Gamestop has used copies of R&C:GC for $35.
No new copies that I saw online.

EB has new copies for $40 online.

I hope I can get a $20 copy without the GH case.
 
Now to see if they'll let me combine a Rewards Zone certificate with a GGC. The RZ rules don't disallow it and it isn't a coupon per se...

I haven't had a problem doing that.
 
I already got Jak II for under $20 almost a year ago thanks to set of odd circumstances I don't quite recall. All the insanity sales start to blur into each other after a while. Anyways, after enjoying Jak & Daxter quite a lot Jak II was a huge disappointment. They tried so hard to make it more sophisticated but only succeeded in making it annoying. I especially got sick of seein gthe same cut scene for the umpteenth time because
i was having difficulty with the section immediately after. I don't mind having to struggle with part of a game but not being able to get around the cut scene made it torturous. I gave up and gone back to it since. Someday, I suppose.

If you really liked Jak & Daxter and would like a clone of that then pick up Ty the Tasmanian Tiger. Blatantly similar game but with some vital differences to make it interesting in its own right.

You're going to have a blast, man. The R&C series is my favorite (of all platformers) and GC is even better than the first.
 
i picked both up near release for $40, although my sister payed for half of both, since she likes watching me play them.
 
I saw this on IGN about a week ago. Socom II is going to become a GH title as well. I still haven't seen them around though.

When will TRU be doing this again?

Now, if only Sony would make Everquest:CON a GH...
 
[quote name='ayolykewhoa']Not sure if I want Jak II since I felt the 1st is overrated. R+C:GC is a great game though.[/quote]

You're gonna have a blast w/ Jak II -- it's hella hard, but very satisfying. I have a couple more hours to go to finish, and it's been more a struggle of finding time to play than actually wanting to -- it's a lot of fun.

I'll be pick up R&C once I actually do finish Jak II. Can't wait.
 
maybe i will but RandC GC again.... i accidently saved over my file with a new game one day :( :( :( i actually did the same thing with the original too! the menu starts on new game and i have the habit of jamming on the X button during openings LMAO! i was soooo pissed!
 
Didn't like Jak, but waiting for the R&C drop.
Good news!

A BB RZ cert is like a gift card, it's 'cash'. If they didn't let you use it with a coupon, I'd contest that.

Those of you who don't like GH--Assuming you can't find the non-GH version for 20 bucks, you'd rather pay 40 bucks for the current version, than the 'red stripe' GH version for 20?
 
So, Ratchet & Clank: Going comando is the same w/ Upcoming Ratchet & clank game. Only add with 4 players, online, and extra mini games right ??

That what i heard maybe i am wrong !!!

Just a warning: the weapons you get to transfer over are totally enwussened and in most cases have superior versions in the GC arsenal.

You do know that the price for Everquest:CON has dropped to $19.99 everywhere, right? I got it for $15 after GGC at BB. I have also seen in for $20 at EB and Gamestop.

Hm...I hope I saved mine : )
 
I've been waiting for this news since both games were originally released. Now I'm glad I had the restraint to wait. Both at once is sweet!
 
That sucks! - It toatally negates the reason for keeping a save file. whatever - I'm sure the game is still fun.

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been waiting for them to go GH. About time, too. The sequels come out this fall.

Any thoughts on Jak II? I'm worried about the supposedly insane difficulty. I get frustrated and discouraged easily when I replay the same part for more than 10 times.

Well, it is good for a skill point, I think, so you can't get 100% without it, but yeah, it's a letdown.

Err, insane difficulty? I played most of the way through the game, and there was only 1 area that I would call insanely difficult. Otherwise I never died more than a few times in any area. I guess it's not easy, but certainly nothing like Ninja Gaiden or anything :)
 
Thats old. I mean the fact that they are actually showing up in stores now. Which would mean its finally official. Ill rephrase. :)

Has anyone besides the poster seen them in stores as GH or just 19.99 yet?
 
I see. Apologies. I saw them at my local Target. I'm sure they'll start popping up all over soon enough.

:shock: That's pretty sad, Seal, especially since Going Commando makes it so that you don't even have to worry about saving.

I played through Going Commando a while back, though I never touched Ratchet 1. I love how the weapons give you so many choices on how to play. It's also tweaked so, if you're struggling at a certain point, it usually makes it easier for you. Dying doesn't have much of a penalty, either. Some may think this makes it too easy, but I see what they're doing. They want it to be easy for people to get into and keep playing. It did get a little less user-friendly near the end, and some weapons were just too weak further in, but that's to be expected.

I find Insomniac's games (Spyro 1-3, Ratchet) better than Naughty Dog's (Crash 1-3, Jak). Never played much of the Crash games, played about 8 hours of Jak/Daxter, and haven't touched the copy of Jak II I got when it was released.
 
[quote name='FaintDeftone']Looks like I found a game to pick up when I buy a PS2 friday. Ratchet & Clank: GC is mine.[/quote]

You should get the first one first. But it isnt that important that you do.
