While these prices aren’t quite set in stone, it’s still just a little bit frightening that video game mega-dealer, GameStop, has all of Activision’s peripheral-based games seen at this year’s E3 tagged at pretty astounding prices.
Let’s take a look and compare Activision’s latest simulators with the real thing:

2k Games and Bethesda Softworks have announced in a press release that they will be uniting what some may say are two of the best games to be released in this console generation, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Bioshock, in a retail bundle set to cost about $40. Both games have received numerous awards and huge amounts of praise from critics and gamers alike.
I would say that this deal is just about as good and as Valve’s 5-games-in one-mega-value-pack, The Orange Box, although you can grab that now for about $20. So just think, for $60 you can own 7 of the greatest games ever!
The bundle will be in stores on July 7th, 2009.
Yukon Cornelius has informed me that for a limited time, of course, the friendly folks over at Microsoft are allowing silver members (peasants) to upgrade to a gold membership (the good life) for a whole month, for only one of your parent’s dollars. If you’re a silver member, jump on this offer because this is what you’re missing out on:
Online multiplayer matches
Early and exclusive titles at the marketplace
TrueSkill matchmaking
Xbox Live Parties (greatest feature ever)
Gamer feedback
NETFLIX MOVIES!
Pretty much everything
PS3 users tend to taunt Live members for paying $50 bucks a year for the premium service, but most gamers with both consoles will tell you that the Xbox Live experience is indeed, “Very premium, yes. Like my dance moves and Sammy Davis Junior Junior.”
MMO fans, as well those that have been waiting for a right time to try them, now is the time. Today is the day.
Valve’s on demand service, Steam is taking 20-75% off of many of their hosted massively multiplayer titles, including Everquest II The Shadow Odyssey (75% off!). Prepare to have your friends, family, and everything you used to hold dear taken away by your new and improved digital existence!
Just kidding, Bobdert. I’m well aware that MMOs are not the ones at fault. Video games only consume as much time as you allow them to.
