Some cool philosophies from The World Ends With You (DS)

The World Ends with You........ Give up on yourself, and you give up on the world.

Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves.
The World Ends with You is one of the best games on DS, buy it if you have a DS.

Ok, so now I'm seeing all these threads about ODST being $60. However, at my Gamestop, I paid $5 down, and then they said when I pick it up I pay $60. Did they just rip off my whole FIVE DOLLARS?!?!?!? Lol no biggie but I still kinda want to know.

You got ripped off, go back and talk with them. There isn't supposed to be a fee, only a down-payment.

its the same if you pre order it at the store or get it delivered. when you buy it at the store, you pay the $5, but if you pre order it online and get it shipped, you also pay for shipping and handling. so either way, the price is about $65

No, the $5 goes towards the game. The guy made a mistake when he said $60. Go back in and ask to make sure.

You said that everyone in this thread was wrong.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

60$ plus tax is around 67$, so no, your not.
