Leave it to cheaters to spoil a good experience.

 

[shagman]

can anyone else confirm this? This would be soooo awesome, since I held off until the price dropped a bit.

 

[alm4rr]

nice price

i'll still wait for bargain bin tho

 

[howdysir]

this game has serious performance issues (stuttering) reported by many users

 

[kamranziadar]

nice price

 

[klaxon]

i'll assume ``ggc'' in the topic summary means best buy's gamers gift card, which gives $5 off.

has anyone had problems using the GGC with PC games? my bestbuy (in san francisco) gave me no end of hassle when i did this for battlefield vietnam - they insisted that the GGC was for games only, not computer software, and by games only they meant software for game consoles. i made a fuss and they did some special manager's override, but they insisted that the GCC is only for console titles and not valid for pc games.

still, $45 is a deal.

These are the people that are probably trying to run the game on a Celeron 566 cpu with 64 megs of memory.

They patched the stuttering last week.

sweet! i bought my copy two weeks ago and was banking on PMing on their 30 day policy

 

[xerocool]

oh and in response to the GGC, i tried it once at the BB in westwood, they said they wouldn't take it because it's a computer game and not a video game.....

 

[alm4rr]

Is it me, or is BB usually having the best prices on newly released pc games?

 

[PMoore]

So this starts on the 5th or right now?

 

[PMoore]

According to bestbuy.com they have it for 54.99 still. Is it only at B&M?

Inly if you don't have a Fry's. Fry's almost always has new games on release day for $37.99.

 

[alm4rr]

hahaha

I went to the BB site and looked it up
and I saw a link that said, "Save $50!"

So hey I want to save $50 bucks and I click it to find out to save $50, I have to buy a $1,049.99 PC
But that alone doesn't qualify for saving $50 bux... you then have to buy another software title!

Talk about *HOT*

It didn't work, according to a large number of of folks on a 300 page thread in Valve's official forum. Many with killer setups.

That's what I thought. I'm glad we got that cleared up.

Does BestBuy have a price-matching thing after the purchase like some stores do?

Cause I bought it for $55 the day it came out.



ps. Why do people who have not experienced the stuttering problems complain about them? It's an amazing game, and it runs flawlessly on my modest computer.

most of the people who have stuttering need to defrag their harddrives.
