In store or on the website? If its on the website , then shipping will almost certainly kill the deal. If it's in-store , then it's probably YMMV , but at least it'll be a deal if someone can find it.

I'm going to check in store after work. I wonder if they'll price match the website if it's not 19.99 in store.

It's both, and it's not YMMV at B&M. There was a big discussion about it in another thread somewhere around here. It's not a bad game. Certainly not the 5 stars that GamePro gave it, but more along the lines of the 7.5 Gamespot gave it.

Yeah I just found it , the $40 sale for it at Target thread was discussing it.

$20 seems kinda tempting , but I've got others games to play right now , and it'll probably go a bit lower.

This certainly isn't a once in a lifetime opportunity, it'll be 20 bucks at Gamestop and Best Buy soon enough. Very few games every sell new for less than 20 though...

I hated the demo, yet I bought one? I think I have a problem..

I'm not sure if it's worth it. Such a crappy game. I might still check it out, I can always try to re-sell it.

I picked it up with the free shipping. It is a decent game with way too many quick time events but I liked the demo enough to bite.

Picked it up. Fast price drop, and the free shipping sells it for me. Now to take this out of my Gamefly queue.

Ordered one. I enjoyed the demo, so for $19.99, with free shipping to boot.. couldn't pass it up. Thanks OP!

The worst part about this game is you can't save your progress until you finish a level.

Killed it for me.

Tempted, but I'd never play it anytime soon so I might as well pass for now.

I picked this up yesterday at TRU so far I have been enjoying it good game for 19.99 would not be worth much more though.

Ordered it online. Free shipping sure beat going to the store. Thanks OP!

Thanks a lot.

I just bought this from BB last week for $29.99 with my RZ coupon. Thankfully I kept it in shrink wrap.

Time to order from TrU when I get home.

Guess I will exchange the BB copy for Fable 2.

Thanks again.

Thanks Op,got a copy.Not sure if it's a good game or not but if i don't like it i'll get ride of it on goozex.This game is still going for 1000 points on Goozex right now (I can't imagine it will stay that high for long) I think I was next in line in the queue for it, so I'm REALLY glad I checked CAG one more time today.

Thanks much OP.

Bought. I saw it at Target for $40 and thought, if only it were $20.

Agreed. I am crying inside over paying full price for this and having it drop so low so fast. :cry:

You might have to keep on them to get your certificates refunded. I returned something that I used an RZ certificate on and it took a phone call to RZ customer service to get the value added back to my account.

It went out of stock from the time I added it to cart to the final payment page. Ugh.

Yep, I thought it was a great game, but I rarely get an hour straight to play a game (wife and kids, etc.) so I ended up returning it in for this very reason. It has checkpoints so I don't understand why they couldn't have also let you save at those checkpoints.

Oh well, I had said to myself that I might be picking it up again when it drops to $17.99 used so here's hoping that this is the sign of a universal drop.

I might pick this up at the B&M tomorrow if I can find Prototype with it what type of game is it? Is it a 99 Nights/Dynasty Warrior rip off or is it like a Ninja Gaiden clone?

Well that stopped me buying it used from GC tonight. I'm betting a universal price drop within 72 hours. So Used for 17$ seems likely.

It's more like Ninja Gaiden but it doesn't play as smoothly. There's also a demo on XBL.

and some of those levels last for over an hour! What a dumb design choice!!

Thanks for the heads up about BB. I checked online and it's OOS :cry:. It's not worth the drive plus the headache from BB.

I'm glad that this is OOS so I don't have to buy it.

The thing is the universal drop just happened...to $39.99. I don't think they'll do another universal drop so soon after, but who knows.

Thanks OP. This swayed my decision on where to buy Prototype. Here's hoping Ninja Blade's still in stock at my local Toys R Us!

Why was this moved to the graveyard? The deal is still active at B&M TRU stores. Just update the OP to say it is sold out online.

wasabi5858

Just received the shipping confirmation. Looking forward to playing it.


AT $20, I would've been inclined to at least call around to see if it is in stock even if it were not available online.
