Why is their a picture of the DOA 5 CE?

Anyways is this a good price for the CE (not really looking for a discussion on the quality of the game).

How much was this at launch?

Honestly I would say it's bad. This has been the price for at least a month and posted at least once on CAG, so it will drop at some point. Additionally the box is quite large (like Skyrim / Star Wars size), which means they will be more desperate to sell it than say Mass Effect 3 and it's small box. Finally the game was despised by critics and fans, due to this it seems less likely to sell than a good game at a cheaper price.

I would actually get this for $35. $60....no....

But from a collectible stand point it's not very common... unless i'm doing it wrong I can't even find listings on Amazon except the overly inflated 3rd party ones

eBay listings are limited too. A lot of listings for the statue though.

Lol @ that video.

Awhile ago I would have jumped on this at this price, simple for the 4 character DoA5 demo. Nowthat doa5 is coming out in 6 weeks, d only do it for the ridiculously oversized statue... $35 is about right.

If anyone jumps in this and doesn't want the Doa5 demo, let me know... I would pay 5 whole dollars!

The ce was exclusive to GS

Because post Itagaki CE's are all Gamestop exclusive, making it rarer. I think it's a bad business decision on Tecmo's part but they can do whatever. Without Itagaki and his team, Tecmo/TeamNinja is just average at best. But for the very first time, a Hayashi product, DOA5 do look promosing.

Saw one of theses at a GS yesterday.

I'm waiting for it to drop more.. my local GS has 8 for 360 and 6 for PS3.

If you are only a collector then buy this. That should be the only reason for someone to buy this POS from Team Ninja.

Can someone explain why everyone hates this game so much?

Honestly I love the NG series. Ninja Gaiden 2 was my 2nd 360 game I bought. I played the shit out of that game. I recently started my playthrough of 3 and Its torture. Ryu feels slow as hell. You only get 1 ninpo attack, and 3 weapons( It was just 1 at launch) for story compared to 5 ninpo attacks and 6+ weapons in NG 2. Multiplayer is alright, its just something that kills time. Honestly if you want to play the game, wait for it to hit $10, $15 at the most. I paid $20 and I feel slightly ripped off.

Don't forget that Ryu Hayabusa is a master ninja who is rarely outmatched in any sort of ninja field. Now lets look at those trophies/achievements!

- Learn how to slide
- Learn how to cross rope
- Learn the Wall Run
- Learn Ninpo

lolwut?

Plus the game's story is absolute garbage and the DLC is highly overpriced.

Man, this game bombed so bad, these collections are everywhere. You just know you will snag one at $30 at some point.

I'm gonna guess this'll follow FF13-2's $29.99 drop within the next month or two.

well $40 is the current msrp if im correct, so its possible. But like I said, wait for $10 unless you have NOTHING else to play at that current time.

simple, from what used to be the most skill oriented combat hack n slash games ever created, ng3 manage to become god of war players friendly under the new director's leadership, who can't even play is own game on mentor difficulty. lol! u know this transition doesn't bold well with any fan of the series because the whole game is nerf'ed from every angle. personally, i don't hate it but it had significant less play time in my console than ng1 and 2.
