No, it's considered double dipping.

Sweet, the LBP coupon goes through 12/8, just enough time for all my pending points to show up from my AC3 pre-order. Maybe I'll even have finished a Vita game by then!

Also I think playing a Hitman game as a pure shooter basically invalidates your review of it...I mean why bother playing it?

I played it as a shooter because its way too frustrating to play as stealth on most levels. Cant do it. I was only playing on Normal and when there's 30 or so enemies in a small stage, you cant do anything else. You're always trespassing or spotted even with disguises. I learned early on that its NOT a true Hitman game. Those who loved Blood Money will tell you the same. The opening tutorial was probably the only true stealth stage because there's not a lot of enemies, the environment is small and you can actually take them out one by one. You cant do that in the majority of other stages because there's too many enemies. Thats when I just started shooting my way through. I played it because I bought it and wanted to finish it before I sold it. Didnt like the ending either. Sorry but the game is a HUGE disappointment and not what I was expecting. Hitman Absolution is basically the series version of Splinter Cell Conviction.

Because at around the halfway point of the game they stop giving you civilians in missions, it is only you with a couple very linear options to get to your objectives, and 40+ enemies where you can't use a disguise because everyone apparently knows each other. Then the removed the save anywhere feature for a checkpoint one so if you screw up it reloads a checkpoint 20 minutes ago which also respawns everyone including the guys you have killed/pacified and hid their bodies. The game is not that good and should have been a lot better, I would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 and suggest playing blood money instead if you need a hitman fix. If you want a similar game but much better just pick up dishonored instead.

They will not price match and allow a coupon. However, they will allow a coupon to be used on their own sales prices.

I will be able to pricematch Hitman if it drops within 30days right? (is it longer then 30 since its holidays?)

you can't price match gamestops $40 RE6 and then use the coupon can you :(

no.

Does the RE6 coupon also apply to the Special Editions (Anthology edition on PS3, specifically)?

Come on, you know you can't buy stuff at launch except for GCU promos.

According to some vets (cancerman), depends on how they print your receipt, which hopefully we can get some solid info soon.

I just checked the offer in my RZ account and it did in fact list the professional ed. so they should PM the $20 gc

i tried using the resident evil 6 $20 off in the store and it wasn't working. I clicked claim on my account even printed the coupon and when I tried to checkout it just said invalid and still rangup as $59.99

had to get a manager to override the price to $40, he said that has happened to other people today as well.

Awesome thanks! I ordered it from Amz since I've been out of town for a week; but even returning it and getting from Best Buy puts me ahead.

Exactly. This Hitman is much better if you treat it like Uncharted as stealth is a no go.

Grabbed the only copy of LBP Vita in town.

I'm interested to know how the $20 GC appears on the receipt, as Absolution would be my very first Hitman title, and if the possibility to PM down the road is still possible, I'd be willing to bite.

Will the RE6 work on the special edition of it? If so... I'd have to get it.

Yes their sku appear on the coupon.

Do want LittleBigPlanet for PS Vita, but as part of a B2G1 with Zero Escape and Persona 4.

Here's the receipt from my purchase today for Hitman. It took awhile for the offer to show on the computer, but luckily it came through.
I'm guess PMing may be YMMV because it's listed as a Package/Bundle deal.
