I decided to buy Castlevania tonight. Price matched the Fry's ad price (19.99) at Best Buy and got the Best Buy free DLC code to boot. Only had to pay 8 bucks after some xmas gift card leftovers :)
That means I've bought 5 games in the first 8 days of 2011. Less than $30 out of pocket after gift cards and paypal money I had left over from my PS3 sale.
Oh, that brings up my story that I never got to tell here. Back in October my PS3 YLOD'd. I bought a new slim, and then managed to fix my old one (had to get my data off, after all) and sold it on ebay for $290. Pretty awesome.
I now promote the philosophy of selling your backwards compatible phat models while their value is still high, because I think they are all going to break down eventually.
