Ok, I'm on a search for the best deal on this game.

I know EB has a 'bring 2 GC games in, and get RE' deal, but I don't have 2 games that I want to sell.
Also, they won't take All star baseball 2002. (damn)

So what about Circuit city, best buy, etc?
I really don't understand why we haven't heard much more about this release in commercials...

Doug Schiller

Aren't they selling this $10 under normal ($30) anyway?

Probably because in Japan, they are giving away a mem card with purchase.

I hadn't heard of the 2 for 1 deal. I might do it, but THPS3 is the only game I have that I really want to get rid of. Oh well, I doubt I could get RE at either of the EBs around me on launch anyway since I didn't pre-order it.

I'll probably just hit up Wal-mart, Circuit City or Toys R Us on launch and pick up a copy.

Groucho

I hadn't heard that. It's $50 at all the online stores (which is the normal price for new console games...not $40).

Liver&Onions

You didn't know that even though something say's $39.99 that is still $30 and not $40?

Josh H

The marketing gimmick of x9.99 actually works.

Anyway, has anyone actually seen RE advertised for $39.99?

CreatureX

Some person on the IGN boards claimed they work at TARGET and they scanned the advertisment that shows Resident Evil for $39.88....

mmconhea

Thanks for the tip CreatureX

Josh H

Damn. No Targets near me.

Outlaw

Sweet thats a nice price, good find!! I hope that person was right!

Kellehair

Hmmm...I've got an interesting decision to make. That Target deal is pretty good but my closest Target is at least 20 miles away. That EB deal is pretty good too. The only problem is that I only have one game I'm willing to trade in. Is there anywhere I can pick up a cheap GC game? Is Super Monkey Ball still selling for $20 somewhere?

If you live in Canada compusmart.com has the game for 59.99 - you can can get free shipping if your order is over 99.00.



EGM gave RE the game of the month award.

Does the gogamer newsletter ever do deals on console games? I've never really paid attention to anything other than the pc bargains - but that might be a good find if they do.

huh?

is the memory card / game bundle coming to the US too?

Josh H

Nope. We're just getting the game and nothing else as usual.

Kellehair

I just did the EB thing. I traded in Rogue Leader and Dave Mirra (which I had just beforehand bought at Best Buy for $17.99). Great deal.

DVDKrayzie

Pricematch the target ad at BB and use the $5 off coupon to get it for ~$34

huh?

is resident evil being released on the 30th or on may 1st? i've seen it listed both days on a couple sites.

Kellehair

Best Buy will only do that if the Target is within 10 or 20 miles or something like that.

My EB says May 1. I wouldn't be surprised if EB sucks and you can it April 30 at other places though.

jeffdsmith

For those curious, this deal is for real.

Groucho

Another option for those who don't have a Gamecube yet is to go to Toys R Us. If you buy the cube and a game at the same time, you get a $25 gift card.

Cyberock

That's what I did yesterday after getting screwed on trying to purchase one privately from someone. Very expensive gamecube.

I bought Super Monkey Ball from Toys R Us since it was only $29.99 and then ran over to Best Buy to buy more games since they are on sale there (or was).

Sominex

What will this game be like? I have never played it before- Is this one that is safe to pick up becasue it is going to be so great? Or should I rent it first?

sniper308

Sounds like you have never played an RE game ... if that's the case, I'm not sure that your question is so easily answered. What other types, titles do you like?

Personally for me RE & a price drop for the GameCube (if announced during E3) will push me over the edge to buy a GC. People seem to either love the RE series or hate it. In any case, if you bought it and didn't like it you can probably recoup your money by selling/trading it.

Zodo

Sweet, sounds like I'm gonna be able to pick up RE at BB for 35 bucks, since there's a Target right next to the BB in Newport News, VA.

I'm also gonna get Bloody Roar for 35, since Circuit City has it on sale for 40 and I have another $5 off coupon.

This week is gonna be sweet.
