This sale was in the sale flier I got as well but Toys R Us doesn't have it listed on their site because it is an in store only sale. There is another limitation besides signing up for the rewards. It only runs Tuesday from 10am-2pm and you can only buy one per person.

Here is a scan of my sale paper if you want some kind of confirmation.

So, there you...

Good, I certainly won't miss players with your attitude that skip buying this title while I am playing it online. If it eliminates the "I am a hardcore gamer and everyone else doesn't deserve to play" elitists and snobs while growing the community of people who play the game then it works doubly well. God forbid a game tries to make it enjoyable and accessible to people who wouldn't normally take to it or lower the learning curve to get into multiplayer at the base level...

They need to set a firm release date for this game so I can start counting down to release day.

Good for the companies, good for gamers, and good for the charities they are raising money for. Kudos to them.

It is definitely a lot of fun and the matches go quicker than full "regular versus" matches due to the advantage that the infected team has. They didn't activate Realism Versus full time yet but they did say in their blog they will be announcing when it will be placed into the full time modes.

no official release date set yet. "Shooting for Fall 2010" is the closest thing to that so far. I am drooling for this game already. Hopefully this stockpile of May games will last me a while to keep my mind off it.

you get one as soon as you log in to play but the second comes from playing 6 Mutations (the new game mode). you get the gnome of HalfLife 2 and L4D2 fame as an avatar award.

servers down once for two hours since release. Live wasn't down, just Valve's matchmaking server. You could still local host a multiplayer game and play with friends, which I did. Or I could just play another game for a night.

Not a big deal at all.

after sitting in a lobby with a few friends for like 15 minutes around 9pm EST last night and wondering what was going on we finally guessed this was the issue. Apparently they started up in a couple hours. I was hoping to get a last couple rounds in before the DLC today but I'll survive.

It isn't false advertising. It says this right on the box.

"One time use code available with full retail purchase."

Most likely he didn't read the whole box. Either that or he thought the one time use code wasn't used by the original purchaser, which is delusional. Also, he didn't buy it at full retail purchase, he bought it used and discounted (only by $5, but still applies) so the box ad for the quest and character doesn't even apply to the product he ...

just looked at my DA:O box here is exactly what it says on the box.

It isn't Gamestop's fault this guy didn't read the fine print on a product he purchased. I don't shot at Gamestop due to some of their shady practices but this guy is suing th...

then vote with your wallet, it is your right as a consumer. Don't feed them money and use other alternatives to get your games. Yes, it may take some personal effort but "taking a stand" no matter how small normally does.

I personally stopped using Gamestop back when I read the article below, about them taking 2,000+ used games (disks only) from one person in like a 6 month period. The person happened to be a post office worker who was stealing tons of Gamefly games....

They are on XBL and gametrailers as well. The SMART movement and Container City ones are gameplay.

I think it is more like if the kid from those two that you mentioned, and the kid of Team Fortress and Unreal got together and had a kid that would be Brink.

I am really interested in the SMART system. It looks phenomenal, it will ad a whole new level to the twitch ability of games to have parkour style movement as you attack or escape.

There isn't much on my radar between now and this game's release so I will be counting down as it gets closer I am sure.

RF:G was really overlooked last year by a lot of people even though it reviewed very well. It had an extremely varied and fun multiplyaer that was very under-rated as an aspect to the game. I wish people were still playing like they were last year. The campaign was good, even if you only like the destruction aspect, it was worth the playthrough. Considering the quick price drops to $40 last year and how cheap it is now used and new you should go grab it for a run through if you missed it. ...

They didn't even announce how many DLC packs they were going to have before release so saying you never bought it because of that sounds a bit off as a reason for skipping it initially.

They spent another 5 months of post-release work making all this DLC which totals probably 3GB or more and you think it was all supposed to be on the original disk at release and actually fit? That doesn't make sense. They would have had to delay release for sure to get all this stuff on it if i...

there is a bank in the Moxxi DLC that you can expand to up to 42 slots. It doesn't display them on a wall or anything but it is a nice thing especially with all the gear at the end of Knoxx.

I picked it up already. It is definitely good, a solid expansion on the current game. There is some serious difficulty at times too. I spent 50 million dollars (out of the 100 or so I started with) on my soldier just in death tax yesterday.

nothing too drastic. outside of the two things you mentioned they are pretty much the same. The arcade has an onboard memory card. The elite has a headset that I don't know if the arcade has.

I fully admit to getting old/lazy :)

I just don't have the drive to play games on PC anymore, the 3 years I played WoW probably sucked whatever drive I had to do that right out of me. I find L4D2 on 360 to be plenty of fun. Maybe PC would be a bit better but I don't worry about that. I just concern myself over what I enjoy. As long as I am having fun and not impeding anyone else's ability to do so then I am happy. I wish everyone else could get that idea and stop trying to s...
