I'm not sure if this has been posted yet, but I thought I'd give y'all a heads-up on a great deal Amazon is running. Their sale currently consists of:
4000 MS Points ($53 w/tax if bought over XBL) for $39.97 with free shipping
1600 MS Points ($21 and change w/tax if bought over XBL) for $15.97; buy two and get free shipping
Xbox Live 12 month Gold membership ($53 over XBL) for $38.96 with free shipping
Xbox Live 3 month Gold membership ($21 and change over XBL) for $15.96; buy two and get free shipping
In addition, they're offering a promotion where you get an extra $5 off if you choose their Bill Me Later option and enter a promo code. 4000 XBL points or a year's Gold membership for under $35? Hell yes.
I just ordered a boat-load of points myself, and you should probably do the same ASAP if you're interested. I don't know how long the sale is lasting.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
