Cancel the order and get it from TRU, they have it for $20 right now. When you get to TRU, ask them to total it out, the discount gets added at the end, and not if you just do a price check.

I thought being a hopeless romantic that the book comment would be right up your alley

The game sucks... I got it for free and still traded it in. Overhyped, overrated, no english translation (wtf?) with the exception of Dennis Rodman. It was like playing Barbie with all the dress up and gift giving. Hell, if i knew what women wanted I wouldn't be playing video games and sitting here at home.

Yeah, me hate books too! Gah! Stupid books! It's frustrating not being able to read isn't it?

I'm glad that in the last 20 years, people have come up with new forms of entertainment... like "music" and "games"... really revolutionary stuff. Imagine what ye olde English peasant would think if they knew we played such wonderous "futuristic" things...

It's not that I can't read or want books to disappear, it is just that I have had my run ins with people who think they are better than everyone because they would rather read...

Geeze, my "read a good book" comment was about as substantial as a brocolli fart... Wow.

Urgh... I know a tedious, awful woman just like that. I'm sure most people do...

But reading books doesn't have to be "intellectual". The books I read are just as trashy, violent and tasteless as the movies I watch and the games I play...
