Well - I just got home after a session at the gym, to find the latest Toys R Us catalog on the table. It has some interesting tidbits in it - thought that would interest a lot of people here:
1/ Neither the PS2, 360 or Wii have any advertising. Its a pretty small catalog, and its possible that both these consoles are doing well enough - or are just out of stock. Or it could be something else.
2/ There is a "sort-of" amazing PS3 deal available. Please remember that the PS3 was launched here no more than 6 months ago. That launch had the console + nothing --> $999AU:
PS3 Virtu Fighter 5 Pack
- PS3 console (probably the 60Gig, I think its the only one we get)
- Arcade stick
- VF5 + Motorstorm + Resistance (!!!)
- bonus controller (so it comes with 2)
- 5 x $5 off coupons
...for $1079. At launch prices, this would have cost close to $1500AU!!
Sony seem determined to offer MORE for the same price - rather than drop the price. Its still extremely expensive IMO.
To top this off, previously expensive PS3 titles - like Oblivion - are selling for just $70AU(!!). Would have launched for $119 I think. Clearance sale??
3/ PSP Slim pack:
PSP Slim + game + coupons --> $299
Pretty good price considering a normal PSP is around $300AU.
4/ DS Lite (pink) + game for $209AU (normal price)
Lots of DS games for $39AU, including some good ones.
