I'd offer to buy you one but then with the shipping I don't think it would be worth it.

My suggestion keep checking the flyers >

On an off note someone in my family mentioned there were other types for $12-13 somewhere else

Here in NJ target was running a sale for $12 on any TV games joysticks.  I got my 2 pack at walmart but wound up at Target also.  They didn't have any Pac/Ms. Pac sticks there but they did have quite a few others.

Tried the black friday shopping experience. Let me say this, people are damned rude about their shopping. I knew they had those sticks on sale and thought about picking up a pack if there were any left. After the forty people in front of me cleared there were no joysticks to be had. I was continueing my shopping and being rammed in the butt with  shopping carts, I noticed that there were a lot of people with 5 or more of those two packs in there cart. I just doesn't seem fair to me. Even if it is first come first serve, a limit on the amount of the items could make it a little more fair. Not to ramble but it seems like these people were buying them to probably re-sell them, they didn't exactly look like the 30 and below demographic. ::)

You also have to take into account that these would make great stocking stuffers.  For $10 bucks a game you can give them to grandkids, etc etc.  I'm not saying your wrong, but you can't just say they are going to resell them.  Plus, they don't go for a ton more on eBay anyway....

If there were more than one pack left at my Walmart, I would have bought them.  I probably would have bought 3 or 4 packs if I could to use as gifts and possibly hack some.

My point is that there weren't any left, and from looking at the pallet there wasn't that many to begin with. I was there for 45 minutes, I missed out on the joysticks and a piano toy for my girlfriends daughter.  I did however pick up a cheap dvd player. Seemed like everyone had one in there cart. By the time I was done there was still two pallets of dvd players left.  Seems  like I got the run around on the supply and demand of this christmas shopping day. Maybe next year the demand for the joysticks will be low enough I can pick them up for next to nothing.
