If you guys don't have Dead Rising (in my opinion, one of the best Xbox exclusives), and you're feeling adventurous, Circuit City is going to have it on Black Friday for $9.99. There are a bunch of other deals (http://www.black-friday.net/video-games-black-friday.html) going on, too.
DPD. More Black Friday deals (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/25/holidaze-2008-best-of-black-friday/).
TPD. Condemned 2 pre-played for $9.99 from GameFly (http://www.dealcatcher.com/index.asp?v=8&m=1050&c=147817&o=1) for the 360 or the PS3.
Kermcast. Pre turned me on to a great site (http://fidgit.com) written by Tom Chick, who shares a lot of the same game opinions I have. Anyhow, he's been raving about Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts lately (I know, I know). There's a demo of it on the Marketplace, and it's pretty good. Amazon has it for $25 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019MLWL4?ie=UTF8&tag=whismedi-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0019MLWL4).

It looked cool, but at the same time, from what I've seen, it's almost nothing like the original two games. This one I guess is more of a customization/flying game? The other two were platformers, during that incredible run of awesome platforming games on the N64...okay, so Mario 64 and a few others were amazing, but still, that was the Platformer Era.

IAN, I have no idea. I think it's the name of the main characters, or something.
Weebs, yeah, the best way to describe this one is an engineering game. Download the demo and give it a shot. It's pretty fun.

Yes, to answer your question.
The problem with the AI is it's too inconsistent. Far Cry 2 is this huge open world in Africa, so the possibilities for having a stealth approach to a mission are pretty awesome, but the AI somehow spots you from a few hundred yards away, so you never have a chance to sneak up on anyone. Or if you do, after you get your first shot off, everyone knows where you are, no matter if you're hiding in the brush or behind a rock. However, sometimes an enemy can be standing right next to you, and they won't see you. When the AI is working right, it's friggen awesome. The only other problem is you'd think in a big open world, not every single person would be out to kill you, but that's just what happens. Almost every minute, even if you're driving somewhere with no enemies around, a jeep full of them will come down the road like they knew where you were the whole time. What they've done with the setting and some gameplay mechanics are amazing, but the shoddy AI holds it back.

My question cannot be answered with a "yes."
I think stealth in first-person shooters (and most other places) is for the most part a horrible idea, so bad stealth AI doesn't really bother me too much. I don't fire up a game so I can hide in some tall grass and wait there quietly.

To be honest, Weebs, if you look carefully when you're driving around you will notice that there are mounted jeep patrols on every single road. Not just little checkpoint stations at intersections, but actual dudes in jeeps roaming the dirt roads throughout the map. So, if you're heard coming down the street, you'll get shot at. It makes sense and it follows the design, because obviously the foes are on to you and are on the look out. However, the stealth part of the game is hard to do. The AI will find you out if you get too close. However, after reading a quick paragraph in a game guide, it makes sense to use the dart gun, the silenced MP5 and the silenced pistol to carry out any stealth missions. However, just like in real life, if you launch a rocket from a cliff, chances are any competent sniper or foot soldier will see your smoke trail and track it back to your spot. You have to move.
I'll admit that it seems like terrible AI, but the AI's actually really good. It's a tough game, which I like. Upgrading your weapons and finding diamond briefcases and golden AK-47's and shooting M32 grenade pistols is just flat out fung, mang. This is a very good game, and more than worth it's $40 price at the moment. I've only played about an hour's worth of the multiplayer, but that's because I was terrible at it. The map editor is outrageously deep, but I don't have all day to design Wrigleyville on an XBOX. I'll leave that to you, Weebs.

I'd have to disagree about the AI. I've played it quite a bit, and I played the original Far Cry quite a bit. Both suffered from a similar problem. I'm not saying it's completely illogical that you can be driving down a road and enemies will just randomly start attacking you (though, if you're in a jeep, it makes little sense that they can somehow know exactly who you are while they're driving in their jeeps a kilometer away), but I think it ruins the gameplay quite a bit. They make this huge open world, but they treat it like it's just one big shooting gallery, whereas they could have given a lot of depth to it. Other than the main town, it would be nice to go ANYWHERE in the game where you weren't getting shot at. When you already have to drive for a good 15 minutes just to get to the next location for your mission, it gets annoying as hell to be stopped every 60 seconds to fight off the next jeep or guard station. If either the AI didn't attack you all the time, or there was just less travel between missions, the other of the issues wouldn't seem like as big a deal. I'm going to start playing it again in the next few weeks, but I just know when I had stopped (about 25% through the game), I was growing really annoyed with spending at least a quarter of my time just driving to a new mission.

Therein lies my beef with the game: you're right in that you're attacked seemingy always. And, there is a way to get around that; taking the bus. But, if they build this gorgeous, utterly magnificent African landscape why would they sabotage it with a bus system just so you don't die/encounter enemies at every intersection? I just think it has something to do with the design of the game: it's not like a living city in GTAIV, where nobody is really aware of who you are. You're in a faction-controlled part of Africa where warlords run the place. You sort of stick out from the others. However, the stealth tactics should be between what they are in this game and what they were in Splinter Cell: Double Agent. In SCDA, it was too easy to be stealthy. In FC2, it's a definitely harder to be stealthy, which sucks for a game that could easily reward stealth combat.

The bus would be useful...if the missions were ever actually located near it. I guess it's good for getting you to a general area (by the way, it took me till about 20% into the game to find out there was a bus station in the main town), but there's still a pretty long trek after that. As far as the stealth goes, I mean if you want to spend your whole time running through the brush and going completely out of the way to avoid enemies, it's somewhat possible. But there are still times where I have been running or crouching (by the way, why is there no prone?) hundreds of yards away from anyone, down in the brush, and suddenly a jeep will be driving across the field behind me, stop, and the retarded gunner on top won't be able to shoot because I'm standing right next to him. If Ubisoft had just made the AI a little less omniscient, or not made it so everyone was always out to kill you (all I'm asking is that they wait for you to shoot first), it would be one of the best games I've played. As it stands, it's a very innovative game with absolutely astounding production values, but it's lacking in it's most important area, which is the actual gunplay.

Entirely not true. A player can sneak up on people. I have done plenty of it. You should be careful where you use the second person because the person reading might be capable of playing the game right.

They talk amongst themselves? They have ears? And eyes? And object permanence? What kind of shoddy AI is this?!?!?
Can't you be like a normal college student and go read Siddhartha and talk about how you're going to hike the Appellation trail to continue your road to self actualization?
Your constant attempts to analyze the fun out of games is a total drag. Isn't there mod team you can join and endlessly bag on other people's awesomeness and how your stuff will be so much better while your mod project languishes on for two years and never gets past version 0.04b and only 2 artist conceptual drawings of guns are created?

