[quote name='Azumangaman']Finished MUA2. I'll probably start the Legendary playthrough when I get a Juggernaut code. If I don't get the code, I'll play through it anyway. I had a freaking blast, but it was way too easy.[/QUOTE]

What level did you play on? (You chose pro-reg, right? You were talking about Iron Man...)
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']What level did you play on? (You chose pro-reg, right? You were talking about Iron Man...)[/QUOTE]
Super Hero and Pro-Reg. I think Iron Man's RT+A attack is glitched because I beat quite a few mini-bosses in a matter of seconds.
I got the no revival achievements as well, for Maps + Bosses.
I had a great time with it, so no real complaints. I'm looking forward to doing it again.
 
Has anyone else had an Amazon order that says Arrival Scan, but has '- - -' for its' location? Because I have an order that's been like that for 2 days, so I'm kind of worried.

That sounds like uh-oh.

I'm probably playing at the same level as you then... I tend to spam Wolverine's RT+A. Rape and pillage.
 
Amazon/ECA I LOVE YOU!!!

MW2 Hardened
Demon's Soul Deluxe
Uncharted 2
GoW Collection
Heavy Rain

$150 after 3xECA and two Amazon promos
And then after my Amazon credit..... pretty much nothing.

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Someone needs to teach me how to do this ECA thing -- I want 30% off the PS3 MW2 Hardened Edition. :|[/QUOTE]Only if you still have redeemed the old August codes available on your account (or a pending order in which you used one).

------

My friend wants a good co-op game.
Anyone think Borderlands is worth it? Argh, $58.99 again on Amazon.

how much is mw 2 hardened edition with 30% off?
didnt preorder it since i figured i need to burn my tru gcs on something(odst one expires a few days after mw2 comes out)

also thanks to eca i can ignore the tru b2g1 free since im already covered for brutal legend from the ea cash card deal and i just got batman for $37 so the only thing i could possibly want is nba 2k10 :lol:
 
Uncharted 2
Demons Souls
GOW Collection

Order Total: $120.77

I was only able to have two codes stack. 20% is good enough for me.

I would have bought Katamari, but they raised the hell out of the price. I'll wait 'til it's bargain bin.
 
[quote name='Nelo Ice']^
damn if i had a ps3 my cart would have been even more ridiculous :lol:[/QUOTE]
I stuck Final Fantasy Versus XIII in my 20% off order, even though I don't have a PS3. I figure it's at least 18 months from a US release, so by the time it comes around I may well have a PS3, and won't it be nice to have that 20% discount locked in. :)
 
[quote name='Maklershed']How are you guys doing this? Did you save some codes from last time? I have to re-pre-order MW2 for PS3 and 360.[/QUOTE]You have it pre-ordered for both?

How many open pre-orders do you have?
I had 6, each done separately.

I cancelled them all, ditched 1, and put the others back into my cart.
I had GB for Uncharted 2, but the extra 10% beats it anyway.

Once they're in your cart again, you'll notice the discount already given since the cancelled promos stay on your account.

Go to your ECA and grab a new code and apply it. That'll give you 20%.
If you had any of the older codes in there too, you'll get 30%
 
I have a lot of individual pre-orders, so I just re-did them all individually. You'll lose the discount if even just one of the items ships out before the others, so I avoid making larger, lump-sum orders. Now if other deals surface later, I still have pre-orders available to add them to.

What do you mean you "lose the discount"?
That doesn't make sense, the totals and discounts have already been set in the order.
 
If you have an order with all pre-orders and one item ships, you won't be able to cancel the remaining pre-orders and re-order with the discounts if, say, you wanted add another item to it.

Apparently, the discounts become tied to an order once the order ships, so even if just one item in a multi-item order is shipped, the discount will not carry back into your account if you decide to cancel the other items.
 
^o that
pretty sure i only had 2 or 3 codes remaining on my account so i added w/e i thought i would want in one huge order since i dont have enough codes to do them individually if i need to get the code back
 
[quote name='gunm']If you have an order with all pre-orders and one item ships, you won't be able to cancel the remaining pre-orders and re-order with the discounts if, say, you wanted add another item to it.[/QUOTE]Ah, I see.
Yeah, you have to plan it out. I won't be cancellng these 5 games.
And by putting them in 1 order, I've freed up 3 or 4 more of the old, old promos to use on something else if I wanted to.
 
