Blows Smoke From Tip of Gun

Some days you just have to brag. I'll try to not be too intrusive, though, by posting this to my long dormant blog. Anyway, today I scored one of the greatest bargain finds in history. At least as far as video games go. I had wanted to get Max and Emmett the GameCube game Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, but it's been out of print for a while yet is still in high demand, and the prices on ebay reflect it. Last I checked it was selling for $150 and up. Today I stumbled upon a lone copy, new in box, sitting on a bottom shelf behind a bunch of Xbox 360 games at the kmart across the street from work. I was thrilled as it was just to see it, already considered myself lucky for it, and was perfectly willing to pay full retail ($60), which given the current market for the game would have been a great bargain by itself. So, I had them pull it out of the case and when the ran the game through the scanner it rang up for... $5. Five dollars! Well, $5.25 with tax. This, my friends, was the single best video game deal find ever, I think. I'm so giddy and proud of myself that I might just throw up.
