My bank left a message yesterday that I didn't get until after they had closed for the day.  I have to call them today.  I have a feeling my debit card has been compromised.  Shouldn't be much of a problem except that my debit card won't work until I get a new one and I have to get a new one in person and this stupid bank is only open when I'm working so I can only go in on Saturday but I'm out of town this weekend.  And I have only like ten bucks in my pocket.  So to sum it up I likely can't buy anything with my debit card OR go to a bank machine and get money out OR go to the bank itself until next week so I CAN'T BUY METROID PRIME 3!! ARRGGGH!!!!!!

Did you use your debit card to buy your Wii?  If so, they probably thought you were in on some sort of scam, since everybody knows you can't find one.

I went to Wal-Mart last night, at about 10:00, hoping that the street date was Monday.  It was, of course, looking here at NWR, but the employees at Wal-mart were telling people they couldn't find it.  Further questioning lead to learning that said employees had not yet looked for the game.  I was sad.  I wished I was at UncleBob's Wal-mart.  The people then told me the game was street dated for today (Tuesday), and that I'd have to wait until midnight before I could buy it anyways.  I was more sad.  Anyways, I suppose I'll have to pick it up some time this week.

Hmm... Family Video eh? Privately owned, independent retailer, stores nowhere near California where I am based...hmmm....

They have it on their site for $43.99, use the promo code NEWSZMEM to get another $5 off. Choose the $0.99 shpping (the other option gets it in 3-4 days but costs about $5.50) and since their is no sales tax from them, you can get the game for $40 if you are willing to wait.

I don't have a credit card yet either. I probably should get one, but right now the debit card is working great. I have enough debt with student loands that I don't need to start creating more anytime soon...

and thanks TJ Spyke! I think I will shift a lot of my purchasing over to FamilyVideo in the future now.

99% of the time I use my credit card because I get charged for every transaction I make with my debit card, I know it's stupid because other banks don't do it I think but whatever, and it is also what I use for all my online shopping...and besides, it's not like I buy stuff to a point that I am in debt, I always buy in accordance to what I have in my bank account, I'm sure alot of you are just as responsible.

Hey! Me too! My entire budget (99% game) is on an excel spreadsheet with formulas and paychecks and everything! I even have a "couldn't fit it in wishlist" on the side!

It probably makes more sense to use a credit card and intelligently manage your monthly charges, never paying interest and paying the balance clean each month. That way you build credit! With a debit card you... don't...
