Whee

I stopped by Best Buy on the way home (and Circuit City, but they only had the 80 GB version) and used my shiny new Playstation credit card (which isn't actually that shiny) to become the indifferent owner of a 160 GB PS3 Uncharted bundle. Indifferent in part because i need to go to bed early tonight and wouldn't have much of a chance to do anything with it (i need to get to work early tomorrow so i can leave early to take my car in to get the oil changed and the mysterious rattling noise from the front left wheel looked at) but mainly because i figure i'll leave the box unopened for a few more days and continue a desultory search for a better deal elsewhere. I figure as long as it's unopened i can always exchange it. Possibly only for store credit, but if so then having to do all my new electronics shopping at Best Buy for the next six months is not a fate worse than death.

As an added but very minor benefit i signed up for the Best Buy rewards card, which is apparently a free deal where every $250 you spend you get a $5 gift card, so i got $10 for buying the PS3. Not a great return as far as reward cards go, but (slightly) better than nothing.
