Wow, plus "Bonus - Purchase this game and receive a code good for $10 off your next online purchase. Limited time offer. Only available online at GameStop.com"

I think I'm gonna bite...

Thanks OP!
 
[quote name='myl0r']wow, is this an "Assassin's Creed 2 type" sale? or is this going to be a for real price drop?[/QUOTE]

Probably an ACII type drop. Used is still 49.99

could be. But when AC2 dropped, it took an extra day for the used to drop, then it went right back up once the deal was over.
I won't mind if this stays low, because then the Goozex price will hopefully drop lower and I might pick it up then, but at the same time a permanent drop might point to lagging sales for THQ

the extra $10 code is intriguing, do we know if it has some type of limitation/catch?

it's hard to tell though, they actually dropped ACII's used price which led some to believe it was permanent since they usually leave the used price alone
 
Absolutely a solid purchase at $39.99. Game was so GOOD.

I would bite but i already 1000G with a Gamefly rental.

I believe DLC is coming for the game, i will definitely purchase it when that drops.:)
 
Not that uncommon. New $60 games get dropped to $50 sometimes $40 all the time now.

Darksiders sold over 500k copies it's first 2 weeks. Not bad for new developers/new IP. This game was excellent, I highly recommend it for anyone who likes adventure/action games.
 
upon further searching, I'm guessing this is a temporary sale, not a permanent price drop. Gamestop also dropped the price on L4D2(again! to $39.99), Divinity to $39.99, and CODMW2 to $49.99
most likely part of that sale

edit-although on further thought, I'm still confused. The used prices for L4D2 and Divinity are both adjusted already. CODMW2's used price is still $49.99(online, $54.99 instore). Logic is out the window for me now
 
Thanks OP. I've been looking forward to this game for awhile. Since I missed the release, I figure I will wait for the price drop and this does it. The additional bonus is nice... even tho I don't shop at gamestop often, I am sure they will have some exclusive bonus somewhere down the line that I must have and I can use the $10 then.
 
[quote name='CheapLikeAFox']wow. Is this one of the fastest price drops ever?[/QUOTE]


the fastest ever?
the game is good, $4o is a good price
if you have a large backlog - wait

$42.99 at amazon.com

This game is selling well enough to warrant a sequel, which was recently announced, and the game's ending totally sets up for its sequel to kick ass.

Darksiders is definitely a lot of fun. It borrows a lot from a number of different games namely: Zelda Ocarina of Time, God of War, Portal, and even more I'm sure, but the way everything works together is so very polished. I would recommend it.

P.S. The exploding stake gun featured in this game is one of the most bad ass video game guns ever!
 
Does anyone know how Long this sale will last? I waiting for my 8-9 games to come in from goozex so I can use the trade 7/extra $50. Also how long is that extra 10 for future purchase? Is that the "daily deal"?
 
Nice but I'm going to wait for it to hit $20 or less. With ME2, Bioshock 2 and God of War III there is no time for anything else!!
 
Does anyone know if the price drop is valid in-store as well?

Would like to play this tonight, but the $10 off a future purchase for buying on-line is a pretty sweet bonus.
 
I'm surprised this dropped so fast. I heard it sold well and they were already considering a sequel?

Generally good reviews and It's 20+ hours in length I believe?

Yes, I can see that. that doesn't say anything about this being a universal price drop.

You didn't mention any "universal" when I was trying to answer your question.
 
why is the price dropping so fast

it's one of the best games ive played in a year.
it's like god of war meets legion hehe.

i asked if it was a real price drop or a gamestop sale. if it was real, then it would be universal.

Sale = lasts for promotion dates.
Price drop = lasts until it hits another price drop.
 
[quote name='ssjmichael']OP (or a mod) can you add the FEB10OFF and SAVER codes to the first post. It's really $35.99 shipped after those![/QUOTE]

How could you use SAVER coupon? 15% off any new, in-stock Wii or DS title. May not be combined with other offers. Expires 2/11/10 11:59PM

This is not a DS or Wii title.

Also, how would it be $35.99 shipped? I just tried ordering this and it came out to $44.99 after tax/shipping.

actually saver is just a free shipping coupon no? I think shipping is free anyway so that one isn't needed. the other takes off 10%

I was able to get the free shipping (discount of $2.99), not sure if it was from the SAVER coupon or not though.

yes, he knows. but he was asking if anyone knew which one it was(temp or permanent). all you did to answer him was quote the website, which he could see. problem is, even when something goes on temporary sale on gamestop.com, it still lists it as a "Price Drop", so it really didn't answer anything
I believe that is what Wario64 is saying
