I don't know if this has been posted yet or not but all of the Tv Games were just marked down to $4.99 at GameStop today.

www.GameStop.com (http://www.gamestop.com/search.asp?keyword=tv+games&platform=0&filter=0&lookin=title&rangeFrom=0&rangeTo=all&genre=0&selection=ALL&searchtype=adv&sortby=title&OrderAscDesc=Asc&imageFlag=show&statcd=&searchbutton.x=101&searchbutton.y=8)

There's a Free shipping code too.  Too bad they've all been sold out since much earlier this evening. 


But while you're here,  here's a tutorial about how you can post links in these forums:

(1) Type the word that you would like to be hyperlinked.  For this example, we'll just use the word "link"

(2) After you've typed the word "link", highlight it by selecting it with your mouse.  Double-clicking works just fine.

(3) Now, go up to the 'tag' buttons and look for the one that'll create your hyperlink.  it looks like this: (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/Themes/classic/images/bbc/url.gif)   Click on it.

You'll now notice that your word "link" is surrounded by the URL tags.   It will look like this

Code: [Select]
[url]Link[/url]
(4) Go to the first "url" and add an equal sign after it like this:

Code: [Select]
[url=]Link[/url]
(5) Right after the equal sign type, or paste, the URL you would like to be linked.  It will looks something like this:

Code: [Select]
[url=http://www.whatever.com/thisisanexample.html]Link[/url]
Now when you hit the "Post" button, you won't have some huge link in your post which sends the forums scrolling off the edges of the screen.  Instead, you'll just have the word "Link" which, when clicked, will take your readers to whatever link you've added.

Sorry, I knew how to post a link.  I was just feeling lazy at the time and didn't realize it would make the forum scroll off the edges like that.

They may be sold out on their website but they still have them in the stores.  The one near my house has over a hundred of them.

Yes they are the same price in store.  And the prices are the same at EB Games too since they have merged with GameStop.  All of the TV Games have been marked down to $4.99 except for the Buzztime Home Trivia System which is still $19.99.

They have a "Williams" Tv game?  W/ Defender?  That would be sweet!

Cool.  Some people don't know so I figured I'd help :)

Wow!  When I read the thread on other 'deal' sites, people were already reporting that their B&M locations didn't have any.  Good to know that they might still be available at some locations. (not for me though, I already have a Jakks Pac and a Ms. Pac that are just collecting dust.  One of these days I'll put together a bartop... one of these days.... :))

thanks for the heads up, I haven't gone to the normal deal sites lately, so I would have missed this.

I had my girlfriend stop by the store today and she found 2 wireless Ms. Pacs and 2 wired Ms. Pacs.  Not bad for $20, and now I have a few reasons to make a bartop based on bishmaster's plans.
