What could this prize be? A car?
If I remember correctly it is an autographed copy of fable 2 or 3. Definitely not worth $3,400. :|

Well, it does come with $3,400 worth of video games.

$3400 worth of video games AND an autographed copy of one of the Fables seems like a decent deal to me for $3400.

Yeah, redemption prizes aren't supposed to be "good deals", they're just minor incentive to keep shopping at their place.

what is it? The actual game? I don't own any consoles that would play it. Haha. In all honesty, I'll either just get some coupons ($5 off, etc) or save a few more points for that Space Invaders T-Shirt.

Hmmmm...

A Space Invaders T-Shirt is definitely not worth $450.

no, it's not. But seeing as how I would have spent that money anyway. And seeing as how I didn't even know I was sitting on the points...
