Why are they calling it black friday?

[ChaoofNee]

It's a retail thing that's been happening for years, doofus. Geesh.
It's the day after Thanksgiving when income for retail stores goes in the "black."

It also sucks, which makes "black" mean "annoying doom."

On Black Friday (I have no idea when that is), EB Games will be selling SD cards really cheap. I know of a 2GB card that's being marked down from $90 to $40. If you plan on using Virtual Console, you'll need at least a gig.

I thought one couldn't back up the games onto the SD-Card, though...

Haha, I always thought it was a Christian thing.

You should get smacked for thinking of getting memory cards from EB/GS. You can get 2GB SD cards for $20 after rebate. Just go to dealnews.com for deals.

Capitalism > Religion. Always.

Not that it matters, but it seems all EB/GS stores got their Wii shipments in today. They also have PS3 and Wii games in as well. The PS3 cases look stupid.

Do all of the Wii games and shit have release date things on them so I can't do what i did with the GBA launch and walk in and buy them before the system is released?

I know accessories are for sale where available. Not sure about the games.

Wont do us any good if we still have to wait till Sunday for the systems. Are the games for sale already? What about accessories? I want to know if they'll be selling the nunchuck and wiimote early.

LOL.

Fry's sells 2GB SD cards for less that $40 every single day. Fuck, if you go to Frys.com you can get a 4GB SD for $70.
