This could be very likely as it seems F.Y.E has been running a lot of promotions lately, perhaps to get more business, since they are usually pretty slow. They may be running their own promotion at first since they know the price cut is just around the corner. I checked on their site and didn't see anything and haven't been in my local store since last weekend (and didn't pay attention to prices on the PS3) but based on the sales they were having I think it could be very possible.

I'm glad I didn't hold out on the PS3 last November when I was contemplating getting it. I ended up getting a $100 giftcard with mine, so I kind of consider that as the console being $299, or at the very least paying full price but getting my first games and extra controller for free, so it was a good deal. I've had a lot of fun with the PS3 since November, so I'm glad I didn't have to wait for so long!

I never really had problems with Gamestop, though I kind of stopped shopping there when I recieved my first new, open game, just didn't like the practice or the idea. I've heard a lot of bad stories about them, so I'm glad I don't shop there anymore because it doesn't seem like it would be worth the hassel. I just prefer to shop at Amazon, in the end I can usually get a new game for less than Gamestop is selling used for and the service is a 100x better. I would shop at Amazon even if the price were higher because I think they are worth it, but the low prices is always a nice perk!

On a good note for Gamestop (:? dangerous territory, I know) the one good thing I got from Gamestop since being a gamer was my Wii. My family took advantage of one of the raincheck offers they had and was able to get me a Wii, so I was quite thrilled. However, they did require 100% deposit on the system and I was totally flippin' when I found that out because I was worried until I got it that there would be issues with it and they not have the system, in the end it all worked out, so everything is good! Even with that, I still don't think I would want to deal with Gamestop.

Kind of an odd combination, but Forza 2 and kind of a mixture of Mirrors Edge and The Bee Movie.

I will probably be moving on to Kameo and Bolt once I'm done with Mirrors Edge and the Bee Movie!

Since December 27, 2007... One of the happiest days of my life! I still remember them covering the system up so I wouldn't get attacked walking to the car, oh, such a great feeling!

32" Sony LCD. Works really good. Hate it for regular cable (not through the cable box) but looks great for DVD, Blu-Ray, games, etc.

Was it a the catridge yellow because your probably talking about Donkey Kong Land and yeah that was a great coversion to handheld. Sepewrath

Man, I don't think I've ever played a game for much over two hours. On occassion I have played a game several times in one day for two hour session. But, in general, I don't have that much time available where I could sit down and play all day (usually two hours is the max time I have available) and I also don't know that I could handle that long of gaming. I love gaming, but I don't think playing for a day straight would be something for me. I need food and sleep or I don't function right.

I wish I had more time to play, but even if I did I don't think I could play too many hours in a row, but gaming is one thing I definitely find myself getting lost in and looking up only to realize two hours had past in the blink of an eye.

I think it is an interesting concept. As to why people would buy this over getting a real bike, I think there are several reasons, some of which are:

Cost: If you want a good bike they can get to be somewhat costly and regular exercise bikes can be costly as well. Some people are trying to save money and while this game and peripheral are certainly not going to be cheap, it may be a much more cost affective alternative than a real bike. This is something the whole family can use whereas a family that has a husband, wife, teenage daughter, teenage son and younger son and daughter could require six different bikes depending on size and such. With a regular exercise bike people may find that it isn't as much fun, and the bikes that are like just the peripheral may be too boring for some people. You also have to consider the game will likely act as a fitness class and joining a gym or fitness class will certainly be more costly than the game and device.

Space: If you are living in a dorm room, small apartment, don't have a garage, etc. you may be very limited on space. You may not have the space to put it in a garage (or even the option) and it may not be safe to leave outside and a lot of people dont' like leaving their bikes in the house, for obvious reasons. This is something that can easily be stored in a closet and tucked away out of site.

Fun: The game itself should add a different element that can combine challenges, different surroundings and different workouts so that you are not constantly doing the same thing over and over. Generally most people stop exercising because they get bored or are no longer motivate and games can help to curb that in some situations.

Location: A lot of people don't live in areas where biking is a good idea. For example, if you live in a busy city you may not feel comfortable riding a bike a long the road and taking a big risk of getting in an accident. Not only do you take the chance of hitting something and falling of the bike into oncomming traffic, you risk not being seen or even someone just not being careful around you while driving and as a result getting hit. Also, a lot of people live in neighborhoods that are not necessarily safe, so riding a bike may not be a good option.

Time: For a lot of people everyday schedules get in the way of being able to do some of the things you want to do. If you work all day and take care of a family, you may only have the opportunity to go out and bike at night. For average riders this isn't always the best idea and it also isn't the safest idea in a lot of areas. For some people (i.e. single parents) even leaving at night may not be an option if you have kids and no one to watch them.

Seasons: The weather can be a huge impact on being able to ride. Rainy weather isn't the best conditions to ride in and when you just do it for fun, most people don't want to ride in the rain and obviously storms are a very bad idea. Rainy and/or cloudy conditions are also not very safe for people to ride in. Winter is an obvious problem for people that live in snowy areas. The snow makes riding a bike quite dangerous (especially on roads travelled by a lot of cars) and sometimes impossible. Summer can also pose its own complications. Here in Florida it can get really hot in the afternoon during the peaks times of summer and riding a bike outside would be very uncomfortable and dangerous if you don't know what you are doing.

Health: A lot of people are not physically able to ride a bike. Whether it is due to weight or some sort of mobility issue. This could allow people that can't use a regular bike to be able to get the exercise and benefits of a bike that they otherwise couldn't.

Obvioulsy, I think most people would rather get outside and ride a real bike, but there are a lot of situations where this just isn't possible and something like this would be a great idea. The Wii is known for having a lot of crazy accessories, but I do thinks that this one has some potential.

I go there on and off. I usually forget about it until after I turn the system off so I don't go as often as I would like. I think the videos are enjoyable to watch and I've found a few games that I otherwise may not have bought because of it.

I love the DS Download service and would love to see them offer more downloads. I never take my DS with my when I'm out and about and therefore never have it with me when I see downloads in stores, so can't take advantage of them. I'd love to try Starfy out, but the download is only available in store and I keep forgetting my system (not to mention I'd feel a little silly standing in the middle of the DS section downloading games while all the little kiddies were pulling their parents in to show them what they want :) )

I think it is a great channel and would love to see Nintendo use it more. Afterall, this is the only console left where you can't actually try a game before you buy it, so I would love to see more DS demos and some Wii demos as well!

Dat is sooooo pweety :cry: I have just the place for that with my other Wii games and it would fit so perfectly :D

I know I have a Donkey Kong game on an old gameboy, but don't know for sure which game it is and I loved it. I have never played any other Donkey Kong games, but from what I've seen they would totally be my type of game. I just can't get enough of Mario Bros style games and I think this would be so perfect.

I love how with all the great games out on the Wii, I still always find myself wanting more of the games I know and love from the past. Instead of moving forward and looking towards future games and new ideas, I'm thrilled to see Super Mario Bros Wii, but honestly, I don't think games will ever get any better than some of those old classics.
