Soooo...my "free" game costs $17 and my grand total is $89.87 (before tax). The same 3 games in my Amazon cart without any promotion or sale is $59.97.

Agreed. Maybe this will kick off another one of these online retailer wars. Hopefully they'll eventually drag Newegg in, they're the only place I like to buy games from online that doesn't charge me 9.5% tax!
 
[quote name='XF Gator']Wal-Mart is such a bad company, I hope you all realize that. Their HQ in Bentonville is literally a fort with concrete barriers.

Importing consumer goods from China has significant negative long term consequences.

Just have self discipline and buy only what you need, and always look for Made in USA products.[/QUOTE]

Well, buying only "Made in USA" products will mean you have to end your videogame hobby, as NONE of them are made in the USA (unless you count programming of western developers, who still get the physical product made in either mexico, canada, or china).

You're also implying that products made in the USA are somehow superior, when that's not always the case. I've bought some things from China that were very good quality, and things from the US that were very poor quality. Not to mention that things made in the USA a generally more expensive than most other parts of the world, so if you only buy USA, then you literally could never be a Cheap Ass Gamer.
