Disney Infinity musings

[*NikkiBell*]

I'm going to merge this with the other thread we have about DI. There's a healthy discussion about these things there.

I found out about a nice little shortcut for leveling up, which is good since a few of my characters were nowhere near level 15 after beating every play set available.

Win the fan toy in the vault
win a car from the vault (or be a car from Cars)
Go to an empty Toy Box
Set up the fan near middle
Bring car right to edge of fan and nudge it forward slowly
Let fan lift car up an begin doing tricks continuously, one after the other for as long as desired making sure to top it all of with a different trick for a multiplier.
Carefully move off fan's wind (no traction) and be sure to land on all wheels
Watch your level go up up up.
Rinse and repeat as desired

For a bonus Spin, the one on the top mountain where the car is in the original Toy Box always red pawns when you reload the level. Just get in the car, wait for the area to load, then grab it.

In case you haven't heard, it's been confirmed that the next Toys R Us exclusive Power Disc will be available during the special trading event next weekend! Here's a screen shot:

Also, what is everyone's plans for Jack Skellington and Toy Story figures? Are you pre-ordering or waiting?

Can anyone tell me what those clear floating cubes are in the worlds??

I may wait to they come on amazon or go to Walmart.


Who else thinks wall-e would make a great game and hope they go back to the older films into games to.

Toy store. It is a redundant way of opening a menu that can also be done by pressing select (on ps3).

Not going to pre-order and still hope there's some pack for Jack or someone else coming.

I actually find it somewhat disappointing if Toy Story really is the last play set for this because by looking at the toys in the collection, that is the last one that fits the majority of locked items I still have. The rest could be unlocked with a few character chests.

Just an FYI for anyone unhappy with the Wii version of Disney Infinity. I brought mine back to Toys R Us this morning and they took it back without much question. For the Starter Pack I still had the box and I re-boxed it almost as new, but I had purchased three packs of figures that did not have the box and they took them back too. They apparently have a 45 day return policy on electronics, they asked my why I was returning it and I explained how the Wii version really doesn't play as advertised and she said that was OK.

 

[HubbDave]

Remember, the figures and discs are not system specific

So, if you exchange the starter set for the Wii for the Wii U version (as an example ) the other figures would still work

 

[MarkC71]

I knew about the figures not being system specific. We only have a Wii and since my kids are fairly young and I don't have a lot of time to play I wasn't willing to buy a brand new system just to play one game. So I figured if it didn't really work well on the Wii it wasn't really worth it for me to keep anything. I've heard they are planning to release a PC version in October, but that won't be able to use the figures either. I might try my luck with that version.

Did you have your receipt? I'm currently in a dilemma and am considering returning my Wii version, buying PS3, and getting the PS3 Starter Pack. I literally just threw my receipt out the other day though.

 

[MarkC71]

I did have the receipt, and that's the only reason they gave me my money back. But she told me if I didn't have the receipt they could have done an even a exchange. So if you wanted to swap it out for a PS3 version I'll bet Toys R Us will let you do it.

That is what I'm hoping for.

If you swap, let me know your PS3 name and ill add you.

Sure thing! Mind you, I know nothing about PS3.

PS3 gamers...what size PS3 do you have? Is a 12GB to small for DI?

I run a game store and its hard for me to recommend the 12GB PS3 for anyone unless you know how to upgrade the HD yourself. (its not that hard)

You would be able to play DI ok on it, but if you do a lot of downloading (a very good possibility with DI) you may find yourself out of space very fast.

edited to add,

The uncharted bundle for $50 more that comes with a year of PSN plus is a good value.

I'd get a bigger size honestly. You may not need something like a 500 GB, but I'd get at the very least 80 GB. Like above poster said you may consider an uncharted bundle or something along those lines. Uncharted is a great series that you abosulutely should try.

This is good advice! I have an 80GB PS3 and it took me quite a few years to fill it but I have. I also highly recommend the Uncharted series as well but only if you like adventure games. If shooting people bothers you though I wouldn't get it there is a lot of gun play in that game but the truly fun parts of the game are really the action ones. The 2nd game is one of the greatest games ever made for a reason, so much fun and the way the story is presented in the 2nd one rivals many films. The 2nd one is so good though it kinda makes the 1st and 3rd game seem kind just ok but they are all fun and worth playing in my opinion. I played them all on easy and unless you are into collecting trophies it's probably best if you haven't played a game like that before.

I'm considering still getting Infinity but I probably will be getting it for Xbox since I just recently bought one and I have more room on it. Plus Xbox live is unfortunately way better for online play than PS3 even though PS3 is free to play online. I'm a bit worried at the glitches I keep hearing about but it seems to be the worst on Wii.

While 80 gig should be plenty, sony is no longer making those units. Right now sony is only make the 12g, 250g, and 500g units (all super slim units). You may be able to find some old stock on the slim 120, 160, and 320 units but most likely the prices will be the same as the current super slim units. The 80 gig unit is the "old" fat unit, you may be able to find one used at your local Gamestop or video game store, but honestly, for the money, I would grab a new unit as the old units tend to be at the end of the life span and I would not risk it. If you could find a used "slim" 120 or 160 unit that might be a good option.
