Oh snap thats a kick ass deal!
Hey Defensor, you're talkin about the Fry's in Industry right? Dude we're talkin 30-45 minutes for the ride home. I'm debating if it's worth it.

While I can't compare to the game you mentioned, I will say that VJ does fall a bit on the difficult side. The GC version had two intial difficulty settings, Kids and Adults. I found the Kids setting to be way too easy, as I blew through the first two or three levels far too easily. I've read that the PS2 version includes a difficulty level even easier than Kids, too...
I found the Adults setting to be just right for the first playthrough. It seems tough at first, but once you learn how the game works, it gets a lot easier. You'll probably still be dying a lot, too.
One thing that I did love about VJ were the bosses, because they're actually difficult! I'd forgotten what it felt like to feel a little on edge when I get to a boss, due to the fact that they were most likely going to kick my ass the first time around, which I felt every level in VJ. I managed to beat the first boss my first time without dying, but every one after that gave me some serious trouble. The nice thing is is that, for the most part, they're not necessarily cheap, just difficult. You'll find yourself getting a little bit better on each of them each time you try to beat them.
Another good thing about the game is that there appears to be a good amount of incentive to go back and play through it again. I've only beat it once on Adults so far, but doing that unlocked some stuff that affects later playthroughs (don't want to give anything away).

Price match at EB and save yourself the trip (assuming EB is closer to you house).

Tim McGraw baby! YEEEEEEESS!
I went to the Fry's in Manhattan Beach yesterday after work (around 6 PM or so), and they didn't have VJ out on the shelves. I would have asked one of the employees if they had any in the back...but I stood there for TEN MINUTES and didn't see one damn person walk through the videogame section. Since I had somewhere else to be, I took off.
Anyone else have any luck?

I'm pretty sure the deal will extend over the weekend too
I see. I don't even have my PS2 with me until October when I go back to graduate school. It might be better if I just wait until it hits $20 (which probably won't be that long).
