[quote name='JoshTX']Austin TX is 8.25%, but we don't pay annual state taxes. I believe CA does in addition to having a high sales tax rate. Don't quite remember exactly how the state tax system worked, but I remember paying it at the same time as federal taxes when I lived in San Diego.[/QUOTE]
Yep,
Cali state income tax can get up to nearly 10% if you make a decent living. And "decent" being extremely relative, I believe it's every dollar over $49K or so income for single filers is taxed at 9.3%, and a bit under $100K for joint filers at the same rate. And $100K a year income here really isn't much given the cost of living.
[quote name='handsomepete']No, the
_real_ deal was getting Uncharted 3, MLB 12, LBP2 and more for free after spending about 10 minutes a week posting silly comments on the PS Rewards site. But, much like the coupon deal, that deal too is very dead.
Not sure why these threads always devolve in to these deal measuring contests though. It'll be an incredible rarity to ever see Uncharted 3 for $10 again, so maybe this will be the price point for people that missed out on it or couldn't participate.[/QUOTE]
Yeah I remember the PS rewards too, LOL. As for the threads devolving into who got the best deal pissing contests, I know that's been a complaint previously and I'm not mentioning it in some sort of attempt to rub salt on someone's wound, rather I hate to hear on CAG that someone didn't get that better deal, lost out or it was sold out etc. Especially when that deal simply blew up and it seemed as if everyone on the site got in on it, if nothing else than to at least get AC:R, UC3, and one or two other spectacularly good deals post coupon that week. Perhaps we will see a bundled UC1-3 set/collection that will eventually go to $30 or less.
