I remember when I used to be at Fry's all the time for new games at good prices. Seriously, I would rarely go a few weeks without a Fry's trip. That's definitely in the past, now it's usually Amazon and their frequent pre-order deals, or the Best Buy that I drive by on the way home from work...

Exactly what I was waiting for. Anyone have any updates?

Thanks for the heads-up OP! I'm so glad I didn't buy this earlier this week when I was going back and forth on whether to order. I held off since I'm still busy playing through The Witcher, and am I ever glad I did! I think NWN2 Gold is still in my cart for checkout. Off to Amazon now to buy!

And some people would say getting $8 less from Gamestop is well worth the added convenience. You can get rid of all four of your games at once and be done with them, and all it takes is a trip to Gamestop. Ebay has a lot of hassle - posting four separate auctions, paying Ebay/Paypal fees...

A source that was 100% correct in revealing (in advance) the information that Capcom has given out so far (including dead-on information about Juri) stated that there are SF3 characters: Dudley, Ibuki, and Makoto. Unfortunately, I don't have a link - but this is pretty common information in the...

There's no consistent way to describe the hourly rate employees of a nationwide chain. It all depends on the particular employees in your local stores. Maybe there's a particularly bad STORE, with a poor manager who hires annoying workers. But all GC are not the same, just like all Best Buys...

They also have a particularly nice GBA 2-pack of Gunstar Super Heroes plus Rebelstar for $20. Great platformer and a cool strategy game in the style of the PC classic X-Com. Not an earth shattering deal, but a worthwhile one for sure.

Whether that's true or not, it's $15 less than what most stores are selling it for. That qualifies as a deal to me. I mean, $25,000 is expensive too. But if I could get a car for $25k that normally sold for $30k, I'd consider that one hell of a bargain. EDIT: By the way, thanks for the heads...

Wow. Just wow. I find it really hard to believe you "love shmups as much as anyone" with comments like that. 1. The point of playing a shooter isn't to credit feed through to the end in an hour, then be "done". That's like saying the point of a fighting game is to fight through eight...

Costo came through big time. Got the call last Friday (12/1) afternoon. Got my PS3 today. Taking a break to download demos and post this info. Oh, and the charge went through too - but after the package shipped! It went out via UPS Ground on Tuesday, my credit card wasn't charged until...

I never got shipping confirmation either, but I called the customer service rep that I spoke with and she confirmed that the package indeed shipped. I got a UPS tracking number and everything, it shipped Tuesday and is scheduled to be delivered on Friday. Also, my credit card has not yet been...

Same here! My 60GB PS3 with Genji and an extra controller will be shipping to me on Monday/Tuesday. Just got the phone call at about 2:45 PST. Screw going and hunting at retail stores and dealing with incompetent Best Buy employees, Costo came to me! All I have to say is - Best. Customer...

Well, to be fair it's not the absolute worst bundle (though it does suck). Fry's was selling Wii + 5 games with no choice of game, and not very good ones at that - Rampage, Tony Hawk, Madden, Monkey Ball, and GT Pro series. And also, Wal-Mart sold system only if you got in line at a store...

That's a pretty nice deal, as I'm sure a lot of Nintendo fans will be picking up both of N's games with their system.

Just posting to say that Suzuki TT is indeed pretty good. The bike physics are excellent and the one huge course is a meticulously modeled version of the famous Isle of Man course. I actually enjoyed this game more than both of the bigger name PS2 motorcycle racers if the past year - Tourist...
