-
Didn't see Fable II or Halo Wars.
-
Silent Hill: Homecoming on 360 worth it?
-
Watch them not have crap actually in the stores.
I'd get Operation: Darkness, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Too Human for that price though.
-
Jesus, I can see why they're on sale.
PURE is cool though.
-
I'd get Operation: Darkness, Silent Hill: Homecoming, and Too Human for that price though.
:wub
-
No PC games? Fail.
-
But really, a lot of those games are weak
I would, if I hadn't bought them all already, get-
007 Quantum of Solace
Bourne Conspiracy
Devil May Cry 4
Infinite Undiscovery
Operation Darkness
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Soul Calibur 4
Too Human
-
Infinite Undiscovery
that is tempting. how are the achievements?
-
Blockbuster is also cleaning out their old inventory. The prices are decent, about $10 less for their used games than anywhere else.
-
Infinite Undiscovery
that is tempting. how are the achievements?
three playthroughs required minimum
1pt achievement
on the hardest difficulty.
-
PURE is cool though.
Well worth the 10 bucks. Not a dime more, unfortunately.
-
No PC games? Fail.
WTF Best Buy? I had my jizz rag out and ready.
-
Pure is awesome period. I bought it at 30 and never regretted it.
Maybe picking up Infinite Undiscovery, Too Human, and Unreal Tournament and TNA impact. Mostly garbage. And i already had Too Human but cant pass on those prices hope i can find them on sunday/monday
Also picking up GTA DS at 20 bucks.
-
three playthroughs required minimum
1pt achievement
on the hardest difficulty.
effin japs. How many are casually gettable in one playthrough, in your opinion
-
I think I'll get TNA and 007. Short games that won't take long.
-
Infinite Undiscovery
Soul Calibur 4
Pure
Too Human
I'm thinking about getting 2 or 3 of these if my Best Buy has them.
-
three playthroughs required minimum
1pt achievement
on the hardest difficulty.
effin japs. How many are casually gettable in one playthrough, in your opinion
If you use a guide (missable items, etc) you can get like 950+
Still requires a bit of time though.
I only have like 654, since I was going to clean the rest up as I do Hard / Infinity
-
Might get Silent Hill Homecoming and maybe Pure.
-
There are a lot of decent-to-good games on that
-
Condemned 2
Devil May Cry 4
Pure
Rock Revolution
Silent Hill: Homecoming
Interested in those games.
-
will finally get around to buying DMC4
-
Looks like it'd be fun for a laugh or two.
-
You know what's smarter than buying Rock Revolution? Letting a file cabinet fall on you
Who does that?
-
is soul caliber 4 worth playing?
-
Long list of god awful games.
-
No Wii games? I see monster lab for ps2 and would pick up the wii version if applicable.
-
All I'm gonna say is I hope the media employees at your Best Buy stores aren't nerds. My store has 1 copy of Too Human and 1 copy of Operation Darkness. Want to know where they're at? Mwahahahahahaha! You'll never find them (until I buy them on Sunday)!
-
is soul caliber 4 worth playing?
Sure. It's pretty shallow and gets old fast and there's no 1p mode worth caring about, but it looks nice and is fun for a while with friends.
-
is soul caliber 4 worth playing?
Absolutely, especially for $10. It's shallow like Bebpo said (but still much better than SC3), but it's fun as hell and very accessable. The create-a-character mode actually rocks too; it's simplified from SC3 (no more unique styles), but is essentially the first custom character mode in any fighter where you can make characters that actually look as good as the original ones do.
Online is also very good. I played the hell out of this last summer/fall.
-
Hah, I think I just paid 12.99 for Fracture during my vacation/shopping trip. However, I'ma get PURE. That demo sold me, but I wasn't up for US$60 for it.
-
Definately getting Silent Hill. Besides Alone in the Dark, what's the easiest 1000 achievement game?
-
Bourne Conspiracy is an easy 1000
Operation Darkness is too, its a SRPG so you just gotta take your time
-

Is it really 2.5 bad or was that just another shitty IGN review?
-
Shitty IGN review, game rox
-

Bolt
-
My manager/supervisor was a dick and told one of the employees in Product Processing to put all the games we had in the back out on the floor. I went ahead and bought Too Human and Operation Darkness today since they were the last copies we had left of them and I'm planning on price matching them Sunday. I hid my copies of Infinite Undiscovery and Pure in a filing cabinet so I'll still get those Sunday. Dicks.
-
Shitty IGN review, game rox
How long are the battles in general? I don't wanna lose an hours worth of progress if I lose.

