Disney Infinity musings

[PaulaVonSchweetz]

That is what I'm hoping for.

Toys r us emails reciepts also. Are you signed up to receive them?? You coukd use that one to return .

 

[*NikkiBell*]

I was able to return my Wii Starter Pack without issue. They looked the receipt up via my rewards card. I then found a fantastic deal on a PS3 bundle with three games including Lego Harry Potter! Woot! I was also able to reserve Woody, Jack Skellington, and the Toy Story Play Set at Game Stop.

What a difference between the Wii and PS3 version of Infinity. I am so glad that I switched!!!!

Guess what comes out 11/26?

 

[basketlacey]

My son got DI yesterday for his bday (xbox). So far he likes it. I watched some last night (he was doing the tutorials) but didn't play. I'm not really a gamer but I think I might like to play this with him!

I didn't see much in the way of deals right now for the add on pieces. TRU has the discs 2/$6 and the single characters 2/$20. Is there anything better than either of these?

 

[LionKingRules84]

Well I broke down and bought the starter set for Xbox yesterday and the Lone Ranger playset with it. If I enjoy what I have I'll consider getting more figures but since it's just me playing I'll be fine with this for now. I also bought one power disk pack and got the shield(don't know the cars character on it) and Cinderella's carriage. I also got the pirates booty with the starter set(not sure if everyone gets that or if it's random for each starter set).

Anyone know how the Cars playset is? Is it it just racing or are there other things you do in it? Also with individual characters if you don't have playsets for them can you only use them in the toy box and that's it? Just wondering since I want to pre-order Jack Skellington but if there is no 'Nightmare before christmas' world to play him in that seems a bit upsetting to me. Granted if I can build one though that would be cool!

Not that I know of. TRU will be having that sale through Saturday, and I believe there is a coupon floating around as well. I may have posted it previously?

I have the Cars set and love it! It has a variety of missions including some racing, doing stunts, etc. I'm actually surprised I like it so much being that those aren't normally my types of games.

Jack will only work in the Toy Box as will a few others set for release. Toy Story characters will be usable in the new play set coming out in October.

Okay. So hoping you all can help me. I kind of have a general question. We currently have a Wii and ***gasp*** a PS2! I have three boys that I only let play video games one day a week. Seeing as the Wii DI is so horrible we are considering buying a new game system then getting DI for them for Christmas. What would you all recommend? Ps3? Ps4? Xbox 360? Xbox one? What would be good for casual family gamers. What other features are available on them - Netflix, bluray, backwards compatible. Thank you so much for your help!

PS3, has everything you listed and some great titles. Plus online is not a paid feature.

None of the units available today are backwards compatible, other then the Wii U that you left off your list. Only unit on your list that does not have a bluray player is the xbox 360. All units will support netflix but the xbox units will require an xbox live subscription on top of your netflix subscription.

All in all I think a ps3 would be a great choice for what you're looking for. Don't let anyone tell you one unit is out right better then the other (ps3,360). Both units are good, some features may benefit you more then others.

Its to early to really compare the ps4 or the xbox one. Need to get some time with then first.

Looks like I would say PS3. It has Netflix, is a Bluray player, it has games for all levels and getting online with it doesn't cost any extra. Now if you are willing to shell out for PS4 or Xbox one especially at Christmas maybe one of those will be better buy if you were going out an buying it today PS3 is a good system for not too intense gamers.

Being a mom I waited to weight in..

I would go with ps3 or xbox360(which we just got)
Both of these will have most of the kinks work out... And should be easy to find answers to, should something go wrong
( Also This way no disappoints with a new/untested system)

If you get ps3 or xbox360 games will be cheaper then the newest systems as well.

Right before or shortly after the ps4 and Xbox one come out.. You should see some GREAT deals on the other systems..
My parents got us the xbox360 through toysrus.. It had the wireless contorller, kinect, and 2 games (adventures and disneyland). For $199.99


<<<<<<Review for the xbox360>>>>>>>>
We have never had a play station, so can't compare..

