This game is for the original Xbox and is completely different from the 360 version, and it is backwards compatible on the 360.

Here is the Gamespot review:

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/splintercell4/index.html?tag=result;title;5

I have never purchased anything from VDOwarehouse so I don't know their reputation.

EDIT: price increased from $5.99 to $8.99

Back in Stock as of 7/7

They have quite a few older XBox titles that are 4.99 and up, all new and sealed. Here is a list of just a few I could remember.

4.99
(OOS)Pariah

6.99
(OOS) Serious Sam2
Chronicles of Riddick
Phantom Dust
Cold War
Razes Hell
(OOS) Nightmare Before Xmas

8.99
(OOS) Still Life
True Crime NYC Collector Edition

it is BC.

[eaglebeak]

Maybe it's just not on the latest BC list yet.

Just placed an order for this and three other games. Shipping was $6.20, via expedited mail (priority mail, I'd guess), with no tax calculated.

IS DA better on the 360 or Org. Xbox? I've been eying the 360 version, but if it's BC and this cheap...

[Scorch]

it is BC.

if it is, it's not on the list

[backwards_compatible]

if it is, it's not on the list

I guess you guys are looking under "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Double Agent"? It is on that page, it's just titled "Splinter Cell: Double Agent".

[Master Shake]

Um, it is on the list.

According to the IGN and Gamespot reviews, they play differently, but both are rated very highly. I haven't played it yet so I can't tell you which I prefer. You will have to come to your own conclusion. Here are both reviews:

[thakingrocka]

it is most assuredly on the list.
Splinter Cell: Double Agent

it is also reportedly far superior to the 360 version.

[ChaoticClimax]

list list list

[Scorch]

Gotcha. I was looking under "Tom Clancy", like the other Splinter Cell games are listed.

[eaglebeak]

Um, it is on the list.

Your right.......Sorry......I guess I need glasses!...:oops:

[Monsta Mack]

Is this new or used?
Good deal if new, used I can get for the same around ebay lately.

New......there is no mention anywhere on the site that they sell used games. The USD by each item, I believe, is meant to signify U.S.Dollars for payment.

[Monsta Mack]

okey dokey

[VidgamesgivemeA_D_D]

Was just about to bite but it says $8.99 now....:cry:

[Alien Spider]

I've wanted the Xbox version for awhile now, but I've never ordered from this site before. Since it goes through Paypal I feel a little more comfortable about it now though.

Ordered, thanks eaglebeak!

EDIT\ Yeah it does say $8.99 now! I guess I made my order just before the price increased.

[VidgamesgivemeA_D_D]

I always have bad luck like that.

Oh well, I'll pass. I can't pay my rent if I pay the difference!

[jrt1138]

Just ordered one. Thanks eaglebeak. Now I can quit waiting for Best Buy to drop it. I was hoping to get it for 19.99, so 12.27 shipped is still a pretty good deal to me.

[test24]

I bought this from Half.com from their Ebay/Half.com username (I didn't know they had an actual website). I got the game about a week later and it was new. It was sent to me in a padded envelope and even had an invoice.

I have the 360 version also, but never got far into it. They are completely different from the beginning at least. I like the Xbox version better.

[koreamanloves24]

Thanks for the link. I ordered it yesturday

[Alien Spider]

I received shipment confirmation today. Now all I have to do is wait.

[shrike4242]

I received shipment confirmation today. Now all I have to do is wait.Mine was at "Picking" up until today, and now it's at "Ready". :-s

I guess they should ship today.

[z3razerviper]

In for one thank you very much

[jrutz]

I just bought this from VDOwarehouse through Amazon about a month ago - it was $15 and change then but $3.49 shipping. Game came brand new, no complaints.

[Alien Spider]

Mine came in today! Brand new, factory sealed. A hell of a deal @ <$10. :D

Thanks again OP!

[eaglebeak]

Splinter Cell: Double Agent Back in stock again for those who missed it the first time.

