Dazz · Sep 17, 2004

MadFlava · Sep 17, 2004

When did CC stop having free shipping. It's now only free if you purchase over $25.

They dropped it after BB did.

Eric467 · Sep 17, 2004

Awesome! I've been wanting Siren but was waiting for the price drop. Didn't think it would drop all the way to $20!

Thanks for the heads up!

guerrila_gamer · Sep 17, 2004

If you don't have Arc the Lad:TS, then you're seriously missing out. Probably my 3rd favorite rpg this gen (after KOTOR and FFX).

The Successful Dropout · Sep 17, 2004

i picked up tales from da hood with siren to make it to free shipping....

Nirvanaguy777 · Sep 17, 2004

I'll go check in store at 10AM CT.

I'll do a Sears pricematch if I decide to go for it. (I decided

)

alongx · Sep 17, 2004

Dammit, and to think I paid $15 for Arc the Lad

Admiral Ackbar · Sep 17, 2004

Mark of Kri is $5 to go along with the others!

When it's listed it says sold out. But I added it to my cart, went through checkout, and it shows available for shipping!

mytoy333 · Sep 17, 2004

Thanks Wlau! Some good prices!

msdmoney · Sep 17, 2004

Hmmm, having trouble getting on the CC website.

masha · Sep 17, 2004

Confirmed in store prices:

Mark of Kri $4.96
Siren $19.96

Admiral Ackbar · Sep 17, 2004

Err... I just had a thought...

So far we've been looking at the games listing for $5 and $10 on the website. However, maybe there are more $5 and $10 games not listed online.

Anyone check anything else? The $5 CC sale a few months ago only started with a few titles and balooned. I'm not saying we'll see anything that great, but there may be a few other titles out there floating for $5 and $10 in-store

Journey · Sep 17, 2004

Could this be the begining of the end for my checking account?? I'm still trying to recover from the last CC sale!!

masha · Sep 17, 2004

We should bump an old CC thread

I KeeD, I KeeD.

OmegaRed5 · Sep 17, 2004

Have had Siren since release.
It's worth $50 easy in my opinion--best damn horror game experience since the original Silent Hill.

CouRageouS · Sep 17, 2004

I want Arc the Lad for $10 but not sure if I want to pay the $2 for shipping or just head to CC now to see if its $10 and see if theres other deals. What to do..what to do..

Does it have like "normal" 3rd person controls (ala Eternal Darkness), or "tank" controls (like Resident Evil)?

Can't agree. I paid about $25 for Siren using Target's raincheck when they ran out of another game that was on sale and it wasn't worth the money for me.

First, people expecting another horror masterpiece like Silent Hill shouldn't bother. Even though both games were directed by the same guy and shared some of the same staff, it is more like Metal Gear Solid without the gadget, action, and humor. Think of a stealth game with most of its fun factors removed and you have Siren.

Second, those looking for an adventure with good storytelling can forget it. The game is limited to the repeated use of 7 stage maps and a cast by mix n' matching them to events that take place within a 3-day period. Things start to get real old after you've played a dozen missions or so. The disjointed unfolding of events was sometimes compared to Quentin Taratino's structuring of Pulp Fiction, but the end result was nowhere nearly as masterful or elegant.

Last but not least, this game continues the shameful tradition of horrible dub without the original language with subtitles as an option. If you can handle bad kung fu movie dubs then you'll enjoy all the Japanese characters speaking with a British (Cockney, to be specific) accent. In fact there are no subtitles at all, making the game hearing-impaired unfriendly.

Dead of Knight · Sep 17, 2004

Thanks for the info, Gundam. I think I'll save my money as I trust anyone with an Illbleed avatar. :lol:

hiccupleftovers · Sep 17, 2004

Wow, Primal and Siren. Not too shabby. Can anyone confirm if this is instore as well?

scsg75 · Sep 17, 2004

Heh, was just gonna post the Siren thing for instore and saw this topic. I can confirm Siren is $19.99 in store as wll as Mark of Kiri is $4.98.

Dazz · Sep 17, 2004

the Siren link is dead

CouRageouS · Sep 17, 2004

Just picked up Arc The Lad. It was marked $29.99 but rang up accordingly.

