While posted in the weekly ad thread, I'll disagree about closing threads linking to online deals. Not everybody has a CC near their home (especially rural gamers) and links to online deals are how they get their cheapass game on. Plus, having games shipped is more convenient for those with busy lifestyles. Not to mention the comission good for the site.

[smellhasreturned]

how is this on live ?

[BuDdyLe]

I guess theres no more

[badboysean]

I would be all over this if they had any ..

[Masterkyo]

Great price ;)

[abhinav]

Great game but stupid AI for the xbox version. They are comming out with an updated version in march for the xbox and xbox 360. The xbox version will have just more things added on but the xbox 360 version is supposed to be alot longer, better graphics and alot better AI.
I advise people not to buy this. Instead wait for the xbox expansion release in 2 months and if you have a 360, get that version instead.

[Chacrana]

Exactly. This is basically the shit version that's being replaced a mere 6 months or so after its release. That's a little sad.

[mtxbass1]

Does anyone have a link to this "updated" version that is supposed to come out?

Ditto that

jrhawk42 granted you did inform us of free shipping w/ purchase of $25, but we would have seen that when we went to CC.com anyways. I'm pretty sure being a Veteran here that you are aware of a few CAG's (The Succesful Dropout) hooking us up with a list of upcoming deals at major retailers around 5 days in advance.

[2Fast]

This game is without a doubt worth $14.99, regardless if a $60 graphical update is coming out for the 360 in two months (but, don't hold your breath on that release date). The single player campaign is loads of fun, and it is a blast to play on live. Buy this, and then wait for a drop on the 360 version, you WILL NOT regret it.

[Demontooth]

I don't see a problem with posting a really good deal from the weekly ads outside of the weekly ad thread, not everyone looks at the weekly ad threads.

[2Fast]

Also, the map editor is worth $14.99 on its own.

[retail sucks]

The version coming to X360 will be the full 2004 PC port with no "instinct" story plus upgrades and the sequel for the PC is being developed exclusively for X360 too called Far Cry 2.

The sequel for the Xbox version with instincts is being called "Next Chapter", and it sticks to the instincts story.

The xbox version is definitely worth $14.99, and paying double that isn't to bad if you have LIVE, where the real fun is. Single player is good, but the AI could've been better, and there's no difficulty setting to enhance the challenge.

The 360 versions will be way better. Also, I'm not fond of the "Predator" powers of the Xbox version, because it makes the game way to easy to beat, because your health automatically builds back up while your not getting hit. Plus, you can't turn the availability to get "predator" of in Death match which I think wrong, because the abilities aren't even.

Indeed. Catch me on LIVE sometime. The multiplayer reminds me of Goldeneye.

[abhinav]

March, trust me just wait for the next part or the 360 version.

[alive741]

I wouldn't have known about this unless posted in its own thread, thanks OP!

Stuff like this should not be limited to weekly ad threads as people tend to skip them because usually they aren't that great..

-Adam

[Tyga24]

I had no idea there was an update coming out in about a month. Do you think the game will be clearanced out further by other stores then? Are there any other details about extras in the Xbox version? I'm still considering picking this up for the price, but I may be enticed by a newer, improved version especially if the MSRP is $29.99 when it's released (like NG Black).

No, its not. The 360 version is a combination of Instincts and The Next Chapter with enhancements.

[KingNES]

Im glad i caught this post, I would not have known about any updated versions with out it. Thanx OP and dont worry about this being posted already, this extra info every1 is discussing is well worth the small amount of space this post took. Thanx again, now I got a good heads up on this game and it's sale.

[jrhawk42]

First off here's a link with all the official info on the new farcry game,

http://www.farcrygame.com/us/newspost.php?id=14447

I know alot of the gaming "news" reporters are saying march, but thats only if development runs smoothly (it never does).

If you're getting a 360 with in the year I'd recomend the 360 version, but I'm sure many of you won't get a 360 till halo3 or a price drop (wouldn't it be sweet if they both happend at the same time)

As for not putting it in the weekly CC ad area, it's not from a CC ad, you can't get it from the store, it's an online only deal.

In conclusion none of this mattered anyway since it sold out shortly after my post.

Oh? So why is it in the weekly ad thread? Why is it on circuit city's local circular on the website? And why was I able to walk in the store today and buy it for $14.99?

[spideymike]

I had no idea about the Xbox sequel. Thanks for posting that link. I'll probably pick this up this week if my local CC still has it in stock.

[2Fast]

Get off of this guy's nuts! Sometimes deals in the weekly ads are very much worthy of their own thread, and this is one of them. Someone said that he found out about this deal through this thread, and that should be reason enough for its existence. So what if he made a little mistake in thinking that this deal was online only? 3453 people don't need to chastize him for it.

[lurknomore]

Geez, nobody is upset with the OP. Everyone just relax.

More importantly, thanks for the info about the updated version coming out. I'll save my $14.99 and play the games that I already have. Thanks.

My bad, I see what your saying.

Far Cry Instincts Predator for the X360 is the will feature both Far Cry Instincts Next Chapter and an enhanced version of the original Far Cry Instincts game.

I'm mistaking Far Cry Instincts Predator for 360 with the supposedly upcoming Far Cry 2 for 360 two totally different games.

