    Decent guide finds at gamestop

    I got the guides for Fable and Xenosaga 2 used for $2 each at my Gamestop yesterday. The Fable was definately used, but the Xenosaga one looked new. I don't even have Xenosaga 2 (or any of the others), but I figured that $2 for the guide would be a good way to get a good look at the game up front.

    GOOD credit cards - Balance Transfer?

    Make sure that you read the fine print on any offers carefully. I had a friend do a balance transfer at 0% interest, but he didn't read the fine print on the new card and got charged a big fee by the new company. Also, one wonders why if you can pay it off after the wedding, why you don't...

    Need Some Advice with Fraudulent Customer

    Its simple, it worked when you shipped it. If it was damaged, have the buyer deal with FedEx, its not your problem. If he damaged installing it, then its his fault, not yours. If he's trying to do the CPU swap, as mentioned above, don't fall for it. The only problem that you will have is...

    bestbuy.com - asinine shipping for video games

    The reason that they charge tax is because there is a retail store in your state. Whenever you buy something online from a company that has retail locations in your state, you have to pay the sales tax. As for the shipping, $4 for two games isn't that bad. The only thing that's upsetting you...

    mechanical vs. electrical engineering career

    I'm an ME. I'd have to say that in general, you will likely make more starting out as an EE. Not sure about what happens after that, though. I know what I make and what I'd like to make are two different things. Keep in mind that not all ME's do CAD work. I have a design/product...

    Here are pictures of my new setup! (56k= no)

    Not to criticize, but do you really need 3 XBox's? And two hooked to what appears to be the same TV? The Widescreen looks sweet...by the way.

    (News Item) EA Hit By Second Employee Lawsuit

    Keep in mind that these people don't get paid by the hour, they have to be paid salary to be exempt from the overtime laws. $50/hour translates into $100k/year. That's awesome. However, these people frequently have to work 60-70+ hours a week and work on weekends. Plus, many of them don't...

    How much would I get for these?

    I know that ebgames has the $10 bonus credit right now for two games, but I don't know if Gamestop does. I had some total crap that I needed to get rid of at ebgames last night. Both games got me $10.75 AFTER the $10 bonus. They get their money either way, but at least I got rid of some junk...

    Blockbuster Online $14.99/month until Jan. 2006

    You can do that with Netflix too. The only problem is that you get 1 disk at a time. Normally, one disk would be 4-5 episodes but the idiots who did Highlander thought 3 episodes per disk would be a good idea, hopefully that changes with the later seasons. How do they do it with BBO? In...

    Zelda:LTTP on GBA help!

    Use the mirror. It should take you back to Light World in the same spot that you were in the Dark World. You can then step back into the shimmering spot to return to the dark world or go through the portal in Hyrule Castle. It also takes you to the beginning of any dungeon. I think that...

    How's working at EB Games?

    Probably...since its a total cash cow for the company. Here's a game (on a CD), new or used. We know it works fine now. If you give us $3 more, we'll replace it for free if you treat it like crap for a whole year. Bring it back and we'll replace it. Since most people don't treat their...

    When is the EB B2G1 Free?

    You can't probably use it on systems, but the odds of actually getting a used XBox are just about 0%. I just got an XBox last week and I have been looking since the first of the year. There were no used or new ones to be had anywhere near where I lived.....yes, I couldh have ordered it, but...

    $3.00 warranty @ EB Games. Has anyone used this?

    On any game that comes on a disk, you will only need this if you treat you games like crap. If you don't walk on them or beat the shit out of them, you don't need this. Its just a scam to get $3 more per title out of you. Just keep your $3 and take decent care of your stuff and it won't be...

    Any SAT studying tips?

    These tests are NOT designed to see how well you know anything or what you have learned in your lifetime. They are only designed to see how good you are at taking the test. Complete and total morons could ace the thing if they knew the tricks to it, what to prepare for and what to memorize...

    advice needed, has to do with the gamestop b2g1free deal

    Not surprising at all. This is almost always how buy X get Y free works. You will always get the cheapest items in the total free, whether you buy 2 to get 1 free or 6 to get 3 free. The cheapest items are ALWYAS the free ones. You can complain, but I don't think that it will do any good...

    Netflix: Yay or Nay?

    Season's of DVD's are a pain with Netflix. I am currently going through Highlander and you get it one disk at a time. Not that bad, really, but if you are like me and want to watch an episode a day, you have to continually keep your list updated so you are not waiting for one to arrive. Also...

    Report dumb Christmas shoppers here!

    Not a gaming related story, but... I was at Best Buy yesterday picking up Season 1 of the A-Team for my brother. The store is packed and the cash registers are all blocked off. The store has one line and feeds people in as space opens up at each register. It makes for one long line, but...

    Pedro=class?

    That's funny....Pedro calling anyone arrogant. I think that he is an arrogant ass....a great pitcher, but an ass. I'm moving close to Boston soon and now I won't have to be ashamed to occasionally root for them. They got rid of the ass, so it'll be okay. Theo Epstien might be arrogant, but...

    A dillemma straight out of a cheesy christmas movie

    This says it all. I'd tell my boss that I'm not working those days, since you asked for them off months ago. If he says no, then quit. You can get another job. Unless your discount on video games is about 80% off, then its not really worth it. If you love your family and love your...

    I graduated!!!! Need a job.

    A 3.8 GPA in high school should be good enough for most decent colleges (state colleges and some private colleges). If you want to go to MIT or Case Western Reserve University for Engineering you would probably need a 4.0 or a really good SAT score (1500+). If you want to be an engineer, you...
