$75?! Some of the newer games (espessily for PS3 and some for the XBox 360) are running for $60...I thought THAT was bad.

Kids nowadays...can't appreciate the classic games.

Your #2 daughter and I have something in common. Okay, the employees at the GameStop store I go to don't know me on a first name basis, but I've gone there so many times with my boyfriend that I'm surprised they don't know our names. Although, I know most of the people who work in the electronics department at our Wal-Mart.
