Question about Gameboy sale

[welovedisneyx4]

I was wondering if anyone remembered from last year if there were any Black Friday or any other big or special sales on Gameboys. We are getting DD one for Christmas and would love to find a good deal on it. I am excited that the price came down 20.00 from last year, but I want more!!!! LOL!

I believe last year some stores had a package deal that if you buy a gameboy you would get a certain game with it but it was about the same price as if you would buy a game and gameboy. Usually with electronic games, no one goes down on their prices. What you could do is buy the gameboy now for the price of $80 and you can always return it if you find it cheaper somewhere that way you make sure you have it for the holidays. do the same with the games. By christmas it is very hard to find any of the popular games.

Thanks buzz2400, that is good advice that hadn't crossed my mind right now.

The price came down because they are coming out with a new version on November 21. Once that is released, maybe they will go down more.

We already preordered the new one for ds (his birthday is the 21) and are turning in his old one plus a few games he doesn't want anymore for a credit (75.00) towards the new one.

I don't know if you have a meijers near you, but they usually have really good video game software thanksgiving day and black friday specials. They might run a good special on the gameboy too.

I didn't know they were coming out with a new one. I've been racking my brain for gifts for DS (11) for this holiday. He loves his gameboy SP-- may be time for an upgrade.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I know I saw a GameBoy Advance last Black Friday for 45$ (it could have been the regular one, but I didn't care). I remember this because I was not able to go shopping and I was majorly bummed!!

This was at Walmart. I picked up my mail on Monday after Thanksgiving week-end and read about it!! I hate seeing all the deals I missed!

Just an FYI, Toys R Us is running a special right now.

You can do it online too, and I believe it is free shipping too!

I went to the store yesterday!

Here's the link:

Nintendo DS

If you preorder the system, preorder a game or two also, especially if he likes the Mario games. I understand the Mario game is likely to go fast.

MCazer,

Thanks for the information about the Gameboy SP special at Toys 'R Us. I just ordered the package for my DS for Christmas. He has been wanting the Gameboy SP for a long time. I don't know if he will like the Tony Hawk game, but he can try it out and see what he thinks.

Thanks again!
