I'm in an even worse situation...I live in Canada so all my purchases get shipped to a family members house.
I paid $27.99 for Resistence 3 on BF and I won't even get to play the game until I see my relatives at Christmas.
Oh well, you win some and lose some :)
I just played through Costume Quest again this year and it's just as good as I remember it being last year. I paid full price and it's still worth every penny. At 600ms it's a no-brainer unless you hate Halloween :)
As for Dead Rising, Case Zero is a great game if you haven't played any other...
I played and beat Dead Island when it first came out. It took me around 30 hours and in that time I had one major bug (gate wouldn't open during quest, required a restart at last checkpoint which fixed it) The game has its issues (story and voice acting mainly) but it's by no means a buggy mess...
I paid the full 1200 for CQ last year and it was totally worth every penny. Going to play through it again next week. I haven't bought the DLC mainly because I didn't like the winterish atmosphere vs. the originals fall-Halloween theme. I'll check it out if it ever goes on sale.
My Batman BB Order hasn't shipped nor has my cc been charged. However, since my XBL account was hacked and MS is taking their sweet time to fix it, I'm playing my PS3 anyways.
