I think that Scene It has better presentation (and better controllers), but Buzz seems fairer and more balanced in scoring. And of course, Scene It is a very focused game as it only covers film, while Buzz covers all kinds of trivia. Buzz also lets you upload and download user-created quizzes. If you're the kind of person who gravitates toward movie trivia (like me and my brother), there's the possibility that Scene It will be all you need. It's more likely, however, that Buzz's breadth and user-created content will swing you in its favor.

I gotta check this out today. There's been people wanting me to pick it up and play with them.

I'm rather surprised you say Scene It has better presentation

from what I've seen Buzz has a much more game show feel to it with the game actually reading questions aloud to you

Scene It doesn't do that

I agree, Buzz is far superior. It reads the questions for you. Much more casual friendly, and it feels like you are on a game show.

Buzz blows away Scene It in every way imaginable.

just to clarify, this game is $20 at Wal-Mart and Sears?

Thanks OP - Just picked this up as well. Store locater said 0 copies but I went for a look anyway and there it was! For anyone outside of Philadelphia, I can confirm that Levittown and Bristol Walmarts are out of stock. If I get a chance on lunch today I'll check a couple more and post if they have any.

I checked a Walmart near me (Chelmsford, MA) on my way into work and they didn't have it (only the PS2 version). :(

I will probably try another store this weekend, unless someone has an extra copy and wants to trade it for something on my trade list.

Last night I checked the walker springs and turkey creek location in knoxville, tn.. Neither of them had it.

This morning I went down to Sears and see if they had any, no luck. Then called the Maryville Wal-Mart location, I asked if they had any in, they said yes and asked them to hold it... SUCCESS! Got the last one.

Anyone who managed to get in on this deal want to start a gameshare group, so we can all get the addon packs for cheap?

I've been waiting for this to go on sale. According to the locator the stores near me don't have it though... I hope they are wrong.

I guess I wasn't so taken by the game show feel of Buzz (then what am I doing playing a trivia game, right?), and liked how Scene It would change up the scenery (no pun intended). You're certainly right, though, about Buzz reading the questions out loud. I guess I'd overlooked that because I'm a speed reader!

edison and piscataway wal marts in NJ do not have any copies left............May try sears.

Damn, there were a few last night. You went to the one on Centennial Ave.?

I agree that I actually prefer Scene It. I find the presentation of Buzz a bit annoying and it seems like it takes much longer to play a game even though there don't seem to be as many questions. I do like the design of the Buzz wireless controllers though.

None at Farmingdale, NY

Thanks to the OP. Snagged one.

Been looking at this bundle since last winter when the lowest price was $42.99 at Newegg. I don't have enough people often enough to play it but for this price it can always be sold off if I don't want it.

Wal-Mart seems to be a price drop everywhere. Sears is a YMMV. If anyone is in central FL, the Ocala Sears in the Paddock Mall had one MAYBE two left when I left there yesterday.

Thanks OP,

Been wanting this for some time now. Scored one, tagged at correct price, at a Walmart just a mile down Ft. Gillem, Atlanta, GA. There was 2 more available when I left.

Yeah, I guess some lurkers got to them first. And no, I went to Watchung Hills
