half off is not unreasonable for one day on black friday.. no matter how good the game. someone will have it that low.I don't understand what's up with so many people thinking it'll be this low... That's some mighty wishful thinking. I don't even think the first Skylanders SP has ever gotten that cheap. I'd be surprised if it's anything lower than $45-$50, that's just too steep of a price cut for something that seems to be doing well and will probably only become more popular.
You know what happens when you assume things....half off is not unreasonable for one day on black friday.. no matter how good the game. someone will have it that low.
when did I say "assume"?? I said it's not unreasonable for a good game to be half off on BLACK FRIDAY. It's a one day sale, not a price drop. That is not an assumption, that is a fact.You know what happens when you assume things....
I'm not personally thinking there will be an amazing price cut. Instead, I'm thinking at least one store will have some kind of exclusive pack-in for Black Friday, such as another crystal character or some other gimmick (glow in the dark, pre-release character, unique power disc, etc.).I don't understand what's up with so many people thinking it'll be this low...

I agree, sorry if my post was off topic, was just responding to another poster that I really disagreed with.I don't know why we are all blabbing about WM and it's employees when we could be talking about Disney Infinity.. But I will jump on this off topic too..
The point is, regardless of how you get treated ... YOU should always hold YOURSELF at a higher standard. You can't control them.. nor what they thing.. nor how their day is going.. but what you can control is YOU.
Even if someone treats you like crap.. doesn't mean you have to do the same. Karma tends to handle those who dont do the right thing.. and will continue to do so.. so why ruin your karma just becaues someone wants to be a turd.
Now back to our normal thread topic? Or shall we go on about crap we can't control?
Has anyone tried to play two of the same characters on the same pad yet? Just curious...
My mother and son played the Cars playset with reg McQueen and crystal McQueen with no issues, but I am unsure if the game sees them as two separate characters or not.Has anyone tried to play two of the same characters on the same pad yet? Just curious...
No worries, I'm 28. My girlfriend laughs at me (in a "that's so cute you're frustrated at a game designed for kids"kinda way) while i play, but it's fun. It's a great time wasting kind of game.I'm nearly 27 but just watched a gametrailers review on this and it looks... very fun. I'm tempted!
After all I need something a little light hearted after Splinter Cell.
EDIT: Sorry for posting this in the deals compilation thread.
But how? They can't provide new characters that aren't already on the disc because then people without Internet wouldn't be able to download the levels. Imagine little Johnny getting a Star Wars play set at Christmas for his never-been-on-the-Internet Wii and finding out the characters aren't recognized by his un-patched/no-DLC version of the game.What is this about there being a new base game every year? I've seen 2 people say it now and I've seen this nowhere else. This game seems designed for infinite expansion, not reiteration.
I believe it does see the crystal characters as separate characters. I was watching a video about the pantheon thing with all the character statues and if you go out back, there's a whole other section dedicated to the crystal characters and there appeared to be around 6 to 8 spots.My mother and son played the Cars playset with reg McQueen and crystal McQueen with no issues, but I am unsure if the game sees them as two separate characters or not.
I would wait for future expansions before comparing. I could easily see them releasing weak expansions in the future. They had a ton of time to work on the starter edition and the release sets (they even delayed the game) but once the game is released they are on a strict time table and are highly pressured to get the games out on time and crank them out every 4-6 months. Hopefully they will still be good but who knows.So if you think of it that way, the 3 "games" that are included in the Starter Pack are worth at least $60 and each expansion we got for $17.50 is also worth $20 each (and some people might value them higher - I'm just being cheap ). That's without even considering Toy Box mode or the figures themselves. So, yeah, I've done a 180 on this game and actually think it is a pretty good value now. And my basis of comparison is Skylanders. The expansions that came with that (for $25) were pathetic in comparison.
We started playing the Lone Ranger one tonight. Sure enough I don't like that as much as MU, but then it is more the subject matter there than anything else. I never even saw the movie, and barely remember Lone Ranger TV reruns from when I was a kid - just not attached to those characters. But I am also starting to see a little repetition (the horse races are exactly the same as the bike races in MU minus the tricks).I would wait for future expansions before comparing.

The release delay was actually not development-related. Disney had the game finished and ready to ship in May, but their retail partners (have to assume Walmart and TRU) came to them and asked for release to be pushed back into late summer so that kids would be buzzing about it when they went back to school. Not a bad strategy.I would wait for future expansions before comparing. I could easily see them releasing weak expansions in the future.

