Let me shed some light on inventory systems and potential errors.  Bare with me, it's may be a lot of reading.  If you're expecting, "Hurr, employees stealing/hiding stuff," just go ahead and scroll down to the next comment now. A company like Walmart or Target has a highly automated inventory...

I hadn't purchased any games from Best Buy in nearly a decade* so count me in the number that thought they ended this program years ago.  *They sent me a coupon for something like $30 off that I was going to use on an HDD for my PS3 (or maybe the coupon was specifically for the HDD) and after...

That should be a trophy. :razz:

Meanwhile the Atari 2600's 40th birthday came and went without fanfare.   But it'll have the last laugh when it's cruising by in its new sports car.  

RBI Baseball is...complicated. RBI Baseball was created by Namco/Namcot for the Famicom as Famista (or Family Stadium) Baseball. Tengen imported it to the US, added the MLBA license and changed the name to RBI Baseball. If you don't know the history of Tengen's relationship with Nintendo...

A working Dreamcast with controller is pretty easy to come by and will cost you around $50-$60 right now. I can see where the demand might drive sales of a clone if it could be manufactured and sold for under $30. But you're probably right that no one wants to spend the money to develop it...

Once the PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube launched demand for the Dreamcast was more than met by the available supply as interest simply plummeted. By the time I bought mine (two years after launch?) they were bundling it with three free games. There was never any money to be made in cloning the...

I'm a little disappointed that the freakin' Wii board and the spring get character mushrooms and yet a certain character did not...A certain character that worked his butt off keeping Donkey Kong and the bees out of his greenhouse...a certain character that has popped up occasionally in the...

I'll bet they're 576p for PAL regions.

Logged on with a T1 line inside CT and still couldn't get the page to load quick enough. Oh well.

I'm not your pal, buddy.

The Targets around here have a rear endcap in the electronics section dedicated to clearance. They just continually lower the price until they decide to finally trash them. My mother works in child care and I'll occassionally pick up a kids' music CD for her for $1-$2 while sifting through...

"Your Milage May Vary" is a term from automobile ads. Factors such as under/over inflated tires, excessive speed, idling time, sudden acceleration/deceleration, brake wear, general engine maintenance, etc. can greatly reduce the distance one is able to travel on a gallon of gasoline. So...

Put my hands in the air and wave 'em like I just don't care. No really. I only spent $2 on this game; I actually don't care. :whee:

I advocate the "Two Generation rule."   So PS2, XBox, Dreamcast, and GameBoy Advance are now in that group.
