well now I know why they were offering it for free with one year contract to WoW. Cant wait til one of you that are justifying this get ripped off buy buying a 1.00$ item to later find out you been tricked by buying it for 100$ or even 1000$. Happen's all the time in WoW why not Diablo 3 with real money? Time to cancel pre-order i like to play to for fun not pay for it again and again.( all of a sudden the X-box 720 not being able to play used games dosen't seem as big as a ripoff compared to Blizzard, at least i can see microsofts purpose in that)
what doe's gamestop expect to gain from this except loss of respect an credibility. Sounds very shady and Gamestop is not the only place to purchase Games Bestbuy, Walmart, Toy's R' Us , etc..
i have been staying away from digital versions of most game's. The main reason why is if i lose internet for what ever reason i can't play the game that i bought at Full retail price. X-box Live is good for that. You pay full price to down load Red Dead Redemption for example you get DC'ed , dog chomps's on your cable , or what ever reason and you can't play no more but, if you have the physical disk you can still enjoy the game without internet problems
The good part about the digital download feature is if your consol or PC fries you can always re-download it, an that's about it. i have down loaded about 8 games in the past year from xbox live an lost my internet for a few weeks. I could not play any of my games that i bought at "full price". It seems like because i had no internet i got ripped off. Well i have learned my lesson, with the accual disk you can play every time, bring it over you friends house , and can even buy it used at half to a third of the price. i mean the Original Assassins Creed 20$ on Xbox live 7$ at Gamestop
i should have known better. not offering a demo like most. to me a playable demo means confidence in your product. i blindly pre-ordered and i got what i got. Mercenaries 2 got a bad rating as well but i enjoyed it a alot more.for people looking for a decent dungeon crawler i'd say save your cash and wait for diablo 3 or dungeon siege 3
so why did it take so long for a review for Hunted and Red Faction Armageddon already got a review and it not even out yet? i don't always agree with Gamespot's reviews they can be a bit critical at times on some and too kind on others
and developer's cry about the used market? It a 60$ piece of crap like this that makes me not pre-order and buy used games more often. an ya notice Brink (6.0) and Hunted (5.0) both made by Bethesda. I wouldn't doubt Rage bombing.
i noticed that too JoeBigfoot. a few months back i went to buy Mass effect 2 and they were trying to push the used copy on me for only a few bucks difference an with no instructions and scratch to hell lol!
I do buy alot of games for Direct to Drive, Steam and from xbox marketplace it does have it advantages like if your disk get scratched or stolen your out of a game , where digital download you can always redownload if you fry your xbox or pc. I do feel for the develper's for getting screwed but 2nd hand stores, i really wish when i buy a used game i could put the cash back in there pockets. But when im at best buy or walmart and say Dragon age is 60$ and its 25$ at gamestop used it just makes more sense to buy used
