I still can't believe I missed out on The Darkness II for $12.

You saved $12 though...

lol where the hell were u? i even got an extra copy for a cag that missed out just in case.. too bad i already sent it out to someone.

 

[mrclutch]

Anybody see anything yet?

 

[Prota]

Hey, for anyone who got the limited edition, did it come in a 3D box case? I saw an unboxing video which showed the box, but mine never came in it.

 

[jiggyteddy]

Did you actually "miss" it? No offense, but you're always here.

[quote name='Prota']Hey, for anyone who got the limited edition, did it come in a 3D box case? I saw an unboxing video which showed the box, but mine never came in it.[/QUOTE]

Nope...just the case with "LIMITED EDITION" printed at the top of the cover art. All the copies I saw in-store were the same.

[quote name='technicalstylez']lol where the hell were u? i even got an extra copy for a cag that missed out just in case.. too bad i already sent it out to someone.[/QUOTE]
I was around, but I figured the DOTD would more than likely be for something I'd have zero interest in.
[quote name='jiggyteddy']Did you actually "miss" it? No offense, but you're always here.[/QUOTE]
Yeah. But like I said, I figured the DOTD was gonna be for some 3DS game or something and didn't bother checking the thread or somehow didn't see it. As for always being here, I have my PC on 24/7 and I'm logged into CAG always on it, but I'm not always in front of it. Case in point: When I missed the penny Amazon Warehouse Deals games cuz I decided to watch tv that Saturday night.#

Thanks for the quick response. I was considering cracking it open, but when I saw that I decided to wait and hear back from fellow CAGs.

 

[KyleGamgee]

CAG's Price Tracker sent me an email this morning telling me that Halo 3: ODST had dropped under $10.

$9.99 at Best Buy http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Halo+3:+ODST+-+Xbox+360/9254111.p?id=1218069253816&skuId=9254111

i hope there is some good games on dotd tonight

 

[mrclutch]

So nothing again today?

 

[sninh]

nothing today

 

[MochaRaf]

For those of you who purchased the Udraw tablet with instant artist, was your copy used?

I bought one for Xbox 360 for myself and one for PS3 for my brother, and both copies had the safety seal on the package cut open. The Xbox version was missing the instant artist game and the PS3 version didn't have the clear plastic wrapping around it. I know I bought the product early in the morning, but my impression was that the product was new and in original condition?

Did you get them shipped? In-store pickup? Self pickup in-store?.

I did in-store pickup and it was new as it should be

My brother had actually picked them up for me, I called three local stores and all of them said that every copy they have has the security seal removed and the boxes are banged up... The manager told me that this is how they received their shipment... If I would have known that I would have just selected shipping in the first place, I am definitely thinking of calling customer service to see if they can ship me unopened ones.

Same goes for the games I picked up, pictonary for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 as well as a copy of penguins of Madagascar for wii, none had safety wrapping around it... I am seriously starting to think that they are trying to get rid of their used products and pass it off as new...

 

[fitzcain]

havent picked mine up yet, this happen to anyone else? I'm gonna check it before i sign for it.......

 

[kayne2000]

mine were brand new. you probably just had bad luck

 

[jiggyteddy]

Mine were all new as expected. Ordered PS3 version with Pictionary and Marvel.

I ordered online with in store pick up.

The original tablet package they wanted to give me had some thick tape, obviously was resealed. I asked if they had one without that tape, and they exchanged it for me.

 

[mrclutch]

I guess if there was going to be a deal today it would be up by now?

 

[GBAstar]

for me at least, the best buy site is down for maintenance

 

[YBX87]

the whole bb site is down for maintance

 

[mrclutch]

Maybe they have it down so they can tank all the TIVs

 

[YBX87]

[quote name='mrclutch']Maybe they have it down so they can tank all the TIVs[/QUOTE]

LOL. probably, a few weeks ago i started noticing them updating their tivs on monday night, so i started doing my trade-ins on sunday, instead of waiting in fear of tiv tanking

 

[Ferrari Racer]

Just got a DOTD email. No games.

 

[Bosamba]

Updated OP, it's Star Wars: The Old Republic for $19.99 today.

 

[Arachnicide]

Just an FYI to anyone thinking of getting this...SW is going free to play up to lvl 15. So buying the game is basically pointless now. Sounds like BB is just trying to dump what they have.

Edit: I see people saying trial to level 15, but I wonder how it will work. So maybe I was wrong about the disc being obsolete.

