I think Giana is oos. It shows in stock but I can't choose a store/shipping.

I guess it went oos quick, I put an order in before I posted, not available for pick up near me either. I can't remember if they carried this one in store or not, wont show in stock in store if only 1 or 2 left.

 
Ordered all the ones I didn't already have, except for DeBlob which was both OOS for shipping and within 250 miles of me.

Some of these titles just came out within the last two months at $29.99.  Seems odd that they would put them on sale for $9.99 so soon.

 
Any chance someone has a Giana Sisters they can snag and ship to me?  Will cover the shipping costs and throw in a little extra for your trouble.  Please PM me if interested.

 
Got in about a half hour after it went live, so got all the $10 games for $8 GCU, too bad no more $1 pickup discount anymore.  I wonder if this was supposed to be $19.99 sale prices and might get fixed tomorrow. 

 
I was able to snag this is the police but was hoping to get Sphinx and Raven as well. Hopefully they get more stock.
 
I am pretty upset. I have been eyeing de blob and deblob 2 for months, and I wasn't going to pay that $10 switch tax thq placed on it. I would have been happy paying an equal amount to the other consoles. And now that it is hugely on sale I don't even get a copy.

 
Wondering why so many are getting...so many. I know some of three are good, but like...gal metal? That sisters game? Those look awful lol. What's the appeal?

Gianna Sisters is actually a respectable franchise. It’s been a while since I’ve played one but usually they’re pretty solid platformers.

Aside from that I do agree with your post though. Most of these are not very good lol.
 
Oh look some of the switch shovelware finally went on sale...buy it now like if they were worth it.

Played the base game on Wii U and it's a really good platformer actually. Too bad it's already sold out.

 
Flippers were all over this. Every single $10 game in the OP except Unwritten Tales and Raven that my store had went to fulfill a single order.  :bs: 

 
Already starting the week off wrong :p I had added two to my cart when they went up for sale, realized that I didn’t have my card saved and didn’t want to wake anyone so I would buy this morning. That was a mistake... I knew it would be too. Fingers crossed they come back, the switch is my go to system so anytime I can get cheap games it makes me happy

Yeah but both of them have kinda awful reviews so I removed them from my cart. On metacritic that is and the few sites on there that I agree with didn’t seem to enjoy them much. It’s probably for the best though o could have got the two for $16.
 
Gotta be honest here, and I dont meant to put down anyone without bias, but i call bogus on this sale

The only 2 games “worth” getting at de blob 1 and 2, and guess what?

The only title sold out, OH except for - um yeah, the WIERDEST, most simplistic, non-next-gen, post-modernist-retro-next-gen [sim??] game ive ever seen in my life: the police....like did anyone look into that game in the past? Because I checked it out on release, because I thought it might be the “good guy” version of GTA, and when I saw the gameplay I actually kept staring at the screen like “wuhhhhh?”

So I think its just to get people in the door, and you know how that goes once your there... like kids at the checkout line at grocery store lol

Anyway, BBY sucks!
 
I was awake at 3:00 am this morning and thought about checking the Best Buy deals but was like nah I’m going to bed. Woke up and seen this at 8:30 this morning and seen almost all sold out. I was able to snag Titan Quest and Unwritten Tales. I wanted Spinx but alas it was not meant to be.


“He who throws dirt loses ground.”
 
Despite the cheap THQ games, I really have no reason to want to buy them.  On the other hand, Salt and Sanctuary (physical) for $16 seems like a great deal for me and a clear pickup. 

 
Any guess if any of these will be back in stock before the prices are raised? Was wanting to get TitP 1 and 2 and Gal Metal before they sold out.

Had a bunch of these games in my cart, then I realized there's zero chance I'm spending any time playing De Blob over Sekiro and other great titles I've yet to complete. I assume many of you are in the same boat and these will stay in your shelves unplayed.

 
Damn would have loved to have gotten a few of those $9.99 games, but literally, every one of them is sold out or not available anywhere near me.

I hate to be a shill (and I’m no plant, I’ve been here for more than a decade) but as someone who worked on TItP 2 (very tangentially), I wanna toss out a recommendation based on the story and acting. Let’s face facts, these games’ management and tactics gameplay aren’t going to win any awards. And while it’s well-publicized that the game stars the legendary voice of Duke Nukem, Jon St. John, most of the other characters are voiced by members of the professional theatre community in and around Buffalo, NY (myself included). Most of us don’t often get the chance to work on a game like this (like, with an actual publisher!) and it was a ton of fun for myself, and some of the city’s most talented actors, people who I’ve worked with on stage for years.

The dialogue is well-written and there’s a TON of story here. So if that sort of thing interests you, and 10 bucks isn’t too high a threshold for you to take a chance on a game that’s only interesting for the story, well... I’m really proud of the acting work that me and my friends did on this game. We’ve all been paid and have no vested interest in whether or not it sells, but I’d love it if people checked out our work.

Soapbox done! Hope the games are actually still in stock by now ;)

Thanks for the information. I am also in Buffalo and did not know about this local connection. The more you know.

I was able to order TiTP2 yesterday morning. Hopefully it ships. I'm also crossing my fingers for a restock later this week. Would love to pick up giana sisters at this price.

 
I picked up the Wii U version of Giana Sisters not all that long ago but would love to get it for $10 on Switch as well. I honestly have never seen a physical copy of it on Switch in-store though.
