33$ used shipped at Gamefly.
They are known to have very good condition case+manual because they store them and rent out the discs.

Hmm, I think I might go for that... I would go to gamestop since its right near me, but I don't have an edge card...
Thanks, ordered it. I remember someone posted this on cag, but I thought it was expired or something... Thanks though.

stupid prices?? WTF?? Never heard of em, but it sounds appropriate since none of the above responses are really any deals. Just got my brand new sealed copy directly from M$ for only 9 bucks + tax, no shipping. It arrived pretty quick too (3 days), I was surprised, although Gears of War was put on backorder, but it looks like it's been shipped out already so I'll be getting it soon. So $29.22 total for Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Gears of War, all new/sealed. I'm glad I didn't pay full price on these games! Haven't paid more than $20 for a 360 game yet! :D

Why waste your time gloating if you're not going to share?

Even though $40 isn't that cheap, it's still a good deal for the game. It's really a great game. I paid the full $60 for it and don't really regret it.

I think that may be from that Microsoft awareness for its products club thing you can join if you work for a certain businesses that sells Microsoft products.
You take little quizzes for points to prove you are familiar with their products and you redeem the points along with shipping and handling ($9 he mentions I'm guessing) and you get the product.
If not, he's being a douche for not sharing :)

That or its possible fraud. He might be abusing the disc replacement system somehow, like saying X discs are scratched by the 360 and pays $10 each. He doesn't mention this since it is either fraud, the above, or he is lying.

i wouldn't pay more then 15 dollars for it since the storyline is about 25% as long as a real average RPG.

This is correct. It's the microsoft retail expert zone which he mostly likely frauded his way into.

So you're telling me the average RPG is 100 hours in Length for the main storyline? I'm pretty sure the average for a "real" RPG is 25-30 hours. This game is ~25 hours for the main storyline if you don't rush it. Add another 10 or so hours if you do actually plan on exploring in this game. Add another 20 or so for side quests. I'm 14 hours into the game and have only completed ~40% of the game.

It took me about 30 hours to beat doing the storyline the first time with all the sidequests, I didn't explore tho. But it's a great game, a little tedious if you're doing sidequests driving the stupid mako around for hours on different planets, but the story part is great.
And yah it's the the Microsoft Retail Zone, my gf works at Gamestop so she is signed up for it and I reap the benefits lol. Picked up a copy of Mass Effect for $9.81 new/sealed.

Technically the main storyline of this game takes 10 hours. The amount of side quests that Bioware chose to do was bad game developing. They need to learn how to make a longer main storyline so you actually care about these charactors. When I was faced with key decisions on my team, I didn't care either way. Compassion and character development in an RPG needs to be a part of the main plot, not a hunt and peck secondary feature.
