    One and Only "____ is wrong with my Wii" General Questions/Help Topic.

    I tried to search for this, but I have my wii hooked up to to a Sony Wega 27" CRT using the Yellow video cable (is that "composite"?). I get a lot of artifacts on the picture, particularly in the white backgrounds (Wii Menu, SSBB, etc.). Is it due to the cable? Also, it is oriented...

    Rock Band Drum kit $67 at Sams Club

    Harsh. I think it was a legit question. Nothing about "Drum kit" says to me that it doesn't include a game, and sales of GH guitars are often disclaimed as "does not include game," so I rise to his defense. Frankly, I think it would be a smart move to sell individual instrument w/ a game in...

    Austin Tx Walmart @290 and 183

    Cool, thanks. Do these fit a DS lite without protruding, or are they the old DS phat packs?

    Contest (CAG Foreplay #30): Win Super Mario Galaxy

    Loch Ness Mushroom --- Mario turns into that big purple Loch Ness creature from NSMB (and also Mario 64?). Would make for an entertaining swim level. And he could eat the manta rays from SMG (I hated racing those).

    Best Online Deal/Sale 2007

    This thread makes me sad that I missed out on some great glitches . . . I will have to read up about this "trampoline" coupon at TRU and the $44 off of $44 using google checkout. What a shame I wasn't cruising the boards when those went down. My nomination is vague, but I recall a deall last...

    Wii game for 10 year old - $20-$30

    I will take a look at the chicken little and the rayman games. As an update, I went in to TRU on Friday and picked up Shrek the Third plus The Bee Movie--both were 50%, plus w/ the Activision special Shrek ended up at as B1G1 50% off again. So total for both was 32.50 (Shrek: 15-50% = 7.50...

    TRU Doorbusters Dec. 14/15 (Naruto: RON - $39.99, Madden 08 PS3 $39.99, and more)

    Just a heads up for additional savings: I went in to pick up Shrek II ($15) and saw the sign (and remembered) about the deal for B1G1-50%off. So I asked the clerk if I got Shrek plus the Bee Movie would I end up with both discounts? He said no. Low and behold, the receipt prints out at...

    Wii game for 10 year old - $20-$30

    Thanks! She would love it if I can get that game. I asked her what her favorite movie was (shrek the third) her favorite GBA game (shrek the third) and what she wanted to be when she grows up (shrek the third). Okay, I'm kidding about the last one, but she likes the franchise and I doubt the...

    Oh good idea! Is there much play time in that game? I will check the reviews.

    Wii game for 10 year old - $20-$30

    Very helpful suggestions---thank you both. As to SMG, I'm sure her parents will get that one for her if she asks, so I wanted to get her another game that (does it make me cheap) was a little less expensive. Unless of course some knows about a great deal on SMG -- I want one for myself...

    Wii game for 10 year old - $20-$30

    I'm a little out of my element here, so I was hoping y'all could help me out. My much younger sister is 10 years old and will be getting a Wii from her parents this year for Christmas. I would like to get her a game as present. I'm looking for a good deal on any game appropriate for said type...

    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) -- $20.99 from Amazon

    With spring coming, I needed new drip pans for my weber grill, and at 4.49 they are the perfect filler. Nice. Now I need to chill out. I've bought 5 DS games in the last week --- and my DS hasn't even arrived yet.

    Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (DS) -- $20.99 from Amazon

    As soon as I find a 4.01 filler, I'm in on this. Never played any Castlevania (shocking?), so I thought I'd start here. There's no problem starting at the end, is there?

    Some New TRU Clearance starting Dec 26 -updated 12/24-

    Dropped by TRU in Falls Church, VA and picked up Polarium ($5) Metroid Pinball ($10) and the first Pheonix Wright ($20). Sounds like the Metroid Pinball price was too high if some stores have it for $5. Is it worth keeping at 10? What about Pheonix Wright at $20? I thought I read that it was...
