Gonna get Hitman, then use the $20 GC and $20 off coupon to get RE6. Thanks for the update.

Thinking about getting LBP Vita...I have the $5 mystery reward and $100 in rewards....

Same here. Anyone know if we can price match this in some way to get an additional $10 gift card? I was thinking maybe a return rebuy could work, but I think they take the value of the gift card you got off of the return.

Just got my Halo 4 $20 reward. I'm going to use that toward LBP Vita. Assuming they have one in stock.

still waiting for my $20 from BO2.

buy a new copy

return the new copy with your old receipt.

keep receipt with gift card.

Gonna have to wait on a price drop fro RE6. I could see spending 20 on it but not 40. I passed on it at 25 during the Microsoft deal so no rush since it's sure to hit 20 just about everywhere by Christmas anyway and I have a stupidly big backlog thanks to Black Friday. Ugh!!

Is the gift card at point of purchase or emailed?

i got mine 20 reward zone for black ops 2 pre order they just aded in points for reward member.

I got my Black Ops 2 $20 gift certificate 3 days after pick up. I did, however, order the game on 9/28, which is more than the 30 days waiting period.

How do we know that Hitman is going to be a good game without any reviews so far? I know the previous ones were, but this is a whole new ball. Remember when everyone was so excited about Ghost Recon: Future Soldier? People were buying that game in drove when it was released, even though there were no reviews out there, and that game is so bad it's unplayable.

Um, there are reviews. http://www.metacritic.com/game/xbox-...man-absolution

9/10 IGN
5/5 G4
8.8/10 Game Informer

And tons more mostly good reviews. I bought it at launch and will play it in a couple of weeks after finals. Can't wait! This is a good deal IMO.

Supposed to be around 15 hours+ long/short for the SP campaign, according to Angry Joe Show.
That's not even including the high-level of replayability (tons of ways to do kills, the scoring system, etc); and the new Contracts Mode, which he discusses later (around 16:58 into this).

See around 16 minutes and 9 seconds into it, where Angry Joe discusses the SP campaign's game length.

oh.... you best buy. Buy this on release and then you do this.

It took me three days to finish Hitman. With the GC, I would say that its worth buying but for $60 straight, nope. I bought it, beat it and already sold it on ebay. Basically, it cost me $25. Length depends on how you play the game. To me, its basically the Conviction of the Hitman franchise. I'm NOT even a hardcore Hitman fan and even I was disappointed. For me, the story is horrible. I hated it. After the first two stages, I just wanted to zoom through the game as I wasnt even into it anymore. Just wanted it to be over. Gameplay was good at times but also bad at times. The camera was too close at times which makes the buttons for dragging, weapon pick up, etc. hard to see. Granted, once you get used to it, you'll be fine. But its still annoying.

I basically went through running and gunning the majority of the game. Cant do stealth because there's too many stages that have way too many enemies. Disguises are horrible in my opinion. Instead of being here and there, you pretty much need to use them the entire game which also turned me off. Also, didnt like the aiming and shooting. To hold down the RT button halfway to get a slowmo on the target and then press it all the way down was annoying. Dont have to do this but didnt like it. The point shooting feature which is basically a copy of Conviction's mark and execute is horrible. I barely used it. You have to press RB to start instinct, then X to start the point shooting, then LT to aim, RT to target/mark and then X to finish it. Sorry but takes way too long to do this. Also, hate the scoring system. Shouldnt exist. I understand being penalized for killing civilians but to get penalized for killing the guys who are hunting you is just stupid. Near the end of the game, I stopped caring about points. I just wanted to finish the game.

Graphics/Visuals - 9/10
Music/Sound/Voice - 9/10
Gameplay - 5/10
Story - 5/10
Overall - 7/10

Here's how I can sum this up - the tutorial stage was my favorite stage. I did pure stealth and hid everybody. Game went downhill from there. I was so pumped for this game and honestly thought that it was going to be my game of the year but nope, Sleeping Dogs is still my game of the year.

As for site reviews, etc...you're better off just playing the game yourself. I hate reviews because you never know if they're legitimate or not. Sites get paid for good reviews or gets extra advertising. I stopped going by reviews a decade or so ago. In the end though, the only review that should matter is your own.

Would I be able to price match Fry's price of $35 for Resident Evil 6 AND use the $20 off offer?
