When I went to the go2Live website to download what was needed to use the game my computer stopped the download saying that some of the elements on the site could be fatal to my computer. I discontinued the download at that time and have been too afraid to continue. I've noticed the price of these items has gone down drastically and that makes me think they aren't a good product. I can't seem to find a review on them anywhere on the internet. I can't find anyone who has tried one either.

Did you give it a shot? My wife bought one and I don't want to open it or give it away until I hear from anybody whether it's good or not.

Amazon didn't post my review, but I can give a short recap.Utter horrible garbage. Better off getting a wii remote and a bluetooth dongle if you don't already have bluetooth on your computer. There are free programs to at least get some use out of the wii remote on the pc.The software stinks for the Stix 400, the "mouse emulation mode" stinks as well, and the response (movement on the screen for movement/gesture of the controller in your hand) is slow and non-intuitive.Before anybody else makes a mistake like I did, I would suggest going to the Stix forums and reading the official responses from the Stix people about issues with the software/hardware before purchasing.http://sphere.golive2.com/?model=bbs Amazon didn't post my review, but I can give a short recap.Utter horrible garbage.

I wasn't aware of what this was until I saw it at Costco. They are selling the Stix 400 packaged with 2 controllers and a base for 9.99 (59.99 less 50.00 instant rebate until 12/24). For 10 dollars it's worth a shot.

I'm not sure what your asking, I would definitely get that play n charge kit, I have 2, they are easily worth it, but as for best all controllers are the same so that doesn't matter just as long as new that will more affect your game as opposed to an old one with sticky buttons and such, old triggers and a lot of use got me to buy a new controller. But rechargeable batteries are a no brainer. As for Forza that's my favorite game and still one of my daily drivers, but you should get away from buying actual copies as games are getting cheaper all the time and that's a first you that game that ever came out on Xbox one so pick it up cheap could be good but I prefer to have a digital copy. You can pick up a used copy of the game store for really cheap if you prefer an actual copy as that title is extreamly cheap now, do not buy new.

I believe they work on all the devices. I have never looked at them to see if they said Wii,xbox etc. That being said I have never bought one that didn't work on our device and we have quite a few characters. You would think if I weren't looking I would mess up at least once and buy the wrong one.

most of these games come with no instructions(i personally believe these games are a knock-off or have been maybe redirected to others....who put the online for sale.....).SO U WILL NOT GET ANY INSTRUCTION FROM THEM. I tried several sellers and offered to buy instructions(even a photo copy) GOT NO REPLY&gt;Good luck on your search!!!!

Unfortunately Emily is right, the game is out of print and hard to find, hence the price gouging from third party sellers. The Pikmin series has never been a best selling series for Nintendo, so they don't make nearly as many copies as they do for say, Mario or Legend of Zelda games. They do have it for digital download for the original price, so it's still out there for a reasonable price, just not the physical copies. I managed to snag the last copy at my local Target last night (it was the game they had locked in the movable case for the display, but they use new, sealed copies that are able to be sold), so there are still new copies out there, it's just difficult to find them.

Wow! Great question Cobra! I was reading the reviews and leaning toward a purchase. If it is worth buying, no one stepped up to defend it. Thanks for bluntly asking!

The biggest problem is that their downloading instructions are super unclear and outdated. After hours I was able to download the game on to my computer which is a brand new Mac. (I don't know if pc has less problems with it) however I will also tell you that once I finally got it downloaded, I could only get the base game to play. Neither of the expansion packs work because I have the "wrong code" I have to say that personally for me (while I love the game) downloading it was very difficult... I have a brand new laptop so I don't think it is that... Hope that helps!

Where did you find the game? I don't want to play online...I want the software and am running Win 7 now as no other choice on a new computer..I would love it if someone would enlighten me to get a copy of some games. I had a bare bone computer from AMD and made it how I wanted it....so now running 64 bit instead of 32 bit and my old copy of scrabble I purchased and worked well with XP will not load...is there a way to load this with Win7 that I don't know about? I put the CD in and nothing...thank you for any help...

Then how do you explain people buying up all the Wii's and then selling them at $100 or more over MSRP? I'm sorry but these sellers are GREED merchants. But obviously there are some customers willing to support that greed. Wise up. Amazon shouldn't give these people a place to peddle their greed. We don't need Amazon to tell us where to find these overpriced Blu-ray players. Amazon could tell us when they expect to receive the new BD60/BD80. That's a service we can use.

I have the 4300 and I have had no problems with it. Ever. I bought it when it first came out and it works great. I am looking to upgrade but only because I want more than 4 ports or the ability to use the new wifi technology. Works very will with my Wii via wifi, and my network drive and pcs have no problems either. And then I noticed the post I just responded to was almost 2 years old. :)

my box says that you need a computer above Microsoft ME or XP. i called the Mattel help line and they said 'yes' you must use a computer with this item. I am returning it without opening it. Do I HAVE to use a computer to enjoy this item? the box and verbage online only talks about hooking up an MP3 player/Ipod. any help before I commit to returning this item?

Did you buy a physical "DVD" game or did you by a download game? I have the physical DVD game and I do not need to use the disc (after initial installation) to play the game. I purchased it this way intentionally because some of the online downloaded games have to be run through an online server like Steam and there fore can only be played while you are on line (WIFI connected) and I use my laptop while traveling and seldom have a WIFI connection. Since you don't have an internal DVD player your options would be to buy an external USB player (they can be very inexpensive, from 19.99 up) to download a physical DVD of the game or buy an on line downloadable version.

This is not an answer but me too, I am very surprised. I would assume that this is because of the different release times. Older Wii will still be sold based on the earlier prices newer will with a free game will be sold with less price.

I bought both the Explorer and LeapPad for my 3 and 5 year olds for Christmas. I bought a couple of game cartridges as well as app cards. How do you install the apps in both? I was told at TRU that you could only install an app on one device. Good to know that he was wrong.

Thanks for your input. What do you mean by 'buy a regular one'? Can I get a SDHC reader that will work with wii, or do you mean get a different card? I really like the Transcend card but it's a pain not being able to use it with the wii.

That is a good question...I also found this book in the "Books" section when I searched there. Perhaps it has multiple categories it belongs to? The beginner box can be confusing if you don't read exactly what you are buying. So, just make sure you read the product description before ordering. Ah see your other comments, and I see your point. Often products that fall into multiple categories will be grouped into all applicable but not always. After further looking into this, I can see your problem, yes, it seems to be lumped in with the toys and games. Have you looked into the game maker (Fantasy Flight) to see if it is any different?
