:360:Tony Hawk: Ride is $30 with skateboard @ Big Lots. My store had at least 10. I'm still debating it myself...

Not sure if this stacks with the B1G1 50% going on now, if so, 2 for $45 is a good deal too


Here is the item/product details listed on Amazon, & for $70:

They have it for $27 at my local BB. They have had an entire pallet of them sitting there for about a month.

I know it wasn't reviewed well, but if it gets closer to the $10 mark I might have to just pick one up.
 
Still don't think I'd get it at this price. $20 - maybe, at $30, however, I'm still debating. Sucks too because I loved Tony Hawk Project 8. Wow have they destroyed this once illustrious series.
 
I think a friend told me that Tony Hawk Ride was one of the worst selling games of all time... Of course I have no source for that, but he said he read it somewhere.

Yes, how the mighty have fallen since the N64 days... I will never, ever buy this no matter the price.
 
Well I heard on a podcast that the new Tony Hawk Shred only sold about 3000 copies. That would almost put it in "omg rare gamez" category if it didn't suck.
 
I saw this last weekend and grabbed it for my 5yr old who hasn't stopped asking for it. I read the review was horrible but as much energy as he has its worth the investment of let him goof off with it. I look at it this way, $30 is cheaper than him breaking a bone on a real skateboard, medical bills are brutal.
 
Was surprised that BL carries some Nintendo published games. They have Animal Crossing for the Wii & Starfy & Rhythm Heaven for the DS. They are $18.88
 
Over Thanksgiving, I was at a store with some family, and my 13 year-old cousin pointed out a huge stack of these games and lamented how he got one last year as a gift and it was a total piece of shit. We all know that already, but it's pretty sad when you can't even entertain a 13 year old kid with your stupid peripheral nonsense.
 
Poor Tony Hawk Series. I continued to play you over the years but your greatness has come to an end and once that plastic peripheral came out it was a nail in the grave last year. The last great game was part 3. I continued to play part 4, the thug series, american waste land, project 8, downhill jam and proving ground. Tony hawk ride wasn't great so the little shred I played didn't seem to improve the responsiveness of the board.

Activision and Neversoft should stick a fork into it and perhaps give it a few years on back burner so a good reboot of the series can be given some time. Perhaps next generation because right now EA has the genre title with the Skate series
 
The sad thing is that Asstivision really is pushing the series in this direction, as Shred really should not have been made since Ride was such a failure. I guess not all franchises from our childhoods flourish in our older gaming years, huh?

Good price, but it's a good price on a very poor game.
 
Actually, I picked it up for 20.88 at my Big Lots. My nephews seemed to enjoy it so money well spent to me.

With the money they probably spent to develop the board they probably had to push out another game using it. Besides, it's probably cheaper to make a shitty board game that no one buys than to make a normal tony hawk no one buys because it's Tony Hawk and it's 2010.
 
On Black Friday, I saw copies of this for PS3, 360, and Wii at a Big Lots store, all for $30. I thought about posting a deal, but knew it would get flamed!! :lol:

For what it's worth, I think a big reason why Shred got made was so there would be a second game to use the peripheral. The logic was, people bought a fair number of the Ride skateboards, so even if they didn't really like that game, let's make a sequel that maybe will be a little bit better, and they'll buy it game-only because they already have the peripheral. Based on the sales reports, that strategy obviously didn't work!

These overproduced skateboard bundles are going to be hanging out on discount shelves with GH wired Explorer guitar controllers for years to come!