"Most Wanted Unannounced Xbox 360 Games"

Far Cry 2

The Premise: This sequel shouldn't be confused with the Instincts series for consoles; this will be a successor to the 2004's tropical PC shooter Far Cry (no Instincts, Predator, or Next Chapter tagline).

What We Know: CryTek, the creators of the Far Cry franchise and the Cry Engine, have already started the development of a next-generation Cry Engine that features dynamic day/night cycles, fully interactive environments, sunray and diffuse transmission, real-time soft shadows, soft particles, destructible environments, volumetric clouds, and an advanced shader technology.

[Eggplant_Wizard]

but I'm sure many of you won't get a 360 till halo3 or a price drop (wouldn't it be sweet if they both happend at the same time).

Yes.

[DealHunter]

Boy, I'm glad my Circuit City didn't have Far Cry this weekend. I was sure going to buy it, and was pretty ticked they didn't have it. I will just wait now for the enhanced 360 version.

[Erikph2]

Thanks for all the information. I will pickup any FPS that is system linkable if its half decent. I hate the fact many games are one player only or multiplayer only via Live. Great game thanks for the information.

[spideymike]

I'm going to see if I can get it PMed at Best Buy since I will most likely not be buying a 360 for at least a year or more. More likely in a couple years when there's a good price drop.

EDIT: I just picked it up at BB with a PM. Oddly they didn't give me the 10% of the difference, but I was in a hurry anyways to fret over $1.50. Oh well. $15 is still a great deal.

[Tyga24]

Despite debating whether or not to pick it up I decided to pick it up after walking into to CC to see what's left from the clearance and what games were 19.99 or less for next week's B2G1 sale. I'm not going to open it right away anyways because of the backlog of other games I have yet to finish/play so I'll probably determine whether or not to keep it later on. It seems like a pretty good price compared to other store prices for Far Cry New.

[eraser813]

I picked up 2 copies today. Do you guys know the trade in value for this game at any of the usual trade in places?

[gaelan]

just get a pm it somewhere if you're that upset

[dafoomie]

I would never have known about this if not for this thread. Thanks. I'll pick one up as soon as its back in stock.

[DealHunter]

I would have tried that but the Best Buy in my area calls to see if the other store has the item in stock.

[Demontooth]

go to sears

[Psykodelik]

Thanks for the post OP. I'll try to get one this week. I'm really interested in the map making option.

[retail sucks]

go to sears

or PM it on Sears.com for that matter.

[gaelan]

oh yeah, don't forget your pricegrabber $5 rebate on this title...requested mines today

[Tyga24]

Thanks Gaelan, I didnt know this had a PG rebate. I'll probably end up keeping this title with the $15 and the $5 PG rebate. $10 usually validates most game purchases for me, especially with the high ratings this game recieved.

[SilverPaw750]

Picked up the last copy at my local CC - thanks OP.

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

anyone else get their order cancelled? mine did. and i know i was one of the first people to order it. i was waiting sunday morning for it. as soon as their website updated with this weeks ad i ordered it. 5:30am. they didn't even send me an email about cancelling it. the way i found out was my wife was checking our bank account online and saw that the money for it came back. i went to circuitcity.com and checked the order status and it said cancelled. no reason given. so i checked the confirmation email they sent me when i ordered adn followed the link in it to the order status and it says it's not cancelled. and i can't get ahold of them because their 800 nuber doesn't open untill 10:00. im gonna be super pissed if they cancel it.

[LaraCroftsLeftBoob]

well, i called thier 800 number and spoke to some guy in india (which added a +10 to my pissed meter) he told me he didn't know why it had been cancelled. he tried to tell me i must have cancelled the order. then he tried to tell me it must not have been in stock. i waited all night/ morning waiting for their website to update just for far cry. as soon as i got the page saying they were updating their site i checked every few minutes. i ordered the game at 5:30 in the freaking morning. hours later it was still showing available online. i asked to speak to a supervisor and was told there were none there. ( another +10 to the pissed meter) one thing that really pisses me off is they didn't even email me that they cancelled it. i found out while checking my bank account online that the money was returned. so i sent them an email saying that if they're going to randomly cancel orders i wouldn't be ordering ever again.

sorry for the rant, just really pissed off.

That bites. Where in Ohio are you? Maybe a local CAG in your region can help out. I'm in Cleveland. I know my CC had 2 in stock on Monday, but I got mine at BB with a PM.

pm it somewhere else

[007bond]

Thanks OP! Just picked up a copy tonight at my local CC. Great deal with the PriceGrabber rebate.

[radjago]

I price matched with the ad at Walmart since I had a gift card to use there. It went smooth as ice.

[AwRy108]

It's kind of a bummer to see this game drop in price so fast--people are judging it against the PC version, but it was designed to be different. I've heard a lot of people say it's really good.

[speedy05]

got the lasy copy, great price.

[SilverPaw750]

I'll step in real quick to say buy the game. The AI isn't spectacular, but the graphics are AMAZING for Xbox, and it's so much damn fun to creep around the jungle and slaughter enemies who don't know where you are. And then rush in and annihilate the last few with dual SMGs or a feral attack.

[ma]

Thanks, picked one up. There were many copies on the East side of Madison, WI.

[gaelan]

enjoying it so far. played some multiplayer last night, but haven't gotten into the map editor yet. for $11 after rebate it's a great game so far.
