It never got played and is now up on Half for $7.99 (which would be kinda funny if it sold). But other games like Prince of Persia, Dark Sector, Dead to Rights, etc..the same bloody thing.

Yet...I'm still looking at Brink. *sigh* and I KNOW...if I go near a Bestbuy today I would pick it up.

Don't get rid of Dead to Rights. That game is fun as balls. And Brink sucks. Don't buy Brink and keep Dead to Rights. There.

I agree. Dead to Rights and Dark Sector are both way better than Brink. Don't fall in to the trap of thinking just because Brink is newer its better, its not.

I thought about getting Brink. Thought long and hard. Then I decided to put that $5 towards a Mexican chicken salad at Cafe Rio for lunch rather than eating Pot Roast in the cafeteria. I think I made the right choice.

If you have a Thorntons gas station in your area (IL, IN, KY, TN, OH), check for a display stand with 360 cards. 1600 point cards and 3 month Live cards are $5 off.

Amazon will have the Gears of War 3 pack as a lightning deal at 2:15 pacific

EDIT: Meh, 17.99. I was hoping for a BF-type price.

Red Faction Armaggedon on sale at Best Buy for $29.99. If you are subscribed to their Gamer Magazine, there's a $20 off for this game. Good deal. Bought it even though I really am not that familiar with the game.

Smoking deal? No, but you can get Batman: Arkham City for $39.99 (360, PS3) at Amazon if you missed out on the $30 point over BF, or if you need to grab a gift for someone. It's $30 for PC.

I know everyone probably has these already, but Gamestop is doing a B1G2 sale on Guitar Hero/Rock Band/DJ Hero stuff this Friday only.

Thanks for that. I've been looking for a drum set with cymbals and microphone for the Wii for a while now. I already have two guitars.

Forgot to mention that it's used only. I figured that was a known fact for any sale at Gamestop. Doubt you'll find any instruments in this deal.

Quick heads-up, Best Buy has Crysis 2(both formats) as a DOTD for just $9.99(in store pick-up only)-

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Electron...at257000050031

I assume that this will expire in the next hour or two.

I hope they honor the deal. The copy of Alice: Madness Returns that I ordered 2 weeks ago from them for $20 shipped is still listed as back-ordered.

I got mine already, so I suspect it's just an honest case of being backordered.

I can't believe I bought the regular version for full price with $30 coupon at Kmart on launch week. No more.

Yeah, crazy prices today at the Bestbuy outlet stuff. Told myself I really shouldn't buy anymore stuff with the recent Thanksgiving haul, and a backlog so deep that I couldn't even get through if I had months off from work. The Bestbuy DOTD is def something to keep an eye on- i've snagged AC Brotherhood, and now Crysis 2 from there for $10
