Three of them are only item packs, so don't really add nything to the game.

Toys R Us seem to have tables of older games on clearance too, but I'd say it's a bit random. I picked up Oblivion for 360 for $39 and Ghost in the Shell for PSP for $19 from them last night.

Toys R Us have had those tables for ages. I got Sword of Mana for $10 a year ago

Hey that 'Playstation 3 Controller Charger: $19.95'....is that just the mini-b usb cable or is it another type of charger? I hate the cable....it's way too short.
