Black Friday Shopping Deals and Tips!
From finding the biggest sales to getting a great deal on video game consoles, our editors share their best tips for tackling the mall on Black Friday!
Has the Recession Affected Your Video-Game Play?
One area the recession has benefited: video games! Apparently, the dire economy has pushed the hours of video-game play up, up, up — and it's not all to say that people don't want to buy anything, because used-game sales are also way up.
That makes sense, since staying at home to not spend money would increase indoor activity, and if you couldn't avoid spending money on games, you'd choose the cheaper option.
Best Buy Kicks Off $10 Video Game Sale
Just in case you didn't get the memo, Best Buy has a sweet deal happening right now where sixty-six video game titles are on sale for $9.99 each. There's a variety of games for PCs, the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, and the Wii. My advice: If you were waiting to pick up Rock Band or any Sing Star games, now's a good time to scoop one up.

Are You Surprised Wii Sports Is the Best-Selling Video Game?
Software company VGChartz says that Wii Sports is the world's best-selling video game, which has raised more than a few eyebrows. I certainly credit the game for being a great introduction to the Wii itself (there's a reason that it comes with the console), and to selling people on the Wii and casual gaming in general.
Best-selling is certainly different than saying it's the best (you said the best for 2008 was the Wii Fit), and I also wonder if the fact that the sales of the Wii are so good that Wii Sports is getting the props because it's included.
Do You Like That Wii Music Doesn't Have Scores?
When I took Wii Music for a test drive last month, I was trying to figure out what I liked more (and less) about it than Rock Band.

They want you to "create" music and interpret songs in different ways, but it's not easy to get used to the fact that at the end of your round, you have no way to measure how you did.
