Seeing reports online that the Switch version of I Am Setsuna is going on sale for 33% off today in the North American Eshop.

Just got back from Best Buy. They had set aside all my preorders, with the exception of the Toy Box Takeover which they couldn't find and nobody who worked there knew what it was. I went back and found five of them on the shelf. They must have had some messed up issues with the SKU or something.

I can't imagine this being worth the money. This is the same company that makes the Genesis Flashback unit, and the emulation quality on these is awful, particularly the sound emulation (the sound effects are horrible and the music is pitched incorrectly.) I agree-- save the $25 toward a used...

Ok, so I'm really happy with the deals I got for 2.0 thanks to this thread. Picked up both the Guardians of the Galaxy and Spiderman playsets at TRU for 50% off last night, and bought 10 of the Series 3 power disc packs with the 5 for $5 deal. They weren't marked as such but they totaled out...

In for the Telltale Collection. I just bought The Wolf Among Us from Best Buy (physical) for $16 a couple of days ago but I haven't opened it yet, so that's going back. I love physical copies, but to also get both seasons of TWD, plus Borderlands and GoT for only $39 more-- can't pass that up.

Here is a picture of mine. No scratches or dings, looks to be in perfect shape. (Excuse the fingerprints-- this sucker is a fingerprint magnet because of its glossy finish.)

I ordered one of the TotalConsole ones from Amazon and got it yesterday. It's in absolutely pristine condition-- looks like it may have been Sony refurbished since it came with the manual and charger. Battery seems to be holding a charge so far but time will tell.

Yes, it really is that bad-- I can vouch for it also. I bought one of these things and I regret it also. The sound emulation on these is absolutely horrible-- completely butchered sound effects and music (most music plays slower or in different keys from the original.) Also, the included...

Actually, I played a 4 player simultaneous shmup-- the Japanese arcade version of Dariusburst EX. It's a huge sitdown cabinet with bench seating (and a subwoofer in the seats) and two HD monitors next to each other. They had it briefly at Game Galaxy Arcade in Nashville. It was probably the...

Well, maybe pretty bad is too harsh, but my two biggest issues were 1. Bullets blending too easily into the background making them very hard to see sometimes, and 2. The girls "riding" on the ships made it very difficult to tell where the hitboxes are (yes, I know there's a practice mode that...

Otomedius Excellent is pretty bad, but if you're a shmup fan you should be able to get $4 worth of entertainment out of it. I bought it when it was full price, unfortunately.

I bought both of these a while back. The Atari one isn't too bad, but the Genesis one has absolutely horrible sound emulation to where the music sounds nothing at all like the actual Genesis. I bought it because it played Genesis cartridges but after playing it I regret buying it. Not...

No kidding. Mine's about 2/3rds done and it's been about 45 minutes.

I thought Target was Buy 2 Get 1 at 50% off, which would mean you would buy 2 at full price and get the 3rd at 50%. Am I wrong?

Just got back from my Best Buy midnight launch. No issues. I had preordered for in-store pickup and they had all those set aside. The cashier ran everything through the system before midnight, I was free to wander the store, then at 12:01 am they handed me my bag and I was out the door. Kudos...
