I just think they could make it a lot better. i have no interest in signing up for netflix, but if they made it so i could watch all the new releases on my wii then i would be all over that. I don't like the whole mailing idea that Netflix uses. Just make me pay a fee, and let me watch movies when i want off of my wii.

I don't see that type of service going for 9.99/month. That's more of an OnDemand type thing. Can you imagine the backlash from studios if that was even attempted?

I've seen about 6 copies of that game at EB's here in San Francisco/Bay Area. If its really that rare I may pick up a copy or two >_> lol

DJSAV_101

I don't really believe that it's rare, but you know how GS/EB is with their trade-ins... a game this old should fetch no more than $7 (store credit) from them. What made me 2nd guess was the fact that they list this title as one of the "qualifying" trade-in titles for that "$20 off anything" offer. Look at the other titles on the list. 98% of them are new, popular releases.

I'm from the Bay Area also (Daly City) and when I didn't even find the game listed on the GS/EB website, curiosity kicked in and, while at the mall (Serramonte), I tried to see what a used copy was going for. It was only 1 store that I checked, but they had no used or new copy.

My daughter used to love this game but hasn't really played it much since school started. If it's going to be one of those hard to find titles (regardless of price), it's better off if I hang onto it.

BTW... Tanforan in San Bruno had a couple used copies of Zack & Wiki for $12.99. I picked one up.

First off, I'm guilty of trading in my old games to GS/EB even though I know that the value they offer is borderline criminal.

This trade-in offer was recently posted on their website: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/specialty/tradeins/20off/

The only "qualifying" game that I would be willing to trade in for this offer is WW:SM, but then that got me thinking... "Why would a launch title be included in this offer and why does it seem to be the only launch title qualified?"

I searched through the Gamestop site to see what the rate was for a used copy, but it's not listed in their catalog. At their store last night, I checked the racks for a copy but didn't find one either used or new.

eBay has new copies going from $60-$70 and used copies in the $35 range, which is still pretty high for a launch title.

My question is... Is this game going to be or already one of those hard to find gems like MvC2 on DC, PS2, and XBOX? Should I just hang onto it and skip this offer?

I was a good 5-7 feet away. Just bugged me that I was still able to move the cursor when I unplugged the sensor bar.

I have a launch Wii that hasn't been played in a couple of months. I powered it on today could not see any of the little hands (cursors) from the WiiMotes. I couldn't select anything. I've tried power cycling everything (unplugging all cables, restarting the wii, re-synching the WiiMotes), but no luck. I started randomly moving the WiiMote around and got one of the cursors to appear. I held the position (90 degrees from the sensor) and tried messing with the sensor settings, no luck again.

The weird thing is that after moving the sensor, the cursor did not move. I unplugged the sensor bar from the Wii but was still able to move the cursor around.

Could it be that my sensor bar went bad?

Thanks in advance!

[QUOTE="Freaky-N-Nasty"][QUOTE="young_doe"] Are you actually going to buy any of these games? Dont get me wrong these games are great but the sales on the PS3 software tells me that cows like to brag about games instead of actually purchasing them..mtron32
Yes i am, I'm buying All of it..I'm buying 2 copies of uncharted and demon's souls just too hurt M$ sales.

this has to be the stupidest remark I've heard on SW in a loooooong time.

It could be worse. He could be buying 2 copies of each to... I don't know... play through it a 2nd time maybe?
