@Ulquiorra Schiffer: not everyone lives in a nice house with enough space for a garden.

EA presents Sports Gym Special Edition! Bundled with a hockey stick, baseball bat, golf club, bongo drums (to simulate basketball or soccer dribbling), football helmet (purpose yet to be determined), and NASCAR wheel (also works with NFS). Does that cover all the EA active games?

Now you'll get bidding wars where the city of Pittsburgh pays to get Peyton Manning on the cover.

I hope all the promotional features, trailers, and print work will be included in the game package.

@ViciousViper: I got that one as well, bought two in fact for $55. No idea how that happened, but it was the same Circuit City I mentioned eariler.

@FLYBOY611: That reminds me of Best Buy doing a clearance on PC games "3 for $25". I bought Star Wars: Best of PC, Guild Wars Nightfall, and Quake Wars: Enemy Territory for $25. Sold them on ebay for $55.

The most recent killer deal I can recall is thus: Circuit City gave away a promotional kit with purchase of Phantom Hourglass, which was a branded, green stylus and earphone set for the game. I noticed that it had its own itemized listing on the receipt ($7.99 or something, and the game listed for $28 instead of…

I'll just preorder the regular edition at Gamestop and get the yellow bag as a bonus (I wouldn't normally shop there, but I have an online gift certificate to burn).

excellent, now I can finally use that gift card I got 2 years ago, I've never spent money at a Blockbuster

Open all the windows and save money on the air-conditioning bill.

So he can be the record holder for 2008 even though the year isn't over yet? I suppose that means it goes into a print edition and can't be updated?

Notice the date of activation? 10/9/08 (7, 6, 5...)

I think EA's definition of "limited" will be different from everyone else's.

Is it pronounced like the "V before R" in "hors d'oeuvres"? Is Favre a French name?

@kadaj24: I agree, not much like Dizon at all, more like this one - [www.topnews.in]

I liked the pewter figurines they used to include in the box.

It seems pretty easy to destroy a starship with hundreds of people on board. Wouldn't there have been advancements in autonomous or remotely operated vessels by then?

@Roll3r: He did say he's never been there, so let's take this opportunity to educate everyone.

aww, right after my PS3 goes blooey and needs to be sent in for repairs

I guess Favre in a Jets uniform is a perfect opportunity for a microtransaction.
