“Beyond Halo, there was one other story of interest this month: the US and Canadian dollar reaching parity. This was big news to some Halo 3 buyers, as it turns out that many gamers chose to shop on eBay (average Halo 3 price: $50) rather than in local stores (average Halo 3 price: $70) and I’ve noticed that by using similar tactics you can save big on points cards for the Wii and Xbox 360. If you choose to simply have the codes e-mailed to you (and save on shipping) 2000 Wii points or 1600 Microsoft points can regularly be had for less than $20. A worthwhile bargain, as it’s highly unlikely Microsoft or Nintendo are ever going to reduce prices.”

Includes a look at Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD, LocoRoco Cocoreccho! and Fatal Fury Special. No Virtual Console reviews in September, but considering that October’s article is going to contain almost nothing but that (Sin and Punishment, people!) I think that’s fair enough.
