Speaking of discounts I found myself in a gamestop yesterday while my wife was in a craft store and portal 2 on 360 is still $40 new there.
It was like being in crazy land.
Games with Old.
Say what you want, but this is another reason I'm moving to Sony next gen. They get how to do discounts right.
MS might learn, but they need to show me first.

Vintage pricing.
I have a feeling that Sony's deals will get worse over time and MS' will get better.
I have yet to get Plus (probably a mistake), but I do want to get it before the PS4 hits. Why am I waiting? I don't know. For me, it's mostly because I buy the games I want at launch. A free cut-down Driveclub is worth nothing to me since I am buying it Day One. Resogun is a great get though. But if it's limited in any way, then it also has zero value to me.
can't wake up
The reason why Portal 2 360 new is so expensive is because nobody who wants Portal 2 360 now is buying it new. I can buy it used on Amazon for $12.
It sounds crazy and unintuitive, but I am serious when I say the used game market props up prices.
Unfortunately, opaque is (understandably) confused.
Gamestop charges $39.99 for a USED copy of Portal 2. Because they're asshats. The same asshats that charge a 10-15 dollar premium on the Left 4 Dead games and were charging $25 for gta iv when everyone still had it for 20 new.
The price should come down since a bunch of asshats were buying it during TRU'S 3 for 30 sale and trading them in for $17 to gamestop.
For anyone that still has/uses the HD-DVD drive, how loud is it when playing movies? I played mine for the first time in over a year and it seems a lot louder than I remember it, but at the old house it was also much further away. I'm just trying to figure out if something's wrong with it or if my memory is just shot. It also had issues with a movie (the first Matrix,) but I popped a second movie in and it played perfectly all the way through.

It's still plugged in.
Gohan: I dont notice much noise out of it. I dont hear anything with the one hooked up to the slim 360, and my resident evil system upstairs is so loud that it drowns out any noise anyway.
As far as your matrix goes, if you do a lil googling binging, you will find that some hd dvds, warner especially, are succumbing to disc rot.
