So, I got a price alert for this game, 36.49 at GoGamer. I click the link, gogamer lists at 51.90. The price comparion still lists the $36 price. Anyone know what's going on?

It's store by store. Freestanding stores are far, far more likely than mall stores, though.

Zelda. No question.

A little news: Some GameStops are waiting until they actually have the systems in had before calling and telling people they do or don't have one. The bad news: Many stores still haven't gotten shipments.

Good question. I haven't heard anything about Wii shortages.

I still haven't heard from my gamestop yet. They only took 7 pre-orders, so I have no idea how this might turn out.

According to the leaked memo, calls should be made by the end of Wednesday.

any thoughts on how 20 gig system pricing might end up? With the slash to available consoles, the 20 gig ones may do better than anticipated, but since the 60 gig ones are the desired consoles, I really don't know.

Just got a call from Sears. "The DS Lite you ordered has been returned to the manufacturer. You can either call Sears.com and cancel the order, or come pick out a different one." "I'll cancel. Thanks."

Checked a number of stores in the Dallas/Richardson/Plano/Addison TX area, no dice.

New Paper on the Topic Just showed up on Kotaku. It's a very interesting read. The author makes a pretty convincing case for regulating the MMORPG world and the profits coming from it based on current internet gambling law, as well as proposed regulations.