If anyone sees a good deal for Rock Band or World Tour, let me know. The Murton's pooled the Channukah gelt and want it.

Best Buy has the World Tour Guitar Game on sale for $80 right now, instead of $100. It doesn't have the mic and drums, so it's probably better if you already have Rock Band or are planning to buy the full version of that.
Gamefly is selling off some of their used games. Up to 50% off.

Nice post. Didn't see anything there I liked, though. Battlefield: Bad Company for $25 is a good deal, as the multiplayer in that game is vastly underplayed and underrated.

I've heard that about Battlefield. MLB 2K8 is probably worth $8, too. But not for PS3. I heard it's buggy as hell for PS3.

Might as well wait until 2K9 comes out in a couple of months. VC is developing it, and apparently they started before 2K8 came out, so they have had a full development cycle. Kush did 2K8, and it's a horseshit developer, so hopefully VC can make the game a lot more fun to play.

I think I traded it in pretty soon after I bought it. I was not a fan of that game. Too bad they don't make The Show for 360. Or if only EA and Take-Two could have switched contracts. ESPN NFL 2k5 was the best football game I've ever played, and MVP 2005 was the best baseball game I've ever played. What the hell!

Who's VC?
My argument with Kush's iterations was that, although I found the gameplay to be really solid in 2K8, the environments were absolute shit. The players looked awesome in 2K7 and 2K8, but the stadiums had no textures and they just looked so last-gen. I know the gameplay wasn't perfect and that there are things that need fixing, but the innovations with the pitching and throwing were outstanding. I just wish that they could add some life into the stadiums so that they at least make it fun to look forward to seeing it 81 times during your Franchise. Graphical overlay and giving the environments a facelift is what I really hope they improve on.
That game had so many fucking glitches. There were many times were play would freeze for a second.

VC is Visual Concepts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Concepts). They did the game back when it was World Series Baseball (and was good), and they do the NBA 2K games, which are apparently pretty great. Don't let the link fool you. They really had nothing to do with the shit that was MLB 2K6-2K8. I agree with most of what you said, but the hitting mechanic, which is probably the most important thing in a video game, was total shit. It was still either singles or home runs, and there were several times I'd score 0 runs for the first 7 innings, then suddenly hit 6 bombs in the 8th. Stupid.
They got rid of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller, though, so the game is instantly better than last year.

THIS.
All I ask is that they take the swing stick and apply it to MVP's zone hitting. I have no problem with the actual mechanic of pulling the analog back and pressing up, but at least let it function like moving the left analog around in the old MVP games. It was incredibly satisfying to see a fastball coming inside, pull left on the analog and yank a double down the line. In the newest 2k games, "aiming" has very little effect on the outcome. I'd rather score run with doubles into the gaps or down the lines than a bunch of retarded 450 foot homeruns from Felix Pie.

I don't mind that idea, but honestly 2K8's basic mechanic could work if done properly. Again, MVP NCAA 2006 had the best hitting mechanic ever. You could hold down the left trigger for a power swing or hold down the right trigger for a contact swing (or neither for a normal swing). You didn't have to aim where you were swinging the bat, but timing was crucial, and you could try to push or pull the ball by pulling the R-stick back and pushing it up to the left or right.
There has never been a more satisfying video game home run feeling than hitting one in that game. It was hard as hell.
What I really wish they'd do is keep the pitching mechanic from last year with 2 changes.
1. Get rid of the goddamn meatballs. Stupidest thing ever.
2. Instead of allowing a pinpoint location if you hit your spots, only allow the pitching reticule to shrink to the size of a couple baseballs' width/height. Depending on your pitcher's accuracy and your own accuracy with the meter, your pitch could land anywhere in that reticule. So, if you're trying to paint the corner, and you nail the meter perfectly, there's still a random chance that it will be a ball. A better chance of that if you're playing with Ryan Dempster in the 2008 postseason versus, say, Maddux.

The hitting mechanic drove me bonkers at times. I sort of figured it out a bit by just making it easier to hit with the game sliders. However, that meant that I'd win almost every game. I don't mind losing at the game. In fact, that makes it fun to play. It sucks to lose, but it's even more fun to come from an 8-game losing streak and rattle of five straight series wins to right the ship.
Anyway, back to the hitting mechanic. I like the one that was used in All Star Baseball's series back on the PS2s and original XBOXs. You'd place your cursor in the zone, and would be able to tilt your reticule in every direction. If you expected an outside slider, you could tilt your reticule down and to the right to try and get a grounder through first and second. If you expected a fastball up and in, you could tilt the cursor up and to the left to try and get a homer or double down the line in left (for a righty).
It's pretty hard to come up with new ways to simulate a baseball game. I think the pitching was good. The throw meter was even better. The animations were actually pretty good as well. They also need to work on the computer's strategy. I don't think I was ever stolen on in my games. I would always hit far too many homeruns compared to doubles.
I can't stress the stadiums enough. It's really something to watch a baseball game on TV in a great stadium, especially with some of the new and old ones currently in baseball. They need to find a way to make them more realistic, more lively, and definitely better looking. Why, oh why, haven't they figured out that the walls actually curve in the wells at Wrigley? Why are the walls jointed in those areas? And, for God's sake, come up with an animation for the ivy. I still don't understand why they can't make the ivy any better looking than they have so far.

Well, it's true. I don't want to win every single game. What's the point of playing through a Franchise if I'm going to ultimately end up 140-22? It makes the game way less fun to play if there's no reason to play it.

I couldn't agree more. Again, another reason why I love MVP NCAA so much is that I did get beaten regularly. If the pitching was harder, it would have been even more challenging.

My biggest gripes are that games end 22-4 or games end 1-0 w/ 3 hits. It seems to be extremes. And without major tweakage, computer pitching stamina is overboard because they rarely ever walk anyone.

First and only. They made 2007 only for the PS2 because apparently they cut half their staff. 2007 actually did the 2K8 pitching mechanic before 2K8 did it. And, unfortunately, 2006 doesn't work on the 360. It's the only reason I keep my old Xbox around.
And ADC hit it on the head. It was feast or famine when it came to the hitting in 2K8. I think the main reason for that is because to make the game difficult, you had to crank up pitch speed, but then it was impossible to distinguish balls from strikes, so you basically just had to swing. Once you got the timing down, it was home run city. It also didn't help that the goddamn strike zone was the size of a barn.

