Nice. I got in on a Condemned 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 for about $10 each last time gamefly did this. They bring some sweet used deals to the table.

No, I don't. However, GF did mention that the better these sales perform, the more they will have.

Yeah this is tempting even with the bad reviews. I actually liked the demo...
alpha064
03-02-2009, 09:31 PM
The demo masked what the real game is like, when you play, it is barely like the demo, but at $15 you can't go wrong.
FloodsAreUponUS
03-02-2009, 09:31 PM
Sales like these just mean worse availability for renting members.
I'll be jumping on this deal. I've been looking for this game for a good price for a long time.

How much is shipping and do you usually get a complete used copy with original case/manual?
and which format is best? PS3 or wii?
Thank you

After owning the ps2 version and then playing the ps3 game, ps3/360 is the one you want. And isnt there free DLC for the game as well?

As far as I remember there isn't any free downloadable content at the moment. I purchased the Jedi Temple scenario, new mission for :360:/:ps3:, and everything else I remember in the store was just a skin.
For $15 shipped it is a must buy.

They did a great job with these deals last time and I'm glad to see they're back. I've been wanting to pick this game up for a while and was about to do so over at Familyvideo for $19.99. But now I can score a copy for $5 cheaper with free shipping plus I have 5 gamefly bucks.

Free shipping and you get the original case and manual. They always give you the case and manual and it is always in perfect shape because they dont rent the games with case and manual.

I'm seriously considering this. Ordered 5 games from Gamefly so far and they've all come like new, so I think I'll be jumping on this.

jupiterjones
03-02-2009, 11:04 PM
Rented and beat the PS3 version about a month ago. Game looks fantastic, plays kinda meh. Decent brawler/button masher for the most part. Worth $15? Hell yes.
(Just beware of the pull-the-star-destroyer-out-of-the-sky part. Ugh)
Gertle627
03-02-2009, 11:06 PM
Think I'm going to jump on this. The TIV in the GS thread still says $15 (I hope that doesn't get nerfed anytime soon) so with the current promotion that'd be a $7.50 profit on the flip alone. But I actually want to play this game.
Thanks for the post!

beat the game on a rental. i do want it again, but bills are hitting hard this month. I'll wait until it goes to $9.99. Shouldn't be much longer.
mrcheapo11
03-02-2009, 11:20 PM
Beat this when I borrowed it from a friend, but want to go back and beat it on Sith Lord for the extra 300 Gamerscore. The only thing is, I don't know if how hard that could be. $15 is a damn tempting price to find out if I can though...
fizzywix

Awesome, going to grab one before I go to bed.

03-02-2009, 11:28 PM
feels like I should pass since I already played the wii version and the game was so repetitive.
But 15$ for ps3 is tempting.

Aren't they identical gameplay wise? I guess 360 would have achievements, and I'm pretty sure TFU on PS3 doesn't have trophies. I think that graphically the 360 version ran a little more smoothly...but that's my vague memory on reading reviews when it came out.
Jauron
03-03-2009, 12:06 AM
I got the 360 version during Christmas during one of the sales. If your into achievements at all you'll get some time out of this game, and I found it to be decent.
Gamefly does a great job, looking forward to the rest of the deals this week.
ruibing
03-03-2009, 12:07 AM
Hmmm, PS3 or 360?
I don't think it matters much. If I had a choice I would go with the PS3 version if only because Blu Ray discs' scratch protection works very well. Of the four games I've ordered from GF, they have all been in excellent to like-new condition.

I just got back from trading this game in at Gamestop and got base price of 16.75 for the PS3 version. Under the current promo trade six get an extra 40% plus 10% from the EDGE card it came to $25.13. Conceivably one could make $60+ if 6 were bought and traded in.

Sweet, I rented this just a few weeks ago and almost kept it for $30. Glad I didn't. Too bad they don't have the PSP version in this deal.
whoknows
03-03-2009, 12:53 AM
This isa fun game. Short, and it has it's share of issues, but it was very enjoyable aside from one horrible boss fight.

I really liked the PSP version. Got kind of a bum rap by the critics. Same story but a slightly different path to get there. I beat that version then rented the 360 version and it seemed like two different games. I got stuck on the junk planet level on the 360 right before I had to return it. This type of game play has always been hard for me since I am a FPS guy.
Trying to decide if I should really even invest the $15 on it. I want to but worry that I will just get stuck again. I don't mind replaying levels 3-4 times but when it goes beyond that I get frustrated FAST.

KingofOldSchool
03-03-2009, 01:21 AM
Ehh I got 10% off plus $5 off, but I'll probably hold off. I already beat it in a weekend with the PS3 version, will play again on the 360 for achievements but don't really want to buy it.
iNFiNiTE HORiZON
03-03-2009, 01:25 AM
I had the 360 version when it first came out...ended up beating it and getting rid of it after a few weeks. It was really fun and Star Wars fans will love it, I actually think I'll rebuy at this price, I kinda want to play it again, but some boss fights were kinda ghey.
edit : on another note, the base TIV at GS is $15 for 360 version, so essentially it could work as a free game rental or trial, if you dont like it, or if you beat it quick you can just trade it to GS and get your money back in credit...or more, %10 EDGE plus %40 percent for tiered deal...you'd end up with 22.50, so you'd make a profit if you wanted to just play thru the game quick and trade it.
I'd say it's definatly worth a try in my opinion, i liked it.

I certainly hope you're right. Around Dec, I bought TNA when it was ~$12 and thought I got a great deal until the following week when GC had it for $9.99 and part of the B1G1.

I can't speak for the PS3 version, but I had no noticeable issues of any kind on the 360. Played smoothly (and I played it a lot for about 5 days, with some 3hr+ sessions).

