It cost me a spare zboz I had laying around that I had repaired (which ended up having both a flashed DVD drive and being banned from XBL) and some money to buy a used power brick.

It's a PS2 stick, and I can upconvert that to PS3/USB easily enough. I thought about having it wired for a zboz but that would have been a real pain in the ass and limiting my options.

What select button? :V Actually, the location of the start button is the one thing I don't like about it.

...and on other news, I bought Space Giraffe. It's Not Tempest. :x

Viva Pinata and Memory Card Adaptor

That's fucked up. I've never seen it, but I'll definitely be weary of it in the future. The only time I really go to EB/GS is when they have midnight releases for games I want and other places aren't, or if they have a LE that I want that isn't available anywhere else. Otherwise I stay the fuck away from that place, it's always an aggravating experience when I go into one of those stores.

I know they did that with GunGrave OD

Bioshock
MLB 2K7

Both for 360

Usually on new releases, they jack up the prices after a week or two, they drop it back down to msrp. So they probably didnt replace the sticker price. Or if its an old game, they just didnt update the price on the sticker.

Some guitar picks...that I already lost. Fuck.
