I got City of Heroes on Friday and I'm loving it. These aren't usually my kind of game, especially after the sour taste left in my mouth by Star Wars: Galaxies, but this one is much better, imo.

I also picked up a game called Dr Muto for the Xbox from the bargain bin at Fry's, and it's not too bad either. It's not great by any means, but I believe that it's worth the $12 that I paid for it.

IKEA_boy · 05-24-2004, 04:47 PM

I ordered Devil May Cry 2 and Final Fantasy Origins for $5 each at BestBuy.com. Hopefully they don't go on backorder, Best Buy style.

**SilentBob** · 05-29-2004, 04:48 AM

New Clear Green XBox (hardrive starting to go on my old one)
Project Gotham Racing 2 (spare copy)
ESPN Hockey 2K4
Crimson Skies

my brother actually bought the above. But only $260 Cnd for everything

PorkChopXpress · 06-02-2004, 03:26 AM

Soul Caliber 2

NCAA Football 2005 (pre-order)

MJZ · 06-07-2004, 10:42 AM

Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (US) - Does anyone else have problems with the intro sound keep dropping out for a second intermittently?

Chronicles of Riddick (US)

Psi-Ops (US pre-order)

CoR and P-O aren't due in the UK for at least a couple of months and I've paid less than the new price for them, including shipping, than when they do come out here.

I'm glad I modded my Xbox now.

Monster · 06-07-2004, 07:24 PM

Soul Calibur II (gamecube)

Eternal Darkness (Gamecube)

IKEA_boy · 06-07-2004, 10:41 PM

It came brand new and fucking sealed $20. I'm glad I caught this auction early.

jmoney · 06-08-2004, 06:49 PM

Socom II

Scherer · 06-08-2004, 07:40 PM

I picked up The Chronicles of Riddick yesterday around 3:00 p.m. and beat it today at 4:00 a.m. Although short it's an awesome game. I still can't imagine any game looking better than TCoR. It's worth buying just for the eye candy.

jmoney · 06-16-2004, 01:01 AM

$15 at Gamestop

$10 at EBGames.com

$20 at Gamestop

Enzian · 06-16-2004, 05:28 AM

F-Zero GX - $20
Mario Kart Advance - $25

Well seriously do you think games on the PSP are going to be any cheaper with it's higher development cost? Of course since Mario Kart Advance is a totally new game with different features and it does have the whole orginal Mario Kart SNES as an unlockable I think it is more then worth the money, I spent many hours on it, enjoy!

Notoriousaurus · 06-16-2004, 11:55 AM

I bought Riddick for Xbox. Haven't busted it out yet cause I wanna fuck with Ninja Gaiden some more.

It's not that they'll be any more or less expensive. Matter of fact, as of now, I have absolutely zero interest in a PSP. BUT - it will introduce competition, and will absolutely, positively reduce prices across the board.

The prices for GBA games are outrageous. I could give a shit about development costs... blah blah blah. I don't buy for one minute that Nintendo hasn't reaped it's bounty off a silly Mario Kart Advance cartridge. Yet, it's still priced at $30. Fuck that noise. Shennanigans and bullshit.

When F-Zero is $20, and MK:A is $25 used, there's a problem.

It's my fuckin' problem, 'cause I want the stupid cartridge. The only way I can get both the cartridge and a cheaper price is to pray for competition. You'll see some GBA games hit $10 within 6 months.

Where are the Players Choice games for the GBA? OHhhh, that's right, the Players can go fuck themselves - there's no competition! They can pay $30 for a game all day long, 'cause they're not gonna suddenly say, "Hey, the PSP is only $20 per game!" or "The nGage is BOGO!"

Nintendo has cornered the market, and is reaping the rewards of a successful monopoly. I don't blame them, but I'm not happy with the situation, either.

Engineer_J · 06-16-2004, 08:19 PM

Sorry man, I did not know the topic was so near and dear to you, The price is still 29.99 cause the game sells, just like Zelda WW is still $50, Halo was $50 for almost 3 years, and other Mario GBA games that still sell on a constant pace. It's not just the handheld market. It's not a fair comparsion to compare F-Zero (what 250,000 sold in North America) vs. Mario Kart Advance (1-2 million sold).

Enzian · 06-17-2004, 05:01 AM

Near and dear? Well, I guess. All I've been asking for for a couple years, now, is a little competition. Again, where's the Player's Choice for the GBA? I'll tell you: it doesn't exist because there's no need to lure players. Player's Choice exists to lure console buyers, and people who are thinking of buying a portable are either going to buy a GBA or they're not buying a portable.

Did I get hosed? Probably. I don't pay attention to sales or discounts as much as I should. I see what I want in a store window, and I buy the thing. I just bought a PS2 (used $120), DDR Max2 ($40) and an Ignition pad ($100) because I want to play DDR. Only later did I findd out you can get Ignition pads for much less. Am I a schmuck? Whatever. I'm not losing sleep.

Gah. I've botched this thread. I'd like to keep this as on-track as possible, so if you'd like to continue, feel free to start another thread.

Thanks, man. I feel better already.
