What the hell. I went to my store and it rang up $79.99. I told the guy it was $30 on the website and said the web prices differ.


That blows. The one I bought even had a 29.99 sticker on it....

Picked up newsed copies of both Ps3 and 360. 360 i'm keeping for myself, so as long as the disc isn't mangled(haven't checked yet) im ok. Ps3 is potentially for a buddy, but he should feel same way since its a good deal.

Was amusing to see one 20+ year old denied buying games b/c he had no drivers license - and then another guy ask if the 3DS had xbox 360 graphics.

Maybe I'll check it out tomorrow, if I have time. I already have the game but I LOVE Fallout: NV (and 3) and I'm a sucker for goodies.

I have a launch 60GB PS3... wonder if that makes a difference. It was definitely playable... I completed the main story. But the freezing got annoying after a while (and it seemd to happen more often the latter into the story that I got) and I would lose my progress since my last save.



I also have a 60gb, so I'm not sure that has much to do with it. Like I mentioned, I wonder if it has something to do with character types or what decisions you make? Even though I finished 3 of the 4 endings my character is usually the same general type, so I can't know if that makes a difference.

It's available all around me, so I'm definitely going to hit this up. Just the excuse I needed to finally play this game.

Called a store and they said they'd hold a copy for me.. but I swear an employee in the background said, "fuck that, it's mine now."

:-?

Oh well, guess I'll find out in a few hours. I've missed every single CE they've cleared out these past few weeks except for the Killzone 3 one last night (which cost significantly more).

Never call ahead, especially at Gamestop! I'd rather risk them not having it in stock than tipping off an employee to a deal.

Not sure why I am even considering buying a PS3 copy when I own the 360 version.

Developing some bad habits here on CAG.

What was the story with the Killzone CE?

Scored one for the 360. The employee, who is the only guy I have ever seen behind the counter, did not know about the price reduction but it came up in the system as the correct price.

Thanks OP!!!

Yea, no kidding. I keep upgrading different systems when there's really not any reason for me to do so. My backlog is like 15 deep and is about the get deeper if I score one of these CEs. It's like a disease, man.

DAMN HOARDERS!!!!!!!

I went to my local GS about 20 minutes after seeing this thread (saw it around 1:20PM). I arrived and immediately asked for the F:NV Collector Edition and the employee (he knows me by name, so I trust him) tells me that someone just came in and bought ALL copies less than an hour ago. He just cleaned out the store. I'm kinda down, but I can just wait for the GOTY edition anyhow. Damn the hoarders around me are fast. This was at the White Flint mall GS in MD.

Got one even though I beat the game. Loved the game and a really cool CE, plus Dead Money is on sale today, couldn't resist.

What was the base tiv? It hasn't been updated here for 48 days.

No problems securing a copy at my local gamestop. They actually had a couple copies of ps3 and xbox360 displayed near the register.

Thanks Scorch. I was definitely going to head up there if it was still $12 base, making it only $12 to upgrade. I may still grab it since I have a gift card and try selling a copy on CL. Is the game inside the CE still sealed? If so, I could try selling that copy on Amazon.

I updated the tracker with the new tiv.

I thought Gamestop didn't allow that kind of practice. Shame... but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
