I'm going to pass on this deal too since I just got an X Box and have to save $$$ for Shenmue II and Splinter Cell. I already preordered Vice City and I'm not too interested in the other games. At least not right now.

I'm getting :

Contra : Shattered Soldier (LOVE the Contra series)

Metal Gear Solid 2 : Sons Of Liberty (I just got a PS2 3 months ago, so....)

Suikoden 3 (taking a chance on this one since everyone on here seems to be getting it. It better be good or I'll reach through this monitor and...... j/k)

Hope there is a GameCube deal like this soon!

Thanks for the heads up on the return of this kick ass deal. I got these three..

Suikoden III
GTA Vice City
Red Faction II

darqleo you may want to reconsider MGS 2:SOL as the newer version of it is coming very soon called Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, just so you know.

This is what I am thinking after seeing some of these posts.

There's more to it than that. I tried 3 greatest hits titles and it wouldn't work, either.

Wasn't this the deal that swamped the TRU server last year before they switched to Amazon?

Will the differences be big enough to warrant waiting?

If so, can anyone suggest something else?? I like games like Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance, Turok, The Two Towers, Robotech : War Cry.... no racing, no sports, no Vice City (not interested).
Something that is $49.99

Thanks!

MGS 2 Substance is the original MGS 2:SOL plus over 100+ VR Missions and alternate missions called Snake Tales. Only problem with this is you have to wait till early next year for the PS2 version to ship. IMHO it's enough bonus material to warrant waiting for Substance. I bought MGS 2:SOL with last years version of this buy 2 get 1 free amazon deal.

darqleo-MGS2 is going greatest hits next month. Don't use one of your games on it. How about TimeSplitters 2 or Hitman 2?

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm getting Time Splitters 2 instead, and waiting on the Metal Gear.

FYI - For anyone else changing their orders, make sure you log completely out and then back in AFTER cancelling your order. That way you can reuse the coupon code.

Thanks for posting the deal, but I think I'm going to pass too. I really only plan to get Vice City as my sole PS2 purchase this fall, and I can get that at Best Buy for $35. I would have ordered GTA:VC, Shinobi, and Ratchet and Clank, but it of course would not work. Can't see taking money away from my GC and XBox at this point ... even if it is at $35 each.

Plus there's that little thing of how Amazon took FOREVER to ship games during this deal last year. I was several weeks after the release dates before I finally got my ordered games.

Does Best Buy have GTA Vice City listed at $35 in their weekly ad or is there some kind of coupon needed for this offer?

39.99 in the ad. Add a $5 coupon from past issues of EGM/PSM, or the $5 coupon off of BB gift cards. Search around and ye shall find.

Usually not with a deal like this. YMMV however. It never hurts to call around and ask.

I don't know if I'm going to try out this offer ($100 on games is still $100 when I usually wait and get them off eBay for $20) but just for the record, is this really an Amazon order? toysrus.com looks like a joint TRU and Amazon site but after a couple clicks it's all Amazon.

I can't get this to work for me. I'm trying to buy Contra, GTA: Vice City, and Kingdom Hearts. I use the code, but it doesn't show up. Then when I try to apply it again it tells me I can only use it once!! I haven't used it at all. This is so frustrating!!!
