Deal Alert! aka EB Games/ Gamestop Price Drops

I love being a deal hunter. It's really cool to see a 60 dollar game drop to 20 or lower. However, even I know that some titles will never drop their prices, as they usually sell out at a high price anyways.

Which is why I almost wet myself when I saw the EB Games drop list this month. While they are having a sale on a bunch of new titles (Prince of Persia and Infinite Undiscovery are the most noteworthy, as they're 20 bucks each) this month, I didn't realize that two DS RPGs dropped to a low price of 20 bucks too. Chrono Trigger and Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume are being reduced, and I strongly urge all of you to buy these titles. Chrono Trigger is regarded as one of the best RPGs in the genre, much less for the SNES. I also have a soft spot for Valkyrie profile, as it was pretty great on the original playstation. Plus, Square Enix rarely drops prices this soon on recent titles! Get a move on!

Dragon Quest IX Gameplay

The above video is footage from the Japanese show television show, Joudeki!! Geinoujin Kodawari Ou Kouza Iketaku, showing the co-op gameplay for the upcoming DS game and latest installment in the Dragon Quest series, Dragon Quest IX.

While I have honestly no clue what exactly they're saying, I'm aware that 1) the people playing it are Japanese celebrities, 2) this is the first time gameplay of it has been aired on network television, and 3) that the guy at the end with the fancy graphic and called "Gamu disihna" is the creator of the Dragon Quest Series.

And in minor site news, I'd just to like to remind everyone that I will be gone for the next week, but about 4 days later I will be heading out to Comic Con and getting good coverage of it. I don't know if I'll be able to post videos of it from my hotel, but I will definately be able to post pictures from it.
