I went into a Circuit City yesterday to check out their prices.  As for now I am unimpressed.  A liquidation company is actually controlling the prices from what I understand.  Unlike Nortel who are leaving their employees with nothing, Circuit City will actually pay their employees for 60 days after Jan. 16. All Circuit City stores in Canada will remain open.  Maybe they will return when the US economy improves.

Don't worry, they ran their business into the ground with poor selection, high prices, and mediocre customer service so that makes them eligible for part of our glorious government's bailout program. 

Screw your business or your finances up and you too can reap the benefits of your own stupidity – just get in line, pledge blind devotion to our wonderful politicians, and you too can drink the life from smart people and good businesses.

I wouldn't be surprised. 

But don't worry, someone will try to break up Best Buy now due to the anti-monopoly laws. 

The liquidation companies sometime mark up the regprice, wait awhile and then throw out the 25% to 75% sales. when the regular price was les then the marked down price. I may go see what they have after I get my refund ( after the bill insulating the house ).

What sort of benefits are they offering?  Do they offer any medical? 

Not sure if I would take the job for two weeks. I could probably collect more than what I make there

Can't speak for Force Unleashed but Fable 2 is a great game and a ton of fun to play.

As for Fable 2 co-op, it's very overrated and practically useless.  Single player is well worth it but who ever joins the game is basically shafted to riding the hump in the family station wagon. 

Oh, once you get good in the game, finish the shooting gallery test and get the hero doll.  It's one of the hardest achiements to get bacause there are 6 and you can only get 1 type in your game, so we've got to trade them around.  Problem is, it's darn hard to win the damn prize.

Not surprised they aren't selling the TV's though… the employees already have dibs on them since they know they won't be getting their last couple of paychecks.. 

The host sets the distribution of the money and experience, so you can get some from playing co-op, but less than playing alone.  The most frustrating part is how the game forces the two characters to stay on the same screen (like the Lego games), and it limits camera control significantly.  It's fun to do in-person, and my son loves playing that way, but over Live it just feels wrong.

There are a few achievements that require the co-op, though, so you'll have to do it at some point.  You just shouldn't expect to want to go back to it afterward.

Close, Prime. Actually Circuit City closing = Fable 2 topic being more interesting than the closing itself.

I admit I noticed I am guilty of quite a bit of threadjacking lately. Sorry.

 Anyway, back to Fable strategy :

Smokin or Tequila, I have only eaten 1 pie, about 3 or 4 meats, 2 or 3 alcoholic beverages and my character is getting fat!?!?!  What the . . . Are you  not supposed to eat?  I read somewhere to eat Tofu, but 1 pie is overdoing it ?!  Is there any way to thin him out? 

Tip: You may have noticed already that one benefit of co-op is receiving all of your henchman's experience, and receieving it for your own character.  Yeah . . .  it's cheating, but I leveled up quick.

It's like destiny.  I can't avoid packing on a few more pounds than I want in the real world, and can't avoid them in the game either.   I'm going on a tofu diet!! . . . . in the game, not the real world that is.

Just remember when you are done playing co-op with your kids to sell off all their abilities as general experience so your character can claim it when their henchmen sign out.