They got rid of Joe Morgan and Jon Miller, though, so the game is instantly better than last year.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I entirely disagree. Morgan and Miller are perfect for a video game because when they
tell the same asinine stories for 162 games, seem oblivious to player's current performance, and are rarely correct about
the action on the field then it's exactly like them in real life.

I didn't say "more realistic." I said "better." 2K8 was the only sports game I've ever played in which I turned off the announcers.

How much time did you have to spend on the pole to get 10 tips?
I don't know about BK, but for me it's about 20 minutes of communal dance for each
individual back room dance. So it's about 3 hours, 20 minutes of dance time to see 10 tips.
I get a hell of a lot more than $10 for it, though.

Ninja Gaiden II for the 360 is at Best Buy for $10 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8735513&st=ninja+gaiden&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1201913484140), but shipping isn't available, and the only store I could find it out by me was in North Aurora.
Thank you sir. I'm getting it right now.
Well, don't get it in North Aurora. There were only 2 left, and I picked one up for me and one up for one of my buddies. Let's just call him "Bill."
First the hockey tickets and now this. You'll never learn.
I already got my $10 back from him. In singles. Looks like we're hitting the strip club after Shitty's on Friday.

BEER AND PUSSY!
The Simpsons Game (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874105574&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA?sid=777) is $7.99 at Newegg. It's a fun little game with a lot of great Simpsons humor in it. It's significantly funnier than the movie was.
In case anyone wants to decide to take the plunge and buy a PS3, up until March 26th, I believe, you can get $100 off either PS3 (80GB or 160GB w/Uncharted) and free shipping from Dell.com. Just enter this code at checkout:
Z0WPL1J0CC3W47
I'm not sure yet if I'll get one, but that's a pretty sweet deal. Also, Slakee (I think you're the one who just bought a PS3), I'm sorry this is a week too late.

Also for anyone looking, this week at Best Buy, if you buy a PS3, you can get The Show, Killzone 2 or LittleBigPlanet for free.
It looks like gamers aren't the only ones bitching at Sony about the price of the PS3.
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aiHCQM2xNCmU
The price cut should come just in time for me to buy one and have it go the way of HD-DVD.

I was just reading a price cut is expected next week at GDC. As for anyone who owns one now or will soon and are interested in buying LittleBigPlanet, it's only $21.90 for the next few days at GoGamer.com:

Thanks, Weebs. I just bought it. I rented this game for a few days and thought it was fun as hell. I just didn't feel sold on $60 for the game. $25 is much more reasonable though.
If anyone is interested, Dell is selling 360s for really cheap. Go HERE (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/XBOX_360/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=A1840403&lid=566643&acd=10495476-249294-enter_sub_id&dgc=CJ&cid=24471) and put in the following coupon: Z0WPL1J0CC3W47 It should be $239.20 with free shipping after that.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent for the 360 is $9.99 at NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16874170002&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA?sid=777). I got it for a similar price a while ago and still haven't really messed with it, but I heard it's decent. I'm sure it's worth $10.

Really nice game. The stealth gameplay is sort of unreal in a noticeable kind of way as it relies upon shadows in broad daylight at times. You'll know when you get there. Other than that, most of the game is actually well worth your time.
Don't expect to shoot much of anything as all you'll get is an assault rifle, a pistol and some kind of gun that knocks out light bulbs so you can use the shadows for cover. You'll get to hide under tables, in lockers and such and get to use surprise attacks from hidden locations. The graphics are nicely done as well. I'm a fan of most Tom Clancy franchises.

Not sure where I should post this, but I have a question about XBOX Live. I'm going to my parents' this weekend and bringing my console with me so that my brothers and I can play online together in the same house. They have a console, too, and use wireless as their internet source. The question is, will I be able to get on Live by just hooking up to their XBOX (which uses the wireless adapter) with an ethernet cable, or would I have to buy a whole new adapter for my separate console?

I don't know if I know what you're saying, but if they have a router, I can't imagine you having too many problems getting on Live.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. How do you hook up? Ethernet too? You can have 2 consoles on XBL (with different GT's on each) in the same house. I've seen 4 on XBL at one house once. It works fine. No problem, provided your internet can handle it

You are a perfect candidate for an interactive game called "couch potato" or possibly "the midwesterner" that my friends and I are developing. It's like the Wii, only you get points for not moving and for gaining weight. We're looking for investors.
TDubbs, don't worry. There will be plenty of parent talk and beer drinking with the folks and catch playing with my brothers. We may decide to spend an hour or two playing a few video games, if that's okay with you.
Have a good weekend, fellas.
Oh, and Kerm...you should probably take Best Buy up on that deal.

Have a good weekend, fellas.
Oh, and Kerm...you should probably take Best Buy up on that deal.
R6: Vegas and GRAW? I have both of them already.

Oh, no. I'd definitely pick it up if that was the case.
Does anyone know of any other good deals on the PS3? I was going to buy one with that Dell coupon code, but hearing that Sony might announce a price drop this week, I held off. Turns out it was the PS2 going down to $99 and now the code at Dell has expired.

A quality game if you're in a lull with your current library. The multiplayer, especially the team objective ones, are solid. Many guns, cool sounds, large maps.
I thought the demo for Too Human was terrible, but the full game is $12 at Buy.com (http://www.buy.com/prod/too-human-microsoft-too-human-complete-product-standard-1-user-retail/q/loc/108/204110364.html) right now if you want it.

It's gotten terrible reviews. And what definitely eliminated it from consideration for me is apparently every time you die, there's like a 20-30 second cutscene that can't be skipped.

Yea, I saw that while I was in there yesterday... I thought about posting something, but I got lazy and started eating
One of my personal goals is to work with Yeti on this, but its hard for me to get motivated, because posts like these are awesomely funny. It almost makes me want to break my decade-long boycott on Doritos.
ALMOST.
I'm going to go eat now.
Re: Newegg, I'm out of the loop, but I do hear they have the market cornered on offering great deals. Never tried 'em before, but heard plenty of positive feedback.

He died once, just to see how unrealistic it was.
The people responsible for ruining my 2008 (who have left 8 voicemails on my phone this week -- I have not spoken to them since last July) told me Too Human was Best Game Ever territory. So, it pleases me greatly to hear that its a piece of shit. I would have assumed as much, but seeing confirmation of its shittiness makes me happy in that vindictive sorta way.

If you want to confirm it yourself, download the demo and play it for five minutes.

