After calling pretty much every EB and half the GameStop's in a 25 mile radius around me (north Orlando, FL), I found that the GS in the mall closest to me had a QD for $50. Between that store and two other visits, I wound up with 15 games, including a freebie store demo of The Sims Bustin' Out from store where I got my system and first 9 games (10 including the freebie). $98.20 spent.
I picked up:
Ashen
Asphalt Urban GT
Bomberman
Call of Duty
Colin McRae Rally 2005
Glimmerati
Pathway to Glory
Pocket Kingdom
Puzzle Bobble VS (I was very surprised it wasn't called Bust-A-Move)
Rayman 3
The Roots
The Sims Bustin' Out (store demo)
Virtua Tennis
Worms World Party
X-Men Legends
Now to find a dummy SIM... My packaging wasn't totally glued shut, so I don't know if anything had fallen out/was stolen. Just for the record, the prepaid Cingular QD does not come with a dummy SIM, right?
Also, seems my t-zones isn't playing nice, even after changing the settings as indicated on the N-Gage support site. People have been saying I can get on Arena through Bluetooth. I've synced my contacts and calender on my iMac, but is there a way to play online or just do file-transfer as well? (I don't have Bluetooth on my PC systems.)
For the record, about half of the stores I called still have games. Unfortunately, for those who may be interested, I didn't really keep track of which, since I was only really on the lookout for the system before I bothered to look for games.
Also unfortunately, because I pretty much drained my bank account on this outing, I couldn't afford that nice red Lotus Exige I passed on the drive home. It was at one of those shady type of used car dealers, and I always wonder why if the person could afford to buy expensive cars why would they chose to sell it at one of these kind of places.
