I apologize if this has been posted, but I didn't see anything about it.

The 6AM Gold Box clue for today is: Roam the most morally bankrupt city in the world on the Nintendo DS.

GTA China Town Wars perhaps?

I posted this about an hour before the OP in the Deal/Shopping Discussion Forums because I didn't know if this would actually be much of a "deal" since we don't know the price yet.

[quote name='kodave']I didn't post this in the deals section because its not 100% yet and I don't know how much of a deal it'll even be, but the Amazon Lightning Deal for 6 AM PST (until 10 AM PST, or supplies run out) has this preview description:

I'm guessing that means Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.

Currently it's $29.99, it was $28.99 the day before, with the average price being $30.99 and the highest price at $33.99.

It dropped to $23.97 for one day back in May when it was the Deal of the Day.

So who knows what it may be in 5 1/2 hours.[/QUOTE]

These sort of things always get posted here. Typically the deal is good, even if the offering isn't.
 
Gotta be GTA.. It's selling for $30 now, so I'd imagine $20 is what they'll probably sell it for. It'd be tempting at that price, though I can probably wait for $15.

This is the same thought I had on it... I'd definitely bite at $15, but I can't imagine the discount would be that substantial. Was reading the DS thread about it, and see people like it... just wondering if it is long enough to warrant a $20 purchase for me. I think I saw someone say they beat it in 9 hours??

Yup... there it is for 19.98

over on gamefaqs

I beat it in exactly 12 hours and 36 minutes but I didn't speed through I did a lot of drug dealing on the side among other things so the reviewers are on crack you could theoretically power through in 6 hours i suppose if your good and have fast cars

Rated: +0 / -0

Thank you fro the info. Dag, that seems short to me... maybe I'm too used to RPGs. Replayability at all, in your opinion?
 
[quote name='rdogg1026']My prediction is $24.98

If it is not $24.98, First person to PM me gets a 48 hour XBL code.[/QUOTE]

The game is well worth $20. I didn't know you could even see how long you've been playing the game (must be hidden in stats somewhere), but when I played it non-stop for days, I went through at least 3 recharges with my DS, and I stopped playing once I beat the actual story, there's probably plenty of rampage missions and other bonus (read: waste of time) things to do that I don't bother with.

It's a bit on the easy side, but it's the most fun I've had on the DS possibly ever. It's not the highest rated game on the DS for nothing. It's a technical and gameplay winner through and through. If you've got prime or $5.02 filler already in your cart, I'd say buy it instead of waiting for the pricedrop. It's definitely worth it.

I decided to go ahead and bite, based on this. Thanks for your input :)
 
Briandadude, thanks for recommending the earbuds as filler. With $5 in MP3's included and the bonus of free shipping with the order this is a good deal all around.
