Are retailers just giving up on the PS3 this holiday season?

Q. Did anyone else notice in the Sunday paper that all the sales adds did not mention anything about PS3? All of them...Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Toys R Us, even Kmart. These sales adds had Xbox 360, Wii, PS2 (surprising) and PSP, but not one of them even mentioned that the PS3 existed. What do you think this means? Is the PS3 dead? Are all retailers tired of promoting a system that is not selling? What is your opinion?

A. Well, I see the new PS3 commercial every single day at least 3 times. I don't read newspapers, but I've seen a Walmart commercial just recently that was promoting the Playstation 3. Really, the newspaper isn't the best way to promote the PS3 and that's probably one reason you didn't see any PS3 ads. in the newspaper.

T.V. ads and internet ads are the best means to promote the PS3 because they reach a broader audience.

The PS3 is far from dead. The Sony consoles are some of the most popular consoles ever created, and the PS3's sales will pick up this holiday season, especially when the release of some big exclusives next year and with a good game selection as of now.

The PS3 has sold well in my opinion, considering that for about half a year, the PS3 was much higher in price to the inferior and unrealiable Xbox 360. I think that the PS3's console sales will surpass Microsoft's Xbox 360 sales by the end of next year.


Does anyone know of a modeling agency that works specifically with special-needs and disabled kids?
Q. I know that Toys "R" Us uses special-needs kids in their print ads all the time and other companies do as well. I found an agency called Beautiful Kids Inc. However, it seems that they are out of business - as their phone number has been disconnected and there is no website for them. Please let me know if there are others out there or if there is updated information for this one.

A. the place that i have seen, is the owners of the local stores using their own kids, or kids that they know, i don't have an agency around here either.


When these stores offer a $50 giftcard on Black Friday with a specific purchase,are U able to use it that day?
Q. There are 2 items at Toys R Us that I would like and one of them offers a $50 giftcard ad the other item is almost $100, will they let you use the $50 toward your 2nd item or do they put crazy restictions on the giftcard??

A. Well when me and my mom went on black Friday the cashier told her she can use it on a diffrent purchase, like only you can use it that day but it has to be on a diffrent thing. Like you can't pay both items together and use the gift card. That's what he told us.. If I were u is call your local target and ask, hope this helped somewhat :P


Parents, would you ever buy your child this toy?
Q. A McDonalds play set? (similar to those kitchen ones, but it looks like the the register area in a McDonalds). I was looking at the Toys R Us ad, and they were selling them...Oh, only in America would they have that kind of toy.

A. yeah probably if they were interested in stuff like that
why not?? it seems like an ok toy but if it had loads of parts to it then probably not because they just end up breaking or getting lost

If someone looses a gift card and you find it does it belong to you if no one reports it missing?

Q. I found a Toys R Us gift card. I reported it to Toys R Us in case someone reports it missing. Toys R Us put a freeze on the card. If no one reports it missing that money should not belong to Toys R Us. I had planed on donating it to charrity for Christmas. I don't think that Toys R Us should be allowed to keep it or donate it and claim it on their taxes. It doesn't belong to them.

A. Technically, in order for you to be able to claim the property (whether you use it yourself or donate it), you must make a good-faith effort to find the owner. That usually means placing an ad in the paper for a certain period of time (two weeks where I am). If nobody claims it; it's yours. In this case, it probably isn't worth it to advertise because of the costs.


Who would believe a toy heist would land you in prison?
Q. $2 million in toys stolen from Toys R Us in just about most states. Wow, they made more money than if they were hawking home grown grass!
Well Carol.....many thieves get their hands slapped and go to court for a fine. They could have pleaded they were kleptos and got off altogether!

Your question is interesting. I think people are getting a warped sense of what is legal and illegal and what they can get away with and what not. I know someone who went along fine then in the past year was in an accident and got 3 tickets. I told this person he could lose his license if he just kept going along and not paying attention. He got mad at me for telling him this.

I know someone else who picks up things if they are just sitting somewhere. I told this person that I was raised to not touch anything if it wasn't mine. They don't understand this. Have we lost our connection with reality?

Even if the law isn't working as in what happened in the OJ Simpson case when he got away with murder karmic law always works. He ended up in prision anyway.

Yes, it sounds funny to think a toy theif could land one in prison but this was huge and I like that I was raised not to steal a penny. I think people turn on programs like Fox news & the subliminals are turning them into robots. I think all the ads are making people sick and many programs are filled with messages that have people heading straight to their doctor for medication & the meds have stuff in them that make a person a klepto or an addict of some kind or even a murderer.

People need to really watch the input they are getting from the tv & radio.


What is the real downside to Walmart?
Q. There are all these ads on TV and the radio right now conerning the amount of unsafe products and food sold at Walmart. But they seem a tad one sided. I am not by any means a Walmart fan. I avoid going into one of their stores as much as I can, but it seems to me that they carry the same food products as any other grocer, and their toys - a big target in the ads - are the same as those sold at Target, Kmart, Toys R Us, and many others. What am I missing?

A. i really dont like walmart..
i dont know why..
but stuff there is cheaper..
im buying an 80 GB Zune from there for $11 cheaper than at any other store -$139


I am wondering what i have to do to get all the different holiday toy catalogs and ads and coupons from stores?
Q. like target, walmart, toys r us, etc. My mom gets big toy books and stuff around the holidays and I dont. Im just wondering how to get them?

A. Walk in the stores and sign up for their catalogs. Toys R Us and other stores like it will help you inside.

How do i get advertisements sent to my home?

Q. I live in a small town with only a walmart and a dollar general and I was hoping that someone could tell me how to get ads sent to my home from toys r us, target, and pretty much all other big retail companies so that I can use them at the walmart that is in my town.

A. Go to their on line stores and subscribe to their mailing list. They will be happy to mail you a catalog every month, plus you will get their special brochures. That applies to any store you can think of.
My home town is so small we do not even have a walmart.
