price hack-and-gouging

Prices for .hack//QUARANTINE are flippin' ridiculous on eBay. Most of them start at around $45 (original price is $40) - one bozo set his starting price at $106. $106! For a video game!!! And the bastard isn't even offering free shipping. Did Bandai set out to create an artificial shortage?

.hack// INFECTION is more fun than I thought it would be (I'm nearly at the end, but can't get past that blasted Skeith). Things were slowing down for a while until I finally got my Grunty. And oh, what happyfun joy the Grunties are. Not only do they provide safe passage to the dungeon, but they are accompanied by a jolly banjo theme that is so totally out of place in the grim setting (usually an Earth field, at night). And how they kick up their heels and fly. Now I want me a plush Grunty.:)

In addition there is a Japanese track, which I had to switch off after Black Rose started talking. too much Act-ing!!!, dear. Besides, Mistral's voice is fun and David Lucas, oops, I mean Stephen Jay Blum plays Sanjuro.