You do get one month free included with the price. I think the big news would be if they were giving away the client for the full version free, but somehow I doubt it. WoW has its own version of this trial thing (where you can play up to a certain level) and they're still selling the crap out of their WoW + a billion expansions.

 

[Lord Izanagi]

The DOTD page isn't working for me. All I'm seeing is the Ultimate Matrix Collection.

 

[megma42]

just search for Star Wars the old republic on the BB.com site

 

[TheBigAndy]

Man I love that they are doing good deals like these, I already got Madden 12 and BFBC2.... My back log is killing me though.

Check the first post in this thread. It is always updated with the DOTD, and a hyperlink to the product page on sale.

 

[Lemarfanz]

man, TOR is tempting at that price

 

[FlipSide]

For that price its a great way to experience SWTOR, yes its an MMO but everything can be done solo except some elite quests that you don't really need. Just play if for the story and don't bother with anything else.

 

[htz]

No deal today.

The additional games were new, but the front of the udraw tablet box had what looked like a box cutter cut across the front at the top. Cut was deep enough to cut open the very top of the included games wrapper. Game case was unharmed, disc intact, nothing else inside was cut. I'd complain if it was a gift for someone else, but I can just open it and give it to my kids.

 

[Investor]

That's true. But you still have to pay a monthly subscription in order to play it. How much is it again? $19.99 per month or something?

Just received my Darkness II Limited ed in the mail today. I was pleasantly surprised that I had received the Limited Edition in the mail instead of the regular edition I had ordered on Best Buy's webpage.

I think all the copies that BB stocked were the LE. I have yet to see a BB without an LE version. I just started playing it a few nights ago and almost through the campaign. So far I love it and was surprised because I just could not get into the first game. I might have to revisit that.

You get 30 days with the box copy, then $15/month. I think they should permanently drop the price considering the monthly fee. Try it out next month when you can play for free up to Level 15. Which actually is a fair amount of gameplay.

 

[boopman69]

Still haven't received my Darkness 2, my tracking shows it was transferred to the post office on the 2nd and the post office hasn't updated the status since. Has anybody else had to deal with this?

yea this is what kills me about MMO games. i cannot get behind paying a monthly fee for only ONE game. at least with xbox live i get that and a bunch of other crap and it can be had for 30-40 dollars usually it seems with all the sales on it.

Yeah but you're looking at it wrong. When I was really into World of Warcraft I barely played any other games. The secondary effect of that was that I also barely BOUGHT any other games. Even if you buy a new game just once a month or every couple months, it takes 4 months of WoW (or other $15/m MMO's) to equal just one other new game. So assuming you really enjoy your MMO and devote some time to it, you're actually saving money in the long run.

 

[kangchousa]

Ok, I went to my local BBY doing some game trade-ins and got some DOTD (or "Gaming Today Only Deals" - that's what they called it) info for next week. I'm not sure it's good for both in-store & online, but thought it'd be good to share with fellow CAGs. Unless otherwise noted, the deals are good for both PS3 & Xbox 360:

* 6/10 (Sun): Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City $17.99
* 6/11 (Mon): CoD Black Ops Controller $9.99 (SKU 1283446 & 1283428)
* 6/12 (Tue): Silent Hill Downpour $19.99
* 6/13 (Wed): Batman: Arkham City $19.99
* 6/14 (Thu): Tritton AX120 $19.99 (Xbox 360 ONLY, SKU 3641126)
* 6/15 (Fri): TERA Online $24.99 (PC, SKU 2750092)
* 6/16 (Sat): Rocketfish Premium Bluetooth Headset $19.99 (SKU 1151063)

I hope I'm not breaking any rules here...

Please tell me you're not trolling. If so, I may just have to buy RE, that COD controller(still have at least a pack and a half of AA batteries from the $1.56 CC clearance a few years ago) and even the new Silent Hill.

 

[iduncurr]

Those COD Controllers were DOTD previously...I'm trying to remember if it was $9.99 or $14.99 though.
If it's true I'm picking up the xbox version.
Possibly pick up Silent Hill as well just to try out.

I would say pick up RE as well but then I remember how shitty the shooting mechanics were on it and cringe. I suppose it depends on TIV.

Edit: Oh wow the COD controllers were actually 19.99.
So score if the controllers come up 9.99

yeah, that is complaint i heard about re, but for that price i will get it, might pickup silent hill downpur as well, is the silent hill game the most recent released silent hill game?

Yep, I hear it's actually better than Homecoming too, so at that pricepoint I'd also be willing to give it a shot. Same with RE:ORC
