Well, mine is coming from Amazon via UPS and is scheduled to be delivered in the AM (i.e. before I awaken) so I'll sleep on the sofa and let the UPS man wake me up with Star Wars!

K-mart is $39.99 . I don't have Fry's or CompUSA and Walmart was alot higher. For those of you in smaller towns, assuming your K-Mart hasn't closed down already thats probably the best deal you'll find.

Just got back from Beast Buy and the magazine isn't a very impressive premium. If you can get this cheaper elsewhere, do so IMO. I only bought it today because my stupid Amazon order won't be in until t'row.

Best Buy was $42.99 here. I used the 20% off coupon from the Madden 2005 coupon book that was lying around by the video game section end cap in the store to get it for $36.45. I am REALLY shocked the cashier applied the coupon considering the expiration date on the coupon said 3/6/04 (it's a misprint). I was for-sure thinking they would turn me away on the coupon with that technicality. I got lucky (for once).
Cancelling my coconuts.com order since I don't find it fun cutting the box for the UPC. My order from there may have already shipped though (unfortunately).

Check your order again. Amazon must have heard us grumbling because mine was also shipped UPS and is scheduled for a Wed. delivery. Not bad for free shipping (but not the norm).

Hey -
I'm new here. I scanned the posts but didn't see this. Sorry if it is a repeat. I went to the Wal Mart in Hammonton, NJ. (About 30-40 mins outside of Philly) They the had Star Wars tagged for around 47.99 but it rang up for 32.99. I thought it was a mistake. But when I went back and picked up a few more for friends it was still 32.99. Worth a shot if you are in the area.

I don't see the big deal about cutting out the UPC. It's on the bottom of the box, so you won't see it when sitting on the shelf. The outer box and the inner box are both black, so it won't really be noticeable when the box is closed. The packaging isn't that nice anyway, the outer box is thin and flimsy.
