Thanks Cheapy, missed out last time Play-Asia had this in stock.

I just got the email notice this morning from Pay-Asia that it was in stock. AAAAAARRRRRRGGHHHH!!!!

Must....resist....urge...to...buy...cheap...game.

Dammit. I've wanted this game since it was released. I've read every review and watched every movie. I have all the other Hitman games, but I've never beaten one. I always get about 3/4 of the way through them.

But I really want this for the 360 for $20 cheaper. It's so tempting.

Fantastic game. I recommend this to anyone looking to pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

I took the plunge - was so happy to get that e-mail notification!

Blood Money is worth every penny.

Back in stock after being gone for a few days.

You know I really don't get why Activision doesn't bother lowering the price here for when these games launch considering the cost of the Asian games. I know I'M buying the Asian version of "Enchant Arms" unless the US version goes for $50 on launch week.

After your done playing these games, can you trade them in? Will the UPC ring up at gamerush or EBgames?

If I hated the demo is there any chance of liking the game?

once you get use to the controls this game is awesome.
bought it for ps2 a week ago.

great game.

Forgive my ignorance, I'm sure this question has been answered before but do these games have english manuals?

There's the million-dollar question....c'mon, someone here has to have bought from here and then tried to trade in.

My favorite game for the 360 by far. Replayed it 3 times already and working on professional (hardest difficulty by far) right now.

Possibly. The demo was basically a tutorial and extremely straight forward. All of the other missions in the game allow for more player creativity and far more interesting game design.

I rented this game this morning, but haven't played it yet, friend told me it was somewhat like Manhunt and I enjoyed the hell out of that one. but if I like it, 20 bucks cheaper than retail is good.

Couldn't you just trade it in without the case?

I would just sell it on ebay. Get more money for it that way.

I'm wondering if anyone's heard about the Spectral Force 3 game or Bullet Witch working on an American 360.
If so I'm wondering if I could get ahold of the manufacturer to convince them WHEN they press an Asian version to just take off the region encoding.
Also if not for the price and where I bought it from it almost seems desirable to me to trade my 360 for an Asian one. After all if I had that I could play MOST Japanese as well as American games no problem. Seriously this region encoding crap is the most moronic thing I've ever seen. How many gamers such as myself will buy Tengai, Bullet Witch, Spectral Force or Zegapan? It won't be the majority of U.S. gamers and the same holds water for import PS2 games and so on.

Ended up getting Hitman & Moto GP. Not bad for $85.40