But the main reason my parents got the Xbox was to play games online with my daughter.. But also they wanted her to have kine
She uses her body as the remote, so there is no risk on remotes hitting the TV.. And she gets LOTS of exercise
We live in the northeast, were we get Lots of snow.. So they hope this can keep her busy during those long snow storms..
Kinect is normally a add on (find a good bundle pack with it, if its something you want)

Also There are lots of games for the xbox360.. There are TONS for younger kids as well.. And at GameStop they are cheap (4.50 for disney meet the Robinson) (14.99for Disney kinect rush at target)(wall-e 8.99 GameStop)

These were 3 we got this weekend and even I was playing them today!

Hope this helps..

I bought a PS3 the other day to avoid Wii issues and very happy with my purchase. Game Stop currently has a bundle for $249.99. It includes the console and three great games!

I am SO interesting in Infinity but am really getting hung up on buying it now with the next gen consoles out by Christmas. I own the big 3 now, PS3, Xbox 360 and a Wii, but will be getting a PS4 for sure. (Just think it offers me the most for the money).

I hate like anything to get involved with Infinity right now only to have to buy it again and start over once moving to the PS4.

What a dilemma!

Infinity currently doesn't have a PS4 version. If I had to guess, I'd say they won't until Disney Infinity 2 comes out next year.

Yeah, I realized, that, but I've read on a number of gaming sites it will most likely come sooner than later, even if a version 2. It looks very cool though, and I might just have to pick it up anyway.

I'm running into the same dilemma with Diablo III. PS3 version is out NOW, but the PS4 version will be out early next year. I hate console replacement time, LOL.

I thought I'd put a list together with things related to upcoming releases/events. Here you go:

Toys R Us Official Trading Event - 9/7 12-2 pm

Power Disc Pack - Series 2 Toys R Us Exclusive - 9/7

Jack Skellington Release (Toy Box Only Figure) - 10/1 (Pre-Orders Being Taken)

Woody Release - 10/1 (Pre-Orders Being Taken)

Toy Story Play Set - 10/22 (Pre-Orders Being Taken)

Wreck It Ralph - 11/22 (Pre-Orders Being Taken)


Frozen Toy Box Set - 11/26

Power Disc Pack Series 2 - 11/26

Ralph, Venellope Von Schweetz, & Rapunzel (Toy Box Only Figures) - RUMORED for Oct or Nov, 2013

Girl Power Pack (Rapunzel, Venellope Von Schweetz, & Violet (Toy Box Only Figures) - 12/10

Sorcerer Mickey Figure (Toy Box Only Figure) - 12/31


Note: You can already pre-order Woody, Jack Skellington, and the Toy Story Play Set at Game Stop. Walmart also has a pre-order for Woody.


ETA: I just saw this on Facebook and thought I'd share being that it is about Saturday's event at TRU. Disappointing...

"Coupons for event participants only. Event intended for children, ages 6-up. Parental supervision required at all times. All giveaways and event materials available while supplies last and distributed to participating children only. Limit one per child. Quantities limited; no rain checks."

From this we can surmise that:

- The coupon sheet that was leaked prior to this event will only be valid during and after the event, and not prior. Chances are if you bring a printed copy with you are store opening they will not honor it.

- All of us without children will be hard pressed to get a trick-or-treat bag, and anything else that is given away at the event.

Now, certain stores might not follow these guidelines, but since they are spelled out in the event details, most probably will. If you are an adult (like me) who was hoping to get some swag on Saturday, you might want to reconsider your plans.

That's still doesn't negate the fact that the TRON User Control circle Power Disc will be released at TRU on Saturday. At least that is something we can look forward to.

Thanks Nikki


Who else thinks they should done buzz and woody in the game set and have Jessie and bulls eye as seperate figures. I hope amazon get these because I have credit and I have their credit card but may have to break down and order them from else where.


It would be cool if they made a game like Xbox had with Disneyland but it be both parks and you be able to use any figure that dose not have a game already. Like jack skeleton and others it go nicely with soccer Mickey and chip and dale I am sure they will get their own game.

They knew we would be less likely to but Jessie separately. So they packaged her with the set.

Your right but still think people would of bought Jessie if you also came out with bulls eye. I guess it like they did with cars when they should of put lighting McQueen with mater but didn't.

 

[WDW Crawl]

I don't think that makes sense if Woody is toy box only since the Toy Story set is coming. Should work I'd think there.

Also, the lack of news on further playsets kinda bugs me and I hope TS isn't it until Infinity 2. If that is the case, I might consider selling off everything in one lump sale as I've beaten most everything.
