Well, I ended up cruising out to that BB I didn't feel like going to the other day (today I spent all day cleaning the house and doing yard work so I
wanted to get out this time). I traded in WSOP and picked up the two Mystery Dungeon games. That gives me an entry at that store (my only one besides at my local store). I think they do a lot more business though so I'm unlikely to win there. They also gave me one of the Summer Games bags and boy it was even more disappointing than the pics and description. The "dry erase board" is nothing more than a (folded and creased) piece of paper sort of in between regular paper and cardboard. My kids liked the medal, though it is even cheesier than I imagined. They used the tattoos and that provided about 10 minutes of entertainment. I haven't inflated the two noisemaker sticks but I suppose they can beat each other with those. It would be better than knocking off one of the DVD shelves like they did tonight at BB while I was in line

.
Anyway, they did that at my local store and it was nearly empty so the embarassment was small - it was just the lower shelf with about 6 Strawberry Shortcake DVDs on it. So I had to reassemble and re-sort those.
This is to the guy who couldn't get the Star Wars Force Unleashed preorder done because they couldn't find it: my local store had a TV playing a looping demo video/game creation interview of Force Unleased by the cash register. So they are making a big push for that game. The other store had a handwritten sign calling it "one of the best games to come out in the last several years" :lol:. Yeah, OK. I figured I'm renting it at best...
Anyway, they had almost nothing worth getting at the other store to add to the Mystery Dungeon trade-ins. They had a Power Rangers but it was disc-only and the GS I plan to trade these in to has told me I'll get hit with a refurb fee for disc-only. It may only be one guy but I don't want to drive up there for nothing. Fortunately, though, my local store had finally gotten around to converting that so I snagged one with the artwork there along with 1 of the 2 Mystery Dungeon games (giving me my 5th or so entry there). So now I have 2 of 1 and 1 of the other. I was planning on keeping one of them, anyway, for my son (he really likes Chocobo's Dungeon on the Wii and this plays the same way). Tomorrow I'll swing by and purchase Golden Compass and Beautiful Katamari (though that will leave me $10 short for the contest entry

k...). They also have that Iridium Runners with no art work but with a manual - not sure how that dude at GS would deal with that.
So with the Mystery Dungeons, Power Rangers, Golden Compass, and BK I'll make at least a bit on each one at GS. Not bad... I'd like to get another set but then I'll have to get stuff like Manhunt 2 and that IR without the art work to go with it.
