This looks really interesting. Thanks for the heads up.

Even the Rock Paper Shotgun guys are guilty in this regard. After several promises to investigate the issue nothing ever came of it.

I think I am going to investigate those guys in my own blog.

Damn you, GoGamer! I guess I’ll have to get DoW II now rather than wait a year or two!

I’m thinking about buying Sacred Gold, just because it’s so cheap.

But is the Steam version Vista compatible ?

Exactly my thoughts. I might have to pick up that mouse as well (depending on the reviews)

This week’s Deal of the Week on Xbox Live is Penny Arcade Episode 1 for 50% off. ($10 instead of $20). Is it worth the time? Would anyone here recommend the game?

I really enjoyed it. I’d have no problem recommending it at $20, but $10 is a steal in my mind. It’s a funny game and a genuinely good RPG in the vein of Mario RPG or Paper Mario.

Is Buccaneer worth 10 E?

You can trade drugs for games?

Runs okay on my 32-bit Vista install. Can guarantee no guarantees about a problem-free experience long term or on 64-bit.

Stupid question, are all the “deal of the week” on live for gold members only?

Yes they are.

EB/Gamestop is offering $70 for a DS Lite to DSi upgrade, $50 for the DS Phat to DSi and $20 for the GBA SP to DSi.

Does anyone know if these things usually stack? I have a Phat and a GBA SP, it would be nice to get $70 off a DSi. The store peon was not sure either way.

Omniscia · 2009-04-08T21:11:03.000Z

The DSi doesn’t have a GBA slot, right?

If that’s still the case, I’d consider holding onto the GBA SP, unless you really don’t use GBA carts any longer…

malkav11 · 2009-04-08T21:32:42.000Z

For those tempted by GoGamer’s $30 for DoWII, please remember that you will be paying at least $3 for shipping (and the Dirt Cheap shipping is also dead slow, in my experience). Amazon has it for $36, and that’s with either free Super Saver or free 2-day shipping depending on if you have Prime. It’ll probably work out slightly more expensive to get it from Amazon, but I think it’s still the better deal.

Correct. My wife has a DS Phat though that I could use for the rare GBA game I still play.

Obviously we’ve had different experiences then. I’ve ordered stuff from GoGamer about 4 times now and dirt cheap shipping has never taken longer than 3 or 4 days.

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice for $18.99 shipped on Buy.com.

EDIT: Looks like it’s now OOS. That was fast.