No Siren at the Hayward, CA CC but there was a suspiciously large amount of Mark of Kri that I don't remember ever being there. I woulda got one if I didn't already get it from TRU. There's probably some other stuff on sale but I was too lazy to get them price checked.

sarkenobi · Sep 17, 2004

Thanks for the info about Siren, Gundam. I am hearing-impared and need those subtitles and friendly games. And I don't have a ps2 (roommate does) and won't be playing Siren for like ages. So I'm gonna pass even though it's a good deal.

....... · Sep 17, 2004

I don't see why everyone wants Siren. Its not like an AAA title or anything.

sarkenobi · Sep 17, 2004

I want Siren cause I need to piss my pants.

scsg75 · Sep 17, 2004

[quote name='sarkenobi']I want Siren cause I need to piss my pants.[/quote]

Ha, yeah, Siren to me wasn't that scary. I just picked up SH4, played it about 20 minutes, so far, pretty scary.

nneace · Sep 17, 2004

man both arc the lad and mark of the kri are sold out online, i am gonna drive around to a few and check them out!!!

donssword · Sep 17, 2004

Awesome - I'm getting it.

Si1veR · Sep 17, 2004

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be stopping by my local CC for Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and Mark of the Kri.

Admiral Ackbar · Sep 17, 2004

[quote name='nneace']man both arc the lad and mark of the kri are sold out online, i am gonna drive around to a few and check them out!!![/quote]

The CC in Wilmington DE had a ton of both. The Arc the Lad were parked $10 and in the clearance bin. Mark of Kri was still up on the shelves and marked $30. Around eight in stock.

They didn't have any copes of Dead to Rights for $5 though. I wanted to grab that if I saw it.

Glad to be of service. Some of the clues to the puzzles in the game are randomly generated and are only given aurally via a character's spoken lines, which can get buried in the sound mix because the ambience sound is much lounder at times. I hope they include the original Japanese soundtrack and subtitles if the game ever gets a GH release here (the game already got a re-release in Japan with extras).

Being a survival horror fan, I've enjoyed most of the Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Clock Tower, and Fatal Frame games to a degree (not to mention Illbleed, the most underrated horror game with a wicked sense of humor). Sadly Siren just doesn't even compare to most of the other games in the genre and hasn't really scared me that much after completing a few dozen missions and 3 loops.

Si1veR · Sep 18, 2004

I just got back from CC and got Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and Mark of the Kri for $16.xx after tax. If anyone wants these games or any of the ones on the list, just pm and I can try to pick some up for you tomorrow. I also saw Eternal Darkness for $9.99, I already have the game so I didn't pick it up.

*Please add $9.99 Eternal Darkness to the list, thanks.

Trakan · Sep 18, 2004

Damn, if ED is on this list, I have to pick up 3 total. ED, Arc the Lad, and Mark of the Kri.

YoshiFan1 · Sep 18, 2004

I wonder if there are any new $4.99 game markdowns that are in store only that weren't for sale on the website. This could turn out to be like that sale they had last December with a lot of $4.99 and $9.99 games.

nneace · Sep 18, 2004

crap, i got to go back tomorrow to get eternal darkness. I wish i would have known that earlier. but hey, no complaints to pick up eternal darkness, which in my opinion has some of the best dialogue in a game.

CouRageouS · Sep 18, 2004

I'm really hoping theres some other cheap stuff. Anyone want to go price check a bunch of 2003 and older titles over the weekend? Or perhaps we can make a list of ideal candidates that would be cheap and a bunch of us can split the list up and price check. If we pull a team effort, we could figure out if we have a mini-CC fiasco on the rise.

c · Sep 18, 2004

I've been waiting for SOCOM w/ Headset to drop for for. ev. er. So i should keep my eyes open around Nov/Dec, huh?

Also, is Mark of Kri any good? Everyone's mentioning it, but I thought I heard it was pretty subpar-ish. I think I'm thinking of another game... So is Mark of Kri good?

nneace · Sep 18, 2004

mark of kri is pretty sweet, and it has a very unique way of story telling. the animation is sweet, and for 5 bucks you cant complain

Trakan · Sep 18, 2004

I did a quick search at CC.com, and found some cheap games. Some aren't really new, but I found some I didn't really know about. Not the greatest deals, but I thought they were postworthy.

My Circuit City didn't have Eternal Darkness. I did pick up Arc the Lad, Kya: Dark Lineage, and the Mark of Kri for a total of 25 bucks, though. All of the games were marked down also.
