Something tells me this will be the way people talk even after the holidays and SMG. People still hang on to the "no good games" attitude even after MP3, Super Paper Mario (hey I liked it a lot), Zack and Wiki, Trauma Center, and a number of other worthy titles.EktorPR said:

Ok, I think I didn't explain myself clearly. All those games you mentioned are indeed, great, but not OMG SYSTEM SELLING great...like Galaxy. I'm the first to defend Zack & Wiki's greatness, but the game has its niche: not everybody is going to like it because it doesn't appeal to them. Mario, on the other hand, has universal appeal. So, to have Galaxy be the first universal-appeal, AAA game is reason enough for celebration and joy. Hopefully that explains things a bit better. : /

MasterAJ22 said:Not sure if this has been reported, but I work at Toys R Us in the "R Zone" video game section and I saw an early copy of our ad running the week Galaxy comes out, and it said you get a $25 gift card when you buy Galaxy (11th-17th). Knowing the way it works there, the card would be for your next purchase. And a week or two back we ran a promotion where you get a free Wii Controller Slip when you pre-order the game. From how I know that store works, they don't have any way of checking when you pre-ordered so you should be able to still get the slip for free. And obviously, you get the coin if you pre-order upon pickup.
I'm going to preorder tomorrow and upon pick up, get all that free shit, and then probably get guitar hero 3 25 bucks off. sweet.
Wasn't sure if this deserved its own thread, so I just posted it in here.
Reposting for those who missed last night.

I didn't read the ad that closely, but like you said, I'm guessing no. I'm going to get my paycheck in the next hour or two, so I'll try and get my hands on that ad if it's still laying around. I honestly have no idea where my department supervisor pulled it from, but he's the one who showed it to me in the first place.

I hated that level! I died like five times trying to go on all of the narrow paths. The wiimote controls did work rather well, though.

Thanks you sir, I did miss it last night.MasterAJ22 said:
Just finished the game.
Overall I wouldn't say it is better than SM64 as that brought alot of new and inventive ideas with it for the time and was executed almost flawlessly. It is however the best platrformer to come out since then.
Overall the game took me 7 hours to beat, taking my time to finish each galaxy until I reached the required number of stars to go to the end. Like others the difficulty was the biggest problem for me as I only died if I did something foolish and fell off a platform. As well I was really REALLY dissapointed with the
I will continue to play and try for more stars to see if the difficulty ramps up but for now after finishing the game I'd give it a solid 9.2.

last fight and ending. Not at all satisfying and mostly a repeat of all the fights beforehand.

Ok I just went to GS and traded my copy of Halo 3 towards Galaxy. Heres how much I got
Halo 3 ESRP= $65
Traded Halo 3 = $35 in store credit
plus 20% extra in store = $42
plus Mario Galaxy offer 20% more = $49
plus 10% of Edge card subscription = $53.90 for Halo 3 in store credit
paid off Galaxy along with what I paid for preorder and still had left credit and put it towards CoD4
If ya ask me, that deal isnt pretty bad. Specially if you have new games ya dont play, or older games where you can get a pretty good credit on it. Good thing is if ya take $100 in credit add the 50% credit cause you were gonna preorder galaxy, still a $100 is left for you to spend on the store.
