    On June 29th LEGO Harry Potter comes out. I want to get it for him for our Wii. Will there be some in stock at Target or BestBuy that day for me to go pick up? I know some of you geeks stand in line for games when they are first released and was wondering if the same thing happens to kid games like this.

    I'm confused. I see nothing from Sly and a baseball video from the other nerd.

    Some places have the option to reserve a copy ahead of time. If they have that option, you might consider it. If they don't have that option, the you probably don't need to worry about it because they don't expect it to sell out. You could call up one of those places and ask them if they have any opinion on it being a hot seller.

    Game Stop at Lloyd Center will reserve games if Best Buy won't.

    Don't bother calling HCP. Go pick up the game on it's release date and I guarantee it will be there.

    Yeah, don't call them up. I'm 100% sure they'll have it on release day.

    What he said!

    FYI - my 6 year old son doesnt like the Lego games on the Wii. He likes them much much better on the xbox360. We have all of the various Lego games.

    For the Wii, you gotta get Super Mario Bros Wii. It's fun, your kid will love it. Mario Cart is also fun, good game for the whole family to play together.

    I understood what the video was people, how does it apply to my situation? Is this some secret geek message I'm too cool and hip to understand?

    I bought Lego Star Wars for dirt cheap to give my brothers something to play when they come over... I ended up playing it most.. I love that game lol they are a blast. "cute and funny" for the kids, but the puzzles are challenging enough for adults.

    Alright, so now I'm getting a PS3. Wondering if you guys know how to attack it? BestBuy, Target some secret online website you guys know of? Bundles? Just the console? eBay? Craigslist? I see some have bigger hard drives then others, but I can tell you we probably won't even hook it up online and I know if I do, we won't download stuff. Who knows, but I guess I don't need the top of the line model. Any suggestions on my 20 questions?

    It might be standard with all PS3 systems but I thought of gettting one because of the blue ray function and I heard you can get netflixs through it.

    dont buy on ebay.. I cant tell you how many times people have boughten stuff, it works for a month, then dies.. with no warranty. You spend about $60-100 more new but its totally worth the sanity. Bundles are usually good deals to get games for free or cheaper than full price
