Games! Games! Games!

Okay, I'm consolidating multiple Fry's trips because I haven't had time to update in a long while.

All of the video game companies see fit to release AAA title after AAA title right during Christmas. For those of us that are addicts, this time of the year is especially hard on the wallet. Example:

November 9th (hmm... wonder what I could have gotten?): Halo 2 Collectors Edition, 2 XBox S-controllers (for multi-player fun with my other XBox), and the VEG Lite VGA adapter (since returned, as it's quality is awful). $189.39

November 10th (THE NEXT DAY?!): Katamari Damacy (PS2, finally in stock) and Mobile PC Magazine. $28.12 Whew, a light day.

November 16th (Take a wild guess #2): Half-Life 2 Collector's Edition, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. $183.99

November 17th (Gah, next day again): Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Paper Mario. Can't find the recepit, but I believe it came to $97.40.

Okay, comments... Yes, I did buy Paper Mario and San Andreas late. That is, assuming you believe that a week or so later is 'late'. I considered Need For Speed Underground 2, but the fact that you have to drive to the shop/races/etc. turns me off a bit. Plus, it's not like I don't have other things to play.

Amazingly I haven't bought any real computer equipment lately. I'm still waiting on the Socket 939 boards with PCI-Express, and will upgrade once those come out. HL2 runs surprsingly well regardless, so maybe that $ can be put elsewhere.

The store itself hasn't started getting crazy busy yet... but it'll come. Based on my repeated visits, I can tell that there are a lot of new people. Best of luck surviving the holiday season boys & girls!
