While looking at the Micro Center Ad that came in the mail today I saw that they had a bunch of games for sale for $9.99 that are normally much more expensive (6 of these were Wii movie tie-in titles that were out of stock). Not only that, but they were also running a 25% clearance on any items that havd an orange sticker. I decided to go to town and picked up the following:

The weekly ad for EB Games & Gamestop. By far the best deal is on F.E.A.R. for the Xbox 360.
Yes, yes, yes! I bought the last two LEGO Star Wars

Armor Trigger is a rather fun little set of mini-games that have you questing through a series of stages as either Footsy (Easy) or Bobby (Hard). Each stage is randomized leading to a lot of replayability of the game. You’ll have to be quick on your mouse to get through some of the stages because they’re timed. The music throughout the game is maddening, so you’ll want to turn down the volume control on your computer for a bit.

We popped into Wal Mart today to pick up some kids shampoo (it was near the Burger King we took them to lunch after swimming at the YMCA), and found theres’s a LOT of $5 DVD movies on their clearance section, with quite a few good ones. Being a complete Sci-Fi nut, I managed to pick up a few titles I didn’t have yet on DVD, including Escape from New York, Escape from LA and Top Secret. Obviously your mileage will vary when you get to your own local stores, but I saw a lot of movies that are pretty recent and are decent flicks too. Well worth looking into if you want to build your DVD library.
Amazon.com just dropped me a note to let me know Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii is now available for Pre-Order for $49.99 and has a release date of November 12, 2007.
I’m of two minds about this at the moment. I really want to get this game for Wii-Vent ‘07, but I think I can hold off for another couple of months until I pick one up used. The question becomes do I want to pre-order, hold off and see if I can get it cheaper during the mad, mad Black Friday sales of Thanksgiving, or wait to pick it up used. I’ve a feeling it’s one of those titles that isn’t going to be available used for some time, and it’s a game the whole family will enjoy this Crimble. If I do buy from Amazon, then there’s no sales tax (saving me 6.75% there, and I’ll make a little on commission (another 4%), so I can get this for about 10% cheaper new. Decisions, decisions. Luckily I’ve got until November to decide.
As I get close to the final redesign of the IATB site, I’ve decided to take the weed whacker equivalent for ads to the Google Ads on the site, and will be dropping most of them. I’ve been following a lot of the ad links that have been showing up and while some are pretty good, most are for those “FREE CONSOLE” scams that require you to sign up for multiple promotions from other companies so you can qualify for whatever you’re trying to get. I’m going to pull back to one Google Ad block on the main site, along with some in-article links on the longer articles. Google hasn’t really made too much moolah for me anyway (probably due to the type of ads), so I’d rather use the screen real estate for things that might benefit readers.
