does anyone know if FF XI will be playable without being online? I like FF but I don't like online gaming.

A big thank you indeed!

Kinda surprised no one is offering a discount on Far Cry though....

*sigh* Still no sale on MVP Baseball 2004 for PS2 :-(

That Retrocon for $14.99 at CC sounds mighty sexy, however. May be time to pick aonther one up :-)

I was hoping for one too, but it's not a game that most people know too much about. Unreal and Battlefield are established franchises that even the non-gaming-centric crowd know about, so they try to entice them in with the low introductory price.

FarCy isn't exactly a well known game outside of the gaming circle, but I'm sure that'll change a few days after its release.

Isn't Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow out for the Xbox this coming week? No mention of that in the ads anywhere?

I guess if you buy 2 of those $50 games at BestBuy you get 3 $10 gift cards.

It's mentioned in Circuit City, but priced at $49.99. So I omitted it

anyone know if that retrocon controller is any good? How about that Drakengard?

I'd rather have this on XB, but I can put that $10 + $5 coupon towards PSOIII. Spiffy.

Isn't Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow out for the Xbox this coming week? No mention of that in the ads anywhere? Fisher is back in commercial form to tell you that they moved the game back a couple of days. New release date is the 27th(which means most stores won't get it until sunday when new ads come out)

I thought they cancelled the Xbox version of the X-files game?

Is that Manhunt price a one-week deal or any chance the game will drop for good? I'd rather get a $20 used copy than $30 new.

It's Secret Weapons of WWII (not Normandy) under the part for CC PC games. You might want to edit it so people don't get confused.

Great post, thanks, much appreciated.

Does anyone know if Circuit does price matches? I would think if they did you could purchase Tony Hawk Underground for 33 from the best buy add and get the memory card for 9.99. I'm not sure on their policy though.

IHas anyone played Drakenguard yet. It got pretty bad reviews. Is it worth it for that price?

miriamleo
03-23-2004, 08:48 PM
I played the demo of Drakengard, and it is ultra-super-repetitive with really dull graphics.
It's not a bad game if you don't mind the repetitive-ness of it.

Yeah, I'll probably get it too. I've heard pretty good things about this game, but the lack of reviews still have me worried. Anyone played it yet?

03-26-2004, 11:27 AM
do you think we can buy X-file and get $10 gift card and then return the game to make $10?

goukill1120
03-27-2004, 07:04 PM
