Yes, that is true and for some people a 26 would be better size (for a smaller bedroom)...

It got great reviews, 4 1/2 stars.

It does not swivel, but it is only 30 lbs.

The speakers are in the back.

My son got this last year and LOVES it.I was really surprised that it really works the way it suppose to.

Glad to hear it! I read some bad reviews (about it breaking), but the more recent reviews seem to be better....I know my son will love it!

Does anyone know anything about this one? Air Hogs Laser Zero Gravity Remote-controlled Vehicle – was $34, now $19

My son saw the commercial for it and thought it was "COOL!" but I'm wondering if you have to have a specific textured wall for it to work on or what? There are no reviews for it on walmart or amazon. TIA:)

We have a small Vizio tv for our bedroom and love it. I was in Walmart last night and I'm pretty sure the black Friday ad was laying at the electronics register folded in half with a piece of paper laying on top where they were taking inventory. It was a paper ad and the only thing I have seen out lately is the glossy ads. The suspense is killing me, guess I'll have to wait until Sunday unless Walmart decides to release the ad early....c'mon Walmart :)

What's with the *'s and "o"'s? showing prices of the Wii and XBox 3 different prices? :confused:

 

The star indicates the sale item (a game system accessory) with the price after the "o"s.

 

In other words:

* Band Hero - Includes drum and guitar controllers, microphone and game (ESRB: E10+)

o PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii - $199.00 plus $40 Walmart Gift Card

o PS2 - $179.00 plus $40 Walmart Gift Card

 

This means the Band Hero set for Xbox, ps3 and Wii is $199 plus gift card, while the Band hero set for PS2 is $179 plus gift card.

OK, so the "o PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii - $119.00 plus $40 Walmart Gift Card" is a mistake right? I noticed that there is the same deal except for $199 a few lines down. The second deal is a great deal. The first deal would be an absolute steal.

Read the above post.... it's not for the gaming system but for the game.
