Can I use my store credit online?

Also, are there any free shipping codes or anything?

Polarium's been 15 bucks at Fry's for a few weeks now...

Also, went to KB toys yesterday, and found that select DS titles are 10 bucks off. The only one I didn't have that I was interested in was Puyo Pop Fever, which was 19.99 after discount. Also had Goldeneye, Pac Pix, Spiderman, Madden 2005, and I think Meteos, along with a couple of others. Sorry, none of the newer games, like Pac and Roll, Nintendogs, or Advance Wars DS, but still a decent deal (I originally thought it said 10% off, which would have been in line with the craptacular deals KB usually has on games).

I'm not sure about using your store credit online or not...


As far as free shipping, believe me, I searched high and low down the information superhighway trying to find a free shipping code, and the only free shipping that EB offers is for used games and DVD's. However, when you choose shipping, choose EB SAVER shipping its only 1.99. My polarium was 16.22 after shipping and tax (NY).

EB does this all the time which is why you usually have to jump on the price drops. I don't think they are price mistakes and sometimes the price will move up and down many times during the week. Not sure if they are just trying to clear out a certain amount of warehouse inventory and once they do they move the price back up or what.

You're fine, EB does this all the time as darkside mentioned. It's not really a price mistake, usually them trying to get rid of excess stock probably. They will ship it and charge you the right price. I've gotten probably 30 games during EB's random price dropping with info from this site and Cheapassgamer.

On a side note, it was very fast shipping from YesAsia. I got the game in less than a week, right at five days.

EDIT:

Oh my God, about the Mario Kart information. I can play battle mode against the computer??? I can play battle mode ONLINE!?????

One of my biggest video game dreams could come true???
Good choice! I picked this up from a comic/animation fest I went to last week. The game rocks! And is hilarious at the same time. Unfortunately my japanese skills aren't good enough to read the manga at the pace the game goes (which is pretty damn fast), but I can usually just barely make it out. the gameplay is fun, the songs are great (so far just beat the first 4 stages), and the story and characters are funny. definitely a game thats not typical of nintendo to make, but I'm glad they did. I don't see this one coming here but here's hoping .

Everyone here who has a DS should pick that game up. It's quickly becoming my favorite game on the system.

Trust me people, trust me.

Yeah, I think I am really going to like this too. When the game first came out, someone on here posted a link to some site that had about 3 levels or so of this game that you could play on the computer. I had a TON of fun with that, but at the time I did not want to spend 30 bucks. I am VERY glad I got in on this deal (btw, I did end up getting that shipping notice. You were right MSDMONEY, I am good to go!) Thanks again to BrentLumpkin for posting this!

I was actually talking about Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! just now, the part that you quoted me, heh. Polarium is a fantastic game also though, and is a no-brainer for the,former, $14.99 price.

I bought it brand new the day it was released, and I have never regretted it.

Thats the ultimate bling DS for sure. I think the value of those is something like $600 a piece with all the crystals.

DS Screen?

Hello All. I was just wondering about the DS screen. Is it brighter than the sp ? I bought an sp last week and have been very dissapointed with the screen. Its just way to dark even with the light on. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, it's a much better (and brighter) screen than the SP. If I recall correctly the SP is sidelit while the DS has a backlight.

I ordered it a few days ago. First time I've ever felt the need to import a game.

But GBA games don't use the extra space.

They have one of those in a display case at the Nintendo World in Rockefeller Center. It's pretty cool and is totally blinged out.

Nintendo World actually has a bunch of limited edition Game Boys. If you're ever in NYC do check them out.

Advance Wars has a ridiculous amount of content in it. I can't wait to try out the multiplayer this weekend.
