I don't want or need it since I am going to mod my xBox and void the warranty anyway....:confused:

Even though I slept through half of my college classes I believe that is an illegal practice.

Starting Sunday at Best Buy Halo is going to be on sale for 29.99

Also if you have a recent game magazine check to see if you have a coupon for 5off coupon for Best Buy. If so then Halo is only 24.99.

Wal-Mart B&M has Bloodwake for $19.82.

They also had Namco Museum for $29.92 (that'd be 7 cents off the regular price :p ), anybody have a list of games that are on there? It's annoying that they don't list the games on the front, only four games directly listed, and '3 new games plus other Namco titles!' is a bit vague. I didn't feel like hunting down an employee to open the case, and see if they were listed on the back. :( If Gaplus/Galaga 3 is one of the games, I'll probably buy it.

I didn't see anything about a free controller with the Sega bundle at Wal-Mart when I was there, can anybody give more info on it?

Also, two things on the main post say they expired on the 26th.

You guys must live in some other world than I do...standing in line at best buy here is a 30 minute job minimum, plus just getting to 71st and Memorial is a major hassle. To buy something early and price match it later would easily entail an extra hour in the transaction.

I saw this on the Walmart website last Sunday, but the ad is gone now so it must be over. :(

Can someone tell me when Phantasy Star Online is coming out on Xbox? I hit the normal spots but no release date or presell crap anywhere. I really loved that game on the DC

No Splinter Cell demos at my ToysRUs, but at least the guy knew what I was talking about. He said he had not received any yet.

I went to Bestbuy b&m. Didn't see the 5 dollar coupon on the back of the jewel case for the gift card. Is it supposed to be there or do they give it to you at checkout?

Was this one of the jewel cases that are mixed in with the games? The one I have is a green gift card with a an Xbox controller on the left and a tv with a basketball video game pictured. Holograph image alters between "He Shoots"/"He Scores". On the back of the cardboard the Gift Card is attached to, there is a coupon for $5 off.

Yup, it was placed in with the games. I saw the he shoots he scores hologram thing too. But no coupon on the back. I checked all of them. Weird. It's attached to the cardboard right?

Do you live in Tulsa? I used to live there. 71st and memorial is considered on of the world's most dangerous intersections - I didn't think it was all that bad. There was a lot of traffic though.

Yeah, 71st and 169 is much worse now. On the other side where it was all fields 3-5 years ago is now a 12 Screen Theatre w/an Imax, Supertarget, two strip malls, Kohls, Office Depot, two motels, a convention center/hotel and 7 restaurants. All between 169 and Garnett (approx half a mile) and all built in the last 3 years.

Ummm....and now returning to the regularly scheduled program...

Several new deals today, including the MS High-Def Pack, which is now only $4.98 at Target.
Remember: YMMV widely, especially when dealing with The Bullseye!
