I have to agree that Ebay isn't the great marketplace it once was in the late 90's and early 2000's. Everyone knows about it now. So, like that favorite music band you once loved, once everyone learns about it and it becomes popular, it loses value. It used to be you could get great deals...

yep. that's the deal i got. sweet, sweet graphics. and it's a Disney game, too. didn't know disney would create a non-licensed game.

I picked up GTA IV for $11. It's funny, cuz I returned the game after buying it for $29 on sale nearly two months ago. I took advantage of the BBV B1G1 deal, so now I have 3 copies, but I'll be keeping the new one! Also saw 2K8 Baseball for 7.97 and Guitar Hero: Aerosmith for the same price.

I missed out on the monitor I really wanted... again. I was very impressed by the 20,000:1 contrast ratio and true HD resolution. But I'm about to move in two months, so maybe it's just one less electronic piece of equipment to have to bundle along. I'll keep an eye on it in the future...

Newegg is having a 72-hour sale, which ends tomorrow. Coupon codes are included in the ad: http://promotions.newegg.com/NEemail/Jan-0-2009/72Jan20/index-landing.html?nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL012009&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL012009-_-email-_-E0-_-Accessories&[email protected]&spt=0 I'm in the...

66 I still have my Genesis. Can't beleive it!

Yeah, sad news about Circuit City going out of business: http://www.circuitcity.com/closed.html The No. 2 electronics retailer gone pfft in the US, but not in Canada.

I missed out on Stranglehold: CE for $9.99, as well. I did the auto-notify thing, but I'm not sure how effective that is for getting the same price. Any experiences with Auto-Notify???

Was back at the Shack tonight. I ordered and paid for Soul Calibur IV to be sent to the store back on 12/26, and it still hasn't arrived from a nearby store. If the game doesn't arrive, I guess I'll have to take that copy of Call of Duty: World At War, which they have on clearance at $37.99...

Think Amazon will price-match this to say $10.01? I have an item at $14.99 already in my cart.

Looked over the site very quickly and found an interesting testimonial: I purchased and xbox 360 which was sold as clearly as NEW/OPEN BOX not used. I tested the product when i first received it and it worked for a couple of months then broke. I called Micorsoft and they told me the product...

Go to live.com and click the link for cashback. There are more details there. Basically, you'll get the 2% ($6) back in 60 days. There's another "Microsoft Cashback" Ebay link floating around, but it's been dead for a while. I posted it separate, as this deal doesn't link back to Ebay.

http://search.live.com/cashback/products/offerings/1702/8281171 I hit the msn.com page and saw the Cashback ad, which took me to the above page. For someone still wanting a deal on the Xbox 360 Elite, and you don't want to deal with Deal coupon codes, etc., give this a try. In fact, I'd...

I've posted about 4 or 5 HD TV threads since joining at the start of last month. Most of these have been tv/xbox deals from a retailer like Circuit City, and some have been lone tv deals. I think having a tv thread goes hand in hand with console deals, really.

Sounds like you just arrived late to the party. That's not buy.com's fault. Honestly, I've bought more items, consoles, games, gaming industry 3D books from buy.com than I have from amazon. buy is definitely a good alternative to find good prices on new items. Don't give up the ship! :) I...
