Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
You guys are still missing the fact that LA Noire isn't really a "Rockstar Game". All the other ones mentioned n Nickdawgys post were DEVELOPED and published by a Rockstar location. LA Noire is developed by Team Bondi with "Rockstar Games" in a supportive role. Now, Team Bondi may be consumed by Rockstar at some point then be called Rockstar Bondi - but until then...
(Also...going the Best Buy route for me is essentially $35 for the game, and that's worth the risk based on my feelings about Rockstar branded releases.)

I associate Rock Star with repetitive sandbox games with rigid controls, I really hope LA Noire doesn't fall into that genre.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
After looking at fro talk about BB, I changed my mind largely because I wasn't sure I'd find a sub-$20 game in stock at K-Mart I cared about. And I checked my RZ Gamer's Club account and I was $18 away from the next $10 bonus from that.
So, if my math is correct:
$60 out of pocket for the game and $15 gift card. Future $10 from 500 point pre-order bonus. Another future $10 from rolling over the $150 spent on games. Possibly enough to roll over the regular $250 for another $5.
Also I get an exclusive DLC outfit that I can sell on eBay or Amazon?
Done.
EDIT: I forgot there's some bullshit that I can't use my RZ account when I order online. Says some stuff doesn't match, so I guess I'll just do it in store. Bonus, I have $15 in RZ coupons already so it'll be $45 out of pocket.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
That does sound like a good deal as well. I'm still going the Kmart route since I just got a $15 gift card for Lego POTC and might still pick up a $15 coupon with MX vs ATV Alive this week.
Do we know for sure you get the $10 credit and the $15 GC at Best Buy?
And any opinions on Singularity?

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
Yes, you get both. I almost finished the checkout process just now but for the stupid RZ info mis-match. One's a pre-order bonus through the Gamer's Club. The other's a deal for everyone at POS.

Where online does it say you get the $10 for pre-ordering LA Noire? I've scoured the site. See the $15, see the Sharpshooter suit (BFD). Saw preorder bonus points for Brink, but not for this game.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
Yes...the game could be terrible, but Rockstar has a pretty strong record of putting out quality product. Even putting their name on it means something to most people. If the game comes out and is terrible a lot of people will definitely get burned, sure, but with everything I've seen thus far I'm not too concerned for myself as far as enjoyment level. However....I'm also cynical, so I'd still go ahead and get your "Told you guys!" posts all ready to go for next Tuesday.
(Also...going the Best Buy route for me is essentially $35 for the game, and that's worth the risk based on my feelings about Rockstar branded releases.)

And I will be one of those people who's burned, as it's already paid off in full. My preorder is not based on the rockstar name as it seems a lot of people put a ton of faith in, but merely on the type of game that's being portrayed.

Rock Star is bringing something to the table with the Social Club integration, so I guess that's pretty cool. There's even a feature where you can see how other people responded at certain junctures of each case ("intuition").

Re : Bonus Suit DLC : I get the appeal of a bonus case, like Game Stop and Wal Mart are getting, but with these suits, I don't. Is there any fundamental difference between playing with a stat-boosting armor and playing the game at a lower difficulty level? I can't really see it, except perhaps in the amount of Nerd Points you might end up earning for beating the game.

Decker just asked the same question and I linked him up a few posts ago. It's part of the Gamer's Club on the Reward Zone.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
you have to call them and fix it. i had the same problem with my RZ account and it was due to me moving and have 2 different addresses: my current address for shipping and my old address on my RZ card. pretty easy fix for the RZ CSR, IIRC.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
My math was similar to pinatas on the value of BB over other retailers. The other big plus is my buddy wants to play and is willing to wait a little, so he's going to give me cash for half the cost of the game once I'm done with it.

Re: Whatever happened to LA Noire? -here's some info
The frustrating bit is everything that I can see matches up so there's some crap in their private system that isn't being updated by the customer-facing systems. So stupid.

I'm sticking with Kmart since I have $60 in coupons from the Portal 2/Mortal Kombat deal that they ran.
