I'm glad I am not the one that had to point this out this year again. And to mention, media mail is by far the slowest shipping option that USPS offers. Each year the "special discount" is easily bettered at several online merchants. It's even more ironic because Scot writes or used to write columns in Gaming Today on great deals, and yet boasts about this deal which is easily bettered.
