[quote name='confoosious']You can get $180 at Nextworth/Target I think.

Less than ebay but you don't want someone filing a claim.

My iphone 4 home button is slow to respond now. I can't tell if it's a hardware or software issue. I'm hesitant to throw it on ebay because of that.[/QUOTE]

Mine was having the same issue. I opened up the backplate and put a small piece of paper where the home button sits at and that fixed it for me. Sold it on eBay and got about $350 after fees but I would recommend CL first.

Everyone should give Ghost Recon Shadow Wars a chance. It's a great and relatively long game. One of the best imho.

 

[confoosious]

shadow wars is fantastic if you like that genre. My favorite 3ds game so far.

 

[Tsel]

I'm trying to build up my 3DS library as cheaply as possible, so I just may have to get Shadow Wars. Not all that interested in it, but I'm hearing a lot of good things about it.

 

[Olengie]

Only if I had a 3DS. Lol.

 

[hereon]

[quote name='Olengie']Only if I had a 3DS. Lol.[/QUOTE]

But it anyway several people here have purchased games before the system. I have done it with my Ps3 and my Vita. Its nice having a small collection to start with whenever you pick up a new system

After hearing all these good things about this game...It might finally be time to open up my copy I've had for 8 months

 

[warboss zorbag]

Yeah, I really liked shadow wars.
If you enjoy games like FF tactics, ogre battle, etc. ...you will like it.

 

[KingofOldSchool]

My Looney Tunes FINALLY shipped.

 

[PublikDefender]

i'll just leave this here

[quote name='sp00ge']We needed to get a new phone, since the 5.1.1 update completely gimped my fiance's iPhone 4 and there is no word on a fix/update from Apple, let alone even acknowledging the problems this update has caused. She cannot be without a phone, so we had to do something. I decided to use my upgrade and then gave her my iPhone 4, which had no adverse effects from the update.

I had been wanting a Note for awhile, and being only $200 now, the price was right where I wanted it to be. As far as the new Note, I'm sure the price tag will far outweigh the benefit over the current, for me anyways.[/QUOTE]


If you're talking about issues with battery life after the 5.1.1 update, I've been having the same problems.
I don't want to turn this into an iphone discussion thread, but I tried a fix just last night that seems to be working better so far.

Battery life was the least of the problems. Mute switch and volume buttons stopped worked, when in speakerphone mode, the mic didn't work, with incoming calls, there was no ringtone, just vibrating and calls would drop constantly. It seemed almost like a hardware issue, but it all started as soon as I installed the update.

It's a non-issue now, as I took it to Gamestop yesterday and get $235 in credit for it and now I'm working on flipping that credit to Best Buy. A little extra work, but far better than the $150 in credit Best Buy offered for it.

 

[crunchewy]

Did you folks try restoring? Make sure you have a backup, then do a restore and restore from backup. It would almost certainly fix any problems and you won't lose anything. For what it's worth I updated my iPhone 4 without any issues.

 

[theking20]

$7.99 is a good deal for ghost recon, always wanted to play it but was lazy

Can't wait til the 24th to get this for my XL

 

[Deleted member 182844]

D'oh, that'll teach me for buying games early. Could have saved $5 on Ghost Recon.

Yup, tried the restore a couple of times. Four actually.
Yesterday was the first I've heard about the 'reset then let the battery drain to zero' trick. So far it is definately better, but I still have pretty much everything turned off, plus the brightness way down.

Been there, done that. Did restore first and then a clean factory wipe with no change. The only way to undo the problem, without a new version, is to backpedal the update to 5.1 or older. Unfortunately, the only way to do it is to have already had the phone jailbroken with Cydia prior to updating to 5.1.1. So no dice for me there...

And for the record as stated a page or two back, my 16GB iPhone 4 updated without a single problem. The 32GB had a different fate.

If I order the Godfather Collection now for store pickup, will the price auto adjust to $25 on Wednesday before I pick it up?

I'd rather not go through the hassle of getting a price adjustment later and I'm going to be too busy with flights and returning home to be stalking best buy's site on Tuesday night. Basically, I want to place the order at full price now but not pick it up until Wednesday and I want the price to auto adjust. Not looking to score extra rewardzone points by price adjusting or anything remotely dubious. Any help would be appreciated.

 

[killercane]

Godfather Collection is about the same price at several other retailers, including Walmart.com for 29$. I would just order it there if you were really interested. But yeah it should auto adjust if you do wanna get it through BBY.

[/QUOTE]

I've heard several people confirm that if the price is lower when you pick it up than when you order, it auto adjusts so you should be good.

 

[wingzero16]

in for the 3ds game just building my collection up like always -_- still have so many DS and PS3 and PSP games can't even buy a vita or more PS3 games. but AC3 and RE6 is gonna get me

 

[FrogTheWarrior]

Will likely pick up Ghost Recon Shadow Wars. Handheld + Strategy gets me every time.

I took the red eye so I actually made it back home. Put together another $50 order with Zumba wii bundle and Jaws digi-book. Trading in Zumba to Amazon or Best Buy for $20. Getting a $10 gift card email to bring Jaws down to $20. Also got $150 credit from another batch of wii games.

Online, however, Best Buy is still making headway, with domestic Web-based revenue growing 14% on good sales of tablets, mobile phones, appliances and e-readers. The retailer is losing steam in other sectors, however, including gaming, digital imaging, televisions and notebooks.

How are they still losing steam in gaming?

Yeah, I paid $29 ($32 if you count shipping) for this a few months ago.... but I haven't gotten around to watching it yet . Wish I'd waited now...

 

[erdmanski1341]

decided to jump on the bluray set, these movies are necessary for anyone who wants a legit movie collection. used $20 in RZ certs so it cost $5.xx.

not bad at all. i had to do store pickup, but i'm heading to BB to trade in a couple games and finally get GC unlocked. gonna be an eventful day at BB for me.

 

[krashhole]

Sweet price. I just wish I hadn't seen each movie at least twice. Damn, that rhymes

 

[erdmanski1341]

i'm getting kind of worried, i still haven't gotten my store pickup confirmation

 

[jjks]

I haven't gotten mine yet either.
