I wasn't going to get this game unless I could find it for less than $40 by subtracting credit incentives. I happened to run into this deal while checking if amazon had put a credit sale on it. Came out for $54.99 + $20 credit.
The way I see it, even if the game sucks I can easily trade it in for a TIV of $35+. Battlefield 3 is at $33 right now.
I have Battlefield 3 and although I have no intention in trading it in, some minor choices in game system really makes it irritating. For example you can make a squad of 4 friends at the Menu but once you go to a match your friends get spread out of the squad, and even at the enemy team. Took us a little while to figure out a way to get back together as a group. Not being able to quit after a match ends is the most retarded concept ever. I hate having to wait for a match to start to then leave. Like I said, minor but huge annoyance.
That being said Battlefield 3 and COD are completely different type of games and I hope everyone is enjoying them both. I think this buy.com deal is for sure worth it for everyone on the fence. Honestly, people should stop hating on one or the other. Activision and EA are both greedy company, and honestly why the heck do people buy games as "supporting" a major company. Just buy games for fun and because you want to play them!
Haha I guess my post is all over the place, anyway just a little rant among the opinion. Thanks for posting it here both OPs. I was going to do it but saw it was up. Good job and have fun everyone!
