  1. Our Walmart had them marked down to 50% the day after Christmas here in Illinois. I was waiting for the 75% off but it's too cold to go out now. lol I think they figured they could make more money taking them off clearance.
  2. I ordered and received aprons and photo books. I was very impressed with both. Sure sorry to hear that some of you ran into problems.
  3. Just checked my status and it hasn't even left their country yet. I could kick myself for ordering without checking to see where they were. I thought they were an established shopping site.
  4. Oh no!! Are they using the part of the service that doesn't move packages on weekends and holidays then?
  5. My aprons came Friday and my photobooks yesterday. I am very happy with the end products too. Yes, USPS is working on Monday.
  6. You know, I've wondered if some of their products aren't seconds or something. 3 people I know bought Kitchenaid products there and all of them broke down. Now, I know lots of folks with these mixers (including me) and we've never had a lick of problems with them. Mine is 8 years old and runs like a dream. My old cake decorating teacher had one over 30 years old (and a million miles on it) and never a problem. So what are the odds that the only ones who have had problems got them at the same place?
  7. By now I'm restricted to mail. We have only a Walmart in our area. It's a 2 hour round trip to a Best Buy. Game Stop is an hour round trip however, so I can try calling them in a bit. I hate to pay for stuff that I won't use, just can't afford it with everything else.
  8. Nothing on line either. I was reading somewhere that the equipment for the 2 was the same as for 3 but I have to question that since if it is, they would have the 2 stuff out for sale. Everywhere I looked they had the bundle for the 3 and XBox. Makes me wonder on how sound the equipment would be from a company who can't guarantee a release date. Sounds like they keep finding last minute bugs? Heck, last Christmas I was able to lay my hands on 3 Wii's with a minimum of effort. Now I can't find one lousy game. lol
  9. Music is a good idea. When my Mom was at the Nursing Home I brought a stack of cd's with oldies on them (even the Rod Stewart ones doing the oldies). These were for the day room so all the residents could enjoy them. They were a big hit.
  10. Large print books are another nice idea. Make sure she has a good reading lamp as well.
  11. While out of town I hit Sams Club, Best Buy, Game Stop, etc. and all said the same thing. Didn't get it and now don't have a clue as to when as shipping dates are pushed back constantly.
  12. I called Walmart. They didn't get any. Don't see it online at the usual vendors either. Anyone have any luck?
  13. When my kids were younger, I did both. When the number of presents were different, I'd get a larger box and put a few presents in the box. Never had a complaint.

    gift dilemma

    I had some bad feelings with my brother in the past and cut him off. We just recently had started talking again as I decided life was too short to hold a grudge. Thank God I did. This fall my brother took his own life. Now when all I have is to look back and consider all that took place, I could see where he was reaching out. So my advise, celebrate your still having your sister, warts and all. This is her way of trying to make amends, whether she slides back or not. This year for Christmas I bought him a headstone for his grave instead of a present. Believe me, life is too short but regret is forever.
  15. I've found like 8 different release dates on various websites. Some still insist it came out last week. It's one of those "believe it when you see it" things I think lol
  16. I placed 1 order for 2 aprons using the $30 off. That has not shipped. Later I placed another order for 3 album books, using the 20% off code. That was shipped this weekend.
  17. Great deal and great shipping. Mine arrived today! Thanks for the lead on this company.
  18. Thanks for the update. We don't have a game stop nearby but hope to go out of town in the afternoon as the kids have a half day. Hopefully I can nail one then. Before our Walmart went from regular to Super-Sized we had the same staff in electronics and they were all up to date on what was what. Now they hire more staff, cut their hours and rotate them so they don't get familiar with the stock. Never a good idea in electronics since that is their high ticket department with so many different systems.
  19. This is confusing. Searching around on the web, seeing Dec 11th, Dec 18th and Jan 2008 as release dates. The companies website is useless for any real info. for the PS2. I wonder if your Walmart clerk knew the difference on the various models Fulfam. Ours still had a stack of PS3 versions sitting out.
  20. Made it into Walmart. Big sign hanging there that the bundle isn't being released yet - anywhere. Games only are available before Christmas. Fulfam, are you sure you saw the bundle for the PS2?
