It's that time of year again, where the kids do their Christmas lists and we parents start freaking out about "helping Santa" find the items!

Last year it was a Wii, this year it is Guitar Hero - World Tour Band Kit for an xBox 360.

We've tried GameStop and they are sold out. We'll keep checking with them, but if anyone sees them somewhere else we'd be grateful for a head's up!

Cheers! M2

FWIW, Wiis are still scarce. I haven't seen one in a store for months.

We went into the new Bust Buy in Alamo ranch the other day and they had a huge stack right as you go in the door.

My kid's Wii gets played with about once every 2 months

I guess I shouldn't complain, they just aren't huge gamers. Which is actually a good thing.

I've seen the Wii in the AR Best Buy and Super Target lately. It's almost depressing seeing them just sitting there and nobody fighting to get them. Pretty amazing that it took about two years to get to that point.

I did a quick search in some of my lesser known hiding places for that Guitar Hero World Tour for the 360 and it is a hard one to find. I did find it for the Wii on Dell.com, though: Dell : ACTIVISION Guitar Hero World Tour Kit - Wii : Games : Home & Home Office (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Games/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A2023 597 - broken link)
Might want to call them and see if they have any 360 versions hiding. They're one of the last places people think of when it comes to video games.

it's available at bestbuy.com http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8872482&type=product&id=12103774 85183 (broken link)

The Wii version is WAY cheaper though. Like almost half the price

Thank God for the red ring of death.

I don't think our 360 will be back from the dead before Christmas. I need to get off my butt and call them, so I can send it back in for a replacement. Yeah, let me get right on that.

Actually, they get one back to you really quick. They also sent an extra face plate and an extra hard drive with ours. The whole thing took less than 10 days..

Huh? Can't hear you. We have bad connection.

You're not helping me out here. Between $60 games, the XBox live subscription, feeding him, and slapping braces on his teeth, I'm never going to have a penny for myself, ever! At least if the system is broken, it's just a matter of food and ortho bills.
