Xbox game advice needed
I'm planing on doing the TRU Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal on 3 xbox platinum hits games. There are four games I'm interested in. Maybe you can help me decide.
Silent Hill 2
Dead to Rights
Spiderman
007: Nightfire
Which three do you think are the best overall or which give you the most bang for the buck?

This sounds off topic, but it really isn't. If you really want these games, then get them during this promotion, but your savings are minimal compared to the routine Best Buy deal. Since you get $5 off any title with the gamer's cards, to buy three titles would be $14.99 X 3 or $45. If you go with the TRU deal, you're getting those 3 games for $40 (and that's assuming you get the lower price on Nightfire with is questionable since TRU can be slow to drop prices). So you'd save $5. Nice, but maybe not worth the hassel and certainly negated by shipping costs if you did the promotion online.
If however, you were to buy three $50 titles instead for example, you would then get those three titles for $100 or $33.33 each instead of $44.99 at Best Buy. That would be a much better deal.
Just something to think about...

so you could even save having to use the coupons (or if your BB cooperates you could PM and if you have some of the $5 off Platinum Hits games (no min price) coupon from the Best Buy summer game guide, you could really make out well. )
I've done the PM against Target's price a couple of times and used the coupon without a problem, but others have had issues.

I recommend Nightfire, Dead to Rights, and Spiderman. I hated Silent Hill 2.

Also, CC and BB routinely have certain Platinum Hits titles for 14.99 (or 9.99 rarely). Use the $5 off coupon (no minimum, from the free Gamer's Guide magazine in store) and get these games for 9.99.
I did this at CC with THPS4, Spiderman, and Max Payne last month.
