Hey all, I'm trying to get a Standard or Collector's Edition digital code for Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Message me with an asking price -- the sooner the better! Edit: I'd also be happy to trade a gifted Steam game.

I live with my girlfriend but we're not married. We both watch: ~7 hours if you just include live TV ~12 hours if you also include shows recorded on DVR ~20 hours if you also include DVDs and Netflix

I'll second HeadRusch and vouch for Onkyo. At least as far as receivers go, you're not going to find a better value. I don't know how flexible you are with your $100-150 price range, but you might consider the new Onkyo HT-S3100 5.1 home theater system. Amazon has it for $275 at the moment, but...

Great, now I'm going to be tempted to check every WalMart from Madison to LA (moving in two weeks). Incidentally, though they're out of stock (probably permanently, but who knows), Consumer Depot has them listed at $35. http://www.consumerdepot.com/products.asp?id=OXYSFBB

"Barbie Horse Adventures: Mystery Ride" (or any other Barbie Horse Adventure for that matter) :D

To quote the Baron, "I have learned from experience that a modicum of snuff can be most efficacious." Then again, he was talking about dry snuff--the stuff you snort. This moist stuff probably can't help you escape from the belly of a whale.

1080p, 802.11g, video recording, and Shockwave? That's either horrible speculation, a hopeless wishlist of features, or a moderately funny joke. Which is it, OP?

Wow, that's lucky. I've never seen anything newer than a Playstation at any Goodwill or Salvation Army around here.

Picked up Heavenly Sword and got the Collector's Edition of Gears of War ($55, marked down from $70) for free! Great deal. Thanks OP.

Yeah, it might be mild retail fraud, but there are numerous locations where you can bring the game in, say you lost your receipt (or it was a gift), and get store credit (if not your money back).

I'm looking for the Audio (RCA/Optical) Dongle that comes with Xbox 360 Elites. If you have an Elite but aren't using this part, please contact me!

Best Buy in Madison (West, and maybe East) just received shipments of the new 360 Premiums with the Zephyr (ie Elite/HDMI/heatpipe) motherboards. I got the first one out of the crate. :D

I ordered Vista a couple days ago and the site predicts they'll ship August 1st. I hope copies will still go for ~$200 on ebay then. :D

I'll have you know that my years of baby-punching have brought me nothing but good luck.

I'm just curious: has anyone here had a good experience buying a refurbished 360? Both times mine have been defective. :(
