I walked past my local GameStop in tag mode today. I was hoping to pick up some guests. Nothing!
Anyway, I came across this item map today:

This is the first time I've pre-ordered a game and it will be my first time playing Dragon Quest. I plan on listening to Neal's impressions this morning before I pick up the game.

I had the same issue at my local Gamestop (Moreland Ave. in Atlanta). They insisted that I had to pre-order so I left the $90 worth of merchandise I had on the counter, left the store, and walked over to Best Buy. I was tempted to go in yesterday to pick up The Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, but decided to order from Amazon. As far as buying and selling used games, my experience with Glyde has been positive. In any case, I look forward to hearing your impressions of the demo, Jon--I want to get hyped for this game again.

I had no interest in SMRPG when it was released. In my mind, Mario was strictly a 2D platformer. The first RPG I played was Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and I've been playing RPGs ever since. It provided an accessible introduction to the genre, and had I played SMRPG when it was released, it would have had the same effect of broadening my interests.

I have yet to see Little King's Story at any of my local retailers (I live within walking distance of Best Buy, Target, and Game Stop). I had every intention of picking it up this month, too. Instead, I bought Final Fantasy IV DS and Swords & Soldiers. I still plan on playing Little King's Story, but that sense of urgency has passed. I was willing to pay $50 for this title, but now I'm content to wait for a price drop.
