This one includes GTA4 though, which I don’t think the earlier sale did. And Bully, though that’s probably inadvisable…

GTA IV and Bully weren’t out back then.

has anyone seen any deals on Rock Band 2 for PS3 lately? Still bitter that I missed the great TRU deal on it a little while before Christmas. Having folks over for UFC tomorrow and I figure thats a good occasion for RB2 if the price is right

Mordrak · 2009-01-30T23:56:30.000Z

They never got around to patching Bully on the PC?

Jab · 2009-01-31T10:38:54.000Z

I guess in honor of the mega patch coming to UT3, on gogamer’s sale this time, UT3 is $9.90.

UT3 can also now be activated on Steam so you could buy the box and then turn it into a digital copy I think.

I just noticed that both Hinterland and Mosby’s Confederacy are on sale on Impulse for $13.39.

No its still unplayable for most people.

Bahimiron · 2009-02-01T11:22:04.000Z

Bully is worth the $130 it would cost a person to get a PS2 and a copy of the game.

Did the official price for a new PS2 drop to $109.99 while I wasn’t looking? I thought it was still at 129.99.

I’ve been flirting with picking up a copy for the 360 but I do still have a PS2 sitting around, is one version much better than the other? I figure they’re both probably pretty cheap at this point.

frank_austin · 2009-02-01T12:32:55.000Z

Picked up Hinterland. Seems like a good price for that game. Thanks for the heads up, Taranis!

ioticus · 2009-02-01T14:05:53.000Z

I picked up Hinterland too but it keeps crashing on me :(

Well, the 360 version introduces a bit of new content (and achievements, of course) but the port is bad and buggy. And what little I saw of the new content (new classes) was a pain in the ass. So in general I think I’d go with the PS2 version, which I played to completion.

Also Children of the Nile and Alexandria.

Damn. That’s not CotN and Alexandria bundled for $13.
