C'mon, you're requesting a deal on $20 budgetware? Just pay the $20!

J/K. Often times, $20 games show up at $15 in alot of stores. Just do some hunting when it launches, you're bound to find it cheaper.

Gamer's Gift Card $5 off coupon would make it $15 at Best Buy.

Also, a Target rain check would help . . . if Target carries it. My guess, is that like other "small" games Target won't stock it. Heck I don't think that even Best Buy will have it . . . its not on either store's website.

A lightbulb just went off over my head :lol:

I have a $20 credit at EBGames for trading in 2 $5 games to preorder Pikmin 2 (but I got P2 for $28 at Target with a raincheck) . . . I'll probably use that credit to get Katamari Damacy at EB B&M.

I'm pretty sure this game won't show up in any of the mega stores and will only be available in small supply at dedicated game stores...

With X-Men Legends, Def Jam FFNY, Monster Hunter, Second Sight, SW Battlefront, DDR Extreme, and FFXI:Chains of Promathia coming out this week, I am sure Best Buy is clearing space for Katamari Damacy as we speak.

Seriously, even the guys I asked at EB hadn't heard of this game, and their computer says they are only getting a couple of copies. If you are serious about getting this game, I suggest you don't wait too long for deals.

Think today is the official release date, but my EB is getting it in tomorrow.

I would assume so, as I have yet to get my phone call from EB telling me that the game is in stock.

i think im just going to buy it on ebgames.com to save myself the trouble of stupid store employees not finding it, or it being sold out over the weekend or something

I went to my BB today, they checked it on their computer. It says 4 copies on september 25. I'll wait a few more days.

I put my $20 store credit onto KD at EBGAMES yesterday . . . they should get their 2 copies today! People better move quickly on this game . . . if only a trickle of copies exist at this price they won't be sitting around long.

Wierd, the Best Buy website still doesn't show the game . . . will they have it in store if its not on the web?

Mine is paid in full, so I just have to swing by and pick it up tonight after work.

I absolutely hate EB games . . . the assclown who is always working is saying on the phone " I don't know if it came in or not . . . in a half hour the other guy will be back . . ."

So I don't have time to get it today . . . have to wait until tomorrow.

Obviously this is no big deal but I'm really pissed off about the poor service.

They should have it.. the EB i frequent called me.
Of course, the call did come from the store manager who personally knows me... and I specifically told him about this game coming out, and am the reason he himself preordered it.

I got mine at EB today. They got 6 copies and only 1 left. I also went to Gamestop today and they got 6 copies and only one left.

Hmm... looks interesting. May have to pick it up using that $20 I saved for the Rez rerelease I haven't heard anything new about recently.

Wow, this game is absolutely worth what I paid for it.

Picked my copy up today at BB for $14.99 after the GGC sweet deal. The openning cut scene is enough to makes the game worth the price.

Got mine at the local EB and talked the guy who works there to come here and join up. The opening cutscene has to be the best of any game I've played yet.

I did manage to get it yesterday . . . despite the jerk-off employee.

This is a great game. Very simple but addictive in its own way.

When you roll thru too small to pick up some things, you're itching to get back and then suck them up . . . my fav thus far was getting the dog in my Katamari!
