I liked it also. I am in Milford PA and I have to say it was very organized and fun!! The employees even came around and were giving us goodies, ie snacks, drinks gum. They closed lines waiting for 5am when they got full. I will do it again this year if they have anything I want.

Thanks I will. My DS just told me he wanted the wired version, not the wireless which is what I have been looking at. I figured wireless would be easier.

I got the Puzzler World for me!! I love puzzle games

Yes I knew that. DD13 has a friend who has it and she went there and played it. When I first heard about it I thought it was like Twister until she tried it out. Thanks

I think both those deals were great. For me I would have gone with Amazon since I pay no tax or shipping with them. I also buy most of the video games from Amazon. I am holding out on order more stuff until I see the deal for BF

I am in Milford PA, the closest TRU to me is Middletown, NY

They don't have anything like that here, or even in Middletown at our local Gamestop. DS15 asked if he could stay home from school since the game was coming out today. I told him it won't arrive via UPS until after 6pm tonight so he could go to school and also go to lap swim after:tongue1:

Yes I also will put say an itunes gift card or Microsoft points for Xbox in a really big box and stuff with paper or bubble wrap, just to make the tree look fuller with the presents. Something else I do is one of the kids gets a gift that has several pieces (accessories) I will wrap each accessory in the same paper but individually. I will mark them so I know which it is and make them open them in order so as not to spoil the surprise. I started doing that since their gifts are more expensive. This year DS is getting the Asus Transformer with keyboard docking station, as well as the screen kit, a case to carry it, microsd cards. All will be wrapped separately so it looks like he has more. I love a full tree with tons of presents around it. I can't put the presents out early since we have 4 dogs (2 puppies this year) and a nosy cat who eats paper. Al presents will go out Xmas eve after they have gone to bed.

I wished I got in on that Houseparty!!! We got in on the Just Dance 3 party scheduled for the 11/19. My DD13 loves Twister so I ordered Twistermania last week from Amazon when they had their b2g1. Its one of her gifts this year. I am glad so many people can play at once.

What kind of games does he like. My DS15 like first shooter games. The new Call of Duty came out today and it is so popular there are kids who stayed home from school to play it. You can play all sorts of games on the Xbox, they don't have to be a Kinect game. My DS prefers the regular games to the Kinect games. He does play the Kinect games when we have alot of people over then he joins in.

Dance Central 1 is very big ( they won't get Dance Central 2 until Xmas) Wipeout in the Zone (I think there is a new one this year, have not gotten it yet) Child of Eden I think in the above order. Dance Central and Wipeout are the 2 most popular

Thats a better deal than what Amazon gave me:( Amazon gave me a credit for $10 off Turtle Beach headset. I am hoping one of the wireless ones will be on sale BF so I can use it. I got a great deal though from Amazon, they gave me a credit for $25 to use on the Xbox Live download code bringing it down to $34.99 and on top of that they credited my account for $25 to use against anything Amazon sells (because I had to request the other code with my preorder it was not automatically sent when my game shipped) I have already applied the credit to the Skyrim game coming out on Friday. I LOVE AMAZON

I just posted on the other thread some games we have. Here are the ones I know about and have or have ordered Dance Central 1 Dance Central 1 Wipeout in the Zone (very popular with my older kids younger cousins when they were here visiting) Kinect Sports (there is a 1 and 2) Your Shape Evolved (for parents but my teenagers play it and like it) Kinect Joy Ride Child of Eden Power Up Heroes (has gotten good reviews. Not sure if my teens would want it though) Just Dance 3 (not sure about this one getting it when I host the JD3 Houseparty on the 19th)

Yup that is what it is

We have Dance Central 1 (just ordered DC 2 arriving today for Xmas), Wipeout (kids spent an entire day playing that with their younger cousins big hit), I got for XMas also the Twister. Will check and see what other games we have and how popular they are.

Its a download code so I can't even buy it and give someone as a gift. I will ask him tonite to see if any of his friends online need a subscription. I can always buy it get the code and have DS give it to them.

I just checked all TRU emails for the last week. Only one to do with video games was saying COD coming out today and you get a jeep with it

Sounds like it might be Sonic Free Riders. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/519o4g7KGiL._SL500_AA300_.jpg I hope not since it got bad reviews at release last year. Only other Kinect game I can find that has Sonic is Adrenalin Misfits

That's weird I did not receive an email about the $20 GC for games $59.99 for today only. I saw the flyer on Sunday for the week with the other GCs. I am a rewards member also even though I rarely go to TRU now that my kids are almost 16 and 13.

Yes. Its too bad I don't need a Live membership. DS15 says online he is good until 2013, plus he has his card from last Xmas for a year and I have another year for his stocking this year. He is now good until 2015, so not buying another one:(

Keep an eye on Ebay they always have points onsale. I have gotten them there the last 6 times. I pre-ordered COD and they added the $25 bonus after I got shipping confirmation, so I contacted customer service and they gave me the bonus PLUS credited my account $25, which I have now put towards the preorder for the new Skyrim game coming out on Friday. I LOVE AMAZON!!!!!!:lolrun:

I know in their flyer they were giving a $50 itunes gift card. Not sure if that has changed.

Too Long. Most years Christmas Eve I am locked in my room wrapping presents. I am hoping this year to break that trend and start right after BF. Problem is hiding wrapped presents I have nosy teenagers;)

I am able to download books from other places on my Nook into my internal storage, its not just for B&N storage. I also am able to sideload books on microsd cards. With the Nook you are not limited to just your internal storage, you can have as many microssd cards and keep stuff on there also. I have nothing against the Kindle, I am still planning on getting a Kindle for my DD13 for Xmas, but I also LOVE my Nook. I am also planning on getting a Kindle for myself since I have a couple hundred free books downloaded to my PC for the Kindle (and I can borrow from the library too). I don't like reading on my phone or on my laptop. I am between a rock and a hard place in deciding whether or not to get the Fire or the Nook Tablet for DH. I want it for him to be able to watch streamed movies. We have Prime but we also have Netflix. The Fire and the Nook Tablet dont each do both so I have to choose. Another option is getting DD13 a new laptop and DH taking her old laptop down with him and using that. Still have not made a decision yet.
