I do. I just went today, actually. I go there to check out their games all the time. They're currently offering a $15 gaming coupon if you spend $45 on any video game(s) right now. I went to mine to check it out and they'd conveniently stocked up on DS games in the $19.99 and under bin 8) . K-mart is usually a good place to go for game stuff as it's usually not the first place that people think of when they're looking for stuff.
Just picked up my wife's necklace and jewelry box I had there on layaway for our anniversay, today.
Obviously people shop at K-Mart, because they're still open. :P

It's an interesting thought thoguh. I've never been in a K-Mart that was busy. It's always pretty dead.

Kmart is the only store in my town. I have to travel 15+ mins if I want to go to another store like Target/Walmart.

I recently got my 3DS XL along with a $25 gaming coupon that I used on a 3DS points card. I also accumulated points from other purchases (e.g, household items) that I used to get more cards.

My K-Mart is the same way. Dead 364 days per year (black Friday being the exception).

And yes, K-Mart is a good store for finding things you wouldn't expect and maybe weren't even looking for. They were one of the last stores in my town to stop carrying good oXbox and GBA games, and right now they've got a decent selection of PSP accessories on clearance.

I nabbed a BNIB Need For Speed Most Wanted for the PSP for $5 at K-Mart the other day. (haven't been in there in years) The only system I didn't own Most Wanted for.

They also had these Sonic the Hedgehog figures that were marked down to $.99 a piece. I nabbed all of those too, for the shelves.... you know?



As for the Wii-U verifying that you've purchased your content already, then why not let you re-download it? What if my console is no longer "internet enabled?" There are still families like this, are they just S.O.L. as far as transferring their games?

Why would your console no longer be "internet enabled"? If you don't have internet, how would you be able to download from the WiiU shop?

The reason for the current transfer procedure is to make sure you transfer the titles to the new machine and no longer have them on the old machine.

So... is anybody else going to have ZombiU on launch? I'd really like to play it with a few people here.

I'm still undecided. Most impressions point to "buy" but I'm just not 100% convinced I'll like it...

I think you've got the way those ">" symbols work backwards.

Me too. It looks good, but then again so did Red Steel back before the Wii launched.

Lot's of people experience this. Maybe you moved recently to an area without internet connectivity? This is why DRM sucks balls anyway.
