Thats a good question, I would like to know also.......


I would DEFINITELY recommend a charging dock. :yup: The Wii is great, but it eats through batteries something fierce, especially if you play it alot. I got the one that has a stand for the Wii itself, plus 2 spots for the Wiimotes to charge, and a compartment to charge rechargeable batteries.

Has Anyone seen Madden 09 for either ps3 or Xbox 360 on sale???????


If you can hold out, those Madden games go down precipitously in price about six weeks after release.

You definitely need the charging dock. The controllers for the wii are wireless, meaning they use batteries. If you dont have rechargeables then you will be buying new batteries often. With the dock, your wii-motes are always ready to go. If you have any other questions about the wii, just let me know.

It's been a lot more then 6 weeks since release....I believe the came out mid August.

They may drop after the 1st of the year when the season is over, but doubt they will fall before Christmas.

Wondering if anyone knows any kid friendly Wii games for ages 7 and 8? I'm scanning BF ads to find some good deals...but unsure what will they like and what they could play easily?! Would Game Stop be my best spot on BF?? Maybe WM? Kara :gdgirlfight3ol:*Patiently Waiting For Black Friday...I'm Ready As You Can Tell!!*

I wondered about this too, how much better might it be, etc. Also why are some versions so expensive?
Are they really BETTER or just NEWER?
It seemed to me watching the prices of them during the last 2 weeks, that they are all being offered on different type of promotions, different days/weeks/BF.
So I suppose we cannot necessarily figure that just because one may be closer to 100 bucks that it is any better than a deal for 40 bucks..
I wondered if you could use a guitar across all discs?

In other words, I would hope that the guitar that is in my GH 3 bundle I just bought for my son, will work if I decide to buy the Aerosmith disc... I asked this question but I don't think anyone replied...


My DH has PS2 and all the GH bundles. Orginally we bought the first bundle than he has used the same guitar. We also bought an additional guitar last year...(off brand that WM sells...works great)..it works fine as well. We bought Rock Band about 4 wks ago on sale at WM and the GH guitars work with it too...so after you buy the first bundle...you will only have to buy the game!

I'm hoping to catch ROck Band 2 on sale soon!

Looks like you're right. I guess my experience was a couple years back, before the current-gen consoles were released. My bad.


p.s. To the OP, console-based sports games are a money-pit. Get yourself a PC for that sort of thing.

If worse comes to worst, you can always eBay it. I assure you, one thing you won't be is out any money on this deal, no matter what happens. :)

If EB won't take it back, you can be really aggressive and start offering it for sale right there in the store. However, this is the Nuclear Option, so you want to be careful in exercising it.

Most of the Wii games will be fine for 7 and 8 year olds. It just depends on what kind of games they like. Next time you're in Walmart or Target, stroll over to the video game case and take a look. It will help give you an idea on what to get them. :yup:

Well just got back from EB Games and they took it back and gave me the price including my warrenty...I was so happy!!! If anyone is looking for a good price on the Nintendo DS they are still running that deal trade in your old DS or game boy advanced and get the DS lite for 89.99...heck of a deal...I know my daughter hasn't touched the old gameboy in months so I traded it in...saved 40.00.

Madden 09 you can get for $44.99 used at Gamecrazy. Got the new DSi thanks to my tomodachi (friend) who shipped it from Japan. It is VERY cool. I'd say it's worth not getting a DS and waiting for the US launch.

You will have to check online but I am thinking it ends this weekend. It is a good deal and my store still had tons of them left. All you need is the old gameboy advanced and the charger...it is like they are giving you 40.00 for it. I couldn't sell it at a yards sale for that price.

My husbands aunt won it at work and she would sell it for 225.00 so no brainer we bought it. I am so excited about that I saved like 180.00 between what I got back for the one we bought and would have paid for the Wii fit. :D

The $224 price is incorrect. The $425 is a good deal, considering that Wii-motes are pretty much never put on sale.

Does Walmart carry the Brother In Arms Xbox 360 game that TRU will have for 17.99 (Hell's highway or something like that lol)? I will go later this week to see, but if anyone knew now that would help me on gas. My son wants it, but I hate to stand in line at TRU for just a video game.

I've noticed that at Target you can buy the Pro for 300 dollars and get a free $50 gift card... I was wondering, does this also apply for the Xbox 360 Elite for 400? Would I still get a free $50 gift card with it or no?

You can get a Xbox 360 Elite for $339.15 after 15% coupon code 8BM53TB8R1DXC0 right now at the DELL website with free shipping.

Sorry, since I'm new, the forum won't let me post a link. BTW the coupon works with other game systems too.
