Brad Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 As always, we have several dedicated threads for the hotter items each Black Friday. Please try to keep all discussion related to these items in their official threads. Other threads posted will likely be merged into this main thread.
Needs a deal Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Who here plans getting halo 4 Christmas? Which edition standard limited or the limited box? What about the gaems halo vanguard portable case with 19" screen inside or the tritton 7.1 warhead wireless headset
bluebear Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 We will be purchasing 2 copies, probably one standard and one limited edition. I'm not sure about any of the other stuff. We will buy it on release day though, and it won't make it until Christmas...
Jen08 Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I didn't know if there was already a thread for this so if this one needs to be moved, then that's fine.....anyway, I have 2 sons and both want a 3ds. I saw that right now they are $169. Target has them on sale that if you buy 1 then you egg a $20 GC. Does anyone think this might be the best I'm gonna get on buying 2 of them or should I hold off? Im trying to be even more frugal than I was last year which might be impossible. I did pretty darn good last year with all my coupons and savings.
deelite Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I actually dont think this is the best deal you will get on these this holiday season. Last year TRU was offering at least one game and a $60 gift card with purchase and Target offered a $50 gift card plus an additional $10 gift card with coupon. I am also looking for a 3DS deal this year and I am definitely holding out to I see an awesome deal like last year.
jellybean051901 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 I need to get a DSi. My DD's is missing. I am afraid that DH may have left the car unlocked and it was stolen. We had a problem with a druggie breaking into houses and cars in our neighborhood. I am hoping for a good sale/gift card.
Brad Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Nintendo Wii U launch details: http://www.bgr.com/2012/09/13/nintendo-wii-u-release-date-november-18th/
racerfan Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Not happy with the prices. Looks like I may be passing on this. First time I have ever not gotten a Nintendo product on launch
Brad Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Not happy with the prices. Looks like I may be passing on this. First time I have ever not gotten a Nintendo product on launchPreorder 2, hope you can make a little profit on the other one by selling it on eBay, use that as a "discount" on yours
racerfan Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Preorder 2, hope you can make a little profit on the other one by selling it on eBay, use that as a "discount" on yours I don't know if it is going to be as big as the Wii was. They really are not saying much about it at all that I have seen.
Kim3498 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I don't know if it is going to be as big as the Wii was. They really are not saying much about it at all that I have seen.It is kinda hard to gauge how popular something like that will be. My local Gamestop is saying they expect it to be big, though. I think with the release date so close to Christmas it will be, but who knows. Wonder when Amazon will be taking pre-orders?
Brad Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 Wonder when Amazon will be taking pre-orders?I've seen them up already this morning on some of Amazon's European country sites, so Amazon.com is probably coming very soon.
Kim3498 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I've seen them up already this morning on some of Amazon's European country sites, so Amazon.com is probably coming very soon.Thanks for the info, Brad. I will be keeping a close eye on them, then.....
Brad Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 GameStop has them up: http://www.gottadeal.com/Deal/74302 But they have tax and shipping. If anyone is worried about not getting one, you can always order from GS and then cancel if you get to order one from Amazon or somewhere else "better".
racerfan Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Brad you are killing me. I am trying to find a place that actually has more input on how that tablet works and more info on the DVR and Tivo. So far I have seen pictures but now what it can do. Also is it necessary to get another controller etc...
jskarp Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I will be watching for a deal on the 3DS XL for my oldest! I'm sure I will get a deal either from Amazon or bundle deal on BF..
123abc Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 So i'm looking for one of these game consoles this year - to do zumba and other things w/kids, but have no idea what to get. Do I get the older Wii or xbox? I am clueless to what these game consoles give you.

Do I get the older Wii or xbox? I am clueless to what these game consoles give you.Well, you could use the regular Wii or the Xbox 360 with Kinect. I like the 360 with Kinect better because you don't have to use controllers, it just reacts with your body. With the regular Wii you have to use controllers.
Kim3498 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I guess I will be pre-ordering the Wii U from Bestbuy. I had filled out to be notified when it was available from Amazon, and just got this e-mail: Dear Amazon.com Customer, Thank for you signing up to be notified when the Wii U is available. Unfortunately the Wii U console is not available at Amazon.com at this time but please check back in the future, as availability may change. We do have the latest Wii U games and accessories available now so check them out. Thank you for shopping with Amazon Video Games.

Thank you for shopping with Amazon Video Games.Article about it: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/14/wii-u-not-available-at-amazon/ Strange considering the other Amazon sites (UK, etc...) are all taking preorders. Maybe Amazon isn't getting the price from Nintendo they want to make enough $ on them. I preordered from BB yesterday just to have an order placed in case I decide to get one.
lesliepear Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Any actual game deals? My son wants Pokemon White V2 for the DS and the 2013 versions of the sport games for the XBOX (Madden, NCAA and NBA) Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using GottaDeal
Kim3498 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Wii U in 32 GB deluxe set is sold out on Gamestop.com and Bestbuy.com. All of Gamestops in my area have stopped taking orders, too, but are saying they are requesting permission to sell more. I'm glad I got mine fast......

They usually do a Buy 2 get 1 free or Buy 1 get 1 half off. They usually start this around the end of October or early November.
123abc Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Is the $249 price in WM circular this week a good deal on the xbox? or will it be better come BF?
jamieva Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 Going to be looking for a 3ds deal for my daughter. Is the XL model worth the extra $?
jskarp Posted September 18, 2012 Posted September 18, 2012 According to my son and friends the XL is and I quote "way better".....lol
juanadeal Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Looks like we're getting an xbox this yr. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure.
midnight555 Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 Playstation coming out with a slimed system
jediliz Posted September 19, 2012 Posted September 19, 2012 i'm hoping for a deal on 3DS....I want one But I probably won't be able to shop in person....and if they give a gift card w/purchase....I don't think you can get those online.
monster2369 Posted September 24, 2012 Posted September 24, 2012 I am wondering what the prices of XBox and PS3 will be. I am going to skip out on the Wii U for right now but my son must have the other two.