I think Devil May Cry 4 would be worth the $10. If you're looking for a survival horror game, I've heard good things about Silent Hill. I've been wanting to pick up Soul Calibur IV as I need a good fighting game. And from everything I've heard, Pure is awesome.
Yeah, I played a bit of Pure for the PC. It didn't control well, but it's probably better on the nerdbox. I didn't care for the one Silent Hill game I've played before, but for $10 I'll probably pick up that Devil May Cry. So between those two and the MS points I'll have to buy to pick up the Nothing's Shocking pack for Rock Band, I'm an economy stimulatin sumnabitch this week.
Don't know if anyone ever makes it out to Fry's Electronics, but had to go there today to pick up some cables and junk and picked up a MS Live subscription card for $16 instead of the normal $20. The 12 month ones were only $40 instead of $50. I love that store.
Pure is $19.99 on Amazon for today only. I've heard it's a great game, but I haven't tried it yet:

Here's a good deal (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225012) if you want $50 off the Beatles game.

I'm guessing the 10 AM deal is going to be HAWX. I've been wanting to buy that game for a while, but even at the $40 price tag they dropped it down to, I don't think it's worth it. I played the demo and had a lot of fun, but there just doesn't seem to be much depth. Hopefully the deal price is really cheap. Also, it could very well be a Ghost Rider game...
I'd guess the next deal is that Velvet Assassin, maybe. Seems like there will also be at least one or two Guitar Hero/Rock Band games, the limited edition of Halo Wars, and Quantum of Solace.
Edit: It's Battlefield: Bad Company, not Velvet Assassin.

I think the sequel comes out sometime in the next few months. It looked kind of cool, but I've always been a huge fan of the regular Battlefield games on the PC. This one seems a lot different, but the destructible environments are pretty awesome.

Sir, you are fucking correct. I picked up Battlefield: Bad Company a long time ago, but before I bought the game I played the demo nonstop. The complete version is outstanding, and they supposedly updated their servers for better connections (maybe, or something). Anyway, the multiplayer is outstanding. I finally got my little brother to get into it and it's even more fun with an actual teammate that, y'know...works with you.
I heartedly endorse this game, but BBC2 is coming out in early 2010 and it looks flat out balltacular. In the new game, you can now outfit your guns how you choose, like Call of Duty. You couldn't do that in the original, which is limited to a relatively small weapons loadout. Still, riding in tanks, humvees, golf carts, light tanks, technical buggies, technical boats (called cutters in the game) and even helis is really fun. In large tanks, up to four people can ride. One driver (who mans the main artillery), a main machine gunner and two flank machine guns. The helis support two person crews and you can fit three or four in a humvee.

BF1943 is going to be so half assed! 12 vs 12 compared to the 32 vs 32, only three maps at launch which are all just maps for BF1942. Sure the destructible environments will be cool and I think it's going to be an arcade only title and probably around $20 instead of a full $60 but they'll end up releasing more maps you end up paying for anyway. I was a huge BF on the PC fan (every version and every expansion bought within the week they came out) so I just don't know about this one. I loved the 64 player madness.
Oh yeah, someone on the CAG forums posted about a text and email contest for 800 free MS points.

I agree. BF1943 looks disappointing. They delayed the PC version till next year, so I really don't care about it anymore. All the other games in the series (Vietnam being the lone exception for me) have been outstanding. I just reinstalled 2142, and I thought that was a really good game, though most critics seemed to dislike it. Things seemed to be move a bit slower, or at least more controlled, which is necessary for a game that requires a lot of precision but relies so heavily on network performance. I actually preferred the Desert Combat mod for BF1942 over BF2, although that game did pretty much start the customizable/upgradeable kits that so many FPS games now use.

I just reinstalled 2142, and I thought that was a really good game, though most critics seemed to dislike it. Things seemed to be move a bit slower, or at least more controlled, which is necessary for a game that requires a lot of precision but relies so heavily on network performance. I actually preferred the Desert Combat mod for BF1942 over BF2, although that game did pretty much start the customizable/upgradeable kits that so many FPS games now use.
I loved 2142 also. Sure it could have just been an expansion to BF2 but I still played the crap out of it. I didn't care for the Desert Combat mod at all. Liked BF2 a whole lot more. Just wish they'd redo 1942 and step it up to what BF2 was and of course add more, not just cut back on the amount of players and re-use the same old maps.
I'm actually thinking about BF1943. It looks pretty good from what I've seen so far.

I'm in.
Battlefield: BC for $25. Newegg has it for $20. Duh.
EDIT: I'm a moran. It's the gold edition at Amazon and the regular edition at Newegg.
FURTHER EDIT: Apparently, the only thing you get in the gold edition are some weapons that you unlock through playing the game, anyhow. Doesn't seem worth an extra $5.
You should get it.

Unfortunately, this will just give even more ammo to the anti-gaming, twat-faced mothers out there who are now going to fear this will turn their kid into a ghey.

There are a flabillion golf courses in the United States. There are googleflabillion golf courses in the world. There's even one on the moon. You think it's too much to ask that EA release four or so golf courses as DL support for the game, even if I'm willing to drop 200 Microsoft Points each to do so? Do you work for EA? You sure do defend them to the death.

If they plan to release 50 courses as DLC in the coming months, I take back everything I ever said bad about EA.
Quite a few deals on used games at GameFly (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=1207). I've bought used from them before, and the games are always in good condition. It's too bad their service is so horrendous.

As far as customization: You can have your face rendered by EA if you submit them a front and side picture of yourself (If you wear glasses, don't wear them on the pictures.. It will just create a strange ring around your eyes that makes it look like you have bags around them.). There are tons of shirts, pants, shoes, gloves, clubs, grips, shafts, balls, glasses, watches, and hats of many different brands that you can purchase with your tour and bonus money winnings. The only thing I don't like about them is that certain clothes provide attribute boosts. While that's nice to have, it also takes a little away from dressing your player in the clothes that you want them to be in and it entices you to buy clothes that are going to help your character. For example, right now, I have a visor on that helps my accuracy... but I don't really want the thing.

Right now they're going for $38.97. You also receive the code online which is nice. Saved me a trip to Best Buy for an actual card.
Edit: Sorry, $38.97 for 13 months. Not one month.

While it's not as good of a deal, I realized you can buy XBL subscription codes on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Live-Month-Bonus-Online/dp/B001V7QIDE/ref=amb_link_84085411_2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=hero-quick-promo&pf_rd_r=0QGW05DE0NJWSQ07TYPD&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=477943911&pf_rd_i=B000B9RI00) at a discount from the standard rate of $6/mo. Right now they're going for $38.97. You also receive the code online which is nice. Saved me a trip to Best Buy for an actual card.
Along the same lines, I've always found this to be a pretty good deal: 12 months of Live with Project Gotham Racing 4, the keyboard messenger attachment, and a headset for $59. (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Live-Month-Messenger-Gold/dp/B001EKTF60/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1245369920&sr=8-4) Not bad, especially if you have a broken headset.
If you don't have it already, Call of Duty World at War is $40 at Game Stop. They also will give you 120% trade in credit when your trade in is used to purchase NCAA Football 2010.

