i need to follow this advice, im trying to rush through my backlog right now...makin good progress but still seems neverending especially when u have a lot of rpgs to deal with.

Conveniently this was my double coupon day. Grabbed Game of Thrones. Thanks cheapz0rz

I am weak and ordered Asura's Wrath. Watched a video review of GoT and I can easily pass on it.

Bought Game of Thrones.....I just have that sinking feeling it will be $7.99 soon at gamefly. But you never know ?

So you guys just collect games for fun? like baseball cards? Cuz don't say you will ever play them all. Seems like the biggest waste....but to each his own.

Thanks! Grabbed SSX even though I have a backlog like most people. The monkey never learns.

Been waiting for Asura's Wrath to show up! Got a PS3 copy, also picked up GoT because I'd like to see if it is as bad as everyone says.

Thanks Cheapy.

For some us i am pretty sure we collect games. I know i do i buy them when they hit cheap but i enjoy it. I figured if i didnt buy them i would waste it on beer or something else. I do drink just not a lot. Like you said i guess everyone has some hobby for our money

A waste...in the eyes of some sure. But many things in this life are a waste. Collecting or doing anything for fun is technically a waste when the time can be spent helping others.

This site was built on something that is unimportant in the grand scheme of things.

Cars, stamps, cards, movies, music, games, art, postcards, books, action figures, etc etc etc. Those are some of the things people collect.

I enjoy games not because they are games, but because I am passionate about the industry itself. I am one of those people who dislikes games being called games because to me they are more than just something to play with. The amount of time and energy, let alone cost these days, that go into making a video game is staggering. More often then not it costs as much money to make a game than a movie (if not more) and it takes far longer to make a big budget game than a live action movie.

Motion capture, sound recording, concept art, full orchestra for soundtracks, on location scouting, scripts, etc etc. All of those things require a ton of work behind the scenes all so we can hopefully get some enjoyment for a few hours.

But I have gone on long enough.

TLDR, I have an issue with buying games I intend to play because they interest me and my interest outweighs my free time.

Saints row possibly will have one but even though it is Capcom, Asura's wrath did not sell well enough to warrant another print.

Are you able to trade in the same game twice ? Or maybe at different stores, I know you guys hate flippers and all but i'm in a terrible situation. My parents don't want me spending my money on videogames so I thought with GOT I might be able to score a free game. At best buy btw.

In for Asura's Wrath!

Saints Row will most likely get one.

As for Asura, if you bought it now with all the DLC, it would come out to $30.

Even if they did a GOTY edition, it would most likely be $30 to $40 MRSP. Doesn't seem like it's worth to it to wait around for something that might not happen when you can blow through the game in a weekend and resell it now.

I was going to buy GoT on both systems to trade to BBY, but the version went out of stock just before I placed my order. Oh well--$10 -> $24 is still nice.

That definitely explains why it disappeared so quickly.

In other news, Asura's Wrath is $20 new at Amazon, I can wait for that one.

I couldn't agree with you more. And very well put. I (literally) shake my head when folks carry on about what is/is not a 'deal'. The great fact is that someone (a fellow CAG), thought enough to take the time to post something he/she thought might benefit someone else and so on/so forth, to have folks actually condemn them for a 'meh' deal. So, in a way, (I guess in it's own 'little' way) I have always looked at CAG as a community for people/gamers/etc. to help one another (if it's finding 'cheap ass games' (or what someone may think is a 'cheap ass game' and/or good deal); folks that bicker over this stuff baffle me. This site (literally) saved my life (believe it or not...seriously) when I stumbled upon it about three years ago, I won't go any further re: the how's and why's but trust me, it did (and not because I found 'cheap ass' video games).

Thanks for the post.

I got GOT, omg I am so excited! I have a couple hundred ps3 games on my backlog but I putting this one on the top of the list!

I really do love shitty games, and I hear this game is the shittiest!

Thanks OP

No problem, I mainly dislike when people consider video games just for kids because it's a "game".

I hate it when my wife wants to "RP" and I get all excited, dim the lights, turn on some mood music, then bust out a JRPG just to find out she wants to have SEX...
