At Best Boycot this weekend (via CAG):

Major League Baseball 2K8 >>>> $9.99
Face Breaker >>>> $9.99
Condemned 2: Bloodshot >>>> $9.99
Turok >>>> $9.99
Ninja Gaiden II >>>> $9.99

I plan to pick up NG2 for sure, I rented Condemned 2 when it first came out and I'd say it's worth it for that price. Turok is tempting too...

FYI - If you're in an area that may have limited stock you should be able to buy the games today and get a refund this weekend with their price match policy.

Thanks for the heads up, that's a great deal on Ninja Gaiden II & Condemned 2, I wish I didn't have them already. I might grab FaceBreaker, even though I've heard it's pretty bad, it's probably worth that price.

I'm confused does the game get more fun when you pay less money for it? ;)

Anyway Ninja Gaiden 2 = bought.

not a $10 deal, but bad company will be $20 at worst buy next week. and is $20 now on amazon but you need prime or you have to pay for shipping, or buy a filler.

NGII and maybe Turok bought. I don't even think facebreaker is worth 10 bux

Turok for $9? I'll def pick that up, thanks for the heads-up!

Bummer to look at that list and realize I paid full price for two of the games when they came out. :(

Yep, I was the sucker who pre-ordered both NGII and Condemned 2:Bloodshot.

-JRHaha. Yeah, I bought Condemned 2 at full price as well and have only played through the first two chapters so far. :(

Similar thing happened with Brothers in Arms: HH...picked it up at Toys R Us when they did the buy 2 get one free deal only to see every store on earth sell it for $20 a month later. :o At least I only paid $40 for it in the deal, but still.

NG2 is def a steal! I personally think its worth way more than $10 because its such a great game....and I paid full price, lol! Best non-stop action game for 360!

If I can find them, I will buy all 5. I think that $10 (= ~800 MS points) is an absolute steal. People are dropping that much and more for 'map packs' and arcade games.

Just got back from picking up NG2. Didn't think any of the rest were worth it...

My closest one stocked 2 copies of NG2 and of course were sold out by the time I got there (like 45 minutes after they opened lol). Luckily there's a CC at the other end of the strip and they price matched without a problem.

/edit - Just looked at the receipt and saw CC rang me up at 7.99....sweet.

Yep, you can order the games on line and pick them up at the stores (or have it shipped for a charge). I was up late last night so I ordered all of them for local pick up. In the morning the store that I picked did not have NG2, so I was offered a different store or free shipping. I decided to pick a different store (close to work), so I picked them all up today. FYI they also have Simpsons Game and Hail to the Chimp for $9.99 as well. Add BF:BC, UT3, ET:QW for $19.99 each, these are some really good prices. Now the only problem is time......

I just posed this in the GH thread. While not a game, if anyone has a Meijer store near them (mostly Midwest states), they are selling the wireless Les Paul guitar for $9.99.

Yeah...I saw UT3 for 19.99 and have been considering it....not sure what to do on that one.

lol, turok @ $60 is a turd...

LMAO! So true.

My son spent his hard earned money on this game when it came out (had Turok on PS2 and was really excited about this one). I usually make him pay for his own games. Felt so bad for him on this one that we traded it in and I paid the difference on a new game he chose. He's getting wiser now choosing games. LOL!

Same price for the PS3 guitars?

Its realy not that bad a game. the 'campaign' is really a bunch of matches against bots (and the insane ones are truely that, insane), but with 4 players co-op, the game is fun.

The real fun is in the multiplayer, with so many mutators, the game can become a twitch fest really fast. The problem is that the on-line community has dwindled (though for the enthusiast, there are some regular game nights). I throw the game in now and then to help friends, and every time I think to myself, why are more people not playing this, the game is pretty fun. For $9.99-$14.99 this is a blind buy, for $19.99, its a close call.

"Same price for PS3 guitars?"

My Meijer had a huge stack of 360 ones and Wii ones, but no PS3. However, they did have another guitar that stated it was compatible with all Rock Band and Guitar Hero games for PS3 that was $10. I didn't notice what brand it was though.

I went to CC on lunch to try and grab NG2 and have them price match BB. They told me they couldn't price match it because BB is out of stock??

Anyone else have this issue? Wondering if it's worth trying to hit another CC after work.

If you bring in the ad itself I'm pretty sure they have to honor it (according to their policy). But if you just tell them about the price, they're supposed to call and verify stock and pricing.

But they don't *have* to do anything. The most you could do is report them to corporate, and I think they have bigger things to worry about than a store not honoring a $10 video game price match. ;)
