The Fine Pouch DS Lite looks like a spin on the All-in-Guard Hori PSP cases.
That's to say, they're Very Nice.
Edit: In retrospect, merging this into the cheap stuff thread.

How the hell do you review a screen protector or DS case?

Yeah, because a DS of any color just SCREAMS "manliness."  |

I really meant to post this last night, but whatever.
Starting today, and ending June 17, EBstop is having a sale called Game Days.
Basically, they're trying to clear out a lot of old stock, with discounts of 25%-50% off of the posted price. Each store is going to have differences in what they actually are selling for this thing (the marked items were all sent specifically for this sale. My store got 600 or so items). Lots of new (but dated) games and accessories. There are actually a few gems hidden among the trash.
So go, scrounge among the stupid bins they made us drop in the already-crowded stores, at your own peril!

So I want to take advantage of this 25% off used XBOX360 games (Coupon 25U360) and pick up Dead Rising, Crackdown and RB6:Vegas all used from Gamestop.com Have you ever bought used from there? Rainbow Six: Vegas - Used Xbox 360 1 Usually ships in 24 hours $54.99
Dead Rising - Used Xbox 360 1 Usually ships in 24 hours $34.99
Crackdown - Used Xbox 360 1 Usually ships in 24 hours $39.99
Sub-Total: $129.97
Discount: $32.49
Handling (No additional shipping fee): $7.49
Tax: $5.24
TOTAL: $110.21
What do you guys think, worth it? Also, I noticed this: "This is a used video game. It is guaranteed to work on your Xbox 360 video game console and may not include a box or instruction manual." What does it mean? Can I go into EBStop and pick up a case? Can I apply this -25% discount in store anyways, saving me the price of shipping? |

$55 for a used version of R6:Vegas? Heck I'll sell mine for $50! ($10 less than I paid for it!)
I would guess the coupon only works online.

I normally wouldn't consider anything less than a $10 difference. With the coupon it's like $40 bucks. |

Odd, last night I was wondering when Play-Asia would start their summer sale. Turns out it starts today. 20% off everything in stock. Gundam Musou - Do you like Dynasty Warriors? If so... |

I noticed the JP version of Ninja Gaiden Sigma is $59.90 and the NA version is $64.90, so... what's the deal there? Different disc or just silly pricing? If it's the same pressing then I should get the JP version. Hell, I might anyway, it's not like I don't know what's going on with Hayabusa-san.

Play-Asia has to import US stuff, ironically, that makes it more expensive. The American Version is already out. Just go walk into Gamestop and buy it.

This is not video game related but just in case you loved Hot Fuzz and don't own Shaun of the Dead, Best Buy is selling a Hot Fuzz package that includes both movies for a mere $20. That is nice. I love both movies.  |
My Genesis games... LET ME SHOW YOU THEM!

If that had Component-In, I'd buy it right now.
And that's why they're $350.

There's a Wootoff today. www.woot.comI see some orange flashing lights on the main page – what do they mean?No, you aren't seeing a side effect from your allergy medication. You have found a Woot-Off, a short term frenzied mutation of our product posting procedure. In Woot-Off mode, a new product is launched immediately after the sellout of the previous deal. There is a half-Woot-life of 12 hours maximum on any product within a Woot-Off that does not sell out. The number of Woot-Off items, sequence, and quantity will not be announced. When Woot-Off mode is over, the orange lights will disappear and our normal schedule will resume. Depending on its success, this may be a mode we would go into once or twice a month for a relatively short duration of time (24-72 hours generally.) |

I walked into a Target the other day and while shopping for a new cell phone charger, saw a G11 keyboard for $50 USD. Not sure if that qualifies here, but they also had one series of the Z speakers usually at $99.99 retail at $69.99.
I love my G11, and paid $70 for it awhile back.

For those of you interested in ripping off Bestbuy, there is currently a way that you can get a PS3 for about $400 (80GB). Target currently has the PS3 80GB Motorstorm pack at $459.99. Best buy will beat this price by 10% with proof that the price is really this much. That'd be $459.99-$45.99=$415.00, folks. Is that the least expensive the 80GB PS3 has been at retail so far?  |

Wasn't this a sticky awhile back?

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.
