It's also on September's Official Xbox Magazine demo disc (for those without Live.)

Oh yeah, I picked up Midnight Club 2 and NBA Street 2 today. :)

Went to TRU in Austin (Lakeline Mall) yesterday(8/17) and there was no such deal. Must only be good in certain markets. :(

I picked up Enter the Matrix and NBA Streets for Xbox. I'll *probably* return ETM for a $25 refund, and keep NBA Streets. Not bad for $25. I may look at some of the local used game shops and see what I can get for a trade in on ETM and see if I can get a different game out of it.

I already had splinter cell and none of the others really seemed appealing.

HUGE YMMV

I went to the TRU in Swansea MA today to pick up a copy of NBA Street Vol 2 and something to ebay (all the rest of the games suck, besides SC which I already have). They had these signs on the shelves that had WAY more games listed than in the ad that were a part of the deal. For X-Box they had KOTOR listed, for Gamecube they had almost all first party titles (Animal Crossing, Mario Party 4, Wario World, Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Mario Golf, etc.) it was pretty much standard for PS2 though.

Only problem is, they didn't have any copies of KOTOR in stock. So I ripped one of the signs off the shelves, and went to my next closest TRU. I explained it to them and showed them the sign, but they only had the games in the circular on sale, not the extras. So I picked up a copy of KOTOR there for $50, went back to Swansea, returned KOTOR, and bought it back along with NBA Street.

So check out your local B&Ms, might have the same sort of deal going on.

So if you do this deal and return 1 game with the sales receipt they will only charge you $25?

If so that's a great deal also

Damn, I saw that too at my TRU (in NC), but I didn't realize that meant I could choose from any of those games. I ended up getting SC and Midnight Club 2, but if I had known otherwise I would have gotten something else.

It's just printed on a card, doubt it'd do much good (no logos or anything like that).

I am interested in getting SC for the PS2. But I am unsure what other game to pick up. I don't have any of them, but I am not to familiar with them either. What is some other good games on there? I am considering ETM, or maybe MC2(but not sure if i like that type of racing game, I am a GT fan). What do you think
