Just came back from the Seattle Kmart. They're not carrying Deus Ex HR. :(

Just received an e-mail announcing the end of 20 points for the Bonus Round Puzzle for card holders; starting August 1st, it'll be just 10.

Another vote for Valkyria Chronicles. Like Rodimus, I'm enjoying the Back to the Future games; I couldn't say how well they stand up as adventure games -- it's not a genre I'm familiar with -- but in terms of storytelling, they do a terrific job of capturing the spirit of the movies.

I think the game gets significantly more interesting once you finish the Homicide desk. (I'm midway through the Arson desk right now.)

I'm disappointed by losing all the quizzes, but I can't really blame Sony (or Capital One). With all the answers readily available on the message board, it was easy to earn $200 a year in points without using the credit card at all; that's a money-losing proposition for Sony.

It looks like the Jeopardy and SPT clubs have been discontinued. This means 60 fewer points a day, and makes the Sony card less attractive.

I previously posted about the Seattle store being out of L.A. Noire on Wednesday. As a result, I had to use my coupons on PSN cards, which probably doesn't work out so well for Kmart. Josh has set up some fabulous deals, and I'd love to take advantage of other ones in the future, but if I...

I doubt it. The linked page says "Online Only" and "In-store offer varies."

No joy at the Seattle Kmart, alas. They had sold out of LA Noire yesterday, and weren't expecting more copies for a couple of weeks. I had $60 worth of coupons from last month that I had to use, so I wound up spending them on PSN cards. Pretty disappointed.

Some DLC is on the disc, but you get the Cerberus network DLC by entering the provided code at the PSN store.

I recruited Thane early on, and gained his loyalty early on, too. We talked about his son at length, in our initial conversations. As I said, I reached the point where he called me "siha."

I did converse with him every after every mission, and kept getting the "I still have to think about what we've already discussed" line. Eventually I had no choice but to go through the Omega-4 relay, and there was no consummation; Shepard just looked longingly at her picture of Kaidan.

Did anyone have a problem getting the Paramour trophy? I played as a female Shepard, and tried to romance Thane. I got to the point where he called me "siha," and said he'd explain what that meant later. But no matter how many times I tried talking to him after that, I kept getting the "I...

I went to the Seattle store this morning and picked up Portal 2 and four $20 PSN cards (they didn't have Crysis 2); got the $10 discount on one of the cards, and I got both the $45 and $15 coupons; the whole thing went as smooth as silk. Thank you for putting this together, Josh!

Just wanted to add my thanks to this thread. I picked up the PS3 versions of ME2 and DS2 and a $20 PSN card for $97.xx at the Seattle Kmart the other day. If deals like this continue to be available, I will keep buying from Kmart.