Looks like I can finally trade in my copy of Pokemon Diamond!
The new Bionic Commando for all systems at Gamestop. $20 (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=72100&affID=77777&sourceID=59JLB7sBj1c-nZOwR8wWR4S1biVs_J9uvg). The reviews were mediocre, but $20 is pretty damn cheap.
Oh, and apparently a few other ones (http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/08/bionic-commando-wheelman-more-drop-to-20-in-gamestop-sale/) are $20, as well. Weebs, weren't you talking about wanting HAWX? Now is your chance.

You can see all the games here. (http://www.gamestop.com/browse/ProductMerch.aspx?groupid=531)
I have really wanted to get HAWX, and $20 is about the price where I won't feel too bad if it sucks. Also on there is Wheelman, which for anyone who hasn't played it, is actually pretty fun. I downloaded the demo a while back and it was surprisingly cool. I don't know how the story or any of that crap is, and there are some on-foot segments that don't seem particularly interesting, the but driving is pretty fun. It's sort of like playing Burnout, but you get to jump between cars, spin them around and shoot at the car behind you, and do a bunch of other cool, Vin Diesel shit.

Brothers in Arms is maybe worth the $20, if you want to virtually relive WWII for the 907th time.

I never liked the other Brothers in Arms because the squad based stuff wasn't something I liked. On a whim, I bought Hell's Highway and it was pretty damn fun.

Might as well pick up Bionic Commando and probably finally get Force Unleashed and then grab the DLC for that.

I picked up Bionic Commando, too. The reviews were good enough to take a chance at $20, and I love the IP on which it's based. I agree with Weebs on Force Unleashed (and I'm sure Pre will, too). I didn't even bother with the full game, because the demo was absolute garbage.

I rented it the first week I got the nerd box and loved it. Maybe its the star wars geek in me mixed with the 3rd person game which is what I love on consoles. I thought it was great. I'm still in Detroit until monday, away from my precious white box of nerdlove though.

Do yourself a favor, if you haven't yet, pick up the Knights of the Old Republic games for the original Xbox. I actually haven't played much of the sequel, but the original is one of the best games (and RPGs) of all time.

I had the first one. I'm just not much into RPG's unless it's a hack and slash button masher type RPG. I got bored too easily with KOTOR. I did have fun getting drunk off my ass one night and watching my buddy play it while I yelled at him that he was doing it wrong. I'm going to have to try the new MMORPG of SW:TOR when it comes out. Odds are I'll be sick of it after a month or so, but I'll still have to try it.

The Old Republic should be pretty good, although Sony set a pretty high bar for me with Star Wars Galaxies back when it released a long time ago. Although it eventually epic failed, it was a pretty amazing game and had some awesome ideas.
If you're looking for a more twitch-based, action RPG, play Mass Effect. I bought it when it came out in 2007 and loved it, and I'm actually about to beat it for a second time now on the PC. It's a fantastic game and the sequel looks even better.
If you guys have a bunch of old games you feel like trading in, now is the time to do it. Over the past week, I've traded mostly my collection of DS games I don't play anymore, along with some 360 games. Gamestop has a deal where you get an extra 10% trade-in for 2 games, 20% for 4 games, and 40% for 6 games. Combine that with the extra 10% you get if you have one of their cards and that's up to 50% bonus. I've done that twice, and for this weekend they're also doing buy 2, get 1 free on used games. This week, I've gotten NCAA Football 10, Ninja Gaiden II, Battlefield: Bad Company, Rayman for the Wii, Tiger Woods 10, Killzone 2, and Resident Evil 5 (which I think I'm going to return for Fight Night 4), and I've had to spend a total of $10 out of my own pocket. Of course, I'm sure I spent way more than all those games are worth for the original purchases, but still, it's worth it if you don't plan on playing your old games anymore.

I was debating trading in the first Rock Band and the AC/DC track pack just to get what I could for them and pick something else up but I was wondering if for some reason something messes up with my hard drive and I have to reinstall all of Rock Band 2, would I need the disc to reinstall the songs from RB1 or could I just dl those? If I need the disc, I'll probably just hold onto the AC/DC too for the hell of it. I know all I needed was the code off that and I can dl them again, but if I only get a few bucks, I think I'd rather just have the case on the shelf.

I'm pretty sure after you transfer them from RB1 to RB2, they're just installed onto your hard drive. You would probably need the disc to get them again, as I'm pretty sure you never actually get the files from online, but rather straight from the disc.

If it's only $20, then I'm sure they have tons in stock. They usually only open about 4 copies to put on the floor.

So I guess this is to clear stock for some newer version with extra stuff that's coming out. Only thing that really sucks about Game Stop with new games is sometimes you'll get an opened copy that they still sell as new. bleh.

Right, but if it's clearing stock, they're going to have a lot more than the few copies that are gutted on the floor. I was in one of the stores a few days ago and I think I remember seeing a good 10 copies for the 360 sitting behind the counter. If you get a hold of one, go to Wal-Mart, as I'm pretty sure they'll let you exchange without a receipt. They're still selling it for regular price. My friend bought Dead Space from there a few months ago, went back without a receipt the other day and swapped it out for NCAA.

If it's only $20, then I'm sure they have tons in stock. They usually only open about 4 copies to put on the floor.
So I guess this is to clear stock for some newer version with extra stuff that's coming out. Only thing that really sucks about Game Stop with new games is sometimes you'll get an opened copy that they still sell as new. bleh.
Right, but if it's clearing stock, they're going to have a lot more than the few copies that are gutted on the floor. I was in one of the stores a few days ago and I think I remember seeing a good 10 copies for the 360 sitting behind the counter. If you get a hold of one, go to Wal-Mart, as I'm pretty sure they'll let you exchange without a receipt. They're still selling it for regular price. My friend bought Dead Space from there a few months ago, went back without a receipt the other day and swapped it out for NCAA.
I bought it, but thought it sucked. I dunno, the remakes of these classic arcade fighters just don't seem nearly as fun for me. Maybe if I had a couple of those Street Fighter arcade sticks, but there's no way I'm buying two of those. I ended up trading it in at Game Stop yesterday and actually got a buck more in trade in than I paid for it after tax.

My WalMart hate is massive, but assholes defrauding companies like this is why
so many companies have such shit hole return policies.