I think he means "uses up" the discount. I.e., once one thing in the order has shipped, you can no longer cancel and re-do the order and retain the discount.

exactly what i did
but i can still cancel some of the games in my order and keep the promo for the other games correct?
edit:nvm

btw how many codes do u guys have? i stocked up on L codes but stupidly decided not to stock up on J codes :lol:
 
[quote name='Nelo Ice']exactly what i did

edit:nvm[/QUOTE]Yes, but as gunm was saying, you can only do this if none of the items have shipped yet.

I didn't get a huge stock or anything, maybe 4-5 of each.
Never thought they would stack. grrrr

One thing I found through trial and error is that once I made a single item pre-order with a code from one batch, I couldn't order a different item and retain the discount if I canceled. For example, I tried to switch from the PS3 to the 360 version of NBA 2K10 Anniversary edition, and it wouldn't allow me to carry over the discount to that item. Not sure if it's only an issue with that particular game, or if the code somehow ties into the item in the cart so you can only order that item again with the code.

k so my batman is in shipping soon does that mean if i cancel something else now the promo will be dead for my order?

Hmm, that's odd, because I've done that multiple times with various games.

[/QUOTE]Well, only going by what gunm said (i can't confirm), it's not that the discount is dead, it's that you shouldn't even be able to cancel one of the other items.
But I don't know for sure, I don't usually do multi-item orders like that.
 
[quote name='Nelo Ice']k so my batman is in shipping soon does that mean if i cancel something else now the promo will be dead for my order?[/QUOTE]



Batman will have the discount for sure, but now that the item is shipping, the order number is "live" and the discounts have been "locked" into that order, meaning, you won't retain them in your account for any new orders.

Yes, I tested this out already. :p



[quote name='dallow']Hmm, that's odd, because I've done that multiple times with various games.[/QUOTE]



Hm, may be an issue with that particular game then. I'm a little scared to try it out again now that one of the codes supposedly "expired".

o i get that i thought u meant like say i cancel tekken 6 in my order i wont get the discount applied to any of the other games i ordered since i canceled tekken 6

i understand the whole losing codes thing which is why i made a huge order since i barely have any to spare :lol:
 
So the post for the Toy's R Us B2G1F is up, Shrike is trying to hold back the 'if I buy X can I exchange it for Y later on" crowd at bay, and I'm wondering if anyone in the GGT think there's 3 games worth getting.

I posted that I was going to get Dirt 2, MUA 2 and Brutal Legend, but after posting I'm wondering if I want them enough to pay around $40 a piece when I still have a shed load of games to play.

if i didnt get in on deals for brutal legend and batman already then those 2 along with nba 2k10 would be the games id be getting at the b2g1

only other games i see worth getting would be odst and i guess need for speed shift
 
Right now, I'm actually getting a better deal @ amazon, so I'm not too sure what I'd get from TRU's B2G1. We only have 1 TRU in the state and the inventory is easily wiped during these kinds of sales.

yep thanks to amazon i'll be getting a ton of games for less than $40 on release
also cheapy should just change the best online retailer of the year award to best online retailer besides amazon :lol:
 
For the TRU thing, it's going to be Uncharted, Brutal Legend and Fallout 3: GOTY for me. Although a part of me thinks it's a bit too perfect.

Yeah, you ain't lying.

I already have Shift and ODST thanks to Amazon deals, I might give the TRU thing a miss this year, or look for 3 $19.99 games I can pick up or something.
 
I can think of maybe 2 that I could get at TRU...MUA2 and Dirt 2.

Anyone suggest anything else? I got pretty much every other major release between now and Oct. at an unbeatable price @ amazon. :p

Actually, I could probably still get a damn good price for those 2 games @ amazon too, if I really wanted. :p
 
I'm starting to think MUA 2 will drop fairly quickly, I think I can wait for it.

Dirt held its value quite well, so Dirt 2 may do as well, but I think it will end up being $40 on an Amazon DOTD or something before too long.
 
Yeah, people are going bonkers over the TRU deal, but I don't have any credit over there as Amazon's deals have been much better for me. I'll probably end up passing it over this year.
 
