    I'm surprised to see Kmart is still around. All the Kmart's in my area closed down some 5 years ago so.

    As for Black Friday, retailers nationwide will feel massive disappointment. #blackfriday

    @High Speed Indeed: yea thats about what i remeber too. Games for the newest generation console were always $50 until the sega saturn came out, then they had the gall to try to charge $80. After that it went back to $50 until the generation we have now. Of course nintendo wii games are still only $50.

    P.S. Thanks for posting that old ad, my inner child got inexplicably excited when i saw it. #blackfriday

    Dragon Age Origins and Forza are both 'why the fuck haven't you bought me yet at this price' games for 39.99. Especially since they both have DLC in the case that you'd have to pay for buying it used.

    Thats craziness. #blackfriday

    Had to remove the article about the 'new' Lego Batman and Pure Elite bundle being at Walmart now, eh? :P

    "Pure, Lego Batman and Halo ODST for $299"

    THIS, however, is worth noting. That ODST throw in IS new. At least it provides incentive to not just buy the 199 dollar arcade -100 buck gift certificate + 140 dollar 120gb hard drive thingy.

    Though the deal I nabbed for my second 360, 329 for Lego Indy, Kung Fu Panda, Wireless Adapter, Halo 3 (blergh!) and Elite was pretty sweet about a month ago. Have no intention of using the adapter, but its an easy way to not spend 99 bucks and I can give it to my Dad as part of a christmas gift.

    Yasee, he's got a wireless network in his middle of nowhere house and satellite internet, so the option of online play isn't really there, but downloading Arcade games would be nice. Duke Nukem 3D being one of his favourite games of all time. Yes, my 55 year old father likes yelling eat shit and die at the tv while giving money to strippers.

    But I digress.

    Left 4 Dead 2 is 39.99? Seems like you Americans are finally catching the same Walmart break we Canadians have been lately. Borderlands and Batman both launched at 39.99 in Canuck monies.

    EDIT: Also, I realize this is Kmart. A store of such a name which I don't think I've ever seen up here.

    Lets be nice to Zellers. Found a 5 dollar sealed copy of FFT for PSX no longer than five years ago in the throwaway bargain bin.

    ...okay, Zellers is pretty horrible. Unless its in a high profile area, every Z I've been to has been dirty, and seriously lacking any sort of inventory. #blackfriday

    @Komrade Kayce: Yeah, Kmart has had a ton of bad financial luck as well. The one near me closed down at least 5 years ago. It's an okay store. It's basically the same as Walmart without being a juggernaut of savings.

    Still some of these deals are nice, but I don't know if I have a Kmart in driving distance to me. Also, I haven't seen these linked this year...

    Marcinko, is a badass! I hope the game lives up to the man. That said, I'm a bit dismayed that it went to common denominator shooter instead of the tactical game it was supposed to be.

    Does anyone else find it interesting that the man is 68 years old and still looks capable of outperforming modern soldiers?

    All of a sudden the Punisher comics don't seem so far fetched by having Castle being a similarly aged Vietnam vet kicking ass.
