Does anyone know if Amazon matches GC deals? Toys R Us and Target are doing a $50 GC with an Xbox is there a chance Amazon will do the same?

I'm not sure if this is a good price but I saw Kmart advertising an X-Box with the Kinnect thing and maybe a game for $299. Its listed on the website right now as well.

I noticed that on the last page of the Toys R Us ad that they are doing a buy one XBox 360 game and get another for $5. That's good if you're looking for the games they show. Unfortunately, we only want one of them.

Looking for a deal on a Wii. My niece's Wii is having problems. She says it will play a while and then says disk error or something like that. I am thinking we should just get a new one, since the price to send it to Nintendo to fix it will be about the same. However, I do not need the stuff included in the bundles. Anyone see any good deals on just a Wii or a Wii with minimal accessories?

You could probably get a pretty decent trade for it at GameStop.

Our Wii was having similar problems, so we just bought a used one at Gamestop because they didn't have a new one in stock. We then sold our old Wii on Ebay, listing it as broken and listed the problem. It sold for close to 100.xx!

Have any of you seen any bundles/special deals for the PS3 Move controller? We're considering it for our DS for his birthday (early December) but I haven't seen any super-great deals on them.

When you contact Nintendo for repairs, you don't have to have to pay postage. They will send you an e-mail with prepaid postage you just attach to the package you are sending the wii back in.

Nintendo is AWESOME with customer service and repairs. They fixed ours free once, and one time after my son accidently knocked it off a table, they replaced it for free since it was still in the warranty period. Love that company.

Thanks so much, I had gone up to Kmart the other day and they were OOS. This is the regular price of the bundle but they are giving a $40 gaming credit with purchase so I can use that towards a game so its a pretty good deal.

I just with the DS warranties included the hinge. That hinge breaks really easily and they won't cover that even within the 1 year warranty period. They'll offer a $25 discount on repairs which still means $50 to fix the hinge (really it's a replacement of the top half). My 10 year old has packing tape holding hers together right now because I refuse to spend another $50 on her DS.

The did replace my 12 year old's DS at no cost when the screen stopped working within the warranty period and they made it very easy. I just with that hinge was covered.

Am I reading this right? You sold a broken Wii on eBay for nearly $100? Who the heck would buy a broken Wii? ETA: I see you listed it as broken. I guess people will buy anything on eBay! I wouldn't even think about listing a broken Wii.

Meijer black friday ad - go to link and click on sneak peek access:

However do you pronounce Meijer? We don't have any around here.

Yep, you read that right. I'm guessing it was someone who knew how to fix it and either got a cheap Wii or was able to resell it... I didn't think someone would pay that much and was hoping to get $50 at the most...

Best Buy is out!!!

Looks like some good deals on video games and movies. Was hoping for better deals on TVs.

 

[bluesaturn]

A lot of people were asking about e-readers. Looks like Best Buy will have a $99 Nook.

Thanks for posting the ad links

WM ad has not leaked yet.

And it probably won't until the last minute (which should be about this time, next week).

Both Walmart and Home Depot were "proactive" and put their legal counsel (corporate attorneys) to work on advance cease-and-desist notices to the major BF website operators.

But, we should still have plenty of advance notice since Walmart corporate already said their BF ad will be made public a week in advance (and based on the free shipping thing at walmart.com , I expect their ad to be one of the "crown jewels" of the shopping season).

It definitely won't be posted on the major bf websites anytime soon.
However there is a lot of buzz on the forums that the ad might spread anytime now, possibly this weekend. Usually it's spread by PMs, no one will posted it up anywhere obvious. We'll see though, it could be just talk.

Although, as soon as people get their hands on it, it will start popping up everywhere (even if it's immediately taken down). Eventually WM will give up and hopefully officially reveal it even earlier than planned.

El Casa Depot is already out there lol.
