If you're using the Trap Team portal with earlier games, you have to take out any traps. My 4yo and I jumped on the Skylander bandwagon late, so we only bought Spyro's Adventure on Sunday. Booted it with the Trap Team portal and got an error saying it didn't recognize the series 1 figure. Took...

I went about a week or so without Gold. I eventually got an offer on the dashboard for $36 for a year (just have to remember to turn off auto-renew). I eventually caved and bought it on Oct. 28th.

Not in my experience. Some stores might operate that way though.

Yup, if they start ringing up at $1 off, that means 50% is coming. :bouncy:

I was at my local TRU on Saturday (Westland, MI). It looked they reset & expanded their Lego section. At least 4 TS Western Train Chase (7597) in mint condition showed up on the shelves as a result. I want to say they rang up at $65? A couple TRU exclusive Dino Hunter sets showed up as well...

Simpsons LEGO!? I'm going to have to join the AFOLs crying over this. The reason I'm upset is that this will lead to my financial ruin. The horror! The horror ...

Project Spark is that game making title MS showed during E3 (and their E3 keynote).

Hopefully it's just the input (mic) channel that won't work on the Xbox One. I love the mic on my x31s and it'd be a shame to give it up but if the Kinect 2's mic work as well as they did in the demo's I've seen and audio still works, it's not that big of a deal. Maybe even better if it only...

I'm not really concerned about my connection, I'm concerned about Microsoft's. It's unlikely they're going to be running One servers in 10-15 years. I've never sold a single system, I play everything in my collection from time to time. I'm not interested in a system that will be a brick in 10...

I wouldn't necessarily pick Crackdown over the other franchises mentioned but I definitely had a good time with both Crackdown entries. Although Crackdown 2 was essentially a mod or DLC packaged as a full retail release, I still had fun with it.

This doesn't belong in the deals section! You can get buy all the individual components for about £22k ($33k) less. Seems a bit high for a custom paint job. If you still think it's a good deal, I'll only charge $15k to crudely spray paint whatever you want on whatever car you want. You don't...

I'm in Michigan. I'm guessing MS sells ads on a weekly basis and based on demographic info that they can discern and collect from XBL subscribers. The two weeks prior to After Earf's theatrical release will probably be when Columbia spends the biggest share of their ad budget and thus pay MS...

Quick note on that, a Wii is probably the easiest way to play GC games in 480p (for games that support it). A quick search shows there's finally 3rd party cables that might let you do 480p with a GC (news to me). Prior to that, the GC component cables were getting incredibly expensive. Plus...

After Earf showed up for me last night for the first time. Got my avatar spanx but holy hell does that movie look bad.

Like me! This game was on the periphery of my radar, so I didn't know it was a Nintendo/GS exclusive. I figured there would be some point it could be had for $15 or less which is my usual game purchase price. I didn't catch wind of its rarity until this thread was in the main deals forum and by...
