We do get screwed a lot of prices. USA has rebates and stuff, and mega deals at certain times of the year. We don't get shit, ever.

On the otherhand, we're tolerant of boobies.

It's a close call.

mambadragon · Jan 11, 2008

well preordered Brawl, let's see how this goes.

Europe has beautiful cities, towns, and villages... and castles! We have endless drive-thru fry pits (EDIT: and fucking Wal-Marts :lol ). Take heart, you win!

blast0rama · Jan 11, 2008

Went for DMC4, Smash Bros and Burnout. I guess worst case scenario they can just cancel it. We'll see.

mambadragon · Jan 11, 2008

other notables:
Condemned 2 Xbox 360: $20
Lost Xbox 360: $30

Nardonicus · Jan 11, 2008

also turok is only $29

Z_Y · Jan 11, 2008

Thanks for the heads up!

Ordered Smash Bros. Not holding my breath on getting that price but it was worth the effort. If nothing else it will give me a reason to call and complain to somebody.

Beer Monkey · Jan 11, 2008

Got DMC 360, Turok 360, Burnout 360 (will sell quickly if I don't like it), SSBB.

duk · Jan 11, 2008

VERY NICE

BobsRevenge · Jan 11, 2008

If only I knew Haze was going to be a good game. Goddamn it.

Nardonicus · Jan 11, 2008

how can they try and change the price on you once you have already placed your order?

AstroLad · Jan 11, 2008

Maybe these prices are a reflection on how much interest they feel they can earn between now and what they believe to be the actual release dates based on their inside information.

snacknuts · Jan 11, 2008

I don't even like the Super Smash Bros series that much, but for $20 I had to at least try to order it.

DeadGzuz · Jan 11, 2008

I ordered up Haze.

Amazon also has Eye of Judgment for $45.

Beer Monkey · Jan 11, 2008

If you hate Wal-Mart, order these and make them lose money.

Jeff-DSA · Jan 11, 2008

I took Brawl, DMC 4, and Burnout. Here's hoping they honor the prices.

Justin Bailey · Jan 11, 2008

Welp, we'll see. I haven't gotten a confirmation email though. . .

Ok nm, just got it.

Evander · Jan 11, 2008

ArtG · Jan 11, 2008

Ordered Brawl, even though I'm not the biggest SSB fan. For $20 bucks, doesn't really matter. They either cancel it, or if I hate it, I can re-sell it on Amazon or something. Nice find.

Kolgar · Jan 11, 2008

DMC4, Burnout, and Condemned 2 are MINE!!!

Thanks!

Ryu1999 · Jan 11, 2008

Why is the PS3 version of DMC4 the only one not marked down. Even the PC version is at 40 dollars :-\

UpperCaseN · Jan 11, 2008

this obviously isn't gonna happen. but count me in for brawl

edit: shit, I'm gonna buy 3 copies and hope to resell 2 for profit

edit2: yep, I did 5. the page "could not be found" right as I hit submit order! I used a gift card and the balance was still intact, verifying that the transaction did not process. I ordered again and got the confirmation # this time

Cravis · Jan 11, 2008

In for Smash Bros. and Condemned 2. Debating about Turok but I want to play a demo of it first.

FrankT · Jan 11, 2008

Sizzling hot.

In for DMC4.

Hunahan · Jan 11, 2008

That Smash Bros price seems particularly hard to believe, eh.

I only clocked in my order for one just in case, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be torn down by the first guy who uses that quantity calculator to try and print money.

"I'll take 250 copies of Smash Bros at $20 a piece, please."

Anyways, thanks for the head's up.

_RT_ · Jan 11, 2008

Singstar for the PS3 is marked at $29.82

This looks to be a bargain (if they ship) as well, no?

RiskyChris · Jan 11, 2008

Wow I've never clicked checkout so furiously. Here's to hoping.

Birbo · Jan 11, 2008

In for SSBB and Turok. Thanks OP!

HocusPocus · Jan 11, 2008

Ordered Burnout, condemend 2, super smash brothers brawl, and dmc 4

. Thanks for the awesome deal!

Evander · Jan 11, 2008

X26 said:

smash will brobaby be worth 25~35 (more w/edge card)

the others won't be worth more than fourty.

But yeah, buy a bunch of smash and trade them all in (one at a time) to build up massive free credit.

edit: this is different from deal scalping, because you are allowing others in your community to ALSO get the game for a cheaper (albeit not AS cheap) price, by having more used copies available right after launch.

JohnsonUT · Jan 11, 2008

Picked up Smash. My second preorder ever. Wind Waker was obviously the first.

Ephemeris · Jan 11, 2008

ordered DMC4 and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Wish It could have been the PS3 version of Devil may cry, but for $20 less.. I'll take it.

Zhengi · Jan 11, 2008

THANKS!!! I just preordered SSBB!!!!!! I can't wait

I3rand0 · Jan 11, 2008

Forgot to add Amazon's DOTD: Eye of Judgement for $45 - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000R3BLAI/ref=nosim

Link · Jan 11, 2008

Ordered Brawl. It'll be great if they honor it, but it says I won't receive it til about 2/20. That wait is gonna suck.

Whimsical Phil · Jan 11, 2008

I put in my order for Smash Bros., One Piece: UA, and Burnout. It'll be interesting to see what becomes of this.

EMBee99 · Jan 11, 2008

I was going to hold off and buy these when my backlog shrank a bit....but this kind of deal only happens once in a lifetime and these prices are...INNNN-SAAAAAAAANNNEEE!!!!

Plus, fuck Wal-Mart. They lose money on these things.

In for:
SSBB
Turok
DMC4
Burnout: Paradise

sh4mike · Jan 11, 2008

Brawl, DMC 360, and Condemned 2 ordered.

Xisiqomelir · Jan 11, 2008

Brawl ordered with speed

dionysus · Jan 11, 2008

If they honor this I just got 2 games for less than the price of 1, Brawl and Haze. I want the ps3 version of DMC4 unfortunately.

Wilsongt · Jan 11, 2008

Brawl? $20? SOLD! You better honor it, Wal-Mart.

Evander · Jan 11, 2008

Oh, wow.

I just found this while looking through their game prices.

PLEASE tell me that this is real:

Kolgar · Jan 11, 2008

So they've turned around and NOT honored these things in the past?

How do they do that?

What do you do then, just take the games back to the store for a refund?
