So, looking through the Atari 2600 games, one of the titles is Pong Sports. That was the Sears Telegames version, but the original title was Video Olympics. I'm guessing that they didn't want to get any IROC people complaining about using the O word, even when that was allowed years and years...

Just used the code on September 21st, still works. Yay for less expensive Retro Gamer renewal.

I hit the Sunnyvale, California Target tonight (the one by Macy's with all the construction). I got Shadow of the Colussus (GH) and PGR3 for $4.9x each, although both were marked higher ($10 and $13) on the price sticker. They still had one PGR3, but I didn't see any more SOTC. Other...

I hit the Toys 'R' Us in Sunnyvale, California on El Camino last night and got Blue Dragon and Earth Defense Force 2017 for a total of about $30 -- clearance price minus the 20% discount. They had extra of both -- a couple of copies of Blue Dragon and one EDF, IIRC.

That was the Target at 183 & Ohlen Road... I got the last copy of Simpsons, Two Worlds, and the last controller, but they had more Party Animals in stock :)

I went by one of the north Austin Target stores yesterday and got some good deals on Xbox 360 games and gear: The Simpsons Game - $12.48 Two Worlds - $14.98 Viva Pinata: Party Animals - $7.48 Halo 3 Wireless Controller w/ Master Chief figurine - $41.98

I didn't know other sites had posted about this... I'm just on the Surplus Computers mailing list. The DOA percentages don't sound great; I'll be sure to report on how my unit works when it gets in.

I occasionally buy from SurplusComputers.com, and in their most recent email blast, I saw these deals Guitar Hero 2 Bundle for Xbox 360 - $49.99 Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock Wireless Xbox 360 Bundle - $59.99 Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock Bundle (PS2) - $49.99 Guitar Hero III: Legends of...

They aren't old Colecovision games... the Coleco name was just licensed for this plug and play to give the generic sports games some sort of retro credibility.

I hit two TRUs in north Atlanta - Cumberland and Barrett Parkway. At Cumberland, I got DS Viewtiful Joe Double Trouble for $7.50 (last copy), DS Deep Labyrinth (several more) for $10, PS1 Syphon Filter for $1.70, and PS2 Ape Escape 3 (bunch more) for $10. I saw a few copied of WW Twisted...