For how much the big chains rip off consumers and employees left and right, I feel no remorse taking advantage when I can.
I'm with Pre on this one. Except the Wal-Mart hate part. I like them. But yea defrauding companies is kind of bullshit. How do they rip off the consumer? By making a profit? And, based off of my experience at a big chain (Best Buy), the main reasons employees get screwed over is becuase of things at the store level, not the corporate level.
I only shop at Buy More. Ask for Morgan. http://www.insidebuymore.com (http://www.insidebuymore.com)

It would be awesome if it actually happens in a functional way. However, Game Stop
and such start with prices ~$5 more expensive than Best Buy for a new release and
then will have the used for about the same price. By the time the used price drops
to any significant level below retail value Best Buy has most likely either stopped
carrying it or at least somewhat dropped the price. Kermit seems to spend at least
two hours a day comparing game prices and showing me that everything is cheaper
from New Egg anyways. Best Buy has become a lot more like Target as far as holding
onto a minimum of older games. Hell, the one by me doesn't even stock some lower
volume new titles. We're only a few years short of digital console game distribution
catching up with where Steam/Impulse/D2D/etc are on the PC side and it becomes
mostly a moot point. At most, there's a few price war things between Best Buy and
Game Stop in the middle of Idaho for a couple months and a bunch of media coverage
and fifty two kids get a cheap copy of Assassin's Creed 2.
On the plus side, PC game costs (for consumers) are way down due to direct downloading.
On the down side, the DRM is to the point that the used market is pretty much dead.
Also, you should be getting all your old console games through goozex.com (http://goozex.com) anyways.
Also also, I forget where I was going to work this in, but I've bought more games this
year from 7-11 than I have from Best Buy or Game Stop.

Brothers in Arms is maybe worth the $20, if you want to virtually relive WWII for the 907th time.
This. I got this game from Goozex last night, and I really enjoy it so far. If you liked the first one on the original Xbox, this one is more of the same, although it looks a lot prettier and you can actually shoot Germans when they're behind cover. The sound is terrific. It's a little more strategic than a Call of Duty-type game, so if that's not your thing, pass on it. I think it got dinged on its scores because (1) it's yet another WWII shooter, and (2) the multiplayer is supposedly pretty bad.

Multiplayer is basically nonexistent, but the single player is a solid story. There are some weird texture popins and the grassy fields look a bit last gen, but for the most part shooting Nazis in the face with the M1 Garand is pretty fun. I liked collecting the Killroys, too. If you pay attention, you will see flashes of Leggett during some scenes. The levels in the insane asylum are pretty freaky, for a military FPS.
Replaying the game on the hardest level can be a challenge as you get no reticule. It becomes very hard to aim your gun and easier to get hit, but using the aim down your sights on the your weapon helps tremendously, especially if you change your controller settings to "Tour of Duty." It's basically the Call of Duty control, with the LT being the sights button.
Glad you like it.

I just checked the GameStop site and it says I can call the local store where I ordered the pickup. But, I also checked out the Best Buy list and OpFlash wasn't on it. So, I'm good. But, there are some really good preorder titles on that list, like Mafia II and Red Dead Redemption.

I decided to open it. This game is awesome. I actually thought Rock Band's guitar playing was a lot worse than Guitar Hero's, but the few little changes they made for The Beatles make a huge difference. Particularly, the rectangles are bigger for hitting notes, so it either gives you a little more leniency or at least makes it feel that way. Regardless, it's a shitload of fun.

You'll have to interact with an actual human if you deal with customer service on the phone, so I'd say try the internet.

You should have already gotten the points the moment you agreed to send the game. The only time points are based on feedback is if someone "tips" you with points for delivering the game really quickly or in great condition.

On my account page, it says:
points traded: 1000 (will earn at positive feedback)

I wonder if that's just for games selling for a lot of points. Or whether it's a new thing they're doing.

I think it's new, because it also happened for a game I sold for only 300 points. I'm guessing maybe after a certain amount of time, when it's confirmed delivered, the points automatically get added.
But this makes me think, couldn't me and you just "trade" a 1000 point game with each other, send an empty box, and get all the points?

I would imagine it's because you are a new user. Once you get a certain
level of feedback it gives you your points right away. It deducts points from
the person who received the game right away. They have no real incentive
to not provide feedback.

a) it randomly matches you to people
b) that's absolutely idiotic. Person 1 gains 1000 points, person 2
loses 1000 points and a dollar. I like how instead of not sending
anything at all, your brilliant plan involves sending an empty box
so person 1 loses postage costs also. I can't wait for version two
of this plan where you sell each other items on ebay and then eat
rat poison.

So Game Crazy is closing 200 stores. Starting this weekend all stock left in the store will be 30% off and increase in discount each week for three weeks. They'll pull all the consoles and hot games of course to send to other stores, but there might be some good deals to be had. Partial list of stores in the link below.

It doesn't. Amazon is doing the same (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_85716871_1?ie=UTF8&docId=1000436751&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-2&pf_rd_r=077K0A7SM3HAQDZ3C7P7&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=494512851&pf_rd_i=468642).
Their titles are pretty limited though. Toys R Us covers all games including Uncharted and Brutal Legend, although I've heard they sold out at almost all of their stores because of it.
Some pretty good used stuff at GameFly (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=1550). In my experience with their used discs, they're always in very good shape.

I'm pretty sure the price for HAWX has gotten low enough where there's no reason I shouldn't buy it.
This may be somewhere already, but I'm too lazy to look.

One more thing, the CoD4 map expansion is half price on XBOX Live.
Left 4 Dead 2 for $54.99 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002BRZ852/ref=nosim/cheapassgam08-20), with a deal for $10 off a future game.
The Black Friday deals over at NewEgg are active now. There's some pretty good prices on there:
http://promotions.newegg.com/games/BlkFri09/index.html
Got up early on Thursday and got Dragon Age, the new Need for Speed, Madden 10, Left for Dead 2 and a few other titles for 34.99 each at Best Buy.com.
Can't beat 25 bucks off on new release titles like that, especially Dragon Age and Left for Dead 2.
Anyone know any good online sales right now? I heard there were some good ones on Black Friday but I missed that. Apparently NBA 2k10 was 25 bucks at Walmart.

