So I was just in Best Buy, and there was a basket full of PS3 games at 50% off through Labor Day. A lot of special edition stuff, like SOCOM with the headset, Endwar w/headset, Brothers in Arms, WWE 2009, etc. They also had a bunch of regular edition stuff in there, nothing too notable, but they did have Uncharted, Motorstorm, and some other A games.
They had the Resident Evil 5 Collector's Edition and I ended up paying $30 for it, which is half what they're charging for the plain old regular edition :lol
They're also still running the "Buy 1 360 game, get the 2nd at 50% off" special through Saturday.
So, just a heads-up. Each BB will probably have a different selection games, but it couldn't hurt to check.

crazy deals going on here too: http://www.gogamer.com/48-Hour-Madness_stcVVcatId544567VVviewcat.htm?AID=2202770&PID=3147237
considering Wolfenstein for $30 and Vegas 2 for $6 (w/shipping)
-
wolfenstein is worth $30 for the single player, it's pretty lengthy (and it gets just NUTS towards the end)
-
hahaha, shadowrun is 1 penny now, i paid $2 for it
-
I'm picking it up for a penny lol. The demo seemed alright way back when I played it, though I heard bad things about the PC version.
I'm thinking about getting Advent Rising for a dollar, but it isn't BC on 360.
aw, they're sold out of shadowrun
-
I bought Shadowrun for $55 (with my frickin' discount, no less).
It was fun until Halo 3 came out.
-
Yeah I was gonna buy that Shadowrun but then Eel came in to save the day

SUCKER
-
I wish we had such deals in my country. :-\
The $ is already so cheap, and yet you get all the deals...
-
Motorstorm 2? I still haven't picked it up. Waiting for it to hit $20-30
-

sending that off this weekend
also, be careful with going overboard on gogamer sales, they charge shipping for each item, so all those $2 games end up being $4
-
Eel, the PS3 version of RE5 is the worst version. You might want to consider returning it and just wait for the definitive version which will be released on the PC soon.
-
yes but $30 and lots of embarrassing trinkets in the box
-
this deal is ymmv. I just went to my local bb and they didn't have any deal like this.
-
would have went this Shadowrun but i remembered. Vista required. no sale.

It works on Win7 too though, I thought you had that
-
that 50% off ps3 thing is probably your store only, Eel.
man, I have a feeling black friday is going to be really good this year. The gen is in full swing, lots of good stuff has come out over the past two years, and a lot of it will be $19.99 or less. I'm gonna get Sigma 2 on launch, but nothing else until BF.

my windows7 is shitty and no games run well on it. i have to use XP to play games
-
your windows 7 suxxors.
sf4 pc runs pretty well on win7 rc.

wolfenstein is worth $30 for the single player, it's pretty lengthy (and it gets just NUTS towards the end)
how long is it? and it actually good or "not bad"? every impression I've seen on the game has been "it's surprisingly alright"
-
i got 8 hours out of it, but i'm an average gamer, so ymmv

Avoid like the fucking plague. Glitchfest shitstain. I'm convinced it's not even complete. You dont release trash like this.
-
I was kinda surprised that GS didn't do the buy 2 get 1 free used sale. Oh well.

that's weird you had such a bad experience with the 360 version, while i didn't experience any glitches in the pc version
sounds like achievements and trophies were an afterthought for consoles
pc version is fine as far as SP goes, and i haven't run into any MP glitches (although i admittedly haven't played many MP matches)
since swaggaz is looking at the pc version, and probably isn't into the MP side of it, i think he'll have a fine time for $30
-
Could save his money for Modern Warfare 2 instead, though.
-
if he wants to buy a $60 map pack, sure
-
Eel, since I've got my copy of SR2, we should co-op sometime. :-*

Isn't this going to be the Big New Thing from Infinity Ward? COD4:MW is supposedly one of the most innovative multiplayer games out there, but you think their first new game in ages is going to be just a "map pack"?
-
i'm sure it'll be a swell shooter for fans, but i'm not seeing the innovation in the trailers and gameplay footage
choose your own perks, throwing knives...none of that seems like a big deal to me
maybe if someone played it wearing those gimp goggles while in the nude they could call that innovative, maybe

sure! prole and i were having some trouble on sunday, i had to download a $10 expansion before we could play together, i think that's bullshit to hold online features hostage like that and i'll never do it again, but i really wanted to play co-op
-
Prole could have just deleted the content on his end.

The only real negative thing I can say about MW2 (so far) is that it seems like it's getting really cluttered. The trailers are showing of sticky grenades and throwing knives, all these kill streaks, and then there are separate single player, versus and co-op modes. If they can make it all work and feel balanced, it will be great.
and I'm still thinking about getting Wolfenstein or not. The thing that is interesting to me is the open world stuff. I saw a video where people talked about how you could explore the city with the alt.vision and find hidden areas. If there is good exploration there, that would set it apart for something like Call of Juarez, which was ok from the demo, but I didn't really feel the need to buy it.

Yeah, that's what Scenester and I did, even just to avoid a 5 min. wait for the free Unkut Pack. Then I just re-downloaded it again after we were done.
