Ha, yeah. I was sitting here contemplating whether or not I should buy it (I really want to play it) but as soon as I saw it was sold out, I was bummed but kind of relieved. I hope Amazon does price match it, I'll jump on it then.

I rented this game since I can't afford the purchase at the moment but I did not put it down until I beat it when it came out.

This game is totally worth 40$ and I am probably alone when I say this but this game is way better than Bayonetta.

Bayonetta is only about 8 hours long and yes it does have high replay value but I felt that a majority of the game was just straight up frustrating even on normal. I had my index finger hurting from constantly dodging to get Witch Time.

And yes it's much more like Zelda because the four chosen bosses have nothing but huge dungeons + puzzles.

Tempted to pick it up but given the size of my backlog and the impending release of ME2 I think I will hold out for a while.

I bought this game last week and it is a must-have. It's been a reaaaaaaaally long time since I've played a video game this much. F'n love it!

The videos of this game made me think me of more action-oriented Fable.

I agree with you ALMOST 100%. As I said in an earlier post Bayonetta is much more fun in short bursts or for just some non-stop really fun action, the dodging is insane, but it actually helped me a lot for Darksiders on Apocalyptic difficulty which is what I played first to get some trophies. It is a great homage to Zelda and my ONLY TWO issues with the game is getting souls is a bit annoying when you need to farm for them and the game is too short, I wish it were longer. I got through it on the hardest difficulty and got all the trophies in 4 days (around 24-25 hours).

Couldn't be more wrong IMO. I decided to finally play Fable 2 a few months back and while I don't regret owning it, it was no where near as good as I hopped it would have been.

Ha! Zero, didn't you suggest to me to skip this purchase? Guess you couldn't resist a good deal, eh?

I waited too long. I was going to do a little of my final then go purchase it then when I clicked the page it was OOS.

All well, just now know that $40 is my buy point.

i really want it but my backlog is at least 40 games full not to mention old console games... lol but if you have time sounds like a great deal

I think you answered your own question.

This game is must have. I would say much better than bayonetta. I played the demo for dantes inferno but until Feb 9th i wont be able to say for sure a final judgment between the two. Darksiders isnt perfect but its worth $60. At $40 it's a steal. Buy it even if you miss the deal. It's one of those titles i want to see kick some A** in sales.

It's a great game. I only wish I had gotten it at that price.

Darksiders is a steal for $40. Would have been in my top 5 if it came out in 09 and will probably be at least top 10 for 2010.

Let's hope it comes back into stock and Amazon price matches. Newegg charges tax in my town.

Well, technically you answered sherisdoppel's question with a question and then went on to answer your own question.

No his question was rhetorical, he wasn't trying to find the answer, he was giving his own answer in response to sherisdoppel's "how?".

Waiting for the eventual amazon price match since it's oos here

I figure that's quite interesting now.
OMG something's gonna happen!

I know Amazon's gonna price-match this.
It happened a lot in the past and they never missed one.

Also, some characters in Darksiders have biblical names.
