Just Cause 2 for 5?

If only my Leapster ran more than 2-D games and Microsoft Office '97.

I dropped $32 on Alpha Protocol and [PROTOTYPE] today at GameStop...

Almost all of the time, that Power-Up Card I got doesn't mean shit.

Yeah, I saw that. Most of the games are trash though. And the few that aren't it seems they jacked up the price on them. Not surprising.

And you call me dumb. You got ripped off son.:laugh:

I've got two Gamestops, a Blockbuster, a used games shop, Wal-Mart, Target and K-Mart to pick and choose from.

I'm not paying for a fucked up disc so Blockbuster and the used games shop are out.

Wal-Mart, while great in that they lowball other stores by a few cents if a newer title takes a price drop, isn't going to have the games I want to play at the time.

K-Mart had copies of Alpha Protocol and [PROTOTYPE] in their $19.99 or Under Bin for 2 weeks but when I finally could pull the trigger to get them, the store pulled all their discounted games from it except Wii titles.

...I technically own a Wii but I have no games for it.

The actual Electronics Section of the store itself didn't have the either game and they weren't in the back.

So after putting up almost $5 in leftover game credit and getting a discount on [PROTOTYPE] since I wanted a new Alpha Protocol disc, I did decide to bite the bullet.

TL;DR - Twigg is right but it was that or wait a few days for an online delivery when I could have the games I wanted to play now.

Bought the Magicka pack for $8. It seems like a fun Diablo-esque game, so at that price I'll go for it

[krulmichael]

New Vegas for $9.99? Good enough for me.

[Sharkweather]

New Vegas is already down to $10, even during a sale? jesus

[Herm]

New Vegas is already down to $10, even during a sale? jesus

and it was a decent enough game. I bought it for $35 last year and thought i got a good deal on it. Why cant other games drop this low? Ive been looking around for resistance and bioshock which are 3-5 years old and many places who actually have them sell them for $20 still.

Well shit...trip to Best Buy today. New Vegas for $10? I'll bite.
