I've just noticed that in the description it doesn't say about any games but in the listing it definately states;

Bubble Blue Console with Teletubbies DVD Plus Thomas DVD.

I've already posted about the Bubble Console available from Currys with 2 games at £14.99 but there are many other bargains to be had such as Teletubbies Hill now half price.

Here's the link to the toys on offer;

Best avoided many bought these at christmas and they dont work (keep skipping and stalling). Also youd be lucky if you get a setup disk in the box and will have to ring up to get one - even then its a piece of junk we wasted money on.

Was covered at end of last year.

Bubble toys were hugely popular Xmas 05, then sold off cheap for Xmas 06. Which means that there is very poor support for using the bubble with a DVD player from before Xmas 05. (Search for the bubble thread for further details). The bubble does work as an interactive book like a my first leappad even if you cannot connect it up to the TV.

Those with pre-schoolers might also be interested in the Tellytubbie home hill playset for £15 and steam along thomas set for £35

Have seen a few V-Smiles in recent sales -Boots have had them at half price (£25), that would probably be a better buy than the bubbles.

That's not my experience (03 DVD) the DVD pairing worked first time but the games are awful in that they mostly don't work - Noddy is a particularly sore point. All too often they simply go round in a loop - I think they're very poorly programmed/designed.

Thanks, just ordered a Teletubby Telly Tummy Laa Laa toy for my sons Birthday, reduced to £12.49 from £24.99
On the on-line and off-line discount board there is a code for an extra 5% off Currys and also a code for free delivery (although delivery was free for me anyway)

We got one at xmas too, setup disc was there, and took about 15mins to sort it to work.

if you have a cheap dvd player thats where it was a bit of a problem , but with a renowned name you should be ok.Its ok on the sony PS2 and our panasonic DVD player

My boy still uses it now, well work £15
