[Nintendo DS]

I purchased 1 for my nephew from Amazon. The price was $119, and they had a deal on the games too. Buy 2 get one free. I purchased 3 mario games(Bros, Kart, Party) and the DS for a total of $189.

Check out the TRU big book. You get a $10 TRU gift card card with any Ipod priced $99 or more and if you get the itouch you also get a $25 itunes card free.

 

Good luck;)

Thanks!

THanks! I went ahead and got my nephew the silver dS, Mario bros, mario party and mario cart. Saved about $40.

 

Now I need to find the best deal for a iPod (nano or touch) for my other nephew.

I had a hard time a few days ago finding one. I guess they are in full stock now. Regardless, the task is done, and the item will be shipped up to Cleveland.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Placed my order, I hope my niece likes it!

[Elmo Live! is here. Get him before he's gone @ kohls.com $59.99]

Damn,missed it. I really would like to get one for my neice.

[Wii question ... recommendations?]

Something i just informed my sister on, you will need Wireless internet, unless you buy an adapter for the Wii. When i loaded in my Mario Galaxy I was prompted to do a system update. not sure if the game will play without it. So for those of you that do not have wireless internet or the adapter, you might want to get that before the big day.

 

I wish i would have loaded up everything on my nephew's Wii before i mailed it off to him. But a $49 router isn't too bad. And lock down your wireless internet with a good long password. WPA encryption. Happy holidays!

[Worst/Best gift you ever received?]

Best: Too many, Castle Gray Skull, NES back in 88??, Genesis when Sonic first came out

Worst: My girl got me cufflinks when i thought the box was an ipod a few years ago. All the pictures of me opening the box shows my thought of the gift. But I got it shortly after for my birthday.

[Christmas traditions?]

I miss those days. Ever since things changed within my family with my moms condition, all holidays are not the same. I try to not think about it. Instead I focus on my niece and nephews, making their holidays near what mine was when i was younger.

 

But i do miss the family gatherings, and just talking to my mom. So don't take things for granted, that time is so precious. And that happened 4 years ago tomorrow actually, so the holidays are a bit of a downer for me.

[Favorite Holiday Song]

Run DMC - Christmas in Hollis. CLASSIC! Thats like me hearing Summertime by the Fresh prince. it sets the season.

[when do you start listening to christmas music?]

Right before vacation! Come Dec 20th I'm done for the year at work. I might listen to some tomorrow since I'm off all next week. I have mine in a collection called Festivus in my iTunes.

 

But come black friday, you have to be mentally ready for the crowds, forget all the magical season music, you will hear that enough in the stores. I need some Luda... MOVE GET OUT THE WAY! lol, but it's all in fun, but it does seem to help while driving here in Atlanta.

Today is Dec 9, hasn't even been a f'n month! i'm sending my piece of crap 360 in for repairs. Warning!!!!!!!!! If i could go back, I would have not gotten this damn thing and just tried to find a Wii. Mine crashed while playing gears of war. Comes on, the second i press the XBOX logo button, system locks up.

 

Microsoft is a joke. Thats why i use Macs, better quality. They all about that $. Not quality product.

 

So, think about this before you run and buy one. Oh, and they are making me PAY TO SHIP IT TO TEXAS FOR THE F'N REPAIR! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ABOUT! F MICROSOFT!

[Macy's Clearance 75% off + BIGIF]

DAMN! Started to go to Macys last Saturday. Likely missed anything of interest. i'll go after work and see if anything is left.

[Tops Grocery Stores liquidating - NE Ohio]

Wow, been down in Atlanta. Tops is closing!!!!! Nobody back home in Cleveland mentioned this. Anyone remember when it was called Finest?

[KB TOYS...Early Bird Sale 60% off]

KB has always been expensive. In Cleveland we had Children's Palace before Toy R Us cut off their biz. I guess Wal-Mart is sticking it to Toys R Us now. Yet KB is still around.

[XBOX 360 $100 Rebate - Microcenter]

I paid $435 I believe after taxes, don;t have my receipt on me. That was for the premium system.

 

So about $335 after the rebate.

[XBOX 360 $100 Rebate - Microcenter]

Well off to Costco i go instead. I didn't get the extended warranty. :/ Hell i never get those, on my 2500 mac pro I will before the factory one expires. But a game system... I'll pass on that one this time.

[XBOX 360 $100 Rebate - Microcenter]

I just got mine, next stop is Best Buy after work for Gears of War. This promotion is to promote Microcenters new Game Department.

 

 

I have links to the pdfs of the rebate form. But you can search microcenter rebate and find the rebate page in google.