They kept a lot of the prices low, though. I missed the Best Buy L4D2 deal, but was able to get it on Amazon for $39.99. Slak, whenever I'm looking for something specific, I generally check Newegg, Best Buy, and Amazon. A lot of times, one of the three will have a decent deal.
For anybody looking to get a new wireless 360 controller, I highly recommend buying a refurbished one from MicroCenter for only $20. I'm not sure if there's any way to confirm the quality of it when buying online, but I know the location in Downers Grove on Ogden has a lot that are basically like-new. I bought one a few weeks ago that didn't have any kind of blemishes on the controller and the rubberized grips on the analog were still perfect. I saw in the most recent ad that they even have the black controllers now. It's a pretty awesome deal. Also, while they don't have PS3 controllers, they do have $20 Wiimotes and $10 Nunchuks.

I was actually looking for this kind of thing recently. You're officially useful for today. My dog ate the handle of one of my controllers for 360...it still works but now it has a real nice grip on the right side that digs into my hand. It's actually an improvement. Thanks, Sandy!

NCAA Football 10 broke one of mine...when it caused me to throw it across the room. Thankfully, $20 is an awesomely awesome price. Now I just need to find a place to buy a really cheap battery pack for it.

If you ever come across NBA 2k10 for a low low price (under 30 dollars), I'd be much obliged.
In case there are any other PC gamers here, Steam is offering some ridiculous sales right now (http://store.steampowered.com/), including GTA IV for only $7.50.

Gonna check some of these out when I get home - not sure my laptop will be able to run these games but it can run Civ 4. So hopefully I'm able to play a few of them.
There are plenty of cheap used games at GameFly (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/?f=1764) right now. Some of them are pretty decent.

I would think $40 is the best price you're going to see for a new copy for another few months, but if there's anything else you're looking for, Toys R Us has their Buy 1, Get 1 Half Off on all video games starting tomorrow, I believe.

I followed a couple auctions on ebay and saw a bunch of new copies going for around 30 bucks. I would definitely take a used copy, though.

It's $39 on Amazon right now, too. (http://www.amazon.com/NBA-2K10-Xbox-360/dp/B002C7TFJQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1262100638&sr=1-1) There's no tax when you order through there, and you can get free shipping, so you'd really be paying about $4 or $5 more than if you bought it for $30 somewhere else.
On another note, it's pretty awesome that Amazon tends to match the sale prices of almost any retail chain that has a game on sale (specifically Best Buy, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart and Target).

I've heard great things about this game, but I'm still not 100% sure what it is. I think it's like those old 2D brawlers from the 16-bit days (Streets of Rage, Fatal Fury, etc.), but maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know those game so... It's a side scroller where you can do coop of up to 4 people. Slash people to death. Win the game. At $7, it's a good deal.

I guess because it's such a huge game world people go nuts. Eh, just doesn't look interesting. I'd rather get around to finally checking out Borderlands on the PC or just wait for Dante's Inferno. Unfortunately I suckered myself into buying Darksiders to satisfy the urge to play Dante's Inferno. There's really nothing wrong with the game just like every review said. It copies elements from other great games really well. For some reason it's just not a great game. If that game would have been $40 it would have been fine but no way in hell is it ever worth $60.

I just couldn't get past some of the terrible animations/models and overall inconsistency with the graphics/design. Granted, I really didn't like Oblivion either, so I guess I wouldn't like this too much. I enjoy open world games, but couldn't get into Fallout.
One game I've heard amazing things about is Demon's Souls. It was up for a lot of Game of the Year awards, and I had never heard about it until weeks after it came out. Apparently it's incredibly difficult, but really fun and rewarding to go through.

I guess because it's such a huge game world people go nuts. Eh, just doesn't look interesting. I'd rather get around to finally checking out Borderlands on the PC or just wait for Dante's Inferno. Unfortunately I suckered myself into buying Darksiders to satisfy the urge to play Dante's Inferno. There's really nothing wrong with the game just like every review said. It copies elements from other great games really well. For some reason it's just not a great game. If that game would have been $40 it would have been fine but no way in hell is it ever worth $60.
Borderlands is awesome. I've been wanting to buy the DLC and jump back in, but the guys I played most of the campaign with haven't played it in a while, either.

I spent a good chunk of last night stalking the cliffs of Anchorage taking out Chinese communists with a sniper rifle. Overrated my ass. It was fucking awesome.

I've been told Borderlands is the Disney version of Fallout. It's Fallout for pussies. So it makes sense you'd prefer it.

I couldn't stand Oblivion either. Sure it's a deep game, but it just moves slow. If I'm playing anything first person, it has to move smoother and quicker than that. I also refuse to play FPS on consoles, can't stand 'em.
I've got MW2 on the PC but it's just not my type of shooter. Give me BF2 anyday over it.

Yeah, I don't care how cheap Fallout 3 is, I'm still not buying it.
I bought it on the PC right around when it came out, played until you get out of the vault, and never touched it again. I really don't understand all the praise it got.

All you stonehearted fuckers acting as if you don't cry every time "Angels In The Outfield" comes on.

I guess because it's such a huge game world people go nuts. Eh, just doesn't look interesting. I'd rather get around to finally checking out Borderlands on the PC or just wait for Dante's Inferno. Unfortunately I suckered myself into buying Darksiders to satisfy the urge to play Dante's Inferno. There's really nothing wrong with the game just like every review said. It copies elements from other great games really well. For some reason it's just not a great game. If that game would have been $40 it would have been fine but no way in hell is it ever worth $60.
Borderlands is awesome. I've been wanting to buy the DLC and jump back in, but the guys I played most of the campaign with haven't played it in a while, either.

I spent a good chunk of last night stalking the cliffs of Anchorage taking out Chinese communists with a sniper rifle. Overrated my ass. It was fucking awesome.
I just couldn't get past some of the terrible animations/models and overall inconsistency with the graphics/design. Granted, I really didn't like Oblivion either, so I guess I wouldn't like this too much. I enjoy open world games, but couldn't get into Fallout.
One game I've heard amazing things about is Demon's Souls. It was up for a lot of Game of the Year awards, and I had never heard about it until weeks after it came out. Apparently it's incredibly difficult, but really fun and rewarding to go through.
You're almost as bad at reviewing video games as Joseph Gordon-Levitt is at acting.
I'm glad I'm not that only one that thinks this guy is a clown.
I always thought he was a really awesome actor. He just needs to play an overblown douche.
Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71FKCo_064U) why Fallout 3 is awesome. Some guy destroying everything with an iron fist.

I just got a new gaming PC yesterday. Athlon quad core @ 2.88 ghz, 6 gigs of ram, 1 ter hd, and I threw in a GT 240 1 gig card. It's running everything I've installed fully cranked with all the AA turned up (COD MW2 cranked no problem, probably the most demanding game I've got installed.) Trying to think of something really taxing to install.
I never really got into the red faction games. Some friends and I just got into Borderlands, pretty fun but still feels a little console-ish.

Borderlands is fantastic. You should try out Red Faction on that machine. I'm running mostly max settings, but only 4x AA, and it's having a hard time maintaining framerate when the physics really come into play ((ETA: I have no idea what I did here)which is almost awesome). I'd imagine the game looks incredible on a nicer machine.

I'll see if the future brother in law has a copy I can borrow. Not spending any more money on games right now since I bought this PC and have a backlog to catch up on.

Just traded in Assassin's Creed 1 & 2 and Modern Warfare 2 for $72 total. MW2 is worth $40 alone right now with Gamestop's 50% extra on trade-ins, and then an additional 10% if you have the Edge card. Paid for The Show and part of Final Fantasy XIII. Good stuff.
I actually did the same thing today. I traded in Heavy Rain (which was amazing) and returned MAG. All that paid off MLB and my FF preorder. Plus I have 7.37 in store credit

Maybe it's an extra $10 surcharge to play it on a console that doesn't break down every 9 months?

Less linear than a Call of Duty, but you're definitely going from point A to point B. I'd say you can get through it in 10-12 hours, depending on how long it takes you to stare in awe at the scenery. It's a great game, which you can tell from how much Weebs hates it. The story and environment are totally worth the playthrough. I know you mentioned you get creeped out by games (I'm the same way). Be warned it's probably creepier than Fallout 3. But nowhere near as creepy as Dead Space (which I still haven't finished).

The story/setting are absolutely incredible, and it can be a creepy game...which is why they absolutely ruined everything by making it play faster than Halo. It should have been a MUCH slower game. I know Rapture is supposed to be a flawed society, but who was the genius that thought giving people the ability to shoot fire, ice and lightning out of their hands in a city at the bottom of the ocean, made of glass was a good idea? Just give me a pistol, a knife, and let me get scared shitless by some mutated freaks running around a city ruled by Ayn Rand.
Dead Space, on the other hand, was creepy as fuck. If there was ever a game that required surround sound, that was it.

Depends. Do you normally rent games? If you rent, then rent it- beat it and you'll never need to play it again. It's a fine game, and probably worth $25 if you can sell it again, since you won't need to play it more than once.

Bioshock 2 is $39.98 at Amazon, plus a $10 credit (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&ref_=xs_gb_AI3LQFH46XYGB&docId=1000208101). PS3 and 360.
TPD. Now $24.99 at Gamestop.com (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?Product_ID=73955%28GameStopBase%29&affID=77777&sourceID=59JLB7sBj1c-1eIs6nAhU_bTxqYM851chg), but only for the 360.
Worth it?
Depends. Do you normally rent games? If you rent, then rent it- beat it and you'll never need to play it again. It's a fine game, and probably worth $25 if you can sell it again, since you won't need to play it more than once.
Well I downloaded Bioshock the First from the marketplace for 20 bucks. Just getting into it but it's pretty fun so far - definitely holding my interest.

Good call. It would be great for a rental or a Goozex-ing. That's exactly how I feel about the Assassin's Creed games.

I do rent - I have a Gamefly subscription. Despite the fact that you never get games in the order you have theme Que'd up it's worth it for those games that you want to beat and then never play again. I currently have Dragon's Age and it's ok but I'm not remotely compelled to play it. I'm going to send it back.

I really wish I liked Dragon Age more than I did. I should try to give it another shot.
Out of curiosity, how quick is GameFly on turning around games? I gave it two separate chances a couple of years apart and ended up canceling my subscription both times because it would take over a week from the time I sent back a game until the time I received a new game. And, like you said, unless you only have one game in your queue, it seems like they NEVER give you what's at the top.
Lego Rock Band is at Amazon for $19.99 (http://www.amazon.com/Lego-Rock-Band-Xbox-360/dp/B001TOMR5C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1274806866&sr=8-2). It's a completely pointless concept, but it's like getting a decent, big track pack (which is importable to the other games) for $20. I feel like the DLC for Rock Band has been terrible lately, so it might be worth a look. Plus, you get a $5 MP3 credit.
I got Lego RB for Xmas and the game itself was a blast. Having a bunch more songs added to RB2 is a plus as well. $20 is a steal for that game.
Gamestop has their bonus 50% on trade-ins (60% w/EDGE card) for at least this weekend, and I think through next week. I just traded in Final Fantasy XIII and Zelda: Spirit Tracks to get a used copy of Alan Wake for $5. If you have a bunch of games to trade in, now is the time to do it.

Sorry I didn't get here but I didn't see this deal until 1 am last night. Amazon was selling God of War III for 36 dollars. Bought it.
Also, MLB 2k10 is 39.99.
Is that game really bad? The people playing it don't seem all that murderous this year.

I heard it's not a total disaster this year. Meaning next year might actually be good.

Splinter Cell: Conviction used for $14.99 (http://www.gamefly.com/store/game/xbox-360/Tom-Clancy's-Splinter-Cell-Conviction/126595/). GameFly's used games are always in really good condition, even though their rental service is awful.

I'm beginning to use it just for their cheap ass used games. I never, ever get the game I want and that basically defeats the fucking point.

Yeah, I tried it on two separate occasions and their queue is basically worthless. Just so you know, you can still buy their used games even if you don't have subscription. You just don't have the "keep it" option anymore.

That was my question...glad to know I don't have to subscribe.
If anyone is interested in trying out GameFly, Tippr has a deal for two months for $20 (https://tippr.com/offer/gamefly/?utm_source=Tippr&utm_campaign=9c19d34769-Tippr11152010&utm_medium=email). Even if you only get four rentals in that time (which you probably will), it's a pretty good deal.
For those of you who were interested in Red Dead Nightmare but got rid of your copies of RDR, it looks like you can get Nightmare standalone for $20 (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Red+Dead+Redemption%3A+Undead+Nightmare+-+Xbox+360/1508787.p?id=1218265330020&skuId=1508787&st=red%20dead).
If you have any desire to try Major League Baseball 2K10 (which I hear was greatly improved), it's $10 used at GameFly (http://www.gamefly.com/game/xbox-360/Major-League-Baseball-2K10/140665/).
So, if I get a PS3 bundle right now, it comes with Killzone 3 which the Murton's can't play yet. Anyone want to buy it? I think it goes for $55 new.

I wasn't saying that $55 is what I'd sell it for. I was just listing that as a reference. I guess $30 would be about right, no?

I don't play video games, so I can't effectively answer this question.
I'm still confused if Chuck is just buying this system for the sole intent of selling the game, considering he hasn't even made the purchase yet.
