Here's another interesting one for today: Pokemon Pearl @ $19.99. Those of you who may have been holding back, buy it now. I've got over 200 hours on my copy (I kid you not).

For some reason I thought Gold box deal = deal for the old Gold Box series from SSI sold on Amazon. I'm a sad panda.

Same here. They can't be jerking old time gamers around like that!

Yes, having never played a Pokemon game for more than an hour before, I decided to pick it up.

I also noticed that Viva Pinata is down to $20, so I picked that up to. That might be a nice relaxing game to play after sessions of Bioshock, you know, to get your heart rate down.

You may have been kidding, but I think this game is great for 30 bucks. No way would I have spent 60 for it, even 50 on the PC would be too much (not counting the Vista overhead). At 30 dollars though, this game is a lot of fun. I would probably adjust a numerical rating scale for it up at least 25%.

I think it needs to go down another $1.50.

I'd pay a couple of quarters for it just to light the box on fire and piss on the ashes.

For you, Amazon's selection formula is "You=Emo kid."

However, considering they've got me tagged for the "Viva Pedro - The Almodovar Collection" DVD set, I'm not sure it's firing on all cylinders.

Today's deal:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker - $25

And that's with free Super Saver shipping. Definitely worth it. I've been playing it lately, and it's quite good. I got mine on eBay for almost the same price ($20.50, $5 shipping - though it's more like $2.50 shipping since I won another auction the same day from the same person, who was kind enough to combine shipping for $5 less)
