just need to give props to Old Rooster over at the forum at gonegold.com for finding this deal.

 

[vidgamefan]

Whoa, can you say 'loss leader'?

 

[VisionsUCI]

anybody read any reviews about this game?

 

[SinfulWeeper]

Thanks. It's one of the few stores that ship USPS. I had to jump on this.

But... I couldn't find out how to get my gift certificate to work online . Else the game would have only costed me 5.95 shipped.

Got one!

Don't know if anybody else is selling it. However I think this game is Media and Key only. Shipping weight is 0.5lbs. Unless they don't know how much it weighs yet...

I never had any problems with them other than after I buy something, it sometimes goes on Rollback. :|

 

[Ketteringo]

Its probably the strategy guide! LOL

Anyone notice this? Wal-Mart Item #: 000000000

Weird. Nice price if it does come though!

 

[Johnbear007]

www.ebworld.com has it for 49.99

they have a handbook for 19.99


I bet this is the handbook at walmart, as it isnt even the right picture.... who knows

 

[palidor]

thanks for the post! i ordered one. this is HOT!

it's in the PC games section. it has a section for system requirements. last i checked there arent sys reqs for a handbook

it's probably a mistake, but just pray that they honor this. one heck of a deal

 

[Foghorn]

great deal, let's hope it's better than Unreal 1

 

[monkyskunk]

I am starting to wonder if this price is for the stupid strategy guide as well, if you look at the other coming soon games at walmart, they have Unreal 2:Awakening,Collector Edition listed for 49.97 and I don't think there is a Collector's Edition for this game. And the pricing of 17.97 is more in line for a strategy guide than a new release game. I saved both of the web pages just in case. It starting to look like I gave you guys a bum deal

 

[Foghorn]

I saved the web page, probably a good idea so you can gripe with the poor service desk grunts.

 

[palidor]

amazon has a regular version & collectors edition.. both are $49 though.
should see if the strategy guide is elsewhere on the site

 

[THEJUICE]

It is definitely in the PC GAMES (not guides) section...
I'd rather not receive the guide, then have to argue about it later... should clarify with store... have them honor deal before AnandtechEffect kicks in...

 

[jcrash]

I saved the page as well...

They'll be up against a mountain of protests should they ship us all guides

 

[XCLAN]

dayum, i want this game...but not the strat guide...lol....dunno wut to do?

 

[unclebud]

really hope yawl get it.. if i wasn't so paranoid, i'd go for it
i haven't gotten around to finishing the first one
good luck!

 

[DEFIANT1]

Don't forget about Ebates for another 2% off!

I'm in for a copy!

Great post monkyskunk!

Yah--The first one was good. UT was better, UT2003 is awesome, and Unreal2 will be the best! And notice how no one even mentions Quake anymore.

There's no harm in ordering the WalMart deal and then returning it if it turns out to be not as advertised, is there?

Edit: Here's a link to a guidebooks section. If nothing else, it shows that the guides are in a different section from the software itself.
Game Guidebooks

 

[technician]

I'm in on this one...better than paying $49.99 later on down the road IMO. Wal*Mart is good about returns too, so in case it's not the game I don't mind.

 

[BarMan]

I can't pass this up, I'm ordering and I'll let you all know lol!

 

[ivan2]

err ive heard unreal 2 is single player only, is that right? ill never play single player...

 

[FPSguy]

Awesome! Thanks!
