from the back, so I'm assuming none of them came factory sealed.

I'm positive. When they had this deal before I got a Wii Play as one of my 3 (B2G1) and I also asked tonight when I was buying mine. I actually bought 2 tonight and asked SPECIFICALLY if the Wii Play counted and she said absolutely! HTH By the way, I bought 2 of the Wii Play simply to get the controllers and sell the unused game. The girl at TRU said that she saw a used Wii Play at GameStop for $30 or so. I might take it and trade it in at GameStop!

You need the coupon for the gift card. I was there tonight and one of the people there told me about it. She also told me that they price adjust and if I bought what I wanted tonight, I could come back tomorrow & price adjust. She said they would run out quickly because they were going to have the Wii for sale and most people would buy the games also. I got 2 Wii Plays (keep the $40 controllers & sell the games!), HSM Sing It!, Mario Strikers Charged, Mario & Sonic Olymic Games AND Super Mario Galaxy (With the $25 GC). It was $320 - $55 in gift cards (from the other SM Galaxy, + 2 $10 GC w/$75 & 1 $10 GC with $100). Tomorrow I'll go back & price adjust $100, plus I get to keep my $25 GC from SM Galaxy. I was there last night getting the Color Wonder/Color Explosion deals. I left with over $200 worth of stuff for $71 (had a $25 GC from my SM Galaxy pre-sell). I LOVE my Toys R Us!

I was in TRU Monday & 2 of the "oldtimers" that work there told me they think they will do another b1g1 (or b2g1) before Christmas, but didn't know for sure when... Hope they're right!!

HP makes great printers, but not so great computers. My company only recommends Dell because they are very reliable and will take a lot of punishment. We are in the healthcare industry and reliability is very important (obviously). The Compaq may do fine for your average person (I disagree), but with only a $50 difference in the compaq and a dell, Dell wins out every time, IMO. :)

IMO Compaq is not a good brand. You can get one from Dell for $499 and sometimes even cheaper (though not often). Sony & Toshiba are ok, but we only buy & recommend Dells..

Thank you! I thought it was a good price (and it is the EXACT model my son asked for), but I wanted to see what others thought. The cheapest I had seen the A570IS was $199... I'm getting it! One more present down. :)

Doesn't seem right to me. Our school does something similar, but the % is a lot smaller and Wal-Mart no longer participates. I noticed this website had Wal-Mart, though, so it makes me think not legit...

Ours isn't a 24 hour and I am not about to stand in line for Wal-Mart for several hours. Year before last, I decided to go in around 9 am after I finished at BB and I was able to find a lot of the blitz items I wanted, though. I just walked the path of where the line had been. Apparently, a lot of people got tired of waiting in line and just left there stuff right where they were standing. I found 2 of the color video now players, along with several other toys and movies that I was looking for. I was only there about 15-20 minutes....

I had the same experience. I asked TRU to price adjust for a Furby I bought there for $29 and the NEXT DAY it went on sale for $18. I took it back 2 days later and the CSR said they didn't price adjust - even called the manager on the radio who also said no. I just returned it and went to another store that DID price match.

Smartbargains.com has several for $40 and up..I think they have a deal on shipping, too. If they don't right now, they usually run the .99 shipping at least once a week or so..

Probably try to be at BB by 2:30 - no later than 3:00. Guy at BB tonight said if I want some of the big ticket items I had better be there by 3:45. Another one said when he comes in at 4:30 the line is at the other end of the shopping center, so guess I better go to bed early!

BB coffee - sweet talked one of the guys working there into bringing me a cup when he comes in at 4:00.

I was just at WM tonight and the lady at the front said the Durabrand stereo price in the ad was wrong. It shows a doorbuster price of $48, but it's $38 right now. Couldn't get any help in electronics to find out what the price will really be Friday. :-(
