There was a computer error this morning that caused new copies to go to $0.00 (it'll be fixed by tomorrow, and even if it's not, the employee has to manually price it to 59.99).. anyway, used copies of Dead Rising are 24.99. I dunno if that was part of the error too, but I grabbed a copy.

my one day off and all hell breaks loose.
 
[quote name='-Never4ever-']Hopefully it'll be going PH soon. And that those EGM rumors of online co-op turn out to be true.[/quote]
Ya, I'm hoping for it to go platinum as well. This seems like a good sign.

Ha, I know.. I went in to rent some movies for my mom and went to get them buffed and I saw DR used with a 24.99 sticker. No biggie, price mistakes happen all the time.. I check the PC.. wtf!?, it's real. Same with Star Trek Legacy.. 0.00 new. I dunno about the used price. It was the only used copy we had, I snatched it up quick. Couldn't resist it. 19.99 with my discount.. hell yeah, you can NOT beat that price!
 
Hey you should add the list of 360 price drops that the DR was on to the OP.

Dead Rising - 0.00 new (lol) 24.99 used
Star Trek Legacy - 0.00 new (lol again) 34.99 used
Tomb Raider Legend - 19.99 new 14.99 used
COD2 - 24.99 used

Two price drops for COD2 in a matter of days. Weird.
 
Didn't see the list of drops. 14.99 used for TR Legend 360? Not bad.

But wtf is corporate thinking.. I hate when they lower the price on a game two days in a row. Either lower it by ten bucks one day or leave it alone, cripes.
 
[quote name='animemaniac14']too bad my xbox 360 just got the red ring of DOOOOMMM!!!!! :( oh wait...i already have this game...that's right :whistle2:D[/quote]
Try turning on your system for two hours while wrapping a towel around it, it'll fix it. (at least for awhile and then you have to do it again) ....of course you could always just send it to M$ if you're under warranty.

BTW, Dead Rising is my absolute favorite 360 game.
 
I've been asked by my friend to hold off on this and wait for the multiplayer version to be available... so that I don't have to pay an additional $10 to get that feature.

So instead of paying $25 now and $10 later, you're just going to pay $60 later for something that MIGHT happen?

If it becomes a Platinum Hits with co-op, it's obviously not going to be $60.

And it's obviously not going to be $30 either.

If they do anything, they'll do it like they do the CoD's. They'll release a "Game of the Year" or a "Gold" edition for $60 that will include a free download code to do the co-op.

If it goes Platinum Hits it WILL be $30. The rumor is that it's going PH, not a GotY edition type thing.

Ok, I'll bite and agree that it's going PH (I had apparently forgotten THAT part of the rumor, so focused on the co-op), but I still don't think the co-op will be free.

But, if you take EGM's Quartermann's word as truth, then I'm wrong.
 
Good luck trying to find some used copies. I had to call about 7-8 Gamecrazy stores until I found one that had a copy. As soon as the employee that was ringing up my sale noticed that the game was $24.99, he immediately called the other employee so that he could go check if there were any more copies available. He then gave me a "You bastard, you already knew about this sale didn't you?" type of look. :)
 
Saw several at my local blockbuster today for 27.00 used. Wanted to do it...just kind of worried that the games will be butchered from continuous rentals.

:rofl:

Good deal for the game. I however haven't played it since November(got it during TRU B2G1 sale) because it is incredibly hard to read the text on a SDTV.
 
So anyways i go out of my way to stop by Gamecrazy for a copy of Tombraider cuz i've been wanting to play it but no way am i gonna pay full price and then beat the game within a day or two and have wasted all that cash. So when i saw the $15 price i walked in and asked if they had a used copy, he says yeah and hands me a copy which says $25 or MVP price is $22, so i say i heard this is on sale for 15 bucks so is this price wrong, he says no, it's 25 for non-members and 22 for the MVP thing which i have no idea what that means. So i was like, frack it, if you are gonna be a big fat lazy 30 year old loser who works at gamecrazy and won't even price check it then i'm not gonna give you a penny. I fracking hate Gamecrazy....they remind me of another store, hmmmm, which one is it, oh yeah, Ebgames and Gamestop.
 
Tomb Raider on PS2 and XBOX dropped to $14.99.....not X360. Someone read a price change sheet wrong i guess. BTW.....GBA Micros are on sale for $50 NEW at GC right now too. Still don't think that's worth it, but if you gotta get one and haven't found one on clearance somewhere else yet, I guess it isn't bad.
 
I'll be sure to pick up a regular copy when it goes premium hits, I wouldn't be caught dead with one of those god awful premium hits game cases.

How did you grop it to $19.99? Is there a coupon on top of MVP?
Sorry for my ignorance!:roll:

Oh and just called my nearest store (4 complete copies at this time!)

I sold mine but would get it again if the rumor that they will be adding coop is announced.

Dead Rising + COOP would be awesome!
 
