so it comes out tuesday/wednesday, anyone picking this up? there was supposed to be a demo out before the release date but i guess not...

3/5/2006 10:02:33 PM

omg, this comes out tuesday?

I haven't gotten a 360 game since launch, I'll prolly pick either this or fight night up.

3/5/2006 10:06:47 PM

i highly recommend fight night. i have fifa 06, nba 2k6, madden 06, call of duty 2, and fight night. top 2 most played games are fifa 06 and fight night. i think im going to trade my nba 2k6 for college hoops 2k6 on tuesday.

3/5/2006 10:13:16 PM

where do you trade?

3/5/2006 11:52:31 PM

well either take it to eb or wherever and just take my money or i could sell it on ebay and get a little more. nba 2k6 is for sale in the classifieds for $30...

3/6/2006 12:58:46 AM

you just mean you will trade in your nba 2k6 and then pay the difference between that and college hoops 2k6 right? you can't actually trade them straight up can you?

3/6/2006 8:39:12 AM

heh no, unless you find someone here or on craigslist or something.

3/6/2006 9:45:01 AM

thats what i figured. i didnt know if maybe EB was runnin a deal of some sort

3/6/2006 10:08:12 AM

they had one for a bit where you could trade 2 for 1 i think.

since I am the resident EB employee, I am happy to inform you that if you trade in two 360 games, you get one for free...no exclusions

Burnout comes out Wednesday too

3/6/2006 11:28:18 AM

so does that make my game worth $30 trade in value? i dont think i have another to trade.

3/6/2006 11:35:06 AM

depends on the title. i called and asked about these two and here are their values at the Crossroads EB:

Kameo -- $17
PGR3 -- $22

But I didn't know about the trade two, get one free thing. maybe i'll do that.

3/6/2006 5:24:32 PM

god damn, a new rainbox six now too...but it looks wayyy better. im excited to see these new games coming out that look better and better. screenshots here...

3/6/2006 6:32:13 PM

games are amazing

once i get my 360 back from the shop im sure to pick these up, should be fun

3/6/2006 7:04:10 PM

an individual game is still just worth it's particular trade value, i.e. Quake 4 trades in for $24 but if you trade two it bumps it up to basically cover the cost of a new game, whatever you choose

Burnout and College Hoops come out this week along with Ghost Recon of course

3/7/2006 1:58:45 AM

ah, i dont think i have anything else to trade in. eb should have college hoops today...

3/7/2006 9:56:49 AM

damnit

EB doesn't have it today. i called them and they said tomorrow.

3/7/2006 10:45:29 AM

i think it ships today, which means tomorrow. best buy and all those stores said thursday for this game. however, eb should have college hoops 2k6 today!

3/7/2006 11:16:20 AM

yes, College Hoops should be today since it supposedly shipped yesterday...that remains to be seen though

3/7/2006 11:42:11 AM

3/7/2006 1:57:27 PM

3/8/2006 7:52:12 PM

yeah dude, fucking wow. This game is amazing! GR:AW FOR THE WIN

3/9/2006 1:21:55 AM

I picked up this game this afternoon. gephelps and I played the co-op mode for a while. Then I downloaded the Outfit demo.

We both had MUCH more fun playing the outfit demo.

3/9/2006 1:25:05 AM

im dl'ing the outfit soon, my wireless network has been gay recently though.

3/9/2006 8:50:17 AM

my wireless network is gay all the time

3/9/2006 9:54:21 AM

it'll be so nice for like a week then suck for 6 months. we should all get some outfit going tomorrow, ive got no class and wanna try it out.

3/9/2006 10:15:03 AM

The reviews for College Hoops suck, looks like GRAW all the way.

I will buy a copy of GR for 40 from one of you all that is complaining about the game

3/9/2006 10:52:12 AM

hahah a steal

3/9/2006 11:07:08 AM

if you like college bball, its fun. im having fun with college hoops after i put all the names of players in the game...im going to pick up graw though too. my thoughts on the outfit demo are blah. i dont think its anything special and it didnt keep my attention long enough. not worth buying for me...

3/9/2006 7:00:12 PM

man i keep getting stuck on this solo mission in GRAW.

3/9/2006 8:38:50 PM

^but how is the game overall? been thinking about getting it, all these rave reviews.

3/9/2006 8:45:54 PM

GRAW is more for tactical - single death and you are out type players

Outfit is for fast paced craziness with respawns

I like both so far

3/9/2006 9:13:04 PM

^^it's pretty damn good, IMO. it's awesome sniping guys through the tires of an apc from the prone position and stuff like that. i'm not the best at games like this, so that's why i have some trouble with a few levels, but i got past that one i was complaining about earlier.

overall i definitely think the game is worth buying. the xbox live aspect seems pretty good too, although i haven't played it much at all (still tryin to beat single player).

3/10/2006 3:36:11 AM

is every level city based? cause the whole game is supposed to take place in mexico city, jw if there was anything else besides levels in the city...

3/10/2006 11:26:57 AM

so far i've done levels in the city, military bases, etc. it's all been in mexico so far, but i mean it isn't like all the missions are runnin through the streets of mexico city GTA style.

LIES!!!

i called them yesterday, and they said yeah, you get the game for free with the trade in, but you have to pay the sales tax on the game.

3/10/2006 11:30:21 AM

^this is correct, as it is what i did

3/10/2006 11:42:57 AM

still more than you'd get for those games anyways.

3/10/2006 11:45:09 AM

yeah, i think the trade-in value was $37 total for madden 06 and kameo, so they added an extra $23 with their deal.

3/10/2006 11:52:18 AM

it is definetly worth it, i would just being facetious

3/10/2006 12:03:30 PM

i only have 1 game to trade in...the eb at the mall said theyd change the trade in value to $30 because of the deal...what a nice manager...

3/10/2006 1:09:31 PM

^damn, that is a nice guy

and yeah you have to pay the tax - $.01, haha...sorry!

3/10/2006 1:11:50 PM

trade ins are about the dumbest thing

3/10/2006 1:18:57 PM

you are about the dumdest thing. why can you and other idiots like yourself get it in your goddamn heads that everyone does what they want to with thier money, and you do what you want with your money.
