    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

    If they open at 3AM, it's not worth it.

    Amazon had some great deals last year, and if memory serves their sales began at 3AM too. I'll stick with them instead.

    If you plan on cashing in on this deal, you need to start training immediately if you hope to conquer the crazy black friday shoppers.

    These women shoppers will sacrifice their own kids for 10% off. Im not joking, bitches be crazy. #blackfriday

    Hmm, is Old Navy typically a madhouse on Black Friday? I wouldn't figure they are (clothes shopping on Black Friday?), but I could be wrong. There's an Old Navy down the road where I work, I figure I could go buy a new pair of pants and snag a free game, but I won't bother if it's going to be a pain to shop there. #blackfriday

    Too bad my wife bought it this week, I guess I could always send her to get a copy and then trade it in towards a different game.

    What I do not see though, is which system this is for. Ad does not mention. #blackfriday

    @LAGamer: On the ad, it is written that "your preferred platform may not be available." I take that to mean that at the very least, the 360 and PS3 versions will be offered (and probably Wii, since it has the same MSRP).

    I'd actually prefer the DS version, which has gotten some good press. No plastic peripherals! But its MSRP is $20 lower. Who knows. #blackfriday

    @NeVeRMoRe666: I have done that as well, Toys 'r us for B2G1, just looked at my receipt and it says 30 days to do a return. So it might be totally worth getting up at that time to save $50. Well $30 after I buy something for $20. #blackfriday

    Lest we not speak of how much I had to pay (or my mum did, rather) for my copy of Virtua Racing for my Genesis.

    @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

    Even Super Street Fighter 2 for the megadrive (genesis) was about £55. #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.
