Harry Potter

Anyone pick this up today? Curious as to how the controls work.

I had a chance to try it out for a few minutes at Gamestop and the controls for Repulso and Accio worked pretty well in the first few minutes.

I'm already thinking of doing the buy it now when I get it from Gamefly, or else trading two CC clearance games to get it for a bit less.

1up of all people has named it the definitive version as EA intended it to be.

I *may* actually use the EB deal on this (if I can trade Avatar and MtR). That, combined with the movie coupon in the game makes it barely worth it, great game or not ;). I'm still thinking about it. I just know this will be $20 in a few months :roll:.

I'm in the same boat as you io.

The free movie ticket and getting the game for $34 is very tempting.

Where can you get it for $34?

Buy Meet The Robinsons and Avatar at CC (for $17 each) and trade them in to EB using their trade 2 get a new Wii game free deal... YMMV as those two could go on the exclusion list at EB/GS at any moment (they seem to be working as of today, the 27th, though). Even WITH that deal I'm not sure, but I may just do it tonight as I want to get rid of those two games.

Meh, it's not shaping up to be all that great:

73 average on 4 reviews... It looks like a definite purchase down the line (when I can get it for $20 worth of trade-in credit). I'm just not sure I want to spend $50 on it, even if it is from the EB deal (I can use those 2 games for something else instead).
