obviously Pimp My Ride should be worth way more than 49.99.

they cleverly neglect to mention the install price is around 129 dollars and a 20 percent of your remaining 500 brain cells.

Awesome! I can finally stop bothering my tech savvy friend to come over and setup my new 360 games for me. Now if only Microsoft would just simplify the process so all us common folk could do it ourselves one day. But until then, Best Buy FTW! I just hope it's priced as reasonably as their game disc scratch warranties.

The PC gamers take a passive-aggressive step in their war against the console games, demanding game developers let the user install the games for a sense of ownership as opposed to popping it in and playing it. Down with simplicity! Up with storage space, ROM issues, and virus scans!

That EA games would be pissed if they found out the game was selling that cheap.

That's clever. I didn't know that you now had to install 360 games. Someone should ask the Geek Squad to install one of those for them. That would be priceless.

The picture on the EA game is for a basketball game but it says NCAA which is a football game, and the listing on the front with the price says its NBA 2k7 and NBA live. wtf

Best Buy sorts its games in alphabetical order, first top to bottom, then left to right...but in the picture NCAA March Madness '07 comes before NBA 2k7.

So what happens when they cant fix it, are they going to ship it to Microsoft to have them do it for them... I know that is what happened with my laptop

What's wrong with the picture is that they actually still have a copy of NBA Live 06.

I wonder if Geek Squad goes to your home or if you have to bring your 360 to the store to put the game in the drive? If I were Bill Gates rich I would hire someone to swap my games out the drive........we are only dreamers!!!!

The fact that you're buying Overlord on the Xbox when you can install it on your computer for free.

Overlord already came out and they have a sticker on it saying it comes out today. Makes no sense.
Also there's an asian on the cover of NCAA07, what up wit dat! and the games have a sticker right, that says they install it, only guess what? you don't install 360 games, duh!
