| shams said: 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) ...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.

Don't buy this! If you must have a PS3 this side of when the actual decent games come out (mid-2008), get the JB Hi-fi starter pack for $959, and then purchase VF5 for $80-90. Its $30-40 cheaper for the same stuff, less the $5 dollar coupons (what else would you purchase at Toys'r'Us i ask you? Especially seeing as they will no doubt have a one coupon per purchase condition.
Also, EB recently ended a sale where Oblivion and other hit 360 titles such as Gears of War were sold for $50
