First up: The Products
Where to buy: Try Wal-mart, Target, Best Buy and Toys ‘R Us (in that order)
If you go to Wal-mart, you can pick up some used Wii games as well.
"With the Pro console we are dropping the price down $50 to $249 while supplies last. Moving forward we will have two, the $199 Arcade and the Elite console for $299."
The only difference with the $299 Elite versus the pre-price cut models, is the $299 does not include an HDMI cable.
Where to buy: Gamestop, Best Buy, Target, Wal-mart (in that order)
Amazon announced today it would sell the Palm Pre for $99 with two year contract. It’s a great phone, often compared to the iPhone sans all the apps. This deal is only available through Amazon right now, so don’t go down to your neighborhood Sprint store and expect to pay less than $150 for it. Hey, that just means more time for watching football.
This game will be worth watching with lots of fun elements in it. We’ve got mobile quarterback versus mobile quarterback , Illinois’ Juice Williams up against Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor, both teams coming off of wins and Illinois hoping to upset Ohio State to vault them back into the top 25. Illinois came into this season with high hopes , but were quickly disappointed a 37 – 9 humbling at home to Missouri. Hopefully Illinois will live up to its potential and pull off an upset. Ohio State is still vulnerable after almost losing to perennial whipping boy Navy in week one. Tune in at 3:30 ET.
#6 Cal (3-0) vs. Oregon (2-1)
As the Cal Bears and the up and coming Heisman candidate, Jahvid Best look to extend their good fortune against the Ducks, they just may do so. However, Oregon is coming off of a big win at home against 16 games-in-a-row winner, Utah. They’ll be looking to ruin the season of Cal as well in this big Pac-10 matchup. Catch it at 12:30 p.m. PST.
The top five teams this year have definitely been in danger more than once. We’ve already seen some big ones fall, most recently Ole Miss, and Oklahoma to BYU at the start of the season, so if Alabama thinks this’ll be a dance through the daisies, they’ve got another thing coming. The Razorbacks aren’t coming to mess around. Look for this one to be close, but we’ll see if Alabama learned their lesson from last year’s Sugar Bowl and puts ‘em away early. Tune into CBS at 3:30 p.m. EST.
New England Patriots (1-1) vs. Atlanta Falcons (2-0) 1:00 p.m. EST
New England coming the biggest upset thus far this year look to rebound, this will be a tough rebound as the once run heavy Falcons have come out of nowhere and started throwing on everyone. This one is intriguing for the quarterback matchup, Tom Brady v Matt Ryan, old dog vs the young up-and-comer. Even though I’m pretty sure the pats will most likely come out on top it’s still fun to watch.
Buffalo Bills (1-1) vs. New Orleans Saints (2-0) 4:05 p.m. EST
Who doesn’t like to watch T.O. (Terrell Owens)? And, who doesn’t like to see lots of throwing and a dynamic offense with the league’s most accurate passer, Drew Brees? This game should be a shootout, at least New Orleans should do plenty of scoring, let’s hope Buffalo can keep up.
Minnesota sVikings (2-0) vs. San Francisco 49ers (2-0) 12:00 p.m. CST
Power Running vs. Power Running, this is a game for people who like to see football the way it was played back in the day: running the football and running some more. All eyes will be on the matchup between league MVP, Adrian Peterson, and last week’s big surprise Frank Gore. Sorry Frank, don’t think you’ll be running for 200+ this week, although I hope so.
