Best Buy DotD: Tomb Raider PS3/360 9.99

But where's the price for GCU members?!  We're the only people that matter.

Good thing I have a dozen copies of it at the moment.

 
This is a super, awesome deal!!!

I grabbed this during BF from Amazon for $15, but it was the version with artbook in a bigger box.  If this is the same version, an even more awesome deal!  Most importantly, it's a really killer game.  IMO, great gameplay mechanics, graphics, sound, and loving the story so far.

 
I might get another copy so I could have one sealed. But anyway I would recommend this game to everyone and on whatever system you want.

Oh yea, where is your pic for the cult of croft from that AWD bonanza a while back. After that 40+pages increase, it may have been there. Also to input, I think this is the lowest I have seen retail and even better for GCU if you have it. Gamestop had it for $10 a while back and I picked it up then

Still waiting on a pair of them to get here, then I'll take them all out for a photo shoot.

 
3 and counting. The nights still early, I say we'll see a few more pop up.

Gotta pick up a flash drive tomorrow so I may impulse buy a PS3 copy if its in-store. Dunno why most of the games show up as unavailable in the stores around me now.

 
Ehhh why not! I'm in for one! Beat this on 360 earlier last year....loved the game. For this price, with GCU and free shipping through elite I will buy again for ps3 and now get the trophies. Totally worth $7.99 (with GCU...)
 
I love this game.  So much better than the first 3 Uncharted games (2 was pretty damn good though).

 
I know this IS CAG but is the ps4 version worth getting now? I want it but I got the CE last week for 6.50 lol
If you have a PS4 and haven't played TR yet then yes. It really looks impressive. I would probably wait a little bit though since I could see a sale coming up on it as the other games start hitting.

 
I played and beat PS3 version, but I just saw IGN Comparison video on my ps4 and 60fps does make difference.  When I was watching the comparison video on the PC I couldn't see difference between 30fps and 60fps, I just turned on IGN app on my PS4 and they had comparison video on there so I watched it on TV using PS4 and I can clearly see the difference between 30fps and 60fps. Now I see why people are going crazy over 60fps. lol

 
Anyone know if Bestbuy will have PS4 version in the store today?  Website is showing 2/04 for the release date and I think maybe Bestbuy is delaying PS4 version so they can get rid of PS3 version.   Gamestop started selling PS4 version on 24th and official release date is 28th.  What's up with Bestbuy delaying the game until  2/04?   They delay the ps4 version and put PS3 version  on DOTD so they can get rid of it before they start selling the new version? lol  Something's going on here.

 
7.99 is a sweet price but I've already completed this game. Will wait for a $20/30 ps4 price drop

Thanks. I know I'm gonna have a blast playing through it again. I honestly can say if I had known the experience I was gonna get beforehand, I actually might've paid retail for it back when it first came out.
I'd burn a RZ Cert over Amazon GC on a game just because Amazon can be used on many more items. Just my preference.

Yeah, buy one and keep it sealed. Might be worth $10 30 years from now. Might make $3 on a mass produced game. LOL

 
Thanks for the heads up!

I just happened to have a $10 certificate to Best Buy so getting the game for free, can't really argue with that. Though I did have to add that stupid 2-year warranty to my order for $1.99 to bring the total above the listed $9.99. :)

Still, Tomb Raider, a game I've wanted to play for less than $3.00? Awesome!

Does anybody know what the trade in value would be for this game with the 100% trade in promo going on?
 
Damn out of stock in my local. Does anybody know if this game got greatest hits treatment. I don't want a ugly red case.

It's $4x100%=$8 or $8.40 with GCU.

In the future you can find this out yourself by visiting: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcat17093&type=page

Currently the Search is sort of broken as you can't enter spaces or special characters, but for this example I was able to just type "tomb". The search will show you the base values so you have to do the bonus math yourself.
 
Finally!!!

Been waiting on this price since gamefly sale and after gamestop cancelled my $10 copy they had on sale, I had all but given up.

I don't know why either, but this has happened to me before with games on sale as part of a DotD. Keep refreshing, and sometime around noonish they should magically come back in stock. Just because it says the game is out of stock on the website doesn't mean that they don't have a thousand copies in the store.

Having just played through this game last weekend, it's totally worth $10. I haven't played any of the Uncharted games, but it felt like what those games have been billed as, plus it's got an excellent story.

 
Serves me right not being around when this first popped uo.
I remember it vividly when Kid Icarus Uprising went on sale. The website said unavailable even though every store in my area had plenty of copies. Then (around this time) suddenly it was available for store-pickup online. Assuming El Hoardo hasn't been around or some moronic manager hasn't moved the entire stock to the back room, most stores should still have the game in stock. But, this is Best Buy we are talking about, I wouldn't put it past most managers TO move stock into the back until this "deal" is over.

Yeah, it's annoying that they are using sleazy methods like that to force you to drive to the store today as opposed to shipping, but this is nothing new. Hopefully I can get off in time to grab a copy for myself.....

Maybe your area is like this but my area is legit out of stock. The BBs in my county and neighboring counties have low stock due to the holiday season and it seems as though they are not restocking games. They have low stock on most of the games they do have with exceptions like the $19.99 stickered games that they have 30 copies of each. I'm in the stores often and know what they have and don't have. I got TR price matched at Target for my son. Would have preferred GCU discount and I had BB credit but oh well. I already plat'd the game and sold, this one is for him to keep.
 
GOTY version is coming Feb 4. This must be how they dump their old copies. This version should be going for $5

Ignoring everything else, the idea of them having low stock due to the holidays is absurd. Xmas ended over a month ago. If they were gonna restock, they've had ample opportunity to do so.

 
Good deal. From what I've played so far, the game is good.

I picked up the Steelbook version from Target when they had that issue where you could combine price-match + pre-order a game deal to save so much and got it for $1.  :)

 
DLC is only multiplayer right? and no dlc trophies? I saw this online last night but couldn't order it cuz my computer is down and ps3 can't order off bestbuy.com, only amazon.com. It would be great if amazon price matched this cuz bestbuy already sold out. 

 
anyone know off hand (reveiwers/link) if the PS3 GOTY release will work with the regulare games saves?

I started playing my $6.50 awd copy over lunch and this game's good. I would like to play the ps4 version now but I started a gamefly trial to get it. I just can't pay $65 for a game when I payed $6.50 for the same thing with a little bit less good graphics.

Exactly. The stores around here sold out of product and will not replenish, therefore when the online says Unavailable it is the truth in my area(vs a shady manager pulling stock). Clearance games have been and will be harder to find at BB for me going forward. Never had any trouble finding clearance/low sales games prior to next-gen systems coming out. For a long time, seemed like I was at my BB everyday or at least every week picking up something cheap. All 4 BB within 30 minutes of me have been out of any item that has been a good deal in January. I know cause I checked them all.
