    I have absolutly no idea.

    Electronic Boutique is normally the best where I am. Or Mirco City. But you'd want to do a net search.

    One warning, well two actually. Places like Best Buy (large general superstores) have garbage.

    Also a lot of places are good excuses for drug control. Prices vary big time from place to place. A lot of places will lower the price if you can prove it's cheaper elsewhere (or will refund).

    Lastly, don't tell them your a tourist or that your leaving in a couple of days or they will rip you off. smile.gif

    I think it was Baby baby by B.Spears.

    Prices also vary on how quickly they can sell it. So a game can range in price of +/- $10 on how well it sells in it's first week. Tribes was the only one I've seen go from 29-39-29 and then finishing on 34. That D&D game erm.. you know the one that WWMan plays that started at 30 and finished at 50 in just over 2 weeks.

    (Baulders gate, that's what it was).