30mins+
-
the sale started on bestbuy.com
-
I'll pick up Devil May Cry 4 and Soul Calibur 4 today.
They appear to be sold out online.
-
The only games my local BB has that I'm interested in are Pure and Silent Hill Homecoming. Is that worth driving a total of 2 hours for a round trip to buy them?
-
I'm gonna price match these games at Sears and get em for cheaper (they do 10% of the difference)
-
Go to Bestbuy.com and look at the ad before you head to sears. The ad says 100 of games for $10, but only lists about 15-20.
-
All the good games are sold out online. :-\
-
All I could find when going to my BB was Rock Revolution :-\
-
Wow some fat ebay seller douchebag made off with literally a pallet of Soul Calibur IV games when I came in. Told him to fuck off and get a real job. Needless to say, everything I wanted to buy was all gone.

Shiiiet, I'll do this then.
-
a pallet?
The values of all these games will be so depleted by tonight. every distinguished mentally-challenged fellow in the world will be listing these games on amazon/ebay. Same thing happens every month with Sears clearance. The games end up being listed for little more than the price they were bought for as idiots to try to make $2 profit on shipping.
soul calibur is already down to $16.99 on amazon :lol
-
Sounds awesome.
-
Didn't bother going this morning and am not sure if it's worth a look at this point-- everything good is probably gone already.
-
the more that I think about it, the more I don't want any of these...
though Too Human might be good at this cheap of a price. :lol
-
Didn't bother going this morning and am not sure if it's worth a look at this point-- everything good is probably gone already.
They're giving rainchecks for games pictured in the ad. I'm considering if I should still go because of that...
-

FWIW, the only time I every rainchecked a game from Best Buy, it was when NG2 was selling for $10. By the time I got the rain check followup (like a month later), it was back to regular price.
-
My BB was pretty much cleaned out of everything good. :'(
-
sucks to hear other people saying their stores are cleaned out.
I just drove to two stores checking out PCs for my folks and snagged such great hits as:
--Too Human
--SH: Homecoming
--Infinite Undiscovery
--Soul Calibur 4
Summer of mediocre gaming, here I come! :smug
I might pick up DMC4 if I can find it, but I've played through Normal and Spartan twice each, as well as a ton of Bloody Palace...but that was on PC, so I'd have to do it all again :\

Gay. Anyway, I just got back. All they had was one copy of Operation of Darkness. I left the store and didn't bother trying to get a raincheck. It's times like this that I wish that I didn't live in a big city. :-\
-
ffs, I went to my BB at 11:30 this morning and I see some fat fuck neckbeard carrying at least 5 games in each of his grimy hands. Gonna try to price match at my local Meijer for some IU action, otherwise no dinner, dinner, dinner for me :maf Piece of shit scalpers
-
I didn't even see any $9.99 price displays for Infinite Undiscovery or Soul Calibur IV. All I saw that I gave a fuck about was Pure and Condemned 2, but ofcourse they were gone by the time I got there. I almost bought The Last Remnant for $40 out of anger, but I told myself to just leave. :lol
-
If anyone was looking for Too Human, I still have a copy that I will probably never pick up again. Send me a pm

what a cigarillo
-
All these fucking hoarders from CAG or Fatwallet can go suck a dick, seriously. BB should've at least implemented a one-title-per-person rule, but that defeats the purpose of clearing out these games, I guess.
GOD DAMN I want my SC4 fix. :maf
-
Ended up going since we ate right near the local Best Buy. Everything that was on sale -crap or not- was gone. No price changes or anything, just tons of empty space left over from the probable morning internet-ebayer rush.
-
My local BB didn't have jack. A bunch of Infinite Undiscovery, some Disney Sing It, and Jericho, that was about it.
-
007 had a SE?
It just had a T-shirt, I think it was a BB exclusive.
-
007 had a SE?
Edit: Oh and I went to three different best buys today and all they had were at least 100 copies of too human each.
I soo wanted to get pure and maybe fracture.
Will bite Fracture for $10. Guess the whole bald marine with really cool weapons thing appeals to me.
That and I kinda liked the demo.
-
phew, I got Walmart to admatch Infinite Undiscovery. Looks like dinner dinner dinner is back on the menu 8)
I would like to reiterate, if someone was looking for Too Human, I have a mint copy that someone can have if they want to pay for shipping.
-
I got there like 20 minutes after opening and everything was gone. Any whore I saw in the clearance aisle had AT LEAST 4-5 games in their hands and all I wanted was SC4 and maybe DMC4 but I didn't get shit.
Hopefully, all the scalpers make no profit and next sunday I'll be able to get something.
-
but your pretty much guaranteed it won't be any worse than Gears2.
-
lol @ scalpers going for these games. i guess i could see why.
-

