September 30: wallet threat level NBA

If you’re not into NBA (pictured), this week’s release of NBA 2K14 is no threat to your wallet. The other possible wallet threat is for people who want to farm, romance, and JRPG on a Nintendo 3DS with the latest Rune Factory, also known as Rune Factory 4: I’m Surprised There’s Not Some Long Title in This Space. Atlus is trying to get you to buy a re-issue of the previous Etrian Odyssey JRPGs by bundling them under a new name and using the word “Untold” to imply it’s new. Nice try, Atlus.

But for most folks, this week’s threat is to whatever time they might be eager to spend with Grand Theft Auto Online, which goes live tomorrow. I predict great and/or terrible things.
