Need for Speed Shift $40 (all versions) at Best Buy starting the 27th.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I'm really thinking about getting NFS:S but I have Forza3 pre-ordered and I'm not really a huge, huge racing game fan as it is...but 40$ is a great price for a game that new.

Just thought I'd pass along that the 360 deal doesn't end with just a rebate. Toys r us and microcenter are offering additional deals. Microcenter is offering an additional $50 gift card, in store only.

As another option, if you have a brick and mortar microcenter in your city, Best Buy may pricematch. The results on that are mixed. Seems to depend on the BB store. Some have given a BB gift card, some have just taken $50 off, and some won't do it.

How would that work? The version you buy from GS is on disc. Any disc that you install on the HDD still needs to be spinning in the machine when you want to play the content. Just for this very reason.

The only thing you can do with the disc is install the content on the hard drive, its the equivalent to downloading it. Just pop in Oblivion and it loads it, you never need the Shivering Isles disc again.

I already did it once from borrowing it from my friend, but it was on my old HDD

Oh, ok. I guess with certain DLC type discs that would work.

For instance, when Forza 3 hits you have to install the second disc with all the extra content but you play it using the 1st disc.

I just read the IGN review for this game, 3.5/10. Yikes! This game is releasing with zero fanfare or hype. I remember years ago when it was first announced everyone was drooling over it.

Whats the gameplay, just taking snapshots? If so i can see why its so poorly rated

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Gonna get Brutal Legend, Uncharted 2, and OpFlash2 with the TRU deal...

Had the "Hype Machine" (tm) brought up the idea that the game was similar to Pokemon Snap, they might have gotten more sales...

Of course you can't pursuade a gamer fanbase that just wants to shoot and kill things to buy your game if you don't allow them to do so.

Game's probably rental worthy though.

mens warehouse is having a buy one get one for 100 bucks deal, but their prices are easily beat on amazon... but I guess thats not what this thread was for

 

[Sharkweather]

^^ Lulz?

I wish that TRU deal was about a month later so I could get MW2, NCAAB 10, and some other game.

Darnit.

Just don't open whatever game you want to exchange. I do that every year. Get a random game with the deal and then exchange it for something you want. I think TRU's policy is 45 days for exchanges.

As long as the random game is not marked as the Free one (0.00)

 

[Sharkweather]

So buy like NBA 2K10, Brutal Legend and get Uncharted 2 for free.

Then in a month return NBA and Brutal Legend and get MW2 and NCAAB 10.

That might work.

Might not, you should check whether the game you get for free is rung up at $0.00.

If it is, you can't return it for another game.