How would I pay for it? I've never paid for anything online before with anything but my debit card.
-

Well since Gears 2 was one of my favorite games last year, I don't think I'll have to worry about that.
$10 should be a no-brainer then.

paypal
you could just send him a money order too.
-
i sent you a pm beezy
-
Best Buy game sales are great but they are always ruined by douchebags who show up and take everything.
-
I picked up:
Infinite Undiscovery
James Bond: Quantum of Solace
Operation Darkness
Pure
I also got Too Human and Soul Calibur 4 for my brother.
-
I had a look after my shift at 6 p.m. and unsurprisingly they were cleaned out. Nothing I really cared about anyway.
-
Lol. all these games are cheaper new than they are used on amazon right now.
and yeah, it's a combination of CAG, FW, SD, and randoms from every other site on the internet, since this deal was everywhere. CAGs will tell you it wasn't them, but i know about the underbelly of that site a little too well :shh
-
Bought Infinite Undiscover, Too Human, TNA Impact and Unreal today. My Best Buy had all of the games in stock.
but GTA Chinatown Wars at 35 :-\ Anyone need 2x of the 9.99 games that could send me a copy of GTA?
-
My Best Buy was cleaned out. Said people were lined up when the store opened. WTF? People lining up to get $10.00 games that are normally like $15-$20? I was there to get a hard drive, so it wasn't a big deal, I did get Alone in the Dark though. They had that, and a few others. Condemned 2, NFL Head Coach, and a absolute shitload of Rock Revolution and Wall-E.
-
Got DMC4. Went in Saturday evening and hid a copy behind some Wii games and picked it up Sunday night.

Ebay is full of crazy scalpers. tons of pure/bolt ect
-
None of those scalpers are going to be making a profit if you look at the prices they're selling the games for and add on all the extra costs they have to deal with.
-
A kind friend went and grabbed some for me, but they were out of Soul Calibur 4 and Wall-E where he went. But he nabbed these:
Bolt
Bourne Conspiracy
Condemned 2
Ratatouille
Warhammer
...so I'm stoked.
I've felt dumb ever since passing up Condemned2 for US$19.99 a year ago. Bourne Conspiracy's supposed to be pretty fun, but not groundbreaking. Bolt and Ratatouille I can play in front of my kids.
-
Bourne Conspiracy's supposed to be pretty fun, but not groundbreaking.
I played it a little bit and thought that it was really bad.

The shooting was janky, the hand-to-hand combat was clunky and repetitive, there was a lot of QTE, the driving parts were terrible, and the bullet-time whatever was poorly implemented.
-
Went in to pick up Infinite Undiscovery yesterday but they were sold out. Instead I picked up Silent Hill: Homecoming. Haven't had the chance to play it yet.
-

Crap! I'm doomed! QTEs are the bane of my existence. They're the only reason I've avoided Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, even though the demo felt pretty repetitive. Man, I hate QTEs.

hmm, I think I'll return IU. I don't think I'll play it.

The graphics, cutscenes, music, and sound effects were all really well done, so it might be worth it for just that, but the gameplay just isn't there.
-

GIMMEEEE
I'll buy it from you, I just have to figure out this paypal thing...

I've just spent 2 hours playing through HULK's mini-games and a couple of LUDICROUSLY badly written story missions, with some of the hokiest, low-rez, in-engine but prerendered movies I've ever seen. Maybe I've got some room for some cheese with decent production values for once.
-
Went and checked out my local store, naturally they were all out of anything worth buying imho.
-
hmm, I think I'll return IU. I don't think I'll play it.
Did you return it already? I was serious in my last post...
-
Thanks Kestastrophe, I just got it in the mail today. :D
-
Holy shit is this sale still going on?!
-
Today's the last day, but greedy internet people already bought everything on Sunday.
-
Thanks Kestastrophe, I just got it in the mail today. :D
Sweet, have fun brah

shit, sorry for not responding, but I hadn't opened the thread since I made that last post. Should've PMed me!
I don't have it anymore...I was going to return a bunch of this stuff, but I ended up trading Silent Hill, Too Human, and IU to Gamestop. threw two trash PS2 games with them and got a 40% bump in trade in value, so I got like $40 for those three.
just couldn't picture myself playing any of them this summer...
-
aww, ok
