    CAG's Black Friday Bonanza! Win a $200 Gift Card to the Retailer of Your Choice!

    This Black Friday, I'm going to go for the CC $200 xbox 360 w/ 20gig HD. Then I'll hit up other stores to collect the $20 Burnout Paradise, Bioshock, and Orange Box! Asassin's Creed at $10 looks good too. Of course I'll have to get a points card so I can play Braid. Can't wait to get started!

    I'm sorry to hear you couldn't find more old-school stuff in Akihabara; you have to be thorough and look into the nooks and crannies, so to speak. Sometimes the smaller stores will surprise you. What do you mean by "Marty's"? If you have a chance to go to Ibaraki-Ken, there is that huge...

    Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (PH) is $9.99 @ Best Buy

    The GOTY edition not only has the two expansion packs, it improves on the gameplay by giving you the ability to sort your quests by complete/incomplete and you can now put labels on your local map. This is worth mentioning because they were the two major points that reviewers complained about...

    CheapyD tours Akihabara with fellow CAG thakingrocka + Gaijin vs Nihonjin DOA4 Action

    for those of you who are interesed, the DOA4 poster says "sekai de ichiban ustukushii", which means (mostly) literally, "Number-one gorgeous in the world" - which is kind of a play on words, since utsukushii is a word for beauty usally associated with breathtaking women - are they talking...

    I agree - the price for new games is atrocious - but if you look hard and smart you can find such good deals it doesn't matter. However, one thing I have noticed is the buyback price for games, especially popular ones, is much higher than over here. So if you play a game, beat it quickly, and...

    Yeah, I go to Tech, but this semester I'm doing co-op, so just work, no classes. Good luck on transferring in! It's a great school and I love it. You'd think, with so many gamers at 'Tech and State that there would be an indie games shop nearby... hmmm... Anybody got some entrepreneurial...

    Thanks for your comments. I was over there as an English teacher (JET Program) but in my free time I was immersing myself in the gaming scene. I found another JET who was even more into games than me and we would go hunting on the weekends. If you ever get to go, try to go with a friend -...

    Hey all, This is my first post into CAG. I love getting games cheap, and only in rare cases (Zelda:WW pre-order) do I buy a game for the full $50. So I'm looking forward to sharing knowledge here. Having lived in Japan for 2 years, I can most assuredly tell you that there are great deals...
