Could you explain?[/quote]
No, it's really probably best if I don't.[/quote]I think it'd be best if you did.  Otherwise, it looks like unmitigated snark from your end.

Well, if you're looking for deals on games, KB Toys might be a good place to start...

The TPIR electronic tabletop game has been reduced to $14.66 at Amazon, slightly less than half of list price.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say.

Price cut aside, I was very happy with the finished product, and still proudly display mine on my secondary Shelf of Awesome.

Even with the free-spinning wheel that doesn't so much as click between the spaces, and what seems to be an incredibly rudimentary implementation of a very limited amount of games?

Those things considered, $14.66 for a mini-Plinko board is approaching my threshold for reasonable.  It'll definitely be something I consider post-holiday.

The article also mentions Steve & Barry's filing for bankruptcy protection too. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait a little longer to get our Price is Right undies.

Two items of note at Target:

1) MDP board game is on sale for $18 (normally $30).

2) There's an interesting new TP electronic handheld game (site says "temporary low price", stores say "clearance") for $25 (normally $50).  Looks like you can plug this into your computer and download more questions or write your own.

Diff'rent strokes, etc....

It's actually the regular board game with an electronic question bank instead of the boxes of cards.  It apparently also has a timer built in to the unit, and the downloadable questions are free.

If it gets cheaper in the brick and mortar stores, I might take a flier on it.

Found J! Plug 'n Play, brand new for $5. Worth it?

Got one new from a local discount drug store for $2.49 on Wednesday but haven't dabbled with it yet.  The store had over 50 units left.

Just when I was hoping for a home version of You're In The Picture:

It's basically the same exact game, plus some dice.

You know, I'm committing logistical suicide by saying this, but the *IDEA* isn't a terrible one. That doesn't mean it makes good television....but it could be good for a few laughs at a party.

New Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game from Capcom is now available on iTunes for iPhone and iPod touch.

I believe this is the first home version to feature the new lifelines and the countdown clock.

Sells for $4.99. Requires firmware 2.0+.

[chad1m]

I just downloaded it, and let me say that it is VERY, VERY well done. All the new lifelines, rules (category menu), graphics, sounds and music. Ten different experts, taken from the real show, are available during the game. I'm impressed with how well done this is. Definitely worth your five dollars.

/Wait until you Phone-a-Friend. It's a trip.
