try a different computer? try it on your phone?

 

[ddp72984]

Weird thing, it appears as 11.99 only on my phone, but in the cart it appears at 29.99

Has anyone ordered it with it at 11.99?

i was able to successfully order it for instore pickup at 11.99. but i canceled my order haha.

 

[gantt]

Not interested in the deal, but for S&G I tried it in both Chrome and IE and it comes up $29.99.

Yeah. I got off my computer (didn't work in either chome or IE) went into the other room and used my girlfriends computer (chrome) and it worked first time.. about two hours ago.

 

[MR_E]

[quote name='antlp89']Yeah I figured it wouldn't be as good as Mario Kart, but no multiplayer?

Damn.

What were they thinking?[/QUOTE]

They don't exactly have the best track record with portable multiplayer. The psp version had multiplayer but no friends list. My friend and I each bought it specifically for the multiplayer and were kind of ticked when we found out we couldn't play together.

 

[kayne2000]

i really hope the trade in value holds. and if it does i assume i can trade in multiples of one game. is the limit still three?

 

[thisboywillbreak]

[quote name='DCpinoy']try a different computer? try it on your phone?[/QUOTE]

Chrome, Safari, Firefox, IE.
Tried it on my iPad and iPhone as well. Still a no go, really weird.

 

[gantt]

FWIW, regarding pricing, I've been going through some of the items from BB's Grads and Dads sale which is supposed to be in effect today (Friday), and none of the items are showing up at the advertised prices - so looks like there's a pricing issue broader than the VG DOTD.

Time to Turn On The Fun, BB. No, really. Turn it on. Thank you.

 

[ddp72984]

It's live.

Thanks again for the alert!

 

[MIX_MASTER_ICE]

Just ordered one for $11.99 no problem. FWIW, I'm using Firefox browser. Great price and I'm surprised they heavily discounted a very decent Vita game.

 

[PaulDE01]

Showed up as 11.99 for me. Using IE.

 

[Rodster]

Thanks OP, snagged a copy of Modnation Racers. I was even more surprised that this was eligible for free shipping.

 

[io]

Tempted, even though I don't have a Vita yet .

 

[Saix_XIII]

I price matched WM a few weeks back for $20...time to get $8 refund...

 

[brentgolden]

Awesome!

 

[Fighterspledge]

Got one. Thanks OP.

 

[DannKnee]

Never been interested in this game but I'm willing to give it a try for $12. Thanks OP!

 

[handsomepete]

Snagged one. Now I have something to do with all of those Near gifts I've got for it. Thanks op!

 

[Seventh]

Definitely worth it for 11.99 USD. Picked it up for my brother in anticipation for his big graduation gift he will be getting this weekend.

 

[dragonjud]

Wow.
I was never impressed with the ps3 version for its 'even worse than Mario Kart' rubber band A.I.
This seems to be a turd even in comparison to that. So, don't jump on it just 'cause it's cheap:
- 30 seconds or more wait time between races (for a cartridge based portable...ughh!)
- Framerate drops to nearly unplayable when many characters on screen (happens quite often)
- No online play
- wonky touch screen controls.

 

[gundie]

Never had the interest in this game, but got my attention at $12. After reading several reviews, I think I'll skip even at $12.

 

[Monoxide1986]

Trades in at 11 so with bonuses could turn 12 into 23.19. Hmmmm.....

 

[UNC5052]

Yesterday, I traded my copy I got for $9.99 at Target from their trade in deal to Best Buy for $23.10. I enjoyed the game and I bought another copy at this price. While it's no Mario Kart, the game is fun and the customization and track building is excellent.

 

[mrclutch]

I've got to go two Best Buy's today anyway.one to pick up my Fallout NV and the other to pick up DA 2. I might take my free 10 bucks since i was going anyway.

 

[NINJA V]

a best buy emp checked the computer for deals for me and said resident evil raccoon city will be on sale sunday for $18! not to mention triton headset and the call of duty controllers later in the week next week. just to give you guys a heads up.

Is raccoon city worth $18?

 

[SInX4Lyfe]

Anyone tried buying modnation racers @ store and trade it in the same day?

 

[Solder]

[quote name='cheapbrokegamer']Is raccoon city worth $18?[/QUOTE]

Posted this in the coupon thread but will repost.

Sorta interested in RE: ORC, but after asking 2 RL friends who have it if they'd want to run through the campaign, neither was interested. "Not even for the achievements bro."



