[UPDATE 8/8] Nice Price Drops on PS2/Xbox games at Gamestop.com

Is the xbox music mixer any good if i'm just getting it for transferring music to the xbox from the pc? i figure since it's only $10 i might as well check into it.
 
Deus is more than definetely worth $14.99, I doubt you'd be able to find it much cheaper new either.
 
damn me for buying banjo kazooie at cc for $9.99...oh well, only a few bucks

damn me for buying de:iw at cc for $25...shit, a lot of bucks

damn me for buying future tactics at bb for $14.99...bastards, i want my money back

im holding out on ribbit king hoping that it follows the path of future tactics, any hope?
 
The XBOX music maker is worth $10. It has a good karaoke function, as well as a decent ripper. Good for parties if you want to set up your own mix.
 
Deus Ex is really bad for Xbox in my opinion......PC with the patches and a decent PC plays much better...

[quote name='Monsta Mack']Hmm. Wonder if Deus or Deadman will drop any further. Must. Resist. Urge. To. Buy.[/quote]

I think Deus Ex is just a bad game period. However, I've played it on both Xbox and PC and I didn't notice a significant difference. Well, except that the PC version crashes a whole lot - but that's typical of PC games.

You're one of the very few that actually think that.
 
going to call the store when they open up to see if these prices are good instore as well I want the megaman games i was going to buy them yesterday for 15 each will love to grab them for 10 have something to do when im bored

(since im already done with that stupid mairo gold lol)
 
Sweet, picked up Deus Ex and Sphinx. Trying to keep from getting Pool Paradise and Godzilla. And yes, Gamestop's online prices are the same as their B&M prices, so these should all be good in store.

I have gotten into the game and it's fantastic - but it's MUCH, MUCH better, smoother and better controls on the PC. Mine is a 2.4a with a 5900XT 128mb vid card. Xbox is unplayable in comparison. And since the 1.2 patch the game is pretty stable. I got the xbox version in trade for a $5 CC game and I wish I hadn't, I'm just going to stick to PC.
 
for anyone purchasing games from gamestop.com, you might want to use:

FREESHIPALL

the "Value" shipping option will be listed as $1.99, but on the final page, you'll have a $1.99 discount... FREE SHIPPING!

enjoy! 8)

Future Tactics launched with a $19.99 MSRP. I believe Ribbit King started at $49.99. It'll be awhile before it's dirt cheap, I bet.

I freaking love the game. Keep in mind that if you want the PC version to work, you'll need a graphics card with vertex shaders. Mine didn't have it, so I couldn't play it on PC.
 
And Future Tactics is terrible, that's a good reason its $4.99.. its not worth $0.50. Ribbit King, although not a big blockbuster has garnered good reviews and is aquiring a decent following. That coupled with Ribbit King's $30 higher MSRP.. you won't see $4.99 for a while.
 
Are you sure that Ribbit King started at $49.99? I got it the day after release for $19.99; I think that that was its original price.

Want to get the cancer stick causing microphone but where do i input shipping code???

EDIT: awww forget it I figured out it was when you added item to your cart and I just checked and there it said ACTIVATE code...Cancer Microphone ON IT'S Way...

after you click on the link to add something to your cart, the left side of the next page will have a large blue box with yellow letters stating "Have a coupon? Enter it below:" with a red "Activate" btn next to the box to type in the code. Hit the btn after typing in FREESHIPALL and it'll add a statement about getting free shipping if you select the "Value" option.
 
I've been trying to get Pool Paradise for a while, but haven't ever seen it in stores. Glad to get it for $10 off, thanks. I had trouble with the shipping coupon as well, I think it should be part of your order form. I went to Funcoland (aka Gamestop) and they do not match the online price.
 
Splendid. Hooked up MMBN3: Blue, Banjo and Pool Paradise. Also threw in my pre-orders for Phantom Brave and SFAC to score the free shipping.
 
Are people still ordering? I just tried and it said they were "experiencing technical difficulties...try again soon."
 
DXIW was ok I guess, the first one was just soooo much more fun, even the PS2 port I found more entertaining than IW. The levels are just too small and except for 1-2 types of enemies the game is just too easy. Even on hard the only thing difficult is finding enough "universal" ammo. in fact the lack of ammo actually kills the "freedom" part of the game since you are not really free to do anything b/c if you decide to run around killing everyone you will run out of ammo quickly (even if you collect all their ammo drops).
Basically the game dares you not to be stealthy, and when you are not stealthy you get no reward for being a bad ass, just low ammo and low energy.

The quest rewards are also pointless. You do these time consuming side quests and your rewards are....cash and maybe a candy bar. The game should have had far more unique items/weapons as rewards. Finishing a 30 min quest only to get a health pack and 300 credits is a major major let down.

Morrowind for example is much better at the quest reward, you get cool unique items for quests. In DXIW there are only a handful of cool weapons and most of them can be found laying on the floor behind some crate.
 
Well, it took 4 tries but I finally got it to go through. I ordered Pool Paradise. I haven't played a real pool game since Trick Shot on the Atari I believe. The game has gotten decent reviews and for $10, what the heck. Thanks for the notice.
 
And off into the order bin went the following:

Future Tactics for the XBox (seems quirky enough to warrant a look, and I've seen enough reviews to think it's worth it for me)
Deus Ex for the XBox (about damn time I bought it)
Serious Sam: The Next Encounter for the GC (mindless shooting, fun fun fun)
Pool Paradise for the GC (seems to be well worth the $10, and according to Metacritic.com, it's coming for the XBox and the PS/2)
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters for the XBox (It's Godzilla, that's all that needs to be said)

For a site that says it's for cheapasses, I'm been sure tossing enough money out the door for good stuff. And yes, it's less than I would've spent for the stuff without looking here, so applause to CheapyD for keeping this place going.
 
I've never used gamestop online before so when it says a game is on backorder does that mean i have no chance to get it, or will it just ship out seperately whenever they get more in stock?

If it's new, could be a short time to fill it, if it's used, even longer.

See above link. :shock:
