traded in tiger woods, mlb the show and mario galaxy 2 and got $85 in trade

I only paid $30 for mario and $35 for TW. Which leaves $20 for the show meaning i essentially paid $40 for the show and got about 75 hours out of it. Seems like great value to me.

picked up portal 2 and preordered LA Noire. I would never have bought portal 2 except my daughter asked for it for her straight A gift.

Which version did you get?

i got portal 2 on 360 cause we got the kids their own 360. I got LA Noire on 360 also. im hoping its not to off of the ps3 version since its a port

Well, have fun swapping those discs old man. Make sure you keep your Hover 'Round fully charged while playing that game.:lulz:

I found a 1600 MS points card in my stuff.

I can't decide what to use it on between Borderlands, Bioshock 2, Darksiders, or Beyond Good & Evil + another arcade game.

if you havent played borderlands i would definitely go with that . even if you dont have anyone to play co-op with its still a very fun game.

disc swaping doesnt bother me. i know it doesnt bother you either since it gives you another excuse to complain

Can't go wrong with either Borderlands or Bioshock 2. I think that Borderlands will probably have more time in game, as well as replay value for you.

i heard to many bad things about bioshock 2. i thought borderlands was well worth buying. i got excellent value out of that game. i never once played it as coop and it was loads of fun

[Twigg4075]

All are great games but why buy a game off the marketplace that you can probably find else disc cheaper? Spend it on BG&E and something else.

Ok, well I'll let you know how awesome the ps3 version is Tuesday night after I've been playing it for 12 straight hours with better graphics (probably but not confirmed) and extra content without ever having to get off the couch once.

And before you ask, I drink a gallon of water a day so I can hold my piss that long. And I will have food at the ready.;)

Bioshock 2 is tits. But you can get it for less then $10 at gamestop, so you'd probaly get ripped off with games on demand.

Yeah, most of the GOD are rip offs.

enjoy your better detailing in building you wont bother going up to and study perversely like you would need to discern the difference between that and another version lol

I still dont see why you are so stuck on disc swapping being such a chore that you bring it up all the time (even if it is just to annoy maynard). The extra content is more than enough even though its liken to time-exclusive free content imo and will end up on the xbl marketplace sometime down the road. Also just remembered psn store still being down means no redeeming codes :/

Agreed. I can't imagine it's going to look that much better if at all. And as I've said many times, I don't think disc swapping is a "chore", but given the choice, who in their right mind would opt to go that route? I can't see how anyone wuth both consoles would want to go 360 with so many things favoring the ps3 version.
But to each his own.