[shrike4242]

The four games I picked up, SC: DA, Gun (360), Still Life and Painkiller: Hell Wars showed up Tuesday in the mail. All were new & sealed and packaged well. I'll order from them again for decently priced stuff, as some of their "normal" prices where a little out of whack.

I agree, some of their "normal" prices are pretty bizarre, but there are a few good deals for the older systems. Got my order a few days ago as well. No complaints. New and sealed and packaged well. I'd order again from them too.

:D

[ManChowder]

I grabbed a copy, thanks OP!

[sirplue]

i went ahead and ordered myself a copy of:

Splinter Cell: DA
Thief: DS

hopefully they come though. Many thanks, OP! :)

[eaglebeak]

I forgot to mention that unless you live in New York there is no tax.:D

[Masterkyo]

Finally, I pickup SC: DA (XBOX) $9, Aeon Flux (XBOX) $7, The Godfather the Game - (XBOX) $8, and Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (XBOX) $9 ... under $40 shipped is steal deal. I'll sell SC: DA and The Godfather to my buddy for $25. I loves painkiller on PC version is kickass but somehow XBOX version is unforgiven.

If you don't advocate fraud, why're you posting about how to do it? Fucking hypocritical asshole. Sure, you don't advocate it. :roll:

Not only posted, but stated he did it.

Why isn't shit like that an automatic perma-ban? Anyhow, off to visit the site now, I must've missed this thread back when it started.

Back on-topic, there's some interesting games on there for cheap prices, though their "normal" prices on some items are completely out of whack.

[sirplue]

jeez.

[shrike4242]

jeez.You're the one comitting fraud, not me. If you're that hard up for $30, go find a job and earn the money, don't defraud a company by returning something you didn't buy there.

[Masterkyo]

defraud a company is very very BAD. Sadly, I done it once a year & still felt guilty about it.

[Rhett]

I was about to order DA but my brother spoke up after reading several reviews, saying the site was unreliable, and some people didn't recieve packages for up to a month or two, and recieved poor customer support...any positive notes from CAGs?

[jd302426]

Ordered it a week ago and got it already.

[shrike4242]

I didn't have an issue with my order.

[Masterkyo]

$uck I ordered 4 games... 1 game is OOS & canceled. They shipped out 2 games & they charged me 3 games. They told me all shipment is weight & scale it b4 they ship the items out. My package is 3 games weight but i only see 2 games when i opened it.... Oh well, i'll send them a letter again tomorrow.

[airdino23]

I ordered two copies for system link play.
I got them with no problems.

It was even faster than I thought it would be.
I will admit, I was sceptical.

[TehTriggerman]

Great game! Still looks fantastic on original XBOX and 360. Ive been playing both this weekend cause the 360 one froze twice on me mid mission!!!:bomb:

[Z-Saber]

Crap, it was available earlier this morning and now it isn't. Poop.

[Alien Spider]

Yeah, I never had a problem with my order either.

[kimitake]

I ordered from them after reading about the deal on this forum almost two months ago. I haven’t gotten a thing. I sent several e-mails to them about it and got prompt replies. They even told me they would reship the game and apologized for the delay. But apparently no action was ever taken since I never received anything. About two weeks ago I asked for my money back and they sent me absolutely no reply.

The Splinter Cell deal seemed too good to be true but I took the chance and got screwed. I strongly recommend that anyone thinking about ordering from VDOwarehouse reconsider.

[krazyazn01]

I've actually made two orders so far to them. Why? My cousin came by to visit and liked the game so I gave him mine, and had to order a 2nd one.

The game came real quick the first time, but slowed down a bit on the 2nd order. I dunno why because it only took a day or two before they shipped it out...just took longer the second time to get to my house.

I ordered the first copy on a Wednesday and got it the following Monday. I ordered the 2nd copy on Tuesday and got it the following Friday (after a weekend).

I don't fully endorse them...getting Double Agent for this cheap is awesome.
