I pray to the cheap ass gaming gods to give me the strength to not order this.
Thank you.

But its only 10 bucks! And you can get an additional 10% off if you are a gamespot complete member. You know you want it. It is staring you in the face saying "buy me, buy me"

ahh I must resist also, I spent too much money on games this month and I still plan on getting NFL 2k5.

It's easy to resist when it's a crap game like Rising Sun.

Let me help sway you if you're on the fence:
Add this to your cart:
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/117391.asp
And use the code "SAVER" for free shipping. Since the above item is some kind of strange pre-played pre-order that won't ship until 1/1/05, just cancel it later & save the 99¢.
Or, add this:
http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/204337.asp
and use "SAVER" for free shipping & "PPLAY15" for 15¢ off.

I actually was on the edge due to my recent purchases, but system link co-op sounded interesting. This is the second time I've had an item in my cart and it was gone before credit card info was put in. lol. I just hope EB limits the purchases to two an order again so I get a better chance. Still, 1 hour is not a bad time frame for CAG these days for a $9.99 game.

Remember the days when a $9.99 game would sell out in minutes, rather than a hour? I wonder how soon our collective CAG greed will recallibrate to pre-CC madness levels.
Sadly, despite the increased timeframe, I still missed this deal.

I rented this craptastic game, beat it in less than one day. Worst Medal of Honor game out. Rented it for 99 cents and still feel ripped off.

Its strange at EBgames.com how right before these games go on sale for 9.99, they are 29.99. I saw it with this game and counter strike. Has anyone else noticed this?
Han Solo
07-21-2004, 09:43 PM
The pattern is:
1 put game up at 29.99
2 drop to 9.99 for awhile
3 pull game from site
goto 1

$10 for a game that seems to be worse than Frontline (an average FPS at best in my opinion) is still a little too much for my taste. Now, if it was $5 on the other hand. . .

$10 for a game that seems to be worse than Frontline (an average FPS at best in my opinion). . .
Frontline actually scored pretty well (8-9 out of 10) with most professional reviewers. I understand that Rising Sun isn't as good, but you do get to experience Pearl Harbor and later attack Japan.
I also understand that this game sold reasonably well in Japan considering that the Japanese are the enemy in the game. For just $10 new, I'm sure you can probably play this game through to the end and later sell or trade it for just about what you paid.
Since EA is supporting Live now, some of the anger that many Xbox owners once felt toward the company has begun to fade.

Too bad they canned the MOH flight sim game... I mean, for some sick reason, I've always prayed for something like a Jane's/EA game that would allow you to fly a B-29 and drop an atomic bomb on Hiroshima or Nagasaki (dropped by the Enola Gay and Bock's Car for all you history buffs out there).
But no... the Flight Sim genre has pretty much all been abandoned.. or replaced by "arcade action" flight games like Ace Combat. Such a cruel, cruel world.... but at least 2d shooters are making a comeback

I got in on this deal and had a chance to try the game out this weekend. I only played for about an hour, but I honestly think the reviews are a little harsh. It's definitely a solid 7/10 for me.
The Pearl Harbor stuff is very cool and worth the $10 alone.

I had it in my cart and started going through checkout and all was fine and when I got to the page where I see the order summary, Rising Sun was missing. I searched for it at the site and saw that the price had gone up to $29.99. They shouldn't be able to raise the price on you after you put the item in your cart.
Crap.

How come people are ordering so many? I did get my copy already, so I'm not really upset. The resale value on this thing sucks though, which makes me wonder why buy like 50 copies of the same game?

My guess is that it's a lot of dealers who nickle and dime their way through life.
Monsta Mack

Why bash the dealers though? Everyones gota make a buck or two. If anything bash EB for not limiting the amount of sales, they should limit it to 2-3 copies per customer. But yeah the trade in value is rather low, and you'll probably take a few dollars loss if u were to trade it in used at most locations. I'm guessing the dealers who buy it re-sell it on eBay and try to make a few bucks in profit, don't blame them blame EB regardless.
*edited*
Just got my game today. Saver shipping arives in five days again, ultra pleased with that. The game itself is decent, it offers multiplayer death match and co-op but theres no system link or live play which stinks. The first mission was indeed good and I heard it goes downhill from there, but from a first impression theres no way I could give this game below a 6/10, I would maybe even give it a low 7 atm. Worth the ten bucks, but not the forty or fifty it debuted at.
