Yes, but why would you do a preorder if you're concerned about a deep discount in a few months? I'm holding out for a real sale or 2 to get me to at least $60 and then maybe I'd look at something approaching MSRP.

We should also be seeing some B2G1 from different stores in the next 4 - 6 weeks. That's a huge discount stacked with GCU.

Decker

I don't think we've ever seen B2 G1 stacked with GCU. Best Buy hasn't offered it since starting GCU and won't match and give GCU discount as well.

fujishig

Eh, I figure the newer the game, the longer it'll take to go to deep discount (unless it's made by Ubisoft).

mattysemo247

We definitely have, I picked up 6 games last year during one once I knew I was picking up an XB1.

bippitty

Yes. I remember doing a B2G1 shortly after signing up for GCU last year.

Boy, I should have waited on that dumb Godzilla game.

mattysemo247

I'm showing Metro Redux at $12.50? Still a good deal though.

For the 4 people that don't own Bastion on one platform or another, $6 for the PS4 version sounds like a steal.

And even if it's a PS3 game, MotorStorm Apocalypse for $2.25 makes for a fun night.

I'm a little disappointed that there are no discounts on The Vanishing of Ethan Carter or SOMA.

Decker

No, you should have passed on that dumb Godzilla game altogether.
It was $15.99 with GCU this past week as a DoTD, but I still passed on it.


Yeah, my mistake there. Will fix my post. And yes, it's a great deal still.

chuckd21

Eh, it's fine. I don't really regret getting it. Still. Glad I didn't know about the DotD I missed!

Michael Corvin

Grabbed Rapture. Anyone play White Night or know much about it? Looks pretty intriguing. Price is right.

Keith6601

Badland is one of those so simple but so addicting games. The co-op is a blast.

Decker

This IGN review commentary talked me out of it.

I picked up Metro Redux, Don't Starve, Bastion, and Everyone's Gone to the Rapture. 4 games (well, 5 technically) for $31. Not bad.

No one will buy it, but The Bureau : Xcom Declassified is easily one of the most underrated games I have ever played. It is Mass Effect set in the 50's...the combat is a direct rip of Mass Effect, and while the story is not as good, it is fun. Especially on the hardest setting, it is easily worth 4 bucks.

chuckd21

Four bucks? I dunno...

Decker

Alright fox, you sold me. Bought it with 10 minutes left in the sale.

If I get up to $60 spent by Nov 1, I'll just pre-order Ratchet & Clank and get that $15 back. Seems likely I'll hit that mark, especially with that $10 Zen Pinball Animation Domination pack coming tomorrow.

mndtrp

Thanks for the info. I haven't liked the normal Xcom games, so knowing that this is closer to Mass Effect makes me interested.

Decker

You might want to check your email today. I (and others on CAG) just got an email from Paypal :



So it seems this counts as $60 spent, but would only cost you $50 and would therefor count as $60 of the $100 you need to spend by Nov 3 to get $15 back from PSN.

It makes buying a single game digitally a pretty good deal (especially one without a pre-order credit from Best Buy like Uncharted 4 or Just Cause 3).

joeblow69

Looks like there's a halloween sale going on. Mostly crap, but looks like Grim Fandango for $6, I think that's a good deal?

Decker

I think so. It's a cool old adventure game and it's Cross-Buy, Cross-Play with the Vita. Not really all that remastered, but it's fun to play an Oldie but Goodie sometimes. Still looks nice enough.

I wouldn't be shocked to see it go free one of these days though.
