I got Ghost Recon there yesterday.

The other games include:

PS2- DMC2,The Sims, The Getaway(no extra $10 needed)

GameCube- RE2(no extra $10 needed), RE3(no extra $10 needed), Ghost Recon *unconfermed Zelda GC also*

Ghost Recon is supposed to be only for GC, not Xbox. DOA XBV should be the only Xbox game available.

if you have other people to play the game with, I would say yes.

Panzer Dragon Orta seemed incredibly short, but pretty good.

Anyway, this really isn't a deal but I want feedback on which game is better. I'm trying to decide which NCAA football game to get. I think I will try to find a rental place out of town (none in town) and rent both. It seems as though all the reviews I have read of NCAA 2K3 (Sega) and NCAA College Football (EA) they don't make either seem that much different. In the Sega game, it seems as though the player models are more detailed than the EA version. The EA version seems as though the croud and "extras" (cheerleaders, mascots, etc) are more detailed/there, whereas the Sega version skips over these. I wouldn't think gameplay would be incredibly different. I'd appreciate any feedback, thanks.

From what I've read, the general consensus is that the EA game is much better than the Sega one. The quality of the NFL2K series just isn't there yet for it's college prodigee

The Unreal Championship single player game is fun, but pretty short. I personally wouldn't buy the game for just the single player aspect of the game. XBox Live makes the game awesome though and adds a long time of playability. I think that UC's worth is much like MechAssault, good as a single player game, but great if you have multi-player.

When I picked up my copy of UC last night there were only a few copies left and they had tons of people calling about the deal. If you want to get one I would do it soon because I think that they will sell out quickly...
 
I got UC so my wife can play against me. She didn't like MA too much. My 7 yr old daughter has gotten frighteningly good with DOA3, she should enjoy UC. (The XBox has provided us with some quality father-daughter time🙂)

Sounds good. Does anyone know if EB B&M will do the same? Would be nice to eliminate the shipping costs. How much is EBgames.com shipping?
 
Just got back from EB B&M

Got The Thing for 9.99 (just hand the employee the coupon with the $10 off face up. didnt even read that you need to buy 2 games for that)

You can get UC with XBL for $64.98 was going to do it but dont have live.

Anyway there were all the deals like Bloodrayne as previous mentioned, serious sam, there all there

Good Luck

Ummm...you meant to say "but dont have broadband" right?

Regardless...some more smoking deals at EB.

That free copy of Bloodrayne would make a NICE trade-in title! 🙂

It's Ghost Recon ACROSS PLATFORMS, meaning GameCube and Xbox. I would know, I was there yesterday and I got Ghost Recon on XBOX. 🙂

I was just wondering was Skies of Arcadia Legends in that list considering it is a January release? Sorry for bringing up a GC game in the Xbox thread.
 
Re: The Trade in 2 Games at Gamestop to Get DOA:XBV for $10

I just called all of the Gamestops around the Arlington, TX area, and they've either claimed ignorance or said that the deal was over as of this morning. So those of you who got it yesterday, you lucky bastards 🙂

If you have a decent PC, I would get Unreal 2003 instead. Better graphics, if you have a graphics card better than GF3, and you don't need any membership or buying any kit to play online game. Most important, mouse + keyboard is far better than gamepad in fps game.

Yep, A lot of people are reporting that the deal was ended because of abuse on the offer

Was at the local EB B&M today and they have Unreal Championship for $24.99 as well but no $10 coupon.
Also spotted AllStar Baseball 2003 going for $14.99.
Picked up The Thing for myself at $14.99 ($19.99 less $5.00 coupon). Cashier actually took time to read through the coupon (sigh...) so I only got the $5 off instead of $10 like some lucky people!

I'm assuming the $10 coupon for UC is only if you buy it with Live Kit. Correct?
 
Yup i couldnt pass it up. I went back to EB and got UT + Live for $70 (tax)

There was no coupon i just told them that online they are offering it and they guy that sold it to me said "Yeah i remember we had that......sure here ya go"

Anyway i also picked up BloodRayne for 19.99 + tax = 21.75 - $20 mail in GC. (Yeah i was disappointed that the coupon states its just an instore credit i was hoping to get my $20 back but oh well ill wait till a good 19.99 game comes around again and get it for free its just the same i guess)

So all in all EB got alot of money out of me cause i wasnt ready to go live yet but good deals are far and few.

Thanks to everyone for posting what they find and sharing it with the community
 
Went to EB B&M and picked up the Bloodrayne deal. I also noticed that Unreal Championship is only $19.99 used. Whoa! That was a fast drop!

The guy ahead of me was buying DOAXBV and when I went up to Gamestop (nearby in the mall), the guys there were buying it and the clerk said he had his already and couldn't wait to get home.

Too bad if GS killed the trade-in deal, but what we did was within the rules. Nowhere did it say, "You must show proof that you paid $50 for the game we're giving you $20 towards."
 
I don't think the trade in two games, get DOA Volleyball for $10 was ended because of abuse, I'd say it was almost definetly just a pre-order special. Now that its released, no pre-order, no special.
