If you’re a gamer, chances are you’re also an electronics nut and you’re all about shopping on line. Being a girl… I’m all about shopping.. but shopping smart. I’ve got a few tips for you gaming shoppers! OR the gamer on your list!
This means, if you’ve been holding off on buy either MW or COD for some reason… now I the time to buy!
Of course Target and Wal-mart have their competition on.. Target still has deals from Black Friday up- an XBOX with Fable III, Arkham Asylum and Halo for $319.
Amazon.com has announced that this year they are doing their Cyber Monday sales all week long, so as long as produce doesn’t run out too quickly… they’ve got deals on console bundles, games and gaming accessories.
For instance: Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor w/ Kinect Adventures and Gunstringer Token Code -- $99.99
Games:
• Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (PS3, X360) -- $25.00
• Battlefield 3 (PS3, X360, PC) -- $39.99
• BioShock 2 (PS3, X360) -- $9.99
• Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3, X360) -- $29.99
• Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (X360) -- $19.72
• Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3, X360) -- $19.99
• Call of Duty: World at War (X360) -- $9.99
Obviously you can count on gamestop for some deals:
Their portable gaming systems will be around $50 off and with some deals, they’re doing by something, get an item free. Or most XBOX games are buy 2 get 1 free and their website says all pre-owned items are buy 2 get 1 free.
But… let me add a suggestion. There are big tips among “couponing websites”… one of my favorites, The Krazy Coupon Lady gives you lots of tips and coupons you can print—not just on big ticket items but also everyday items.
And for bigger things you plan to order on line, check out Mr.Ebates. They’ve got rebates for stores online AND items. Most you can’t double, but some you can. Also, make sure you look at whose got free shipping. As most online stores do free shipping once you spend a certain amount.
Also, be sure to follow your favorite stores on facebook and twitter. Some will be giving "secret" discounts and cheat codes to fans via social media. If you watch close enough you could get lots for free.
Happy Shopping! It’s a girls world.. you’re just shopping in it!

The wait is over: Modern Warfare 3 IS OUT!
Standing in line, surrounded by guys who haven't shaved, showered or possibly slept in 24 hours or more... some smoking, some drunk.
It was a great launch for MW3. I was 85 in a 190 person line. I was happy with that.
At 12:15, while on the way home, I opened the case for MW3 for PS3... and the disc had the lovely "new game" smell.
After playing for a short time(about 90 minutes), I found a few things I like and a few things I don't like about the game. If you didn't want to know my opinion, you wouldn't be reading this... so here it is:
I only got to play Death Match. But, from what I did get to try, here's what I've found.
Likes:
My favorite map so far: Resistance. It's war riddled and evacuated Paris. In the opening scene, you can see the Eifel Tower. You are running around the rocket pounded, rubble infested city, shooting people... and it's great.
All of the maps seem to be pretty big, most are multi-level. The smallest one I played seemed to be about the size of a medium map in Black Ops.
The basic guns you can use are pretty easy to handle and aim fairly well. The light machine guns jump around alot, but if you play with them to any extent you're used to that.
Of course my favorite tactical weapon, semtex is back.
Dislikes: The fact that maps are huge, I also see as a downfall. It's going to take forever to find good hiding... or rather "tactical waiting" and sniping areas.
With this game, the images don't seem as clear. They almost seem dull or dusty, even in maps where it's not in a "dusty" place.
Fewer gun choices. I'm kind of upset that there are fewer guns to choose from with this game. While variety is the spice of life... I generally find 2 or 3 guns and stick with them... it's going through all of them to try them each out that is both fun and tiresome.
New:
But now there's a new one, the "Bouncing Betty". When triggered, it "bounces" into the air and explodes. It can be avoided by going prone quickly.
There's Frag, C4 and throwing knives. (Which if you're one of the jerks that uses the throwing knives, hope I never run into you in a dark alley... you may not have any knees to walk with).
Kill streaks: There is a new item called IMS which stands for Intelligent munitions system. It's automatically triggered when an enemy gets near it. It has 4 grenades that explode in the air.
At 9 kills you can call in a strafe run, which includes 5 choppers to blaze the area you select.
There's an "assault drone" which is similar to the RC car in Black Ops.
Overall rating: so far... 3.5 out of 4.
I need to play more... but not right now. Maybe a follow up review is in order later... maybe.
For now, it's a girl gamer's world... we just let you play in it.
