Gibson's writing feels a bit wonky but I did like the book. I've heard it gets better with re-reads. And once I finish up with these and maybe follow up some with the rest of their series I'll start looking for more books. I actually read Neuromancer just before grabbing all these books.

As you mentioned, you found some great deals compared to Canadian retailers. In the US though, sales are about on par or slightly higher than than retail (except Best Buy & Gamestop, which still tends to be on the high side). Great response over all though, and thanks for linking me to it. As for the article you listed, that scares me a bit. Retail and digital distribution need to co-exist, because I still do not want to hand over control to publishers and services. Time will tell though, it will definitely be interesting to watch where games are headed over the coming years.

I wonder if, on a minescule scale, using bash's built in file searching would be faster than "outsourcing" to ls.
