I was in the mall today with my sister when we passed a Sam Goody. There were two gigantic ads in the window. One was for Xbox and the other for PS2, both hyping the new prices. Sam Goody has a sale going on:

Buy an Xbox, get a free DVD or CD.

Buy a PS2, get a free DVD, CD or PS2 game.

Has Sam Goody chosen their allegiance, or has Sony just made another payoff the way they did with Rockstar?

How much freedom does Sam Goody give to its franchises?

I don't know, maybe it was a mistake, maybe for your free game, you have a choice between the PS2's worst launch titles...or worst titles.:confused:

I'm almost willing to bet that the only ones you can pick from are the ones that are old and around the same price as a CD or DVD. In which case all Xboxes games are new so they cannot do that :)

It's probably only PS2 greatest hits games you can choose from.

You took the words right out of my mouth...

A PS2 game that was released over a year ago probably.

PS2 already has a greatest hits line? Didn't know that...

I'll bet you guys are right. Those things you said never even crossed my mind. :D
