Battlefield Bad Company 2 PC version $39.90 +shipping @ Gogamer (B&N dead)

[Terzo]

***New deal, credit to GullyFoyle, post #94***

Not nearly as sweet as this (non-)deal, but gogamer has this on sale this weekend, as part of their regular 48 Hour Madness sale, for $10 off, making the PC Version $40.

Apparently there is also 10% bing cash back available as well, though I haven't tried ordering yet. This price is sweet but I'm not sure if I'll get around to playing it a lot, especially considering my older system and weak wireless connection.

For the actual mechanics of verification DICE has provided players with two options; one online, one offline.

The offline authentication is intended for those who don't have an internet connection or who aren't comfortable with the idea of an install limit and is a basic disc check system that requires the CD to be in the drive whenever the game is run.

The online option means you only need the disc to install the game, but limits you to only ten concurrent installs. Install credits are automatically refunded, so to speak, whenever the game is uninstalled - though you'll need to be online for both the installation and uninstallation. The online authentication only needs to run once though, then you can run the game for 10,000 days (27 years) before being forced to authenticate again.

wow i'm tempted to get this, but it would force me to upgrade my computer sooner than later

 

[Miklebud]

Is this for real? How come it's so cheap? It goes for $50 everywhere else...

EDIT- I pulled the trigger anyways. We'll see if it gets canceled!

 

[Capt Caveman]

Wow, super Hot Deal. And yeah, it must be a price mistake but I'll bite.

 

[Makubex GB]

Good deal. I would bite if I hadn't already pre-ordered it in Steam.

 

[slayer202]

thanks for the heads up. ordered, hope it goes through

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Came to $25 w/ shipping and tax. Thanks a lot OP!

 

[jackstar7]

Hope it works out. In for two.

 

[pontifex]

is this game any good (for the beta people)? Is it more like the original Bad Company game or is it more like BF2?

$20 is a hell of a deal for a new game.

 

[Nemmeh]

It's pretty fun, my team is really enjoying the beta thus far. We competed in BF2, BF2142, and are still playing COD4. I think it's going to be a nice change.

 

[Rockinacoustic]

Just checked the SD thread on this. A few people have confirmed (or at least claimed to) with a B&N rep that the UPC doesn't match. Refunds ahoy!

 

[AFurryReptile]

I jumped on it. At worst I'll get a refund.

bought 20

bought 20

I hope you are kidding! If not I suggest a ban, or at least a temp ban...

 

[superHARD]

If drew726 didn't ruin it, I bought 1, fingers crossed.

 

[Schmide]

Lame.

I'm in for one.

 

[footballrunner800]

thanks hope it goes through!

 

[Karsten]

Doubt it will get through but the Game is worth the full price. Enjoying the Beta a great deal!

 

[flyboy84]

In for one! I really loved BF2, hope it's more along those lines.

 

[Tristicus]

Considering they have the game listed on their site under the whole name and "limited edition", and pre-launch I've heard nothing about anything BUT that edition, I'm pretty sure it is a mistake.

 

[brencat]

In for one!!! $24.54 after tax shipped. Nice deal OP...if it goes through (says shipping from Gamestop)

 

[ViviTheMage]

damn nice price!

 

[SunnyD]

It does say "Pre-Order" on the checkout button. You're probably only buying a pre-order reservation.

 

[ivan2]

man i got to have this game.

 

[zetachi]

most likely it was mislabeled. Probably the game guide
