FYI - servers are no longer live. You can't do any online features or plat the "game".

Bought this at Walmart a few months ago for $5 and returned it when I found out I couldn't finish the "game".

Edit: I think you also need 2 of those ankle monitors for something and box only comes with one. Don't remember for sure, look it up to confirm.

Well that kinda sucks. Anyone know if its worth playing for the offline features? And can anyone confirm or elaborate the two ankle monitor thing? I may just take it back if its not worth it.

I don't know about any ankle monitor but it does come with 1 monitor to put on your thigh. Why would they only include one if it requires two?!?!?!

I don't get the whole "complete the game" thing either. It's a workout guide. When you "complete" the game, are you fit and in shape and done with it?

My wife used it quite a bit and liked it. I never touched it. Kid's extra curricular activities ate up her free time to "finish" the game.

Thanks shadow, I'm thinking I may keep it. I don't care about the platinum and only really wanted it to try and get in shape (basically cardio). The reviews seem decent enough. Maybe you can answrr this for me. Are the online features important? is it just something that lets you workout with friends? (high scores or whatnot)

I'd like to know the same, I still have one unopened for PS3.

Honestly don't recall exactly but yeah, challenge your friends or something unimportant. There could be more, none of my expansive friends list was playing this for me to explore. Honestly was just too busy doing 12oz curls watching the wife in stretch pants...

Oddly enough, and not game related at all, I found the basic BD version of Goonies for $3 the other day. It was marked "as is" and was brand new and sealed and there wasn't a thing wrong with it. I didn't question it though.

I also saw a PS Move Bundle, game with only the one motion controller and camera, and it was $29.99. I would have bought it had it been the full bundle. It was some crap game, I don't even remember which one.

.....me too. The black ones. Id clearance that. Ha

That blows... well I hate to say it, but you're gonna have some competition in a month. I'm moving up there for school. I'll be living like literally 5 minutes from West Chester Commons lol. Anyways we'll have to gather our forces. As far as Johnson City / Bristol TN/VA... SFxT $8.98. Sports same price. 3ds kingdom hearts $8.98

No way dude. Stay where you are. We got enough people cleaning out our targets over here. I would know, I'm one of them

Seriously though, I wish I could for a SFxT for PS3, been to 4 targets and haven't seen one yet.

Long time reader, first time poster. I was at target yesterday and got Metal Gear collections and Street fighter x tekken, both for 360, for 12.98 each. Also saw Dead rising off the records for 8.98

Ankle vs thigh. It was months ago, I got the wrong body part.

A lot of people, like myself, like to complete/plat games. I don't want a game/workout guide that is missing advertised features because the online servers were shutdown. I don't use my PS3 to work out, I go to the gym for that. My PS3 is used for games.

Damn MGS PS3 is still $30!

Found a few of these yesterday.

Ugh ... if only I were so lucky. I've been looking for one for a Christmas present. ^^
That's a killer deal.

I've been looking for a cheap Move bundle for ages. Missed out on the LBP2 best buy bundle and my local target doesn't have any of these Sports Champions bundles either.

That bundle is missing the navigation controller, though.

It comes with everything you need out of the box. Pretty decent workout program and decent tracking of your exercise. Recommended if you want a guide/virtual game to help you get in shape. Platting is just silly since the point is to get in shape not pad some virtual score. The workouts are YMMV. Meaning getting plat doesn't mean you'll be in shape necessarily, just done everything to unlock the achievements.

Try Radio Shack? I found a Sports Champions Move bundle there for $32 a few weeks ago.
