Got ac4, battle4, kill zone from target. Putting battle field 4 online immediately to sell it.
You don't have to rush to Target. Target has in-store pick-up for online orders.
EDIT: I'm still waiting for the reviews to go live tomorrow. My PC is rather beefy, so I don't see the point in getting games like AC4 for it.
Received Battlefield 4, Killzone and Madden from Amazon today. This is the first time I've bought a console at launch - it's weird to have games in my hand where the review embargo still isn't lifted because the console isn't out yet.
That plus the fact it is completely impossible to play the game anyway! Amazon sold out of killzone in the past hour or two. Ps2 is the only console I ever bought near launch. I recall paying $400 as well and that was 12 years ago!
Dude, that is bogus. Not cool. Unless this is some policy I haven't heard of where they take in games from other stores.
Wal Mart takes back anything they sell. Since Wal Mart sells the game he does not desire, he plans on taking the game into Wal mart with no receipt for a refund via a store gift card. Wal Mart will give him a gift card for in store use only. He will then purchase the game he wants with his store gift card.
PS2 was $400 at launch? That sounds pretty ballsy for back then... I never got one around release so no idea. Same with original Xbox, although I thought I recall that being $299.
Has there ever been a decent console launch line-up with A+ first party titles? Its usually the usual suspects quick to market with their 15th cross platform iteration of Madden, Spongebob, Wheel of Fortune, Hanna Montanna, Dance Party, and crap like that.
I dont know if this counts but the Wii just needed Wii Sports. It might not be considered AAA, but it was the system seller.
Wii Sports wasn't a system seller so much as the new waggle motion controller gimick and the Wii having "the latest trendy white iDevice coffee table appliance for your cool hip living room" appeal.
Wii's success was a 1 time fluke that isn't likely to be repeated.
Its what made the console viable. Without Wii Sports at launch, I dont think it would have sold nearly as well. People 50 or older wanted a Wii to play Wii Sports.
You would think there would be more 1st party games for launch. Why Sony didn't have The Last of Us, next version of GT, and Uncharted game, something, ready at launch is beyond me. I guess they think Killzone is a big deal. At least MS has Forza.
its because naughty dog knows that they will make a shitload more money putting those games out on ps3 because of the install base. unless sony gives them a huge financial incentive, it just doesn't make sense for them to do that. but we will see those games coming out over the next year. i believe uncharted was out on ps3 about a year after launch, and naughty dog had resistance early for ps3, and ratchet and clank was less than a year after launch. we'll start to see some really good games hopefully early next year.

Had a lunch meeting and didn't get in on the Amazon deal early enough. Only game I will get this weekend appears to Knack. I might try Target and see if they have anything.
I thought Naughty Dog was owned by Sony, and I think Imsoniac did Resistance.