One did text me back saying "I'll run through the campaign with you if you really want to, since we can knock it out in 3-4 hours tops. But no multiplayer."

Sucks, I was hyped about this till release and was scared off by bad reviews.

 

[Asadi]

11 dollar TIV.. +100%.. 22 dollar TIV.. I may use some of my TIV i got earlier so I can net an extra 9-10 bucks off this. Thanks OP!

 

[mrclutch]

[quote name='SInX4Lyfe']Anyone tried buying modnation racers @ store and trade it in the same day?[/QUOTE]


Wow. Really?

 

[strait edge follower]

I'm going to use a little gs credit to get a game to trade in along with my mlb 11 the show to bestbuy to cover the cost of this game and then flip modnation back for over 20 bucks. When I read that operation racoon city is going on sale for 18 bucks this is a no brainer to do. It covers the cost of resident evil and I have extra left over

 

[SInX4Lyfe]

[quote name='mrclutch']Wow. Really?[/QUOTE]

Sort of, didn't say same transcation or on the spot.

 

[Untamed Sorrow]

[quote name='cheapbrokegamer']is raccoon city worth $18?[/quote]

< $10 imo

If it holds till lunch, I'm doing this. Pick up at customer service, trade in at gamers kiosk.

 

[strait edge follower]

I'm gonna buy a few copys today lmao

 

[Gabrius]

I just bought one and immediately traded it in, and what of it?

-I didn't take the last copy
-I ran my plan by the rep before I even purchased it... she not only said it was OK, but was going to do the same thing herself
-how is this any different than buying a cheap game at another store, running over to BB immediately and trading it in for double or more than what you paid (hint: it's not)

SInX4Lyfe: go ahead and do what you want to. Just don't buy the last copy - be kind to your fellow gamers.

 

[Link127]

[quote name='strait edge follower']I'm gonna buy a few copys today lmao[/QUOTE]

not sure if you are joking, but...

didn't they reduce it to a limit of 1 of the same game per year?

 

[Gabrius]

The rep I dealt with told me the limit was either 2 or 3.

 

[SInX4Lyfe]

[quote name='Link127']not sure if you are joking, but...

I think they said it depends on the bestbuy people.. But i wouldn't risk it. I traded 2 mw3 ps3 copies the same day. (my friend was with me and one copy was his but he was underage so i had to do it for him) and i had no problem

 

[confoosious]

[quote name='Link127']not sure if you are joking, but...

A BB rep on their forums said it was 3 but they've been known to be wrong before. Either way, I think it's basically a pattern of abuse that will get you banned. The computer won't block the transaction.

Also,strait edge follower likes to brag a lot about his BB trade in exploits so take his post with a grain of salt.

 

[Saix_XIII]

Checked this thread at 6AM when I was half asleep and on a pain pill so I thought this was for Hot Shots Golf which I had BB.com PM Walmart. So I was going to call them to have them price adjust...glad I didn't do that.

I was annoyed for like 5 minutes, but then realized I paid $10 for this at Target after trading in 2 games I didn't need since I have newer versions of them.

I am actually enjoying this game, I just wish it had online.

 

[whoknows]

Too bad Best Buy didn't drop the TIV. Usually they're more on top of this kind of thing.

[quote name='whoknows']Too bad Best Buy didn't drop the TIV. Usually they're more on top of this kind of thing.[/QUOTE]

Dude shut up and stop trying to be the retail white knight.

Aside from one or two people El Hoardo-ing this deal, this is no different than going to Kmart, picking up a $4.50 copy of R&C, and going right to BB to trade it in for more double in TiV.... or let me guess - that's wrong in your eyes as well?!

 

[Psychonik]

RE: ORC is truly a great game just very misunderstood. The DLC should have made it in the full game IMO because it is rather short but there are also 6 characters with different abilities to play as and level up so the game begs to be replayed and it is very replayable. Also it does have multiplayer so idk wtf you're talking about.

Yes, very wrong.

 

[InvaderZim]

Sent this deal to a few people I know that bought the Vita and they have already sold them on ebay - lack of games.

 

[Gabrius]

[quote name='whoknows']Yes, very wrong.[/QUOTE]

Well, now at least I know who I'm talking to, and now have nothing more to add except keep fighting the fight for truth, justice, and the Lawful Good CaG Paladin way!!!!!

Now, how to spend the vile, wretched $23 in store credit that I just paid $12 for....
