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.

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.

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.

Best Buy game sales are great but they are always ruined by douchebags who show up and take everything.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...
