Misleading thread title. Episode One, not the base game.

thinking about picking that up today. why not for 8 bones

Not bad considering it came out less than a month ago at $20.

HL-2 (full-game) you can find occassional $0.99 bargain bin deals on. You usually need to send your CD-Key to Valve to get it reset ... takes about 2 weeks and costs $texas (I think five bucks or so). Check slickdeals.net for those bargain bins ... got one for my younger brother about a year ago.

takes about 1 week and is free. i just did it 2 weeks ago. all i had to do was take a picture of the cdkey label and submit it as a question, they reassigned the key to my steam account the next week.

i told my friend i'd get episode 1 if it was only $10 instead of $20, so i might have to get this now.

went by a circuit city today and they didnt have any, but aparently they get their shipments on tuesdays, so they should tomorrow.

however i thought it was funny when i asked an employee if they had any and he said "i haven't seen that in a looooong time"

nice try buddy

^I stopped going to Circuit City about 2 years ago. Every time I went in looking for something that was on sale they were always out of said item. It didn't matter what day of the week it was - they just never had their sale items.

^that usually happens to me.... i should just not bother going and price match at another store

6/13/2006 4:12:50 PM

so i tried again today. checked circuit city's webpage and the game was in stock. went there and they were sold out but the website still said "in stock". the lady said they recieved 4 copies and they were all sold earlier. never again circuit city, never again...

went to best buy and price matched it, they had like 30 copies.

I've come to the conclusion that Circuit City just runs sales to get people into their stores, not because they actually have the items on sale there.

you could oh, i don't know, call the stores before bothering to go over there.

6/14/2006 8:22:57 AM

well their own website said it was "In Stock"
but i live like 2 miles from circuit city so its not a big deal

6/14/2006 11:55:48 AM

we just got like 3 more copies in today, i'm pretty sure all 3 copies were still there when i left.

6/14/2006 4:55:13 PM

I'm sure 3 copies will be more than sufficient to cover the demand that putting this on sale has generated.

6/14/2006 5:02:54 PM

^ lol, so true

BestBuy is where its at
