[plasticbathmonki]

[Nintendocore]

Xbox 360 price drop. If it were not for that, I'd be 360less.

 

[oxidative]

Amazon no more 30 price guarantee. Lame.

 

[blueshinra]

Circuit City's woes.

 

[danielle]

[Davestation]

[lwelyk]

I'd have to say Circuit City closings.

 

[GameOnJohn]

Xbox 360 price drop.

 

[callmesteam]

Amazon and their Black Friday deals were outta hand. I still have a stack of sealed games, right next to a stack of in-progress games, next to another stack of completed games. They delivered from every angle.

 

[Bioshocked360]

Circuit City shutting down.

[ghost00]

360 price drop

 

[ticalmc2k2]

Xbox 360 for $199

 

[PolRBear]

Rip Cc

 

[knightsdwn]

Circuit City going down the shitter.

 

[msdmoney]

I don't think Amazon's price guarantee had as much impact as the closing of all the CC stores. But I think the big story will be this year when CC does finally shut its doors.

Probably the biggest cag shopping news is the recession, along with all the studios closing.

 

[retail sucks]

Xbox 360 price drops.

 

[Kage Ukyo]

I'd go with the CC closings as well. I mean, the $199 xbox is nice but...people buy the arcade setup?!

 

[jalopez86]

XBOX 360 price dropping below the Wii's.

 

[emg28]

CC closing stores and it's pending bankruptcy (?). Goodbye to PM at other stores and clearance games. I also have to mention Amazon.com's decision to get rid of their price-matching policy.

 

[geosooner]

amazon's video game deals of the day...however good AND awful...

 

[dan13l858]

Xbox price drop.

[BillyDKid]

Circuit City stores closing.

I'll miss the occasional clearance deals..

 

[Deadlybart356]

Circuit City Bankruptcy

 

[degeneratorruch]

CC goes bankrupt.

 

[Arturo84]

CC bankrupt store in my area seems to be profiting and has only been open for less than 6 months

 

[Smuglittleman]

Amazon's Black Friday Deals.

 

[Darklighter]

Circuit City going under.

 

[malice207]

being taxed online is quite a bummer...but i would have to go for the 360 price drop because that was happy news

 

[BLUEMANRULE]

Yeah, 360 @ $199 wins this category for sure.

 

[Josef]

Circuit City going under is a shopping news story for 2009 not 2008. Anyway, Amazon dropping their post-order price guarantee, and then routinely dropping prices on games a week after they were released, basically screwing everyone that preordered. People getting Eternal Poison for $19.96 with the preorder art book was the kicker (lucky bastards!).

 

[PR Mega X]

Amazon charging tax on New Yorkers and dropping their price guarantee. That was a big one-two punch in the face.

 

[Big K 69]

xbox 360 price drop

 

[doraemonkerpal]

Xbox360 price drop because my friend finally bought one hehe

 

[Okatta]

No price drop for the PS3.
