Wait, Kameo or PGR3 combined with FFXI is a BAD deal? Am I reading that wrong or what? 2 360 games for $50 is good since they would be $100 seperate. Plus I'm thinking of getting PGR3, but not Kameo.

Go back in your corner Kameo.

Thats what I didnt get either. Its buy one get one free. I'm shocked, its actually a great deal, but not a FF fan, specially if I have to pay monthly to play. Might be good for trade or ebay, and then you get the game you really wanted for about half.

That's actually a really weird deal... they are giving you Final Fantasy XI, a new hot game, for free, with purchase of an older launch title? It's worth it to Ebay both games on its own, could come out about $20 ahead if you play your cards right.

As for me, since I don't have time to mess with that at the moment, I'll just SiN Episode 1, since its $5 cheaper then Steam (ouch, that hurts Valve, dosen't it), and I'll think about Ghost Recon PC.

Why are they giving FF XI away free?

I don't think its FFXI they're giving away, its the other ones that are 'free', as they are all now six month old titles. I'm sure when we see the actual ad it'll say free Kameo/PZ0/PGR3 with purchase of FFXI. If this ad is even for real...who wants to bet the FFXI is actually a trial/demo disc? :)

maybe they giving out FFXI cause the game sucks? maybe it didnt sell well. is there free subscription for the FFXI 360?

Stryffe2004
05-15-2006, 10:31 AM
No the subscription for FF XI is $12.95 per month. And that's just for one character. That's just plain stupid. If MMO want to make money, they need to look at World of Warcraft. There's a reason why they have 6 million subscribers.

On a related note, anyone know if WoWs 6 million subscribers is more than the next 10 top MMOs combined? Next top 5? A friend and I were trying to figure it out, but did not have any numbers.

$12.95 for one character ($1 to add a character) with stable servers or $15 for as many as you want with the worst servers of any MMORPG that I've played. Also comparing a 5 year old game across 3 platforms with a 1 year old PC only game is lame IMHO.
BTW I no longer play any MMORPG but I still get the itch like when you stop smoking.


On a related note, anyone know if WoWs 6 million subscribers is more than the next 10 top MMOs combined? Next top 5? A friend and I were trying to figure it out, but did not have any numbers.

Well FFXI is the 3rd or 4th largest MMORPG ATM with around 500k subscribers. I would say the top 10 might still be less then the 6 million sbscribers.

People at DVDTalk are surprised as well about this deal as well.

They are saying that FFXI does not play well, primitive graphics, etc.

I have actively played in at least a decade but your plan to get the freebie to get something else that you really want is sound.

05-16-2006, 09:44 AM
huh? Is that FFXI deal real?

Guys, here's the lowdown on the FF XI deal. This is what I've relayed to Demotion Man and the folks at DVDTalk:
\From my post at DVDTalk/

From what ad shows, YES it is the full Final Fantasy XI for the XBOX 360 that can be had from buying Kameo or one of the other two titles.

People are curious about that fact over at CAG according to my liason Demolition Man.

But realize this folks..... I :crap: you not.

The way the ad is laid out is that it is under a picture of the XBOX 360 in the upper left hand corner on page #20.

Final Fantasy XI is on the left with the 360 logo on top of it.

The the right is a red circle stating: "Free Final Fantasy XI for 360 with purchase of one of these games. $49.99 value"

There's a red line at the circle's 3 o'clock position touching on 3 pictures of the following XBOX 360 games: PGR3 / Kameo / Perfect Dark: Zero.


Guys, I wish I had a scanner or camera to display this to you all.

So please..... TRUST me on this.

I'm working on YOUR behalf.

Anybody near me in CT. got a scanner / camera?

I would imagine that the receipt would look normal with the exception of the Free game having a $0.00 notation next to it and a special promotion notation under it.

This way your warranty protection would still be intact.

It's weaksauce for me because the only real deal in that listing is for a systme I don't own.

I don't have a 360 and won't have one for a while, so for me, it's weaksauce. If I had a 360, and didn't own one of those three games, then yes, it's a good deal.

Does anyone know more details about that free DaVinci movie ticket? I hope it's not a Target exclusive and it's on-pack everywhere, because Fry's is going to sell it for 29.99 today. That's 10$ cheaper. But no one else even mentioned the game coming out this week. I guess it doesn't matter much. I'm not going to wait a full week, just to pay 10$ more for a 10.50$ movie ticket.

Plus I'd wish it was on the PC version as well, because I'd rather buy that one.

I've got a question concerning the FFXI for free with Kameo, PGR3 or Perfect Dark Zero. Do I have to bring FFXI up to the register with the game I pick, or is it already up there? Or do I have to mail something in?

jollydwarf
05-18-2006, 07:09 PM
I just (mercifully) got through Skameo last night, and all I can say is THANK GOD...it's over. It's only appropriate that the game feature (in the context of the setting) a beautiful girl, because it's gorgeous but as shallow as a kiddie pool. I button-mashed my way through 90% of the time with one 'elemental spirit', and I easily beat the boss (without readings any walkthroughs or posts) with another. Worst final boss fight since Fable.

Damn, Microsoft, you done makin' the massively disappointing first-party/console-exclusive non-racing, non-FPS games yet?

