I have no idea if they will accept it though since it will be printed from a printer and its as big as a Xobx, literally.

The rebate states that it goes to RebatesHQ.com, but I could not find it online. What's up? Is it real?

rebateshq.com, yah, i don't see it on that site either. Maybe they don't put up certain rebates up there...dunno...i got the above pic from vgtalk forums... can anyone confirm if the pic is the same one as the one they got at the store?

 

[unclebud]

these are transworld rebates thru rebates hq (i did the fye rebate for scarface dvd that is supposedly being processed). maybe that's the reason, dunno
would like to mention that if anyone is trying to get the rebate while in the store, dealing with another clerk (who knows their job) is worth a try.
the first two csrs were adamant that there was no rebate on that scarface dvd
came back the next night, dealt with a new one, he found the form in the bottom of the cash register drawer

I don't own a PS2 or XBox. But wan't to get one. Can some one help me picking one out.
should I go for this deal or get a PS2. I wan't something with 2 controllers !!

 

[RagingBITCH]

Um, no video game system comes prepackaged with 2 controllers. Get the XBox.

 

[gluck]

hmm !! So do you have to buy an extra controller ? Didn't the nintendos come with 2 conrollers ?

 

[unclebud]

not from the pictures i've seen... the one controller bundle has been in practice since the atari 2600 (maybe the 5200 had two controlers, but i think they soon regretted it)
NO system is supreme. get a system for the games wanted (research the games), ie halo only comes out for xbox (?).

 

[ironk]

^^ what he/she said.

Get the system you like the games for, so right now the biggest games are:

xbox: Halo(2), Knights of old republic, Ninja Gaiden. I would avoid the xbox if i was a rpg fan at all costs (unless Fable ever comes out). You have to pay $50/yr to get online via xbox Live in addition to your already broadband fees. Good thing about the xbox is that its very hackable (see xbox-scene.com) and comes built in with a 8gb hd (no need for memory cards ala Ps2 for now), ethernet connection, and four controller ports. Unlike the PS2 which only has 2 controller ports.

PS2: None of the above games but pretty much everything else. Note that some of the pc to PS2 game conversions suck on the PS2 (Max Payne) and are better on the xbox. Most online games are free besides Final Fantasy and Everquest. Ofcourse you have to pay for broadband, but no additional fees like xbox. You do have to buy the network adapter, which is a one time fee.

Gamecube: Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Resident Evil 4. I am not sure if EA is still making sports games for it or was it Sega that dropped support? Also, Gamecube has little to no online games, although it supports broadband connection. Square/Enix are starting to make rpg's for it, albeit a little slow they are at doing that.

ALL of the systems come with one controller and system only. Unless you buy one of the various bundle deals...

Well you can see that I have not been into gaming lately. The last system I bought was a nintendo which had two controllers. Since me and my brother would be using it pretty frequently so I think I might have to buy an extra controller to end all fights. Buy the way I still remember the fights we used to have when we played contra. Anyway heading to the store right away and lets see what I can get

 

[ironk]

Contra:Shatered Soldier out for PS2 now, but its very difficult game.

Contra Neo will be out for PS2 this fall/winter. And yes, you will break a few controllers playing these games so get extras.

FYE @ Connecticut Post Mall in Milford, CT has the rebate if anyone is in the area. i have no money right now so it doesn't do me any good, i just stopped in and asked and the lady found the rebate for me (thinking she was gonna get a sale... hehehe).

I wonder what deals the major retailers will have this week for the Xbox? I want to get one just to mess around with and for a few games, but I already have a PS2 as my main console. I am just wondering if I should get a brand new one or maybe a used one from gamestop.com

 

[rebatehater]

man..everything has rebate now...

 

[unclebud]

"I wonder what deals the major retailers will have this week for the Xbox?"
it's too close to may. if the rebate comes, this will be the best deal until thanksgiving.

 

[Corporate Thug]

where can i find the rebate?

 

[coolred]

What does May have to do with it? I would think with a price drop, they would also work some other deals to get them off the shelves.

 

[Corporate Thug]

still looking for a rebate...

 

[unclebud]

"What does May have to do with it?"

e3 is in may

This is probably posted in another thread that I have not read yet, but


Compusa has a deal this week for the Xbox for $149 and they throw in a free 2nd controller instantly.

Circuit city has the regular Xbox deal for $149 with the two free games mentioned above plus 2 free months of Xbox live as well.

Just FYI to those talking about fees for online gameplay with Xbox, you should check out XBconnect software. Allows you to play over the internet for free. www.xbconnect.com I believe. -Tal

 

[ironk]

yah, but with xbconnect, the only game that people pretty much play is Halo.

Shady06, here it is again:

REBATE

I think imagestation.com doesn't like remote linking of images. Hopefully the above one will stay.
