[Vap]

Thanks guys. I got 1 for the 360 and one for the ps3.

 

[Midori Monkey]

Whoa thanks, was actually hoping to find a deal on a racer

 

[Sonne]

CAG's mentaility:

Super low price on game that no one thought twice about: Buy 4 copies.

In for one, because I like short games. No really. I love the feeling of beating something in a sitting, it's like a good movie.

And I need more Christina Hendricks in my life.

 

[kouleefoh]

Got one to play frisbee

 

[thejnc]

Ordered a 360 version with the free shipping. Can't beat not having to go to the store.

 

[PancakesAreLove]

[quote name='Kablasia']Anyone play the online on this? Is it any good? might get a copy and one for my brother if the online is fun.[/QUOTE]

I heard it isn't as good as the previous installations and not as good as the other racing games but I heard it is decent. If you don't have high standards for racing games, then it should be fun.

 

[MunchnOnDoritos]

What the, I ordered for Store Pick-Up and I just received an email stating my items are going to be shipped to the store but then it says my estimated pick-up date is the 17...tomorrow. Has anyone ever had anything like this?

 

[Monsta Mack]

Gamestop TIV is still $7 so you'll get some extra $ with TIV bonus down the road.

I was tempted but heard this is the worst NFS game ever from multiple reviews so I'll pass. I'll stick with Hot Pursuit for $10.

[/QUOTE]

The store already has it in stock. An RSA will pull it in the morning and leave it up front with the other orders. Why would they send one out when they have copies already?

 

[CheapLikeAFox]

Ordered three for shipping. Hope they ship. MP here we come.

I know, I thought that was weird. I've ordered a ton from Best Buy recently and I never came across this, which is why I was trippin' out. Thanks though.

 

[TKSJOHN]

picked one up for ps3 and xbox 360 with free shipping on both!!!

In for one for the 360. Thanks for the post.

To everybody asking about flipping: according to the TIV on the GS thread, the trade in values are $8 for the PS3 and $10 for the Xbox. If you add the 10% PUR bonus and 30% bonus, you are making a 250% ROI to GS credit.

 

[panda911]

Any $5-6 filler to cross the $50 threshold for in-store pickup. I'm grabbing Amalur and the run but even if I get both versions, it's 3 pennies short.

 

[scottman]

I wonder if they even ran out of limited editions yet.

 

[Kenshindono]

anyone know if the 360 or ps3 version is superior for this?

Goddamnit.

Do any of you people actually play games anymore?

 

[PancakesAreLove]

[quote name='Kenshindono']anyone know if the 360 or ps3 version is superior for this?[/QUOTE]
Xbox seems to have a slightly higher Metacritic rating if that helps any. 68:64

 

[eXiON]

Thanks OP! Snagged one for PS3, figure I'd finally give The Run a try.. whenever I get to it that is.

Lol seems its going to be a busy week for flippers, the price will probably fall down to $10 from desperate flippers.

 

[y2jd]

lol I only have walmart in my area.. no place to flip I do play

 

[ldsdrive]

[quote name='Kenshindono']anyone know if the 360 or ps3 version is superior for this?[/QUOTE]

I have it for both and the PS3 version seems to run better during cutscenes with less screen tearing but they're pretty the same during gameplay.

yeah but how old is the reported tiv?

 

[MPoWeRM3]

[quote name='Kenshindono']anyone know if the 360 or ps3 version is superior for this?[/QUOTE]

If you play racing games with the pad, 360 is always better due to proper triggers. And if you are talking about graphics, it's usually better on the 360 as well unless it's a Criterion NFS which this one isn't.

Common, it can't be worse than Pro Street.

Need for Speed: The Run - $8 (5/10/12)

that was a long time ago for a gamestop tiv. knowing gamestop, it probably plummeted to $0.25 by now.

 

[PublikDefender]

[quote name='anarchyoblivion']Allegedly, he called today.[/QUOTE]
oh, ok. from the way he worded it, it sounded like he just looked it up in the gamestop thread.

 

[hereon]

There aren't many games I won't buy for 5 bucks, it'll look nice in the backlog :lol:

 

[lRolLlLilN]

Thank you CAGs! Picked up a Ps3 and Xbox version

 

[TooPoor]

Even with $8.8 GS TiV it is obviously not worth it
$5 + Tax + GAS is around, what, $7+?

BBY Credit -> GS Credit is not a good deal
Cash -> GS credit is ridiculous, there are numerous places you can buy GS giftcards at 20% off

 

[ChunLiBarbie]

[quote name='PublikDefender']yeah but how old is the reported tiv?[/QUOTE]

Supposedly, yesterday. I was reading the other thread.

 

[ashtonreeves]

thank you everyone here @ cag

I bought 2 copies free shipping & no tax

1 for ps3 (for my girl-friend & me)
1 for xbox (for my uncle or I'll sell it if he don't want it)

 

[Donutkid2222]

thanks yo! Haven't played a racing game in a while, read that it sucks but like others have said for $5, its a ok!

It's advantageous to people like myself; I live in a dense area where, in many cases, the BB and GS is within walking distance. The value is also 40% with PUR and the purchase of a used game or steam card (game can be a .50 game as well). The turnaround on two copies will be around $25 with $10 invested. I'm using it to fund my Steam account, so it behooves me to flip as I would have spent cash on Steam anyways.

There's a 40%? Didn't read about that, now you sparked my interest :/
But I'm only free during weekends, and I guess by the weekend the TiV would have tanked.

You do realize that's totally irrelevant? The reviews are culminated from DIFFERENT sites and mags across the globe. So the Xbox version will get reviewed by OXM and the PS3 version by OPM. They don't review both versions.

Anyway, everything I've read said the PS3 version was the lead version, had sharper graphics and better shading. Plus it comes with extra cars and extra events.

 

[packt]

got one thx

 

[tmw214]

Grabbed one for 360. Really surprised these are available for shipping

Thanks OP!

 

[ZiggyGod]

Picked up a copy for the 360 w/ in-store pickup. Even if the game sucks, I wont be complaining since it only cost me $5.34 lol

Thanks for the heads up OP.

 

[KneeKnee]

Got a PS3 version. Thanks guys. Never pass up a $5 game.
