360 price drop. That was kind of big news. PS3 price drop as well. I bought both because of it. 360 was first, that's my vote.

As for tax on online orders, that's soon going to happen everywhere. Could happen in CA soon. That's why I shop at Amazon.

CCs are dying. I vote CC for dying.

[kaw]

NY state's unconstitutional sales tax law that forces online retailers, with NY state affiliates, to charge sales tax even though these retailers have no physical presence in the state, and NY gets the tax money for providing no service to the retailers whatsoever.

 

[mrfreeziexp]

[quote name='Ugamer_X']New Yorkers now get charged sales tax for all purchases made online, and it looks like it may spread to other states.[/quote]

Dammit, this would SUCK. Most of the time my online purchases are cheaper than the B&M counterparts by tax only. Amazon and the like should fight this tooth and toenail.

My nomination would be online sales tax.
