When I worked at SAM's club they were selling that atari set last year. Ended up selling out within hours.

Yes, and I thought about buying the Mega Drive one, even though I own a Mega Drive and I don't want to be playing roms

Though most of them are handhelds. I'd consider buying one if the emulation wasn't shitty and I could buy an open source console with 2-3 times that money, and it'd be able to play so many more systems.

I bought a Flashback 4 at Rite Aid right after Christmas. They were clearing out Christmas toys, so I got it brand-new for $10 only.

Unfortunately, the controllers are complete crap. It's like the early remote control controllers where you have to be at a certain position and at a certain distance or it doesn't respond well. It completely ruins that superior selection of games. And unfortunately, Sega Genesis controllers don't work on this one.

You can also find them at Urban Outfitters, if you can control your gag reflex enough to enter the store.

Acid washed jeans > skinny jeans

I don't understand the ongoing skinny jean craze. Yes, my sense of fashion is a bit conservative, or as one of my friends joked "Young Republican", but fashion fads tend to annoy me. I'll take the skinny jean fad over the fedora fad any day though.

Acid washed jeans > skinny jeans

A lot of my pants look "acid washed," but that's just from good ol' fashioned wear and tear.

I am browsing ebay for some Wii/360 games , prices are usually way more expensive than Amazon. For example I am trying to get Okami used condition for Wii , prices on ebay are around $30 for the "buy it now" but on amazon I can get it new for $15.

Am I doing something wrong, or this is how it usually is?

It depends. I usually try and always check both ebay and the amazon marketplace, as sometimes one will be way higher than the other.

In the case of ebay though, I think it's worth mentioning that Buy-It-Nows are usually on the high side.

I've given up on Ebay except for selling. For whatever reason prices there seem to have risen to the point that it's usually cheaper to go with Amazon instead.
