I already have the Japanese version--I want the American one, too. Viva Piñata will be fun for me to play with my daughters. (but I wasn't asking for permission ;) )

I'm already in the hole for Marvel Ultimate Alliance, and soon will be for Guitar Hero2.

I'm not buying anything for this, but the Spiderman 3 trailer coming out with Casino Royale might suck me dry b/c of the amount of time I'll spend watching that over and over again instead of other things.

Gears of War just got a 10/10 review from 1up! I was going to buy it anyways, but now the anticipation is on a whole new level.

So far, I've only been successful in bringing home Guitar Hero 2. MY GoW should be here tomorrow (friend at MS--w00t), and Elite Beat Agents is a lock tomorrow too.

Off to sell a kid...

That's an online bundle only. You can't get that from the store, but you're also not forced to buy it in a bundle like some asshole retailers do. Gamestop/Eb didn't do that many presells per store so if you didn't get one and if you're dead set on getting a pre-sell(which isn't gauranteed to ship on the 20th) you now have that option. That's probably 4 games of your choosing and some accessories with the console.

Depending on where you live I think it's a very safe bet that if you head out at midnight on the 18th, or first thing Sunday morning you're not going to have a problem picking up a console or any games you may want. Pre-sells are low just to be on the safe side after the 360 disaster but the quantities are high. Especially at Bestbuys/Targets/Wal-marts

Go out and get jobs, you lazy... wait a sec... I don't work either.

Go out and find a sugar daddy. :p

Don't mind me... I'm just pissed because Amazon seems to have lied to me and not shipped my "Viva Pinata" on time today. And the freakin cartoon theme song is stuck in my head.

Just today I finished paying off my Wii and all my games for it, so now on the 19 I only have to go in and pick it up I don't even need to bring my wallet.

Seeing as my earlier attempts at humor fell on deaf ears I'll throw a real one out there.
Star Trek Legacy comes out Nov 21, and it' looks to be really good... I'm hoping anyway.

Week one down--Viva, GoW, CoD3, GH2, and Elite Beat Agents all in the house. Surprisingly, the ones that compell me to keep playing are Elite Beat Agents and Viva Pinata.

This week is the spendy one. Hold me.

I can't afford even a single game cause my ****ing college keeps upping their tuition rate. I have 3 jobs and I still can barely keep up, dammit! I hope I can get a sweet job when I graduate this may and then I'll be able to get that 360 and Wii that I've always dreamed about.
