Fallout 3 CE $59.99 @ Best Buy, 360 & PS3

[omyard]

Not sure if this is good for in-store or not. Call ahead or do an in-store pick-up.

360: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8873007&type=product&id=1210379087047

PS3: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8873034&type=product&id=1210379087109

Sorry if this is old, but I don't recall seeing this posted.

Damn, you beat me to it. I was just getting ready to post this.
It IS also in store. I just got the 360 version earlier today.

I think this is actually a mark down, because it's not in their ad and it didn't say "As advertised" on this price sticker.
So I'm pretty sure this is actual price now for as long as they have them. I'm just glad I was patient on this one.

but the standard edition isnt discounted?

 

[Vlad Impaler7]

Nope the standard edition is still $59.99 as well(both PS3 and 360). So if you're planning on buying it now you might as well get the CE.

Edit: looks like Target has the standard edition for $39.00 both PS3 and 360. But that's an ad price for this week

Maybe a universal drop? Both Circuit City and Amazon also have the CE for this price.

Saw this in-store last night.

 

[roguejedi5]

It looks like a semi-universal drop since buy.com still has it for $77. I would rather buy it from bestbuy, since i have a $20 RZ coupon.

 

[JaroldL]

still contemplating whether i should either get the 360 or ps3 version.

 

[machindo]

Go with the Xbox version. I hear the Playstation version is horrendous.

 

[saldogg]

360 version will have DLC in jan, feb and march... none for ps3

 

[Mastershredder]

Howso? I just picked it up for the PS3 the other day but haven't opened it yet.

They patched some of the initial problems on the PS3 edition. (Still waiting on the patch to fix gameplay problems)


I would normally say whichever controller you are more comfortable with, but in this case the 360 version gets the nod because of the exclusive DLC.

I have the PS3 version and the only problem I encountered was sometimes the game would freeze up. Sometimes if I waited a minute or so it would go back to the game, other times I would have to reset. That was the only problem I encountered. I put over 80 hours of time into the game and played it to completion.

I didn't play the 360 or PC version, but from what I understand they have bugs as well. Bethesda is known for their games being full of bugs and over time they patch them.

I've played a lot of Bethesda games including Morrowind and Oblivion, so I can handle "Bethesda glitches" I just wanted to make sure this game wasn't crippled before I opened it. Thanks for the info.
