If you’ve been holding out on getting our top rated game, Just Dance 3, you can get it right now at Best Buy for $20. That’s the lowest I’ve seen it yet.

Okay, a little off topic, but if you happen to own an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, here are some great free apps you can download. They’re a great way to supplement your Wii workouts, or to let you exercise when you’re on the road and don’t feel like traveling with the Wii.

For today only (Monday, 12/5/11), as part of their Gold Box and Lightning Deals, Amazon is having a big sale on all kinds of Wii games throughout the day. Check this link throughout the day:
Some of the highlights (using my best guesses, as Amazon is often cryptic with their “clues” of sales that are coming:
- All day (while supplies last), Just Dance 3 is only $25.99, the lowest you’ll likely see it this season.
- At 1:00 PM Eastern (10:00 AM Pacific), Cyberbike will be going on sale, a Wii game that comes complete with its own exercise bike. Whenever this becomes a Lightning Deal, it always sells out within 2 minutes, so be there right on time if you want it!
- At 7:00 PM Eastern (4:00 PM Pacific), Zumba Fitness will be on sale.
- At 9:00 PM Eastern (6:00 PM Pacific), Zumba Fitness 2 will be on sale.
It’s a great time to stock up for Christmas, so get them while you can–these deals are not going to last long!
If you’ve been in the market for a new Wii (say, for your home gym or rec room…or for that friend who’s always coming over and playing yours), Best Buy has the best deal I’ve ever seen. For only $99, you can get a Nintendo Nintendo Wii Console (Black) with New Super Mario Bros Wii Game and Music CD
.
Here’s the kicker–you can’t buy this in the stores. You need to be online at BestBuy.com on Thursday, at which time the price will drop for the day. I have a feeling this one is going to go fast, so I’d recommend getting there at midnight Eastern time on Thanksgiving morning.
When you consider that the New Super Mario Bros Wii game is selling for $44 on Amazon, and a new Wii Remote Plus is going for $36, that’s like getting the console for $19!
Good luck snagging this one!
For a very limited time, you can get Just Dance 3 on sale at Best Buy, plus a $10 gift card. Since it’s on sale for $35, the effective price after you get the gift card is $25. That’s as good a deal as any that’ll be available on Black Friday. But hurry, it’s only good for a very short time (look for the “$10 Gift Card with Purchase” link on the product page under “Special Offers” too see if it’s still on).
For those who don’t know, I just named Just Dance 3 as the top Wii exercise game for this Christmas. As a bonus, you get two extra Katy Perry tracks when you buy through Best Buy. Jump on this deal while you can!
Set your alarms for 6:00 PM eastern, everyone. That’s when Amazon will have the Cyberbike Magnetic Edition
This game has been out since June, but I’ve been resisting, as it was somewhat preposterous to me to shell out more money for a peripheral than I paid for my console itself. But I may bite the bullet and buy one for myself today if the Gold Box price is right, especially since the winter months are approaching when I won’t be able to ride my real bike outside. If so, expect a review here.
At one point
Tony Hawk: Shred – Nintendo Wii was released to a lot of fanfare. Tony Hawk himself participated in the design of the skateboard controller, and it seemed like this would be the first of many skateboarding titles for the Wii.
Unfortunately, consumers weren’t quite willing to shell out the money for it (at one point it was going for over $80), and those who did get it found the setup and calibration to be frustrating. On the other hand, die-hard Tony Hawk fans and skateboarding fans seemed to like it.
My guess is that Best Buy just wants to clear them out of their stores right now to make room for Christmas 2011 inventory (notice that it’s available for free in-store pickup only, not shipped). So if you’re looking for a great deal for the boarder in your life, jump on this one!
Here’s a deal and a half from Groupon. That’s right, Groupon, the folks who bring you half price restaurants and dance lessons and pottery making classes.
For $39, you can get a Motiva Heart Rate Watch that sells on Amazon for $64.22 and retails for $119.99. For $25, you can get a MIO Heart Pro watch that sells on Amazon for $42.03 and retails for $69.99.
Reviews are decidedly mixed, but if you’re just looking for something quick to use with your Wii workouts that doesn’t require pesky chest straps, you can’t go wrong with this. But jump on it while you can, as the dreaded “limited quantity available” message is already up!
For today only, Zumba Fitness
As I wrote in my review of Zumba Fitness 10 months ago, this game is not a bad one if you’re a seasoned Zumba enthusiast and want to reinforce some of the dances in the comfort of your home. On the other hand, don’t expect to learn Zumba from it, as the tutorials are far too fast and furious!
