HA! Noone may really care to read this, but I'm fairly happy now...
My original intent on Friday was to order Wild Arms 3 and Dark Cloud 2 as a few additional birthday gifts for my little sister. However, as mentioned in my post above, my plan was defeated when Dark Cloud 2 was removed from the list. Under the impression that the sale ended Friday night, I felt the need to take advantage anyway and ordered Wild Arms 3 and Castle Shikigami 2 with a bit of a frown on my face.
The day after, I couldn't help noticing that Dark Cloud 2 had come back onto the list! I frantically moved to cancel my order, and while it looked like I was going to succeed for a while there, they shipped the original order out after all and DC2 just happened to vanish again.
And now, today... I saw that DC2 had returned *again* so I was hellbent on getting it somehow. I explained the situation to my sister, and she allowed me to borrow some cash off her gift card and get Dark Cloud 2 (and the Hunter game as well) while the gettin' was good. So now, for $40, I should be receiving two dandy RPGs as well as two simple tear-stuff-up games to amuse myself with.
Wal-Mart = owned.
