Is $50 a good deal for the Leapster Explorer?

[DrSally]

TRU has the Leapster Explore on sale for $60 and I have a $10 off coupon from a box of cheerios. Is $50 as good as it's going to get?

I have no idea how low it will go! I did their bundle on Leapfrog.com and also used a 25% off which brough the leapster explorer down to $47, but I had to buy games and accessories to get it down to that price. I got the Leapster, a case, and three games for $115 shipped. In case you are interested, here were the details of the order:

Thank you for the details of your purchase. I may just hold off for now and see what happens around Xmas...

What is their return policy? You may want to pick it up and wait to see if it goes any lower during that timeframe.

I would bet Amazon will do a lightning deal on the Explorer closer to Xmas -- they have done them on the Leapster2 and Tag when both were new -- so I would wait and be vigilant if you don't need it right away.
