Is there any way to sort that huge list? I don't think anyone will be buying Madden 05 for 49.99...

Damn, I guess I'll stop by the B&M after work as I'm also picking up Eternal Sonata, Death Proof and Married.. with Children Season 7 today. Might as well see if I can add a few more DS or PSP games to the library.

The in-store deal is usually later in the year for the holidays. I'm not sure if this is the same or not. Looks like the better games are closer to the end of the list. I suggest starting at the last page and working your way backwards. I so don't need any more games right now but it is tempting.

I think I'm still going to wait for the usual late October B&M sale. Even though there's no guarantee it'll happen, I can't think of a 3rd $60 game I want after Blue Dragon & Eternal Sonata. Maybe something will come out by then.

I see they also have B1G1 50% off on accessories, including points cards, controllers, HD-DVD drives, etc.

Wondering if there are any accessories I need...hmmm....

A lot of the games I'm interested in aren't part of this sale for some reason. It used to be everything, guess that isn't the case any more.

So, only good on currently released titles and not preorders, right? I'll pass.

Thanks.

Just ordered for Wii:

$49.99 Metroid Prime 3 (perfect timing...almost finished with MP2)
$49.99 Mario Strikers Charged
$00.00 Wii Play (needed remote for Mario Party...hoping to recoup about $20 for the game)

Total was $114 after tax and shipping...or ~$95 after selling Wii Play...or ~ $30 + tax each for the 2 games and the extra Wiimote.

Wii top sellers:

Points cards are almost a good deal, but shipping/tax hurts.

Someone over at slickdeals is saying that it works in-store as well...Haven't seen anyone else confirm it though.

I thought about getting some Wii games for when my wife and I are on vacation next week but I'm not seeing anything that interests me. I'd love to get Stranglehold but it's the only 360 game on that list that I want but haven't played yet.

If they had skate. on the list, I'd get it, Bioshock, and another game, but no go for now. If it's in stores too (with the possibility of all games being included) I'd probably be in.

There's a few confirmations on SD now. Might be worth checking out if you're nearby.

Yep, sounds like it will work in-store, get them to scan it if they don't believe you.

I've got about 4200 Live points currently, debating whether to get 8000 more for $79...? Obviously not dirt cheap, but is this about as good of price as we'll see in the next couple months, you think? I primarily want to load up for GH or Rock Band DLC.

And as for games, I really want Bioshock and skate., but what other $60 games are there? The Eternal Sonata demo was fun, but I'm not sure it's my cup of tea.

8000 points for $79? I assume that includes tax and shipping? That's 101.27 points/$. Retail is less than 80 points/$ after tax.

What would it be for 4 1600 point cards (6400 points)?

It'd be more for 1600 point cards, but not very much. $63.30 after tax, so 101.11 points/$.

It's over 20% off, so it's probably as good a deal as there'll be until someone pulls a B1G1 like CC did a few months ago.

Go for it.
