I really want that Viper :)

You can always use a cheat code ;)

But what's the fun in that? Plus, that would mean I did all the other hard work for nothing :) I hate the AI in PGR. Asshats always hit me and I end up doing a 180 and loosing, always at the end of the last lap too. I remember the days when doing things like that was your one advantage against the "never make one error" computers.

I always thought the AI in PGR was weak to the point of being non-existant. The cars don't appear to race you as much as just follow the best line at varying speeds and don't care if you are in the way or not.

At Costco B&M, ALL of the games were $19.99, BUT most were older crap. Other than Buffy and SSX Tricky, I saw stuff like Bruce Lee, Dave Mirra Freestyle 2, Defender, Pirates, some 2002 EA Sports stuff, TransWorld Surf, MotoGP, etc. Dreadful trash and nothing current (that I noticed.)

MotoGP is an EXCELLENT buy at $19.99, and definitely a much higher calibre game than the other dreck you mentioned (not talking about Buffy or SSX tho...they rock too!)

In contrast, I thought they crash you in purpose to make you lose the game... though I really don't know.
and like most racing games, the opponents are always doing the excellent in the last lap to catch you :|

Thanks for the tip, TallGeese! I've been looking at the reviews and it looks like a motocycle version of RalliSport Challenge, my favored racer for the Xbox. Is it easy enough to handle and are the graphics that cool?

I'm still desperately wanting to get Moto GP for this $19.99 price and I've been completely unlucky at the 4 Costco's I've been to. Is anyone at all willing to pick me up 3 copies of this game at this price?!?! I'd be willing to pay your gas money and for your time, plus the price of the game and shipping to me....Please help me out!

Yes, but I can't get into Sam's Club - not a member. Any way around this? 1-day pass or something ? Know when this deal expires ?

Edit: I've added the Game Rankigs.com scores after the games for soem extra guidance. You're welcome.:)

I went to Costco and got 2 copies of MotoGP, so it looks like Beats is gonna have to have his friends over to play his.

Buffy - 79.9%
SSX Tricky - 86.6%
MotoGP - 86.7%
Madden 2002 - 87.3%
NASCAR Heat 2002 - 77.9%

Whew....anything else good in that list? (No, I won't go to the store for you, unless you REALLY make it worth my while.)

Do people know if Marvel vs. Capcom will be Live enabled? I'm thinking it might be better than Capcom vs. SNK EO 2, so I was thinkin of waiting for it.

What do ppl think of Capcom vs. SNK right now? Is it worth it to get it, or better to wait for the Marvel one?

Also Indy's gonna be $10 off on release? NICE!

Yes....back when it was still on Capcom USA's website, it was listed as being Live capable. I'm looking forward to it sooooo much, although i did buy CvS to tide me over. The only bad news it that it was delayed for 'legal reasons' from March to most likely May...:frown:

Don't forget to buy it from BB instead, and get a 110% PM to that $39.99 price! :cool:
Or better yet, PM at the Service Desk, and use a GG coupon to make it $34.99. :D

Anyone read the lastest installment of EGM inm regards to the DOAX? I do not have it but was wondering if what they said about it was true or just a joke (I don't have the game, so I would not know). If it is true though it would explain the M rating it has.

Edit: Nevermind my ignorance - It appears to be the April Issue and MUST be their "April Fool Joke" (They explained how to get to open the rumored topless mode).
