Oh, what the heck. I'll get a uDraw. I did love the Art Academy DS stuff.

How many of these devices did they make? It surely was a strong catalyst to have crippled THQ. And now THQ is out of business :( WTF!

Soon they are gonna need to star giving these away lol

I bought this game for $10 for my kid, he played it once and never touched it again. I tried playing it and it's pretty hard to do. I would easily take my $10 back, wouldn't spend $6 on it either.

They took a 100 million dollar write down from them so if imagine they made 1 million for each of the HD consoles.

I think some people expect too much. Myself as well as both of my sons enjoy using the udraw. The art aspect of it is pretty neat. Lots of designs to choose from, and what kid doesn't like to color?

I think people were mad at me for pointing out that they were paying more than they have to for it. Same thing with my Wii U comments and my comments that the 720 will be announced in a couple months. Oh but you're all right, I'm a fanboy....of common sense.

Because people will do what they want. I paid $10 for my sons for Christmas and it's $6 now. Oh WOW, guess I better get on a public forum and cry like a baby because I could have saved $4

No. People were insulting me and trying to shame me for telling people this would be cheaper.

This is CAG, what did you really expect? Start using your ignore feature, it works like a charm. Trust me, I have plenty of people on it

what does the udraw do thats special? for 6 bucks might just get it to add the hardware

While UDraw Instant Artist isn't that amazing (but it is just 'alright'). I think I may start using this tablet as a PC mouse when sitting on the couch. It's much slower than using a traditional mouse, but for a HTPC, when you're not at a desk, it's not too bad when you only use it briefly to play media (no mouse scroll feature though).

I have a $5 Best Buy certificate and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't considering this.

Kind of bummed about this. I picked up the Wii version for $10 at Walmart's Black Friday and was excited until I saw the Gamestop deal. Since I found out my parents were getting my son an XBox 360 and one of my local Gamestops had the 360 version and not the Wii version, I put one on hold. When I got there, they said someone else had already picked up my reservation. I was pretty furious with them, as my son had been wanting the Super Hero Squad uDraw game for a while, and this was my chance to get it cheap. Plus I realized it was easier to share the pictures he drew from the Xbox than it was the Wii (which I knew he would want to do for his grandparents). I went ahead and gave him the Wii version uDraw, which he was pretty excited about. He played it once and put it away, but it's mostly because he's been obsessed with his XBox and Skylanders game he got. I'm sure he would play it some more if he had it for the XBox. For $6, I would have used one of my rewards certificates to pick it up, but it's not available for shipping and not available in any stores in my area :(.

I do see the PS3 version availabe in my area. I'm debating on buying it and exchanging it elsewhere. I'm pretty sure I saw them at Walmart.

That's what I'd do in your situation.

My five and seven year old girls love the u draw and its games especially the art studio and the princess game. Too bad this didn't work out as it could have been a decent peripheral, but thq obviously put too much into it initially and only released a couple games for it on ps3 and 360. That made it easy to choose the wii version which has more games. For $6 I'll get a second as a back up in case it breaks. The cord does worry me a little.

The worst part for me is that after playing it a few times I find that for me (and my daughter) we'd rather draw on the iPad and now I'm stuck with this useless tablet.

I'm considering going the CheapyD route and throwing it in the trash.

If someone bought this for $10 could they PM it today, or you can't PM DOTD?

I figure this is worth it at the price point where a Blockbuster videogame rental was at not so many years ago. N for 1

Dollar more than my price point, but whatever. I'm getting it. It's gaming garbage, but I still want it.

got my pricematch of $2 back, from my previous purchase of $7.99.
