It bugs me how 99% of the time, games listed as "Collectible" on Amazon aren't collectible. I expect to see autographed copies, first or last copy off the assembly line, etc., not just well-taken-care-of black label copies.

That's because they are rare.

Don't skip looking at the collectibles though, sometimes there's cheaper "collectibles" than regular used copies.

My Walmart has gotten our Wii U games in. The boxes feel like they're constructed about the same as Wii boxes are. It sort of sucks being able to look at and hold the games, but unable to purchase...

Is a game that comes out before the system actually launches considered a launch title?

It can't be played until launch anyway, so yes.

K-mart has a good game at a nice price!

They got in their generic upc games. And this game is $10 bucks.

I paid Twenty for it some months ago. But this new price is a steal.

Its a standard Metroid clone, but we like that stuff!

In this case, it's the games Kmart puts in the "$19.99 or Under" bins that have those red, standardized $9.99, $14.99, or $19.99 stickers over the top.