If you are thinking about getting Dead Rising, you might want to wait for a bit. They are going to release it as greatest hits and on that disc, they are going to have Live Co op...if you already have DR, you can purchase the extra content..for a price. Im going to wait, though that price is great.
 
I was driving by today and remembered this sale.

I walked in there, saw 3 used copies with the old sticker on it, grabbed one and took it to the counter to check.

The cashier told me he couldn't sell it to me.

I asked why.

He said that I wasn't a member so he couldn't sell it to me for the new price. He THEN tried to convince me to buy the membership, which, according to his logic was free (25+20=45=sticker).

I refused. He then asked if I had seen the price in their flyer. I said, "No, I read it on the internet."

After checking to see if I had ever traded something in, he finally sold it to me.

I hope he dies in a fire.

Wrong. 360 version is also 19.99 new and 14.99 used.
 
I saw Dead Rising clearly stickered for $22.xx MVP price yesterday. Was near mint, but I just picked one up at GameRush last week, so I passed.

As for derder's experience, you came across one of the many GC employees that likes to make up their own rules. Most of the time it's the store manager trying to push either pre-orders or MVP memberships on you. The board is littered with similar GC stories from other CAGs. Seems to happen too frequently to be an isolated incident.

Oh wow, I didn't hear this.. That would be cool, but would suck if we had to pay for it.. Brings back memories of the free multiplayer expansion for Postal 2.. :)

I hope they don't make it like Kameo where you both play Kameo..
Maybe in DR, I player will be Frank, and the other will be Hank. lol
I bet Capcom will do someothing stupid - like allow player 2 to be one of the rescued survivors.

If they allow 4 player co-op that would be sweet.. Imagine each player escorting 8 survivors w/weapons at a time.
 
I drove 30 miles over to the deptford NJ store to get it. Called ahead and had them hold the copy as soon as i read this post friday afternoon. when i got there he was like "you are lucky, the price just dropped to 25 today".

I think they had one copy left after I bought mine.

Can I put in an official request for updates on $4.99 used games? I want to know if any games become $4.99 ASAP :)

Oh believe me, if more drop, i'll be the one to post the list.

Yeah, I have checked three or four local stores.. NO ONE has used copies of Dead Rising anymore.. and oddly enough, everyone's out of Oblivion also, even though it's still 49.99 used/44.99 with MVP
 
Well Oblivion does have that new expansion pack comming out in the next few weeks. And thought Dead Rising was a pretty good game too. I need to get around to finishing it though...
 
Wow, so I'm the stupidest person on earth.

Had a long night / morning Saturday night / Sunday morning, and was going down to visit my Grandma, a trip that takes us past a Gamecrazy. I stopped in and it was living up to its name's sake on that Sunday afternoon, it was packed and insane in there. I grabbed a used copy of Dead Rising and went to the register. I felt bad for the clerk, 10 years olds were constantly asking him specific details about PS2 YuGiOh games, et al.

Well, with a growing line behind me and a stressed out clerk the game rang up $50, not $25. I figured rather than ask about the price or be a jerk and be "Oh, I don't want a game for the price it was stickered at!" I'd just buy it, and swing by later to return it.

On the way home last night I had my wife grab the game from the back seat to see how many days I had to get it back to the store (it's about 20 minutes from our house). "All used game sales final," she read. Great.

Stupid sleep depravation ruining my judgment.
 
Not sure why it'd ring up for $50.. it was in the system at $24.99. Still is, I think. I'll check later this morning. None of the deals at GC are YMMV, if it rins up at one price at one store, it rings up at that at all stores. Weird.

Another bit of info.. apparently the street date on God of War 2 has been removed and when GC gets it in, it'll be on sale.. i'll let everyone know when it's in, we're supposed to be "getting it early".. who knows when

If it's still that way later today maybe I'll run out there and try again and actually tell them it dropped in price, and see if I can get it price adjusted. Does GC do that? Is there anyway I can talk my way into returning it? ;)

Is there a possibility they don't update their POS until Mondays? Or is that automatic for GCs?

Good luck with any of that. I worked at gamecrazy for a time and they are THE strictest with used returns. Once they sell you something used, it's yours, they want nothing to do with it. As far as price adjusting, i never saw it happen, probably never will with those stores either.

Lesson learned- Avoid B&M Game Retail..

You can't return it, tell them it was defective and produce a receipt. You will get the full amount back.

DR used is still 24.99.

The POS updates nightly, when you close the register down for the day it sends all the information up to the corporate offices in Oregon. Once that's complete, all systems download the updated POS. A store cannot open unless it has the most up-to-date POS. Dead Rising new is actually still 0.00 in the system. It's still 24.99 used, and someone traded one in last night.

Someone also traded in a copy of Intelligent Qube for $.01 last night, so I guess they didn't know what they had. Glad I stopped by since I don't work again until Wednesday. Thanks for making me stop by, and I mean that quite literally!

Depends on the employee. I'd return it for him.