Get PGR3, if you're so inclined to get FFXI, even if it is a regression from the previous edition.

EDIT: P.S. I know the knee-jerk reaction to critics is 'Duh, screw da critics!', but I'm telling you, free or not, enter a screening of The DaVinci Code at your own peril. Go find Inside Man at a dollar theater if you gotta get your cheapass movie fix.

IrregularGamma
05-18-2006, 07:14 PM
I'm not really into racing. Kameo is the only one of the three that appeals to me, otherwise I'd get Perfect Dark Zero.

Usually with deals like this *YOU* take the game up with you. Especially since it's chain wide. This isn't a promotional copy like the free Mortal Kombat V, it's essentially a Buy 1, Get 1 with the "Get 1" being SPECIFICALLY FFXI.

From experience, most people working the register would look at you like you're crazy if you asked so just walk up with it.

Are you sure you can trade in a game like FFXI? I remember back in the day, Best Buy had really cheap Eveerquests for the PS2, and I stocked up on them for trade in foder, and no Gamestop would take them. Even though they were sealed, they cant sell the game as used due to the code on them.

Scorch
05-20-2006, 11:17 AM
If it is open and the key is used, NO, you can NOT trade Final Fantasy XI (to other people). It will not work on any other 360. Well, I mean, you CAN trade it to another user (like me), but they won't be able to use it.

No stores will take FFXI for trade, regardless of sealed or unsealed. You could sell it on ebay if it's still sealed, though.

I just want a copy with everything. I don't care if the key's used. I want it just to have the case and disc.. it's a collector's thing.

That is correct my friend. You bascially would have to sell the game on Ebay or here because no game stores actually take these as trade-ins because of them being Internet based and the one time use codes that are provided with them. I learned that when I tried to trade-in my FFXI for PS2.

Looking closely, that PDZ in the ad is actually the Collector's Edition, so it's probably the best deal there.

I'm definately taking advantage of this when I buy my 360 on Tuesday. Thanks for the advance warning OP!

Thanks for the info on trading FFXI. I may pass since I probably wouldn't make much on selling both games on EBAY. I already have all 3 of the games offered.

Bleh...just went by Circuit City & when they scan PDZ: COLLECTOR'S it doesn't register with the promo. Picked up Kameo & FFXI though...STILL a great deal. Also snagged a copy of SIN...

Somebody out there might have better luck finagling them.

Yep same here... the CE scanned $59.99.

I came in to CC this morning as soon as it opened. They were all surpised about this deal. Also, they could not scan Kameo. The girl at the register had to manually put a penny on FFXI to make it work. I think after I picked up Kameo and FFXI, they were starting to take them down from the shelves. You guys better get on this deal quick before they say it is a misprice. One of the employees I spoke to says that the deal might have been to buy a 360 Console and get FFXI for free

Speaking of mistakes, my CC had the ps2/xbox price of GRAW on the 360 shelf.

Think I could get them to give it to me for 30.00? :lol:

Check out the Trading forum, scalpers are already trying to make $ off this. Kameo and FFXI for $48 is a steal!

I still bet you can get more than $50 for two SEALED games from EBAY or GAMERUSH or something....well, maybe not if you trade them in. Still, $50 for two games.
I was thinking the same thing doubledown......

To Me, it's interesting to note that people here have taken advantage of this deal and that the folks at DVDTalk have largely (from my perspective) forgotten this deal.

The associates at the CC I went to (Almaden Plaza, SAN JOSE, CA) were jumping on this deal to. I think they were as surprised as all of us were & they had a bunch at that location... :)

On a side note...Installing FFXI on my 360 wasn't as much of a "chore" as everyone seemed to make it out to be. Maybe took like an hour or two...

If anyone is only really interested in getting FFXI, I'd be intersted in buying Kameo off of some one for around $30 shipped (So FFXI for $20 :)).

So I'm in Target yesterday and they have NSMB with arrows and signs all around it proclaiming "$34.99!!! AS ADVERTISED!!!"

Are they very proud that they're charging MSRP? Do they want their customers to get excited about it? I don't get it. If you don't have the balls to offer a good price, just put the game on the shelf, put a normal price tag under it and shut the fuck up.

Pretty stale......but CC does seem to be the only store with the Nyko 360 Intercooler in stock on a regular basis. Picking up mine tonight.

I picked up the Intercooler yesterday. I couldn't find a better deal online. Not bad for $20 though.... for the peace of mind its worth it.

I can confirm if you buy one of the three 30 games pictured that FFXI is free. PDZ is just the regular non-LE edition as well. Of course since their covers are so simular I can see how the mistake is made from the ad itself.

Good luck and good hunting.

Just went to the Cascade, MI store, they were just OOS. They held one for me in Grandville, MI where i bought PGR and FF12. Very low stock, only a few left in Grandville and 3 in stock at Alpine, MI store. They were willing to write a raincheck.

Has anybody tried trading this game in at FYE yet? If so, how much credit did you get?

I was expecting a big week for buying this week, but I guess not. really lame deals. When I want to spend, the stores don't give me a chance with any deals or anything i really want, but when I don't want to spend or shouldn't, they give me deals and not enough money.

This was my week after finals and classes were over so I thought I'd get myself something. Oh well.

Thanks all
