YMMV: STALKER for $12 at Half Price Books

[Devil2U]

Half Price Books, Records, & Magazines retail stores seem to have sealed, new in box, copies of STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl (PC) for $15. From December 26th-29th, save 20% on everything in store. This knocks the price down to $12. Loads of other PC Games, with some decent ones here and there (I saw Bloodrayne 2 for $5). Confirmed at San Antonio, TX stores. Probably available elsewhere, given they had a stack of 10 new copies there, but YMMV.

Half Price Books has stores in 15 states, see this link for locations.

I have been meaning to play this game, so for the price it seems like a great deal, IMO. IGN gave it 8.2/10, see this REVIEW. If you have played this, reply with your opinion of the game.

PS: You can also sell your old games back to them.

That'd be nice. My videocard is nowhere near powerful enough to run this game, but at this price I might get it for the future after I upgrade.

If you can find it at Target, they were clearancing it out for $7.50. I saw a couple of copies at my local Target on the clearance endcap about a week ago and picked one up. Haven't had a chance to try it out, but I've heard good things.

Personally, I though that this game was great.
Some minor gripes, but overall deserving of the 8.2/10 and maybe more. If you haven't played it yet, pick it up and give it a try (if this type of game is your cup of tea, that is). Be sure to install the patches first since they will make earlier saved games unreadable.

Nice price and I want this game, but no HPBs in my state

First game to keep my interest till the end in a long time. Wonderful story, hard game play and hours of extras if you commit. I also replayed some scenarios just to do them differently. Really if they made a MMO I would totaly join it and dork out.

I loved stopping by my local h-p-b when I was out by Seattle. One of the few things I miss when I moved from there.

More than worth it. No regrets paying full price though.

Totally agree. I loved this game. The only gripes I had were all the running back and forth between maps and not being able to carry a lot of stuff. Fortunately I found mods to solve both problems and this game rocked.
