BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

4.  Value of your gift(s) should be in the $20-30 range - real value and not bloated OMG R@R3!! eBay

People always ask for games outside of that range regardless of where you can get it.  Just saying.

Just a recommendation for some of you guys, I just have all the games I want in my PCEDaisakusen wishlist and post a link to that so whoever has me has 149 games to choose from. Hopefully they can find something in their price range and I get a nice surprise :D

I'm guilty of this, though my list is lengthy with lots of cheapies amongst the pricey titles.  I'm just too lazy to trim down my complete wish list.  :oops:

M.G. makes a good point: please don't fill your list with titles that can only be found for cheap if you wait months for an honest auction.  You never know when Santa will get lucky, but give the guy something to fall back on.

Bump!

Also: note that SuperPlay has offered to send out some extra holiday cheer to four lucky Santas.  He asks nothing in return, but he'd take a Le TurboDoodle (or the like) to show off in his game room if any of you creative types can oblige.

Would he be interested in 3D art or only 2D?

Bump!  Only about a week left and there's half as many Santas as we had last year; must've been a rough year at the North Pole.

The schedule for this seems to be tighter this year.  I remember having purchased my SS gift for last year in October.  Is this inaccurate?  My memory is one year older now.

The reason I bring it up is because I was fearful of my gift not reaching its recipient in time.  Canada Post is notoriously shitty.

@Necro - Postal Rates have gone up exponentially in Canada (and in the USA).  I don't know if this is possible, and it's only a suggestion so tell me to piss off if you want, but maybe it would be a good idea to pair participants up based on country?

The time frame has been the same each year.

Already planned on, though unless some more Canucks join in it ain't gonna be much of a Secret Santa.

Note: Just noticed there is  6 less shipping days between Thanxs Giving and Xmas this year.

Almost time to get a shoppin!
