[tuffguycore]

I bought it at the last DotD for 15, think they'll PM?

 

[JaylisJayP]

I took a chance and did one for in-store pickup a few miles away. I'm debating buying it used at gamestop to try it out first and then returning the sealed copy or just not picking it up if it sucks.

 

[Organ Donor]

Nice deal. The closest store to me that has it is across the Ben Franklin bridge in NJ, which costs $5 to take back... decisions decisions.

TIV at GameStop is 8 for PS3 and 10 for 360. If you don't like it, you get more in store credit anyway.

It's only $5. Just skip Starbucks once this week.

 

[niknum]

360 not available for shipping. So swiped PS3 version.

 

[Jack_Frost]

can someone tell me how the game is? all I know is rpgs and fighting games

I need to go to best buy anyways to pick up the new Nas cd so if the game is good (for $5) ill def grab it and mess around. If I dont like it im sure I can sell it on craigslist for my money back or even more ha

 

[kilik64]

[quote name='LordVila']It's only $5. Just skip Starbucks once this week.[/QUOTE]

Kills me that people spend 5 bucks a day for steamed milk....

Buckled to peer pressure (what I'll tell my wife at least) and grabbed a copy for in store pickup at my bb.

 

[Jack_Frost]

idk if sarcasm but Starbucks is more then just "steamed milk"

Starbucks is the best

 

[JaylisJayP]

[quote name='LordVila']It's only $5. Just skip Starbucks once this week.[/QUOTE]

Yeah the price is ultimately what pushed me to buy it. I just hope it works OK with the wheel, otherwise I'll trade it in.

 

[kilik64]

[quote name='Jack_Frost']idk if sarcasm but Starbucks is more then just "steamed milk"

Starbucks is the best overpriced coffee you can get! [/QUOTE]

Fixed it for you.

 

[ooga]

No copies in my local store so I ordered one w/ free shipping to my house. They lost money on this transaction.

 

[Ferrari Racer]

Dunkin Donuts> Starbucks

 

[kulsechsky]

[quote name='ooga']No copies in my local store so I ordered one w/ free shipping to my house. They lost money on this transaction. [/QUOTE]

Yes, but I've found myself buying games from BBY almost exclusively. Their marketing is working... on me anyway.

 

[kilik64]

[quote name='Ferrari Racer']Dunkin Donuts> Starbucks[/QUOTE]

Dunkachino ftw! Like 2 bucks for a large and oh so delicious.

 

[Donken]

Dang it, no shipping ones left and closest store that has one is 3 hours away which would cost a lot to pick it up. Oh well, hopefully next time they have a $5 game.

 

[ijustw1n]

Feel like if this was many years ago and E.T. Was a deal of the day, it'd be a hot pickup too. Sometimes seems more like cheap ass hoarders than savvy gamers.

 

[Zeferino64]

Is there a main page on bestbuy to see the deal of the day? I keep bookmarking new pages since it look like they stop using the page I bookmarked before it.

 

[barrit]

There's a link in the op. you should atleast read the op before posting in every thread.

 

[JaylisJayP]

Just got a "not available for pickup" e-mail. Whatever.

 

[kulsechsky]

[quote name='crazedracerguy']Or you can blame the fact that it's a $5 game from one of the most popular series of games around... Why do people just assume that BB had 5 million of these in the warehouse and 4.99 million were sold to flippers? ing ignorange and stupidity... [/QUOTE]

Umm... Actually i ordered 4.98 million copies to trade into gamestop. A best buy representative just called me to ask if the delivery address has a loading dock. Im having it all delievered to the local gamestop so i told her id have to call her back.


Having said that, I have 4.98 million copies of the run for sale. Only $10 but no tax. :lol:

I'm sorry, oh wise one. Can you tell me what game I shall buy next? I do so want to know what has passed your rigorous screening criteria of price to enjoyment of all people that agree with you.

I like the NFS games, even the shitty reviewed ones. I've played just about all of them. I don't need for IGN to give something a 9 for me to enjoy it. Sometimes I just like to race cars around and blow shit up. For $5, that's what I'll be doing tonight.

 

[1mbalanc3d]

in for a NFS... $5? eh... i brought my lunch today

Exactly. In for one.

Is NFS The Run even worth investing my time in?

I knew it!!! You BASTARD!!! You're the reason I can't get a copy... Well, I got a copy, because I got up early and ordered one, but metaphorically, I curse you for costing me my chance at a cheap game. Even though I got one, I am a VICTIM OF HOARDING!!!! I feel so complete today. Thank you... even though I curse the ground you walk on!

So you are saying there is NO value in this game at $5? Because if that is what you are implying then you are wrong. What do you even mean by savvy? You are here to complain for the sake of complaining and nothing more.

