Yeah I picked up 3 controller extensions for the DC at Circut City last week for .99 cents each. Also they had N64 memory cards, official ones were $4.99 and unofficial ones were $2.99 TRU had lots of discounted cables too, didn't see any DC exts, but I bought a couple N64 ones from there recently for $4.90 I believe.

I picked up NHL2K2 from Circuit City when they originally marked down all their DC games around a year and a half ago. Got it for $9.96

TRU is trying now it seems, they're a year behind, but I've seen a few deals there in the past few months. There are only two $44.99 DC games at my TRU, Giga Wing & some Soccer game I think it is. Most games were marked down pretty low.

How is NHL2K2 to play? Difficult, confusing? Is it tought to keep track of which player you're controlling?

I so wish TRU would mark it down. The store I was at last night had like five copies of it.

NHL2k2 on the Dreamcast. I bought it on day 1 new. Since then, I've played NHL2k3 on the GameCube and I must say, the DC version is more fun to me and NHL2k3 has only the most minor of visual differences (mostly just better faces).

I love NHL2k2 on DC! It took me a day or two to learn how to control the characters; the control scheme feels alien when you are accustomed to another game like EA's NHL games. But once I dialed in on the buttons, I had a great time. The flow of the players and the challenge of trying to get the puck past the goalie is so much fun to me! The ice reflective FX are simply gorgeous. I also had to tweak the sound settings -- the default settings sucked to me. I cranked up the rink FX sounds and turned down the announcers' frequency and volume. There are some great rink sounds that you do not hear on the default sound settings.

I recommend the game.

Dude, any chance I can send you a PayPal and have you pick up some stuff for me? Oh wait, there's more.

Oh and from a couple days ago, I went to Sam's Club and they had lots of cheap GameCube games.  

All these were 12.83 each:

Hmm, I might have to try the Sam's Club here first before I tap into that. We have a membership.

Hey MMF, if you'd like me to pick you up a copy of Alienfront Online, it'll be $13 shipped. I didn't buy it yet, thought you may be looking for something cheaper still.

That's a good enough price for AFO and F Bros for me, and for the Mr. Driller for PSX to boot. You work out how you want to get paid and what to charge for shipping if you're willing, and it's a done deal.

We have a Sam's membership too I believe. But I don't know where it is.
