Sounds like a good plan. I think Best Buy still price matches.

It's YMMV when price matching something that may be out of stock, so I wouldn't open the game until you get the price match next week.

I played it safe and waited to open it, but they gave the price match with no problems and I ended up getting it for $7.99. It was a good thing I did it this way because Circuit City had zero copies of it this morning.

Awesome! For that price, they may as well have paid you to take it. You're going to get way more than $8 out of that.

I got mine for $7.99 after PM at BB. Haven't had the chance to play it yet.

I did play the demo when they gave out the demo disc before launch. It was amazing.

FINALLY started back playing this after 2 months or so. Knocked out a couple hours in the last few days.

Getting ready to go to Argonia. My levels are Hero - 30, Yangus - 29, Jessica - 29, angelo - 29

I am about 38 hours in

Does this sound right?

The price of this game has been dropped to $19.99 or less. I saw it at WalMart for $19.82.

I picked mine up for $40, and it was worth it at that price. If you still haven't got this game yet, you don't have any excuse not to now.

I just bought this game for $19 at best buy. I think it might have become a greatest hit or maybe the price just dropped.

Oh crap you guys already know that. Oh well better late than never.

I've been replaying this lately. I'm currently 20 hours ahead of where I was last time, judging by my previous saves It sure helps knowing where you're going, what you want to do, and where to level. Great game, $19 very well spent.

Anyone know the difference between the red dots and the blue dots on the world map?

Just started this game and boy is there a lot of grind. Getting to that crystal ball was a pain in my butt. Well the good news is I'm almost done I think. Some girl ran away from home to get revenge on the person that killed her brother. Once I find her and help her out I guess that's it. I was sure there was more to this game but I guess not.

One thing that could have made the game better is if they showed what stuff you were wearing instead of having the same old outfits. If I get a metal hat I want to see my guy wearing a metal hat. Also how about a save anywhere or at least let us save on the world map.

I don't want to be all negative here. The story was good but could have been fleshed out some more. The cartoon look was great. The old school rpg feel takes me back to a nicer time without mechs, flying ships and space battles. Just a good old fantasy rgp.

About the clothes....
Spoiler:
Also, you could change Jess' clothes via I think 2 or 3 different outfits that actually showed up when equipped.

I'm not sure if you were joking about how far you are in the game but you're no where close to the end. I'd say 1/10 to 1/8 done.
