The Shrine

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Just in case anyone was looking for a new handheld RPG, well maybe new is not the word. Final Fantasy: Dawn of Souls was released today.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Lotta places don't have it. EB told me it ships today, and should be out Tues or Wed.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Speaking of EB games, I have never bought a new game there for the reason that they always seem to get their shipments in 2-5 days later than Futureshop and other places. Is it like that everywhere?</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>Well that's the funny thing, my EB ususally gets their stuff on time, it's RARE that I have to go elsewhere.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Same day here. You're just in the boonies :-)</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>The ONLY reason I've become an EB regular is because my bud's a manager and I get freebies and deals sometimes. They're too expensive, usually $3-5 more than any other place, even the smaller stores</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>And that's for new games. Their used game prices are atrocious. Even my friend shakes his head at their used prices (the manager). You have to catch them as their dumping to get a good price there</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>The manager at mine is a pricing whore, he watches the competion something sick, and always drops or sells the games at the correct price.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Really? He's not supposed to. At least up here, the prices are centrally set....FOR CANADA. Fucking idiots, they think that someone living in my town, where there's like 12 stores where you can get games, is the same as someone living where Seek's living, where there's only one person every 2 miles</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Saw a used copy of Ninja Gaiden for $40. I put it back.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The one here is a fairly trashy looking store. It's kind of like athe ghetto version of Microplay =P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I knew you were American. #1 you use miles, #2 you like football, #3 you are ignorant =)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>If it is barely used and everything is in perfect condition, they usually just take 10% off the price. I just don't understand how they can price used N64 and Dreamcast controllers for 50% more than brand new ones at many other stores.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Yeah, it's insane. But that's Tecmo for you, their games NEVER drop in price, it's ridiculous. Volleyball is still like $50 used around here</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>maybe those controllers have withstood the test of time and are thus more valuable.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt ; text-align: left; '>I've seen some N64 controllers that have been destroyed, Analog hangs to the left and it causes people to run left when the game in running, lol.</div>
