I'm thinking of picking something up for the PS3 to play while on the trainer. I gather Fallout 3 is a decent pick?
Looks like I can pick it up for $43 shipped from here. Great price, comparing to Amazon and other places.
BTW, is there an official Fallout 3 thread? I can't find it (and yes, I searched reasonably well).

The ps3 version is $20 on Amazon. It's not the game of the year edition but I don't know if that matters.

There is a substantial price difference between the regular game and GOTY version. GOTY on Amazon is $57.Over the winter I will be spending ~6hrs/week in my basement on the trainer. I want something to hold my attention through the torture.

I took my receipts to the store and they gave me $60 back from my Borderlands, Uncharted 2, Demon's Souls purchases. Plus they gave me a free 19.99 title because I had bought Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus. Best Buy rocks.

In Dragon Ages defense. The awesomeness of Borderlands equates to the fps as the awesomeness of Dragon Age does to rpgs.Hoos First said:

Thanks for the link. I was gonna wait until Black Friday to try to find a good deal on the GOTY edition.

Mad I didn't know about the Best Buy deal. I also want Dragon Age.
Missed out on a free $60.
Unless I can buy it at BB, and return it to EB with my receipt.

depends on what you are looking for. If you want all of the DLC content (including the important level 30 upgrade), you need the GOTY edition.

I assume that Best Buy sale isn't going on any more?
If it isn't, anyone else have anything similar? I have rented Borderlands and love it, so I'm going to buy it today, but if I can get a 3 for 2 deal, I'll do it.
TIA

Well, shoot...now I have a conundrum:
I'm definitely getting Borderlands.
But there are 3 other games I want...which to not pick up?
-Uncharted 2
- Dragon Age: Origins
- Demon's Souls
Hmmm...yes I know DAO isn't out yet, but I assume I could still preorder w/ this deal, no?

I don't know anything about Dragon's Age, so I can't speak to that. The other two are both excellent but they're also poles apart. Uncharted is a light, breezy title with an entertaining story, fun and intuitive gameplay, and a short learning curve. It's pretty easy even on Hard, you're seemingly never more than 30 seconds away from a checkpoint, and while it's fun enough to have replay value, it's not especially deep. By contrast, Demon's Souls isn't really story-driven, it's combat system takes a while to master, and a single moment of carelessness will frequently result in you lying face-down in a pool of your own blood. There are no checkpoints, the game gets harder the more often you die, and there's not even a "pause" feature. The RPG elements make it much richer than Uncharted. These games are basically opppsites except that they're both awesome in their own way.

Here is a little off beat title I have been eying. I don't know much about it but the theme "French Sabotuer undermining the WWII Nazi's" interests me and it looks like it could be cool.

Awww man, that's a total fail.I really was thinking of just renting Uncharted 2 down the road and going w/ the other 3. Dammit...now what...hmmmm.

What I was told by the manager is there is a 30 day return policy on unopened games. I asked even on this free deal and he said yes. So get those 3 games then return Uncharted 2 next week for Dragon Age. Then rent Uncharted 2 later on. I would ask the manager just to make sure. Each BB could be different.

Just got Borderlands and 2 other games I don't want, since they were out of Demon's Souls and Dragon Age doesn't come out til the 3rd...just gonna return the other two when DAO comes out.good call here. Will try to do this later today. Thanks.
Yeah, Demon's Souls is hard to come by. It's on back order even on their online site. There are more shipments to the US planned now, but they didn't figure it would sell as well as it has. Might have to find out when they plan on getting more Demon's Souls in and get it before it runs out again.Just got Borderlands and 2 other games I don't want, since they were out of Demon's Souls and Dragon Age doesn't come out til the 3rd...just gonna return the other two when DAO comes out.

Fallout 3 GOTY just arrived. :giggity:

Bioshock, Orange Box (assuming you don't have a PC to play this on Steam), Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Gear of War 1, Forza 2... just off the top of my head.

I bought Bioshock for $19.99 about a month ago. Tax put it over $20 though.

Finally finshed this today, and immediately started a second playthrough. Additional playthroughs aren't supposed to take all that long in this game because by now you should be familiar with all the levels and know how to beat each boss. The difficulty level gets racheted way up on your second playthrough, though. Even scrub enemies hit much harder than they did the first time around. Not much margin for error.

Bioshock is the game that immediately springs to mind. I think you can get Dead Space at about this price point too.

As for games I'm looking forward to...."Heavy Rain".
It's a PS3 only game that is more movie-ish than action game-ish. But the story has seriously, SERIOUSLY piqued my interest.

Torchlight is a ARPG for the PC that costs $20 or try the 2-hour free trial. You can download here:http://www.torchlightgame.com/download
What you do is install the game. Then there is an option to either play your 2-hour free trial or enter a code that you received from purchasing the game.

Not even.My copy of Pinball Hall Of Fame: The Williams Collection arrived yesterday. Already had the Wii version of this game, but this version features HD graphics, online leaderboards, and several new tables.
Personally, I love this game. Of course, they could package up Funhouse pinball and charge $60 for it and I'd probably buy it. They really did a spectacular job of recreating these tables - the physics on them are pretty much identical to what they were on the originals.

Going to be looking to get rid of Arkham Assylum and Demon's Souls soon here if anyone is interested. I know you picked up Demon's Souls eddie, but if anyone else wants it I'm not going to have a chance to play this one for a while.Still haven't even had a chance to really play Uncharted 2 all that much. But it's short so I'll find some time sooner or later. Borderlands has been moved. Goozex was giving out 200 point bonuses for trading new crap so I ended up moving that one there for some good value.In the middle of Dragon Age: Origins right now, also got Pinball Hall of Fame for PS3 which is awesome. Uncharted 2 still looking to get some time, God Of War Collection coming, and when I get to play the new Xbox after Xmas I'll have MW2, Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and possible L4D2 on that end. Not to mention the spring release schedule looks insane.

I'll update. I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 and NCAA Basketball 10 a lot lately on XBox 360. I've been dabbling in some Fallout 3, Trine and FoFiX (Frets on Fire mod) for PC.
I'll be picking up Bioshock 2 in February (360), Splinter Cell: Conviction in April (360) and possibly Battlefield Bad Company 2 sometime after it releases (PC). My plans are yet to be determined past that and also dependant on any beta jobs I'm offered.

Just saw a Bioshock 2 commercial. It looked....absolutely terrible.
And this coming from someone who recently beat (and enjoyed) Bioshock within the last month.

I'm slowly reaching the point of exhaustion with MW2, although I do still have some spec-op missions still to beat.
I've started playing the Fallout 3 GOTY version. I'd already beat the regular game but I'm working my way through the DLC now.
Tiger 10 and Forza 3 are never too far away as they can be played quickly and without and need to commit for a long session.
But I'm really looking forward to Mass Effect 2 coming out next week. Bioshock 2 is also on pre-order but it's just going to have to wait it's turn.

I'm extremely skeptical about Bioshock 2. It was a great game, but it doesn't need a sequel. I'll have to wait for reviews on this one.
