That sounds like a cool idea.

Seconded

A Black Friday after-party sounds cool. Would anyone be up for Texas Hold'em poker where we can contribute gameguides/cheap games into the grand prize pot? (I have a foldable table & chipset lying around that need to be used) Just a fun alternative unless your house has a tv and system in every room for all the CAGs haha. Please keep us posted.

WTF is up with the weather... seems like it's raining everyday.

I'll take rain over snow this time of year. Today was really nice actually. I'm dreading the inevitable drop in temp back down into the 40's :(

Massive, slow-moving cold front combined with remnants of a hurricane that was near Baja. I really feel for the farmers, as they had problems planting earlier in the year, and now the harvest is messed up.

Anyone try the glitch at any chicago area BB's for the b2g1 deal? Any confirmation of where it works will be nice?

I know this is a long shot, but do any of you guys have an older version of PS3 firmware on a flash drive? I just want one that can earn trophies, but I do not want to risk updating to 3.0 or 3.01.

So none of you guys in the whole city is trying to the Bestbuy glitch? I can't believe it.

Didn't you already confirm it in the BB thread?

One buy posted about trying it in one of the Chicago stores, I'm sure others are too but they are just being lurkers.

Sounds good to me. I'll probably need to get rid of some games by that time. What burb is it exactly?

Ok, here is what I know so far.

Bestbuy in Burbank on 79th South Cicero

I scanned in order

operation flashpoint
Tetris
popcap collection

It gave me the middle game free, not the most expensive. I will be returning later tonight to try and put operation flashpoint as the middle game.

Bestbuy on belmont/ near kedzie by the expressway.

Scanned in order:

Rock Revo xbox
Operation Flashpoint
Rock Revo

I got the first game free. Will try again later tonight to see if I will get Operation flashpoint free if placed first.



Bestbuy on Elton

Scanned in order

Operation Flashpoint
Rock revo xbox
rock revo xbox

Success. Got Operation flashpoint free.


Please post any success/ failures in the city or near suburbs. We only have 2 days left of this sale and I would like to get in on this deal some more.

Count me in for the meet up too. BTW there is a D&B deal for this weekend. I created a thread buy it is easy to miss.

It'd be in Niles. This is all tentative, so don't get crazy if it doesn't come about. I'm just tired of us not being able to set a date and location for a meet up.
My house will be pretty empty come mid-November, so it'd be after then.
I have a PS3, a 1080p 50-inch tv, a 720p 32-inch tv, a 36-inch CRT tv in the basement, and wireless internet. It's not a technophiliac's dream, but there's enough room and tech here to have a good gaming time.

I noticed you can't even find RR on the BB website now. I'm stopping by the Elston store before work to check it out, but I'd assume corporate will have this sorted by tomorrow.
