Screw the used copy Buy a new one so they can make a next-gen sequel!

I think this is the first time anyone has ever clamored for a Wii U port. That system is nothing but ports. And then you say we should pay $30 for it instead of $18 - nearly double. This ain't Rich Ass Gamers!

Ah thanks, I must have missed the 30 minutes :(
Got it for more than $6, CAG fail.

I have only played the first 30 minutes, thanks for the heads up.

In-store price was $44.99, had to get them to match the $29.99, then accept the coupon, then force the 10% - a little more involved than I expected, but no real trouble. I usually let the used game coupons go to waste, so I'll have to keep an eye on the used games of the week deals in the future (beginning in March, I guess, since this was a Jan/Feb coupon).

That's for sure. I got the $5 Steam version for PC, and some bugs were pretty annoying. My favorite one is the thug standing there dropping and picking up the crowbar. Clang! Clang! Clang! Over and over...

Still a fun game. Played it to completion. The driving "ram" was just plain weird, though...

Agreed. For me this game is probably my favorite sandbox game of all time. Mostly due to how they handled the combat and the setting.

Let's not forget that the driving mechanics were pretty solid too.

Nice one! But seriously, the Wii U has made me a believer. I dont care if its a port, just enhance it and add the DLC, slap a $40 retail price on it and boom... another good title on the system. Say what you will about the Wii U port "issues", but I love the system and would like some open world games on it. Im far from a fanboy, I just love games and the Wii U is a sick piece of hardware. Ive had plenty of time with mine and I dont have any issues with a lack of games on the system, I just want more of them. Who doesnt want more of a good thing? I like the idea of having a whole screen dedicated to the map and menus in my hands that I can use in real-time. I would get rid of my copy of Skyrim on 360 if I could have a Wii U port with all the DLC. That game would be great for the gamepad! Any game with lots of menu trudging would be great for the gamepad. Nintendo is on to something here and Im sure it will be copied by both Sony and MS.

Sleeping Dogs thpough, greta game that could be introduced to a whole new market of gamers with a Wii U release and I think Square owes it to the developers to put this on as many platforms as possible to get the word out so they can possibly make a sequel! There are also some buigs that could be worked out and such. A win-win in my book.

i'd recommend this for <$20. It's rough around the edges in graphics and a few nuances that could use a little brushing up but it's definitely a fun action sandbox game with an emphasis on kicking people in the face.

This franchise has great potential but a personal criticism i have with this is that the story is below par. As exciting as the campaign may be, don't expect anything stellar but expect a lot of loose ends.

Glad I waited! Amazon currently has the PCDD code on sale for $9.99. Snagged it not a moment to soon! Can't wait to get into this one!

According to this PlayStation article, Sleeping Dogs will be added to the Instant Game Collection! Even though I just bought the game, I'm not mad about it because I can download the game and play it on my couch!

Nice!

EDIT: Wait, that's just for Europe?

Hey guys, just a heads up - as one poster said previously, this is kinda YMMV. Just got back from my local BB (Wilmington, NC), and was pretty much shut down on this deal. Cashier and manager confirmed that that coupon was not applicable with the online price match (they consider it a "bestbuy.com" purchase since it was a PM). Also, they couldn't/wouldn't get my Rewardzone 10% to go through either. Been wanting this game for less than $30, so not a total wash, but wasn't expecting to have quite so much trouble. I was also told they are apparently sold out of Dead Space 3 preorders, so I may have just had bad luck with that cashier/manager combo. Anyway, good luck guys.

Something I plan to try eventually is order something like this online for the full price, then go right over to the CS counter, return it and then re-buy it to use the coupon. No idea if that's an ironclad process but someone else mentioned it earlier and it seemed worth a shot.

When did this "not reflecting online prices" happen? I remember it wasn't like this before.

Yes.

Also, for anyone with a Vita, is it worth getting Uncharted for $20? I have PS+, but I only have a 16GB with 2.6GB left. I want to delete my digital copy to make room for Ninja Giden.

Just started playing this game last night and am having a blast. I generally don't like sandbox games, but so far, I'm liking this game far more than DmC.

My favorite parts about the game are the fact that they actually use a large Chinese cast that speak Cantonese and not a weird mix of Cantonese and Taiwanese Mandarin like a lot of games/movies/tv shows do(much better than RE6 too), they actually get the swearing right, and the overall immersion with the setting and NPCs. Only Red Dead Redemption did it better, but this is a close second. Gameplay is pretty damn fun too. I wish I knew it was this great to begin with so I could've bought it on release day. Well worth the $60 and an absolute steal for under $20 if you can get it at that price. I paid $30 on BF.

Just a heads up, this game is gonna free for psn + EU

just beat this game today and i loved every minute of it !!! easily worth 60$ so this price is great. ms chu is one of my favorite characters of 2012 lmao
