Amazing Find At Best Buy

I went to Best Buy to replace my wife's keyboard (our puppy chewed
ithe chord in half), and was strolling through the game aisle, when I
found Nascar Racing 2002 Season for $29.99.  Right next to it was a
copy of Nascar racing 3 for just $9.99.  The real kicker was that
they also had a couple of copies of Nascar racing 4 for the low low
price of $39.99.  That's right - it was just $10 MORE than the copy
of Nascar Racing 2002 Season.

And what's with those puny-assed boxes that games come in now?  
Actually, it's about time they stopped over-packing the games.  It's
just a freakin CD and an install pamphlet anymore...

The price for N4 had to be higher.

Royalties for having my picture on page 76. <g>

I agree.  I'd love to see them standardize on DVD-Style snap-cases.

Yeah, I am the reciever at Staples in Roanoke, Va and I've been having to
send back all of our "big boxed" software to get the new "easy theft size"
software, lol.

They'll just seal up all the edges with impenetrable thin-steel sticky tape,
and pop a theft monitor tag inside.

Just like DVD's :(

Whoever designed current-day DVD packaging should be sentenced to Arthritis
for 5 years, and 1000 hours of community service standing at the door of
Best Buy un-wrapping people's DVD's for them.
