Black Friday always brings good deals at Best Buy. Little yellow bins of overstocked goodness. Yum.
I should have grabbed Blade Runner's Director's cut for $5, but rumor is another deluxe version is in the works.
The only thing I did pick up was the Grand Theft Auto 2 pack for $20. I'll give it a go when Im done with Sudeki.
Other choices I passed on: Star Wars Starfighter, Full Spectrum Warrior, some goofy racing game. All $10 a pop
More suprising, I found Tenhu and Breakdown in the clearance pile at Target as well.. $10 a pop.
Remember kids, what ever you dont like can be traded up towards something you wanna try later. :P

More Cheap Xbox Goodness
Well.. my rebate coupon (of sorts) came in for my Fable & Hintbook combo.. Well.. yeah I paid full price for it.. but I had a job for it back then.
So, after a quick lunch, off to EB again.. Hmm? Sudeki in the used bin for $18? Coupon is good for $15? SOLD!

HALO 2 goodness (Cheap Xboxing)
As I was writing the Hockey post, I reminded myself of picking up Halo 2 last week.
$10 deposit down for Game and hint book.. Hint book had a heavy discount when you get it on the same reciept as the game, So I thought.. why not?
Double value on trade-ins towards Halo 2. I had about 10 games/DVDs.
Balance: $13
So I paid about $23 total.
So keep an eye out for trade-in deals and unload your old DVDs and games. They add up! Plus you'll have less crap in your house!

HOCKEY RULES (cheap Xboxing again)
As there is no hockey this year, I have to find alternate hockey entertainment.
First off, there IS minor league hockey in Atlanta. Its a schlep for where I am, but its hockey and the team is quite good. We went on Halloween.. they even broke the glass for us. :)
More importantly and just as fun, is hockey on the Xbox. I have EA 2003 and it gets old pretty fast.
A few months ago, Coke ran a promo for ESPN's whatever anniversary, drink 10 cokes, svae up some bottlecap codes and get $10 off a ESPN branded game. Good deal as the games are $20 to begin with.
That, plus reviews are pointing out that ESPN games are comparable (and in our case, ESPN Hockey got a better review) to the EA line made this purchase a no-brainer. Next year, there wil be some serious EA/ESPN battles.. MADDEN watch out!
So a few cokes, some code entering on the PC and some mail waiting time later, I get my coupon. The coupon has activation dates for each game so as to make a buffer between the releases. Kind makes sense. You dont what the whole world coming in to use they're coupons when NFL comes out.
So yesterday , the coupon was good for, you guessed it, ESPN hockey 2005. Heres the best part: I brought in 3 anime DVDs with me to trade in as well. Total cost: $0
GO ME! Let my Hockey fix begin!

So much for the new PC
$1500 in car upkeep.
Ow. If I havent picked up your Xmas present by now, dont expect one.
Well.. new belts & brakes... the 120K checkup. Ill tell you.. it makes the car drive so much better. Done at the Honda dealership (it was the first major work on the car.. I want it done right.. and guaranteed).
"$1500? Thats a down payment on a new car!" You cry.
"Ahh.. young parasite," I reply, "and with what job would I have to make car payments?"
Like my cousin Barb says, "Youre done. Your car is good for another 120K and you dont have lousy car payments."
So with that, PC shopping is on indefinite hold. Again.

Happy Halo Day!
In anticipation for picking up Halo 2 tonight, I decided to have a quick run through SP Halo to prepare myself.
And let me tell you.. It was bad.. The controls arent much different from other console FPS's why did it feel so.. clunky? Looking around with the right stick seemed like a chore.
How did I finish the game the first time? That was 18 months ago.
