Well they were open when I got home. My brother swears that they came, out of the box, open.

EDIT- never mind my 4 year old sister admitted to opening them. :lol Faith in Amazon restored.

Not a bad Cyber Monday at all. Bought games that I will probably never finish but whatever.

Picked up NBA2k11, Re 5, Uncharted 2, Dead Rising 2

For a second I thought the 23 dollar Planet Earth was the Bluray and got major hyped. Then I just bought the Bluray for 35 dollars. :) Still amazing price considering the regular.

Red Dead will be $29 at Wal Mart.
Amazon normally price matches everything, but this is not guaranteed.




It looks like Amazon is going to take care of as many people as they can.

I ran into the claim bug a while back. I just ordered from another account.

It's $30 somewhere, unfortunately I can't keep track of the retailers. It might have been Best Buy.

Castlevania is a mile ahead of Darksiders and I actually enjoyed it more than God of War, which somehow bored me at many points.

then we all have different taste apparently, because castlevania bored me to tears and even after that i gave it another few hours. imo it wants BADLY to be GoW/SotC/PoP but doesn't understand what about hose games makes them successful, not to start a debate. just what i got from a very boring rental

save your money and buy Sly Collection!

Jeez, where's the Uncharted 2 deal, and why is the original U2 65 bucks??

Got the NFS Hot Pursuit Limited Edition (for PC) for 35 Obamas.
Not bad for a brand new (and awesome game), good deal :D

Now back to GT 5

Isn't it funny what happens when you mix deep, great combat with good puzzles, a tolerable story, fun platforming and adventuring all in one?

Anyone who thinks castlevania is a bad game is a crap action gamer, at least so far (i'm only up to chapter 6)

It's up there with bayonetta and NG imo, not quite there, but up there.

Sounded like a decent game, but the framerates in the demos on both platforms prevent me from playing the game. They were *that* bad. I was the same with Shadow of the Colossus (I'm patiently awaiting it's PS3 release).

Castlevania falls flat on it's face in every last regard except (amazing) art direction, the combat is a joke and puzzles and platforming? :lol. Castlevania makes Uncharted's puzzles and auto platforming look like solid gold game design. It's just a total hodge podge of borrowed mediocrity.

Anyone who thinks this is up there with Bayonetta in combat is ESPECIALLY hitting the sauce a little too hard.

Just buy both games. You'll get the best of everything offered with the two.

I didn't like the first one but the 2nd one is probably one of my favorite games this year.

same here

I tried twice but I never really 'got' Dead Rising. I like some aspects of it, but it never really clicked with me.

I picked up DR2 on a whim, mostly because of GAF and I loved it. It definitely clicked, I got so hooked on it. Played through it 3 times and finished the case files/overtime and almost got Chuck to lvl 60 before my 360 died. I loved it, though, one of my favorite games of this gen. So good.

Over the weekend I skipped out on Resi 4 Wii while doing my Amazon shopping, even though it was only ten bucks then as well. Now that I've thought about it, I've been wanting to get the Wii version ever since my Wii fried my Gamecube version's saves, and the asking price with free shipping isn't much to ask.

I'm on a holiday buying high so I'll just add this to the list. :lol

Just ordered the GTA episodes. I either need to unsubscribe from this thread or hide my wallet. Also, Amazon promo credits are dangerous. I tend to double count them when I'm shopping. Assassin's Creed had a $15 promo, so it was only $45. GTA was $16, but I had a $15 credit, so it's only $1. So in my head, I only spent a total of $47. Sneaky amazon.

I'm kind of hesitant to recommend it even at that price...

Got Other M for $24.99 the other day... hasn't been shipped yet, but the other item in the order (had to go over 25 for free shipping) has gone up $4, so I would only save $1 by cancelling it and re-ordering.
Still, I hear Amazon can give you a credit if you buy something and it goes down in price in the next days... does it apply here? :lol

If it hasn't shipped call customer service while the lightening deal is still good and request they refund the difference. Amazon is usually good about that stuff.

Just order this one too. Then, return the other one for a refund.
I did email once about the price of something I ordered going down. The item was in shipping soon status. They credited me the diff, as a "one time" adjustment.
