this is a pretty decent deal for a decent game. http://www.amazon.com/Darkness-Xbox-360/dp/B000HX1P72/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1224352408&sr=8-1 At this price I picked one up. Ends up being just over $8 (3.26 shipping)

The Darkness was great, $5 is a no brainer for this.

Whats funny is that if you start thinking in MS points, you can get Darkness for less than 800 points ($20 = 1600 points). Thats cheaper than many Arcade games.

Yeah, it's a solid game, especially for that price. I got it off of Goozex and played through it a couple weeks ago. I'd give it a solid 8 out of 10.

I just looked it up at Goozex and it's only 200 points?! :eek:

Great deal, thanks for posting it! I'd played through the demo and really enjoyed it, but it was never one of those games I felt like spending $50-60 on. For $8 shipped, I picked it up in a heartbeat.

maybe ill pick this up

Thanks Xero, I picked one up.

Thanks for the heads up... picked it up (for $8... I'll try anything... especially when it has a 83% at gamerankings.com... it definitely can't be too bad).

Thanks,
Just bought one. I have never played a horror game before, so this will be a new one for me, but for that price I am going to try it.

for $9 I'll take it. Thanks.

EDIT: If you are a Amazon prime member they have it available for 6.99 which is a couple $ cheaper than Target.

I spent the whole $60 on this game and I loved it... but at that price it's a no brainer.

Starbreeze is one of my favorite gaming companies. Darkness and Riddick were perfect.

Ordered it, just got an email saying that it's backordered and won't ship for a few weeks. Apparently everyone else in the world who hasn't played it yet jumped on the deal too.

Good deal! I played it when it came out, and liked it. Ordered today. Thanks for the link!

Bought two, one for me & one for a gift. Thanks!

sounds right... point values (should) usually reflect market price.

Unfortunately, we are unable to ship the product(s) as soon as we expected and need to provide you with a new estimate of when they may be delivered:

"The Darkness" [Video Game]
Estimated arrival date: 10/27/2008 - 10/29/2008

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

I played the demo and just couldn't get into it. It would have to get to the $1 bin before I would think about picking it up.

you're definitely missing out.

+1. It's not exactly a light hearted game, but it has a solid story, great voice acting and decent gameplay. It's a bargain at the price it's listed at here and it's a shame it didn't do better financially.

Is this still available? When I go to the link in the OP, it's says it's $19.99.

they sent me another email today saying that it may not ship until november 22

Same here...oh well...not in a rush to receive it. For the price and a game I never considered picking up prior to this deal....I can wait.

It was from target, and according to target's site, they are now out of stock.

I don't think so...The game seemed odd to me. If he was possessed by a demon then why would he need guns? He should have had more demon powers. The gameplay and the graphics were great. I just couldn't get into the Mafia guy/Demon storyline. To each their own I always say.

The Darkness is $7.99 with free shipping at NewEgg.

thanks.. ill cancel my order on amazon since they dont charge you until it ships. it was actually 26 cents cheaper through newegg.

nice i just logged into my account and it said that the game has shipped

Just got an email from Amazon stating that the supplier was canceling my (and I assume everyone else's) orders for this. Bummer.

the one i ordered from newegg arrived in 2 days

Same here. I canceled my Amazon order after they said it would take a month to ship. Ordered from Newegg, paid a few cents less and got it in 2 days.

Ordered my 2 copies from Amazon on Oct 21st, delivered Nov 1st. A lot quicker than I expected, especially after receiving that backorder email.
