Ah, I shall continue to converse with myself, with my third post in a row... I am starting to feel a little lonely in this thread.
I just wanted to mention that I noticed in target's weekly ad (these guys ought to start paying me for plugging them so often!) that you get a free $5 gift card with the purchase of a 1600 microsoft points card ($19.99). That brings the price down to $15 bucks for 1600 points, though of course you have to use the five dollars you save at target (still saving five bucks though, since you can use it on groceries, or anyother neccessity you'd have to buy anyway. Looks like this offer is only good through Saturday. Just thought I'd give you all the heads up. Wish I had waited a few more days to buy Monkey Island, then instead of paying $10, I'd be like paying $7.50 for it.