 

[cancerman1120]

Some of the people here complaining about this game will be shelling out $15 to watch the The Dark Knight Rises this weekend (so will I). If you play this game for 1 hour it has the same entertainment value.

Oh... and I don't know about you, but, while I never played E.T.... I know I played the out of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" on my 2600 back in the day. Back before we had strategy guides and you actually had to figure shit out on your own. If I still had my 2600 and it was $5, I'd probably buy it again just to try and get the Ark.

I will be using the $5 off coupon from my BB steelbook that I got for $5 this weekend I will consider that to be the $5 I spent on Batman, which means I got a game AND got to see Batman for the cost of a movie ticket

 

[Donken]

[quote name='ijustw1n']Feel like if this was many years ago and E.T. Was a deal of the day, it'd be a hot pickup too. Sometimes seems more like cheap ass hoarders than savvy gamers.[/QUOTE]

First of all, their is no such thing as a savvy gamer. A true gamer spends their time gaming and doesn't know anything about life, just about their dark corner they game in.

Second of all, to see a movie even at Redbox is $1.20, so if you get about 10 hours out of this game, you have gotten a great deal since thats about as much time as you would have wasted watching movies.

Third of all, Need for Speed series is awesome if you find them at a good price.

Last of all, I say good day to you sir.

 

[Rodster]

I bought The Run last month @ $14.99 for the 360 and can't return it cause i'm RZ Rewards Core and not Silver. I picked up another copy for the PS3. This game is very underrated. The driving and story is a lot of fun, just doesn't last too long.

 

[Guillermo_IGN]

wow and i bought the gamer magazine for resistance 3. Best Buy got me!

 

[kulsechsky]

Hey now, im wlling to sell them at $10 so its still cheap. I DESERVE to mark it up since I was douchy enough to buy as many as possible while only thinking of myself. Haha.

In all seriousness, I think people take the hoarder/flipper consipracy too far but it does happen; I've seen it with my own eyes. It annoys me though cause its completely based on selffish motives.

 

[Flacksguy]

Hell yeah I'd buy E.T. for 5 bucks. Just for the historical factor of owning the worst game ever made.

I thought The Run was pretty good. I got it last month for $15, and I was very happy with it. A couple of spots were a little frustrating, but I loved the whole cross country factor.
I only wish it had split screen.
For $5, I would stop listening to others and at least try it.

 

[imacjenn]

Does ordering it for in-store pickup lock it in at the sale price? So if it takes me a few days to pick it up in-store, it'll still be $4.99, right?

Yeah it does. They send you a confirmation email telling you what day to pick it up by or it will be cancelled. They gave me until tomorrow.

 

[cancerman1120]

WTF? Mods erasing responses to someone complaining about the deal but not the complainers post? Someone needs to stop this bs censorship.

 

[Rsmobile]

Bought Neverdead but happy to let this slip through my fingers. That is a powerful statement. Of what? I don't know.

 

[flybrione]

It sucked they didn't have it available for pickup for 360 anywhere near me.
So I decided to check on the PS3 and they had it down the street from my office so I ordered a copy. I just really have a hard time passing up a game for $5.

 

[Jodou]

Looks like I need to flip a 360 copy to GS for a $6 PUR renewal. Works for me!

 

[Geco17]

Thanks OP! I was a bit iffy on this, but once I saw 4 available stores around go down to 2 in a matter of minutes of updating stock again, I pulled the trigger.

 

[warboss zorbag]

Grabbed my copy 45 mins after opening, only 2 left . There were like a dozen yesterday.
Worried everyone in my area is finally wising up to the awesome best buy deals.

Or the legendary El Hoardo stopped before me...

 

[tylerh1701]

Damn, 30 miles away is my closest one, I guess I'll just pass. I didn't think this would be such a hot seller.

 

[mrclutch]

[quote name='GaMeR_2007']Yeah it does. They send you a confirmation email telling you what day to pick it up by or it will be cancelled. They gave me until tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
You always get 7 days for in store pick up. I think you are looking at the day and not the date.

 

[warboss zorbag]

Seems people are buying piles of this.
It doesn't trade that high right?
Is there really any money to be made on hoarding piles of the Run?

 

[Gameboy415]

Well consider me confused...

I checked the online stock locator last night and every store in my area had NFS in stock.
Checking it now says that it is UNAVAILABLE at every store?!

The stores are opening right now (10AM) so I seriously doubt every store sold out last night.
I'm heading there to pick up Kingdoms of Amalur today anyway so I guess I'll find out soon enough. :S

They probably all did in-store pick up over the night. I know that's what I did. Only 1 store around me had it in-stock, so I jumped on that. I would imagine they were probably already running low considering this same game was the DOTD not that long ago.
