After finding out that the EB 50% off sale was continuing, I took a trip to the Butler store. Nothing much on the shelf, but the manager told me there was a lot of stock in the back and he seemed pretty intent on moving it.

After he spent an hour in the back finding the titles I wanted, I wound up with something like 38 NES games for 66 dollars. Nothing too exciting, though I did finally get carts of Roger Rabbit and Adventures of Lolo.

The best part of the find was that it sent me up over the 400 NES mark (from 378 all the way to 410).

I spent a nickel today. I bought "Squaresoft on Playstation 1998 Collector's CD vol. 1" off a buddy at college. It has a playable demo of Xenogears and videos of FF VIII, Brave Fencer Musashi, and Bushido Blade 2.

I just HAD to get Okage after that post about it a few weeks ago, and Walmart had it for $15 so I impulse bought it. Hot Shots and Metroid were $20 a pop...and while I'm not a huge Metroid Prime fan, I figured it'd be worth checking out for $20.

Hot Shots is a game I haven't played since the first playstation version, but it looks real fun and supports online play, so hell...why not? I loved the shit out of the first game.

So the EBgames 50% off sale is still going on? Any idea of when they will stop running it?

I read somebody on here mention it so I called to confirm the sale, and yes, it's still on apparently... at least at the Butler store. I thought it was over at the beginning of the month myself, but the manager there was all about the 50% sale and unloading his stock. All I can say is to call the local EB and find out for sure. My guess is that they'll just leave it run until the stock is gone. But just that, a guess. Maybe somebody else can help?

To answer the questions posed to me in this thread...

LadyJaye - in my case, I would have preferred the Monster Truck game...

The Target thing looks to be fairly widespread, check your clearance shelves...they also had Donkey Konga 2 without bongos for $18...

apparently that arthur game is kinda hard to find, according to Dangerboy. listed as an R4 in the guide, so i guess it was a decent find. i'm pretty excited about tetris plus though....