Or they could release an add-on disc that installs new content to the HDD, much like the Fallout 3 add-ons.If you own the portal, they could release a new disc with new content (a la Skylanders)
Huh, pretty cool. I wasn't terribly enthused about a Crystal Lightning McQueen figure, but that may push me over the edge into picking one up eventually.I believe it does see the crystal characters as separate characters. I was watching a video about the pantheon thing with all the character statues and if you go out back, there's a whole other section dedicated to the crystal characters and there appeared to be around 6 to 8 spots.
I see one for Marvel but there might be licensing issues with Hasbro, I don't know if figures like that would have a conflict of interest. I guess the same could be said about Star Wars but I don't see it as being a big money maker.I bet you guys anything that Star Wars and Marvel will get spin off games, not characters added to the main Disney infinity game. Why add characters when you can sell a whole new game called Disney Infinity: Star Wars Universe and Disney Infinity: Marvel Universe, each with their own $75 dollar starter sets. ;-)
While I agree with you, Disney was playing it safe by launching two playsets on recently released films: Monsters University & The Lone Ranger, (Which I'm sure they were hoping would have been more successful, of course.) and two of their biggest franchises: Cars & Pirates.I agree, sorry if my post was off topic, was just responding to another poster that I really disagreed with.
Yes, the game looks like a lot of fun, I've been on here waiting for a good time to get the Starter Pack 20% off of it in its first week isn't bad. I'm saving a lot of money for an XB1, so not entirely sure if I want this game at MSRP, especially when I will want other playsets for it (Cars and Lone Ranger look like a lot of fun, and Toy Story will most likely be great). It does make me sad that they are going to have an Infinity out every year, it could have been 1 game that remained in print and always had more toys and playsets to add to it, but I suppose that would require an online connection for updating it.
Has it been confirmed if Toy Story is the only new play set coming out? In that case for the first game there would be:
Monsters University
Incredibles
Pirates
Cars
Lone Ranger
Toy Story
It's somewhat disappointing if this is all the first game ended up being as there are so many major franchises being neglected. All I see at this point makes me think the game should be called Pixar and Johnny Depp Infinity. I want to see something like:
Mickey Mouse
Snow White
Dumbo
Pinocchio
Peter Pan
That being said I know I will get Infinity 1 at some point as obviously it interests me enough to keep checking this thread for deals. Just think that they had a weird selection of playsets, but maybe it was the best way to play it safe, financially.
Thank you for this...I placed an order online to pick up at store, and it went through at the Cottman store!If anyone in the Philadelphia area is looking for the crystal lightning mcqueen, TRU Cottman and Arimingo stores are showing OH stock on the website. Good Luck.
Uh, yeah: $4.99 + $5.16 shipping. That is ridiculous. I can only assume that the will show up in store again (still none within 50 miles of me right now though).TRU now has the exclusive power disc package available for home delivery.
Too bad shipping costs more than the item itself...
I bet they are overpriced too, I can only imagine what the singles cost, most likely closer to $20.Got a chance last night to try out the set and it all seems good.
Guessing the set I bought was a return from someone who picked up the wrong version. Regardless, seems new and can't complain about the price I paid
Only thing I haven't tried is the code on the card. What's that for anyway?
And since I was at D-land yesterday, I asked if the park was doing anything special (events, giveaways or special figs). Only thing happening is a BIG ol' DI demo area in the Innovations center and they're selling the regular game and figs in one shop on Main St.
OK, thanks for that.The codes are to make the figures playable in the PC and iPad versions of the game. But I don't think we know exactly what that means yet...
I was really more interested in knowing if they were doing something special, kinda like the Mickey fig early sneak peek.I bet they are overpriced too, I can only imagine what the singles cost, most likely closer to $20.
no new moves. level-ups grant spins to unlock more goodies in toybox mode. that's it.So, I've only put in about 1/2 hour, just enough time to do the intro & a couple of Mr. Incredible challenges.
It seems like your character doesn't level-up. But you do get tokens to unlock more toys. Is that right? Or do your characters unlock more abilities as you play.
http://youtu.be/gSBfiulE9TADidn't even bother to look at the pricing since stuff is usually marked up 50%, when compared to the real world. Think they're gonna put a Starbucks into the park too; can't wait to see what those prices are gonna be
DLC isn't an issue for 4 out of the 5 platforms.Or they could release an add-on disc that installs new content to the HDD, much like the Fallout 3 add-ons.
Stupid PS3... get your act together Sony! I want my X game chatGuess which platform is holding it back?
I know that people like to crap on the Wii, but honestly even if it was just a 360/PS3/Wii U game they would still have the same problem. The game is meant for kids and a lot of them have systems that are not connected to the Internet. With new $200 PS3 and 360 systems they are just as cheap and accessible as the Wii was in its heyday. They wouldn't be able to make play sets and figures that didn't work "out of the box" for those systems either.DLC isn't an issue for 4 out of the 5 platforms.
But to prevent confused-as-shit parents, they have to cater to the lowest common denominator.

I think I would pass on Lone Ranger, but I definitely want to score that Mickey figure!
They are trying to give it some exposure.I would also skip the Crystal Lone Ranger with how bad the movie dod you would think they would have scrapped that figure.
