Me too, I just bought that paddle from NCS this weekend along with Band Brothers DX ($47), and SIX the week before from BB ($15 with coupon), glad to hear I didn't pay more than I had to :D

The aforementioned Grandville, MI store has their Wii games out now. I was able to get the Sonic (IIRC there were 2 left) I wanted and SSX for my friend (2 there as well, I think.) Not a big selection, but I was glad to see what I was looking for :) I didn't see Sonic Rush there, but...

Yeah, I'm leaning toward checking again today, though my wife already gave me trouble for coming home with food she didn't ask me to buy yesterday ;)

What's this NiGHTS deal everyone keeps talking about? I saw them on the shelf for their usual ~$43 but didn't see anything beyond that. I checked out the Grandville, MI store yesterday and failed to find any of the Wii titles. There were a handful of DS titles like Super Monkey Ball Touch 'n...

Brain Age 2 survey

No. The GCN cable actually had a chip inside it that generated the component signal, which helped keep costs down for the console itself. That's also why the cable was so expensive in the first place. Plus, it's an entirely different port. :)

In the default scheme, you move with the d-pad and shoot by placing your stylus on the touch screen. You can customize it a number of ways; swapping the screens (buddy of mine plays this way, I think he's crazy), moving with touch, or even moving with the d-pad and shooting with the buttons...

Well, I bought it at full price and don't regret it one bit (I own both versions, actually.) There are a few tradeoffs vs the console version, sure--it's a little slower overall, and it will chug when there's too many enemies in some levels--but it's portable (which sold me), and the control...

Geometry Wars: Galaxies for DS is going for $20 this week at Meijer, who actually has an online store these days (which is why I didn't stick it in the regional forums). http://www.meijer.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=39277&parentCategoryId=199&categoryId=905&from=search&N=3941 It's in...

While the rest of your explanation is spot-on, the T's & C's on my cert say that if I happen to get $5k, I actually have to call in, and they'll send me ten $500 certs that are good through the end of March. Which is okay, I suppose, if I'm allowed to use more than one on a transaction--I can't...

Didn't see it in this thread, but I saw Polarium Advance for $9.98 yesterday (Atlus-published GBA version with some extra mechanics, basically--I understand it's only the puzzle mode.) I've not seen it in the bin before, so I think it's part of the clearance, but it might be just at my store.

After an hour of searching locally, I'd concluded I was lucky to see it anywhere, let alone below retail...

I deserve it because I make an utter fool of myself every time I play Guitar Hero with friends. With my own setup to practice on, I have at least a passing chance of looking like slightly less of a fool.

Even if BB does have an hourglass bonus, I doubt it's the same one that's showing up in posts here--that one is definitely a media gift. The GameFAQs report just says "an hourglass". http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/09/swag-the-phanto.html Love to be wrong, though. It is kinda neat.
