Stopped in at Gamestop today and I remembered why I seldom buy anything there. Used prices of $5 for Rock Revolution and $20 for SD vs. Raw 2010? ...They're the same prices at Best Buy for new copies. Has to do with sales, I would think. I remember looking for Thrillville: Off the Rails and the cheapest I could find at GS was $18.00, yet Sega Superstars Tennis was, I think, $4.00. SST is $4 used now thanks to that one year it was bundled with the Arcade unit. And game bundled with a 360 usually drops in price cause it means a lot more people have it. Doubt they'll do it for Forza 3 or ODST, though.

So, in 10 days, the Deadliest Warrior game drops onto Live Arcade. Anyone else gonna get it? It's only 800 Microsoft Funbucks, and all the reports I'm reading have said it is a very solid fighting game.

I hadn't heard about this until you mentioned it and google'd it, and yes I think I will be getting it.

Doubt they'll do it for Forza 3 or ODST, though. I understand that, but the fact that a nearly three-year old game used is four times more expensive is kind of ridiculous. Oh, and I found it at Walmart a week later for 15. I almost sent it back, but decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Last time I took something back there, I had to explain their return policy to them three times to take back a headset that the guy that sold it to me said "Oh, I shouldn't have sold that to you, those are crap."

Probably not for a while (like until the PH comes out), and ODST has dropped in price a good bit sooner than 3 did, but yeah... I don't see ODST hitting $10 for a used copy until the next system comes out.

It was $27 new last time I checked on amazon, though. I've also seen it hit $29.99 on sale at K-Mart on Target off and on.

So, I got the MadCatz Rock Band 2 microphone (the one with the controller buttons built in) that I ordered. It feels a bit plastic and light compared to the regular Rock Band mic, but besides that it works nicely. I can't say if it registers your voice any better than the regular model, but I did five-star "Skullcrusher Mountain" on hard (okay, it's an easy Tier 2 song, but still) when I tried it out and didn't seem to have problems with the higher pitches like I've often had with the regular mic. Of course, it could be that I've just learned to sing better...
I'm also thinking of picking up Lego Rock Band tomorrow if I find it cheap. The track listing in that game isn't really all that special, but hey, it's got Iggy Pop in it.
I wonder what happened to the official Rock Band thread... maybe I should search for it so I can bitch about there not being any Misfits or Stooges songs in the DLC store and drool over the Pro mode in RB3.

Closing in on finishing up the career aspects of Forza 2. Ferraris are expensive and there are lots.
I'm contemplating picking up something to play next... not sure what, though.

I'll probably settle for FIFA 2010. I just got into Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 with my friend, and it's hella fun. It's a pain in the ass if you're not on the same page as your buddy, but yelling for help ("OH DEAR GOD EVERYONE IS DEAD HELP") and waiting for your friend's lazy ass army to back you up is funny.

Can't go wrong either way. Both titles are some of the best football/soccer games on the market.

31/50 Achievements down for SSFIV.
Just got "3 ranked matches won in a row" as well as getting Sakura up to C rank. I'm about 7 or so online matches away from the "300 matches fought achievement."
