TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Well, Fable III finally arrived 9 weeks after I qualified for it. By letting my Gold lapse I got it for 20% off (£32 instead of £40) and got a free copy of Fable III. Pretty cool except when I took the offer I could trade Fable III for £25 now it's only worth £5 :/ Still, I actually want to play it so it's still cool, and free! It's the proper retail boxed version as well, so fine to trade in. Anyway, what's up with MS taking so long to fulfil their offers. I'm still waiting for my halo avatar thing I qualified for and that was all done in the marketplace so I don't see why that couldn't be instantaneous. edit: I forgot I got this too - only £7 new at ASDA. Bargain! Edited May 16, 2011 by TheFlyingGerbil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 They had the collector's edition I canceled at the store. So tempted to pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocking Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Just picked up my L.A Noire pre-order, sitting watching the glorious progress bar as I install the three disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I thought those negatives of the landmarks were a really cool touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hocking Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) I had to google what they were actually for, I didn't get it at all. Slightly disappointed it's a collection quest rather than some kind of gameplay based challenge. I'm not a fan of collecting stuff in games. Seriously considering buying a frame to put them in though, they're awesome little things. Edited May 20, 2011 by Hocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 (edited) Funny thing happened with that actually, I figured the badges were near landmarks (after I stumbled upon one in Union Station) and had wandered around Chinatown to no avail only to stop my car next to a street I hadn't bothered to check because it seemed 'uninteresting'...decided to open up and look at the negatives just in case and saw one with paper lamps hanging down above an alley exactly like the one I was next to. Got out the car and found the badge, no problem. Oh, and I just five-starred my first homicide case, finding all the clues at the same time (always missed one before). Although it all seemed a little too easy... Edited May 20, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4: Gritty Reboot Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just bought these for $2 each at a local thrift store. Someone had donated about 15 SNES titles. I skipped out on a bunch, including Donkey Kong Country 3 and a few other gems. Now if only I could acquire an SNES on the cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I've bought about three or four SNESes, non of which have worked so pretty much gave up on that. Same with NESes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted May 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 'Twas £15, felt it was a decent deal since the demo proved to be a popular attraction. Shame that it's covered in stickers :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few SNESes hanging around that I picked up for free. Someone had spilled a soda on one but that's nothing a little contact cleaner can't fix.

Battra92 Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 Thanks Target for the awesome sale. I bought this for the Wii-Mote only. I'll try out the game but I may end up giving it to my sisters. But for $20 I am uber-excited to now own: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Kirby's Epic Yarn is awesome. Its a beautiful game. I got Vanquish for 20 bucks at Target. Their clearance section was recently replenished with good stuff. They had the Sly Cooper Collection for 20 dollars too, but ive never played any of them, so I didnt get it. I kind of want to though. its 3 games. It would last me a while...if I like them. They also had Resistance 2 for 10 dollars. Ive never played a Resistance game in my life and Ive always wanted to. Maybe Ill go and get that. Cant be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ill go and get that. Cant be too bad. I got bored with the campaign very quickly (then again I only like certain FPSs) but I really enjoyed the co-op mode.

Kovach_ Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Got this few days ago. I know it sucks, but hey, it was free. Gonna give it a spin, they trade it for something. Damn, i missed the thread. Can someone move it? Edited May 26, 2011 by Kovach_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Buy one get one free sale at Blockbuster for games under 14.99. Personally to me its the second best film videogame behind Spider-man 2. I always liked the demo a lot and ive always heard mixed things, but its also been really hard to find for a reasonable price. Free works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes! Heavenly Sword! King Bohan and Kai are such lovely characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangelove Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Is Heavenly Sword as short as Enslaved? I loved Enslaved. If only the actual gameplay was deeper. I feel the same way about Heavenly Sword. The art styles, graphics, animations, sounds, voiceacting, story, its all there..............except the gameplay. its good gameplay just not what it could be. Its not up to the standards of everything else. I hope they do DMC right. They have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I dunno. I don't like the hack 'n' slash punt-em-ups, anyway. I just liked King Bohan and Kai enough for the rest of the game to mean nothing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantelope Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 Heavenly Sword is about 8-10 hours long. It's okay. I hated the boss fights though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMalice Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Just got the Dead Space 2 Limited Edition disk used for $35. Had already beaten it but it`s just one of those games that I felt compelled to own. Maybe not scary, but it was awesome. I also really want to get through that Hard Core Mode cuz that`s doubly awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 $5 minus my 10% off at Gamestop for used games. I can deal with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Pre-ordered inFamous 2. Got the special edition because it was only £5 more and I had that much in points to redeem so...why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) I normally don't sell or trade-in my games. Last time I did was God of War III after I had platinum'd it because I needed some cash, and I ended up eventually rebuying it. I never even unsealed the new copy... But yesterday I decided that my not owning and therefore being unable to play L.A. Noire could simply not go on anymore. So I went through my games and rounded up the few I was willing to part with. Most of them I never even finished or started, or will was never planning on playing again. Overall, it wasn't too bad a trade-off. The games I parted with were stuff like The Darkness, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and FFXII: Revenant Wings on DS. Oh and Guitar Hero 5, but without the guitar. I need that to play Rock Band Also a copy of Assassin's Creed II for 360, which is not even a system I own. Some idiot on Amazon sent it to me when I ordered the PS3 version last year and never asked for me to return it when he refunded me. The two biggest casualties sacrificed to the pawn shop deity were God of War: Chains of Olympus, which I'm confident will see a re-release as a HD Remaster, and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, which I can rebuy for 15 bucks on PSN anytime I want.
