Default I bought Ace Combat 5 at Best Buy, and got a surprise

A $10 Gift card.

I thought the cashier was joking until she told me it was part of the promo for this game. Before I bought the game, I assumed it was 50 bux.....I paid 53 including tax and the game is "$40".

The game is pretty badass, a must have if you're into this type of shit. I haven't played a flight sim in a long time so it's hard for me.

I saw the ad for that game on one of the gaming mags I get for free.

I remember A10 tank buster on my old ass 8086 processor IBM PS2.

Maybe I'll spend part of my next pay check on that :exnbp: and a new video card :rick:

It's a good story so far, I'm on like the fourth mission. The replay feature is nice to watch.
