Have any digital subscribers received their October coupons yet? I never received my September coupons so I want to know if I'm screwed for this month too.

Is dead island GOTY even worth it if you have the original? I still havent really played it but was wondering if the extras were worth it. From what i saw it was really just a few extra weapons, i didn't see too much included that seemed worth it.

Did they ever patch the game to make wepon degredation better btw? I did play a bit at a friends house and the weapon degredation really brought the game down. Your weapon broke after just a handfull of encounters

The GOTY edition comes with an extra mod (Ripper), challenge Arena, and Ryder White Campaign. The mod is unimportant. You'll most likely try it out and forget it. The Arena has some achievements associated with it and is fun to try out with friends. The Ryder White campaign is single player only with no achievements and lasts probably 2-4 hours, but it does clear up some things in the main story if you care about it.

You could trade in Dead Island vanilla to BB for $12 after promo and essentially upgrade for ~$8. Personally if you're an achievement hunter, you'll like tackling the arena with some friends.

So if yours is up soon, ask them for one of the COD mags and get it free with the renewal. I repeat: The COD special edition mag will zero out with a Gamer's Club Unlocked renewal.

The guy that did my renewal the other day (10/1) tried this without me asking and it didn't work. Possible he missed something though.

I couldn't get the CoD issue to zero out either.

Yeah. Price wise it's likely worth it if you plan to play them. The DLCs are $10 each so even if they go on sale for $5, you'll still save a little. Didn't play Ryder White, but the two or three people I talked to who did said it was disappointing for $10. Bloodbath wasn't bad (with friends) and at least it had some chivos. The five throwable mods included in Bloodbath were all pretty cool too. Chivo hunting, I'd say the Bloodbath Arena gave me 10+ hours, although that included quite a bit of messing around.

Even if you don't play it and use ebay, it's probably worth buying and sitting on until it gets closer to Riptide coming out.

I have a roommate who has the non game of the year edition of dead island for 360. If I got the game of the year edition would I be able to play LAN with him? Im also hoping the game will drop to 20 so it will be 10 bucks with a coupon.

You can almost be guaranteed that they will definitely drop it to 20 towards the middle / end of the month. I'd also put a hefty bet that they'll drop Sleeping Dogs back to 39.99 or possibly even 29.99 so the 15 off makes it 15 or 25.

I'd pick it up immediately if it dropped to $15 AC. I kind of wonder if they are easing off on crazy coupon deals for the next three months due to the rush for Black Friday and holiday shopping when normal people don't care about prices and just throw money at anything.

I have the opposite suspicion, actually - if I were BB, I wouldn't want to be in the same position they were last year where they were absolutely desperate to clear out as much "old" (as in stuff that came out in the same calendar year) merchandise as possible with the December DoTDs, items that also take away precious space from your obvious shelf-hogging best sellers like BLOPS II. They're a little smarter about it this year by getting rid of those excess copies of Batman: Arkham City, Kingdoms of Amalur, Mass Effect 3, SSX, etc. much earlier in the year with those crazy coupon deals.

People need to quit guaranteeing price drops because they almost never happen.

Actually this makes a good amount of sense. Think about, Riptide is coming out soon if im correct. Why else would they make a coupon for the first game? To get rid of copies they currently have so all the focus is on dead island 1.5.

It has already dropped once to $20 before this coupon so I doubt it will go any lower.

Yes I know it went down to $20 last month, and it will happen again.

Since you can predict the future, can you tell me the next 20 years worth of Superbowl winners?

I went in today to trade in a few games and got to talking with the Gamer Specialist regarding my not being GCU even though I should be.

Over the course of the conversation we got to talking about how there is "technically" two issues for this month.

-COD exclusive that says Fall 2012
-Assassin's Creed III that says October 2012

He said they got the COD issue in this past Sunday and are going to be putting out the AC3 issue this coming Sunday.

He asked if I had received an issue yet for this month and I told him no and I thought it would have arrived by now. He told me to take the COD issue today and if no AC3 issue arrives by next week to come in and he will give me that issue as well because they've been having a lot of complaints regarding the subscription issues from new/old subscribers.

Good experience....and I hope my mag shows up because I want that used game coupon.

2 wins for the texans, 6 for the eagles, 3 for the pats, 1 for falcons, 1 for dolphins, 2 for the ravens, 3 for the packers, and 2 surprisingly for the raiders. There you go
