A Three Payday Month and Two Gift Cards From X-Mas

And so the shopping adventure begins....

First stop, shopping the web. So I don't know if anyone here played EA's Fantasy Football this year. I did because I seem to have become a dirty Achievement whore (I'll enter into the 12 step program later this year). With the EA Score Tracker only 80 MS points why not. Well an interesting side effect besides a 200 bump in my Gamerscore is that I managed to win my league. As the winner of the league I got a $25.00 coupon good at the EA online store. Their store doesn't have much in it, but it did have Left 4 Dead. Ding!

Also big purchase for my PS3, but that is a later post when everything gets here.

So, next stop Target. The video game section looks pathetic. It looks like they got well picked over during the holiday season. Not a whole lot to choose from. In the end the only video game thing I get is a 4000 Microsoft points card. Meanwhile they have a helluva clothing sale going on. (I got 2 hoodies, a flannel/hoodie, and a flannel all for $25.00)

Next stop, walk downstairs to Best Buy. Fallout 3 Collectors Edition is the same price as the normal edition, $56.99. Mine. Sheer curiosity has me grab Rock Revolution since it's $19.99. And finally a WoW time card, because some friends have been begging me to come back.

Last stop GameStop. I've been craving the Lego Indiana Jones lately. GameStop had the Lego Indiana Jones/Kung Fu Panda bundle pack for $39.99. As I scan the shelves I notice some more GameStop sneakiness. The have taken some of the bundles and have split them cutting the double cover into two. The result is they are selling the "used" Lego Indiana Jones for $44.99, I did even look for the "used" Kung Fu Panda. Anyway with my "Gamers Edge" card I got the bundle pack for $29.99 (their system lists it as $26.99, after discount and taxes...).

Not a bad bit of shopping.