[quote name='zewone']Borderlands is going to be the shit.[/QUOTE]
Dammit, I was looking forward to agreeing with you on something. And then I saw "the" before shit... :cry: BUT, I'm sure it is something I'm going to have to play to get a full understanding on its qualities.

[quote name='gunm']Yeah, people are going bonkers over the TRU deal, but I don't have any credit over there as Amazon's deals have been much better for me. I'll probably end up passing it over this year.[/QUOTE]

Yea, TRU has been going crazy with good deals lately. I'm still confused why they gave me 15 bucks to buy Scribblenauts.
 
I know that Borderlands isn't a PS3 exclusive, but it does have other good qualities going for it. You should check out some previews.
 
[quote name='pete5883']I'm not doing the Exdeath trick. I also wasted about an hour of my life last night losing to a Sephiroth clone. I was a level higher than him, and he still destroyed me at will. He just dodges everything, even when he's just finished attacking.

I thought maybe that Cecil just sucked, but I played against him in Free mode later, and he hit me with everything that the bosses were easily avoiding. :bomb::bomb::bomb: @ this game.[/QUOTE]

Damn. Well, Seph is annoying, but he's a reaction character, so him dodging a lot is to be expected.

Losing to Cecil, though? Unless he stays in Paladin mode, he's super-easy.
 
Thanks for the info dallowbeegee

I'm not sure if I want borderlands for PC or 360 - PC is supposed to look worlds better, and it's cheaper.

when given the choice pc is usually the better option :cool:
 
I bought a ton of stuff this week, so far:

Bought $20 PSN Card, which I used to get Prinny + PQ: Practical Intelligence (I got more trade-in money for this a while ago, missed the game so badly). I'm tempted to buy more PSN Cards to buy more downloads on sale.

Bought MotorStorm: Arctic Edge on Monday, GT PSP download card today along with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 on PS3. I just went ahead and bought them at retail, easier on me.

I ended up working an extra hour today since I had a really busy day at work, so it's not really an issue (although I'm taking the weekend off, I'm pretty exhausted and just want to lay back playing games).

At least I have many games taken care of now. Next week I will only get Demon Souls + major purchase (new TV or PSP Go).
 
Anyone else get Bust-a-Move Live?

Not too many people playing online but I had some good matches. One guy disconnected as I was about to win though.

Controls are sloppy though. Had to get used to them.
 
Oh yeah, I forgot, I paid dallow for him to ship me Klonoa on Wii. How am I going to find time to play all of these games?

Speaking of the TRU sale, normally I walk away disappointed which is why I'm not considering it (although I live by more TRU locations now compared to before). Normally they would run out of what I want or just never stock what I want (except for a few games). Right now I rarely go to TRU these days because they might as well call it the Official Nintendo store. I have nothing against Nintendo, just that its pretty much mostly Wii/DS games there (same thing at Target at times). Best Buy, GameStop, etc. are a bit different.
 
[quote name='Mr. Beef']Damn. Well, Seph is annoying, but he's a reaction character, so him dodging a lot is to be expected.

Losing to Cecil, though? Unless he stays in Paladin mode, he's super-easy.[/QUOTE]
I didn't lose to Cecil, I just got hit by things from him that the computer dodged with ease. His little multi-shadow-ball actually hit me, whereas it would seem to just naturally miss the CPU - like they didn't even have to dodge it.
 
The price isn't all that bad to me, and I honestly don't care whether it plays UMDs or not. Main reason I'm buying is the smaller size + HDD + bluetooth. Only thing that sucks is I'll have to buy a new pair of headphones for it, but oh well, at least each of my PSPs will have their own headphones.

I did see the Go at Best Buy, but I need to wait until next week to buy it, unless I get an HDTV instead (I'm tempted to get a 1080p, 32" LG one I saw at Costco for $450).
 
Dissidia doesn't make a lot of sense.

$250 isn't just like "barely outside the price barrier for this thing" it's like "double the price I would deem acceptable for this thing"

It looks slick. I want another PSP just to play retail games on now that Sony's being a dick about CFW, so I can get Bonerstorm Portable.
 
UMDs and I'd be all over it too. Smaller than a DSi... :drool:

And I only found out a few days ago that you can sync a PS3 controller to it and play like that.

Someday.....