I agree. After reading about some of the issues this game has (at least PS3), your logic has saved me $16. I totally forgot that Resident Evil 5 comes out in 12 days!

I'd rethink this if I were you. Anytime you have the opportunity to buy a decent PS3 or 360 game for $15, do it.
Why? Because you can always make your money back through resale. $16 is so cheap that someone will buy it through Craig's List.
I bought the PS3 version for $16. I'll enjoy the game then trade it in at Goozex for 900 points which I will then use for Resident Evil 5. End result is I get to play Force Unleashed and get a used copy of RE5 for a little over $20 total.

thats the best case scenario. if all that worked out and you're bothered to do all that then by all means do buy the game.

Definitely in for one.
First time buying from them, and I noticed they charged me a dollar. Anyone know what that was for? I opted out of the subscription to Sports Illustrated, and I didn't pick any rental services. I know it's not much, but, after all, I am a cheap-ass gamer. :)

...shoot. I bit. One for me and one for Goozex.
I do want it after playing a friend's copy. Its one of those "terrible but fun" guilty pleasure games. I just immensely enjoyed the tutorial level, walking around as Vader, killing Wookiees and stormtroopers indiscriminately.

I almost kept this from gamefly for $35. I figured $20 was my "must buy" point. Gamefly must have overstocked themselves with this one, I rented it no problem from them, one of the few rentals that i didn't have issues with. .
I've always been able to buy games without issues from gamefly, but when it comes to rentals...not so much.

Thanks for the heads up! I definitely bit, $16 for a relatively recent X360 game is nothing to pass up. Plus, even if the gameplay isn't amazing, I want it for the storyline.

Wow -- I signed into my account to order, and it had a drop down menu for coupons. I pulled it down to see a $5 coupon in my account that I had no idea was there! :) I think it's from a survey I filled out for them a few weeks back -- $10.79 made this a no-brainer. Thanks Cheapy!

03-03-2009, 08:51 AM
Nice! Thanks OP. Picked up the 360 version. I don't think this game is that great, but I'm interested in the story, so $15 is a nice price point.

picked up one for 360 and one for ps3. figure I could flip them on goozex for a good profit. If not, I know a co-worker was looking for a good deal on a PS3 one. So I'll prolly give it to him at cost if the condition is good.
jcp42877
03-03-2009, 09:20 AM
I bit. Been wanting to play this again since I beat it & traded it in so I can get more gameplay and unlock the achievements I missed, but I wasn't going to pay $45 or anything. It's a fun hack n slash, flawed yes, but very fun; a worthy 7.5/10

03-03-2009, 09:29 AM
The game was built on the PS3, if you have the option, I'd suggest the PS3 version, despite reports. If yours happens to be iffy, just swap it at Gamestop.
Too bad I didn't wait, picked it up from FamilyVideo for $20. Oh well.
At $15, can't go wrong. You can always just hold onto it until they come out with a hot Star Wars property (say that Bounty Hunter TV show that has forever been in the works), then sell it on Ebay. Worked like a charm for me when The Clone Wars came out.

Sales like these just mean worse availability for renting members.
i doubt it matters. At this point, gamefly probably has a large overstock of the game, that its probably extremely profitable to sell their excess. They will keep plenty to rent out...

They've ALWAYS charged me tax. I believe they have to because they are technically doing business in all 50 states with their rental service. I don't think they can get around that due to the nature of their business. Are you sure you're remembering correctly? I just looked back, and every game I bought from them last year they charged me tax on.

Absolutely positive, just checked my previous receipts. And they do NOT have to charge tax as long as the don't have a physical location within the state. One of the reasons I hate having an Amazon.com office in town. Otherwise it's counted as interstate commerce and you're "supposed" to pay your state sales tax that you owe on that product at the end of the year when you file your income tax.

Huh strange, I'm in Wisconsin. I guess they must have a distribution center here somewhere. We normally don't get fancy things like that here. :bouncy: Lucky me.

As a new subscriber I haven't looked at where my games are shipped from, but now I understand why it takes so long. The closest distribution center is in Missouri and I'm just north of Seattle, WA. Nice to read on the Wikipedia page that they plan on opening a DC in Seattle in 2009.

as a star wars fan i really enjoyed this one. i picked it up when it launched .. retail but with a $20 GC for TrU.
Played it through a few times, about 20-25hrs worth and then traded it on Goozex, which ended up getting me Fable 2 :)
Definitely worth picking up for 15. it's like God of (Star) Wars, just with lower production values(not that the production is bad, but what has better than GoW?)
oh, and the story is actually quite good.

I've purchased 6-7 used games from Gamefly and I just want to say that the box and instructions are usually flawless because I don't think those are sent to renters. The disc itself is about 50/50. One game I received had a chip on the side (lol) and a couple have light scratches, but the others are perfect. Regardless, I have never had a problem playing them.
You do have a point though, this game is going for about $20 on Ebay regularly so it's not a "super" hot deal, but a deal nonetheless.

gamefly's games have come in pristine condition for me. I got about 10 games from them, 9 were mint, 1 was scratched, but worked.
also, to the people concerned about shipping confirmations, i usually dont get mine till the next day.

Do I have to register to GameFly in order to be able to buy it? I only see "Buy it alert" and "Rent" buttons. I don't really want to subscribe to GameFly. :(

I ordered mine at about 2:45 a.m. (central time) and I got my shipping confirmation about 7 minutes later. I guess I was one of the first to order :lol:

:( Crap...I bought this game a few weeks ago when it was an Amazon DotD for $25.99.
I'll have to stick around the next few days to see more deals. The game is pretty sweet for an action game. Nothing better like lifting helpless Stormtroopers and chucking my lightsaber at them...
