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

Hoos First said:Best B uy is having a buy 2 games get 1 free deal now. Just bought Madden, Fallout 3 GOTY, and Borderlands for $125.83. Still not sure about Borderlands yet. May return it next week and get Dragon Age Origins.
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.Hoos First said:Best Buy is having a buy 2 games get 1 free deal now.

In Dragon Ages defense. The awesomeness of Borderlands equates to the fps as the awesomeness of Dragon Age does to rpgs.Hoos First said:Best B uy is having a buy 2 games get 1 free deal now.

Thanks for the link. I was gonna wait until Black Friday to try to find a good deal on the GOTY edition.I'm thinking of picking something up for the PS3 to play while on the trainer. I gather Fallout 3 is a decent pick?

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.The ps3 version is $20 on Amazon. It's not the game of the year edition but I don't know if that matters.
I believe it runs all week. Still working online as of now.http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?ty...cat194700050021I 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

BB specifically says no on preorders for this.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 SoulsHmmm...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.But there are 3 other games I want...which to not pick up?-Uncharted 2- Dragon Age: Origins- Demon's Souls
I don't think it counts towards unreleased games.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 SoulsHmmm...yes I know DAO isn't out yet, but I assume I could still preorder w/ this deal, no?
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.

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.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.

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.
"The hassle?" Just write "Return to Sender" when the package gets to your house.Buckna said:Dang, I wish I had seen that Best Buy deal yesterday - just ordered Borderlands & Fallout 3 GOTY from amazon. Now I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle to return those to amazon and order off of Best Buy.
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.any good games under 20$?
I bought Bioshock for $19.99 about a month ago. Tax put it over $20 though.any good games under 20$?
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.I'm currently playing Demon's Souls. So far, this game is absolutely awesome. If you haven't seen a review yet, it's basically Dungeons and Dragons on the PS3. It's also very old-school in the sense that there's no in-game pause and no checkpoints. If you die in a particular level, you go all the way back to the start of that level. And just about every enemy you encounter is quite capable of killing you if you're careless. I haven't played a game like this since when I had my Sega Genesis. It's not as difficult as many of the reviews have made it out to be, but it is definitely unforgiving and it never holds your hand. I have Uncharted 2 coming from Amazon next week, and I'm really wishing these two games had been spaced out more because I hate having to take time away from either.
If you have a PS3, you should really do some research on this game and at least give it a rental to see if its for you.
Bioshock is the game that immediately springs to mind. I think you can get Dead Space at about this price point too.I bought Bioshock for $19.99 about a month ago. Tax put it over $20 though.any good games under 20$?
Torchlight is a ARPG for the PC that costs $20 or try the 2-hour free trial. You can download here:http://www.torchlightgame.com/downloadany good games under 20$?
You can buy a videocard for less than $100 that will play any game out right now and probably for a year or two. There is no real price limitation in terms of being able to play the games on a PC. If you think $600 for a videocard is too expensive then buy a cheaper card.
Do you complain about the cost of driving because Ferrari's are too expensive?
I mean the GPU in the xbox360 is some relic from 2005 that at best might be equivalent to a cut down version of a Radeon 2900. Spend $25 on a used videocard on eBay and then run it at 1280x720 on your TV and you too can have the console experience without breaking the bank.
Not even.this is a great quote:

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'm usually a couple of months behind the latest/greatest, but if you look to unload the first 4 listed, down the road, plz hit me up!Out with the old, in with the new. Current games:BorderlandsUncharted 2Demon's SoulsBatman: Arkham AssylumWii Sports ResortAlso have some RPG's for the DS that I've been making my way though, currently playing Final Fantasy III on that with Final Fantasy IV, Chrono Trigger, and The World Ends With You on deck.
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.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.
