This really is insane. If only I'm interested on this game, I would definitely check this deal.

rob60215113d ago

Wait, Wait, Wait.. What If I already preordered it at 56.99 with the $10 rebate, Do I get shafted on the $20 rebate??

Pennywise5113d ago

Just ordered this game same day delivery and will end up costing me $45.00. I LOVE amazon!

guitarded775113d ago

Yup... pre-ordered after Christmas when the offer was only $10, nice that they doubled it. Amazon is kicking ass with these bonuses.

erathaol5113d ago

Damn Gamestop! Your going to let Amazon/Wal-Mart do you like that? Rep your hood dog.

Government Cheese5113d ago

@rob

Just cancel your pre-order then pre-order again. You don't actually get charged for pre-ordering until they actually ship the game to you.

Cenobia5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

Do I get $40 back if I buy 2?

Edit: NM, it clearly says 1 per customer.

@Below: Thanks.

ClownBelt5113d ago

I think it's only limited for one household bro.

ReservoirDog3165113d ago

Preordering this and SMG2 and getting MGS PW for free.

Why do people still go to gamestop again?

Jinxstar5113d ago

I just preordered it and used my 10$ Gift card I got for SSF4 on it so basically it cost me a grand total of 35$... Never going to Game Stop again. I can wait a day or 2 for shipping...

Anorexorcist5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

and yet another example in how market competition only provides more benefits for the buying public. Monopolies FTMFL.

The only question now is: Is RDR a good enough game?

slargent5113d ago

they have a pre-order guarantee so you will get the $20 Amazon credit. You actually got a slightly better deal (saving $3)...

joydestroy5113d ago

yup, i got in early when it was $56.99 as well ^_^

Ray1865113d ago

I just got off the phone with Amazon. Anyone who pre-ordered beforehand will have to cancel there previous order to get the $20.00 gift card. You will also be charged $59.99 instead of $56.99 It was a time sensitive promotion according to customer service. She canceled my previous order and I had to pre-order it again.

Redlogic5113d ago

I just got done online chatting with a Amazon rep...he said that anyone who pre-ordered RDR when there was a $10 bonus would be eligible for the $20 gift card and if it doesn't come to just contact them and they will credit your account. So Ray, you are wrong!!!!1

BlackTar1875113d ago

i have 2 pre ordered me and buddy for 56 plus i used a $10 on his so i hope i will get $40 credit if not ill call but it would be sweet to get all that money.

i oinly do amazon now with there no tax and im a prime member so free same day delivery plus they give like $10 at minnnum for almost every game i recommend it to anyone .

screw gamestop my family works in the business and they hate gamestop for how they do there business so i will never buy there again. Support the devs and trust me the devs would rather you go thru amazon anyday or anywhere other then gamestop.

Redlogic5113d ago

I swear, that is the exact convo I just had. Now, its possible that the reps are telling some people one thing and others something totally different. But just from my experience, they said if you don't get the full $20 credit to call them and they can add it to your account. Good luck to all of us!!

P.S - you getting it for Ps3 or 360?

BlackTar1875113d ago

im gameflying 360. sucks when i have friends spread out on multiple consoles.

pm your psn or gamer id and we will start a posse. on ps3 we decided to run from the law first and track criminals second.

360 is still up in the air and what we are gonna do.

fyi were normal people.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming18d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long18d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10118d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor18d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6918d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno18d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming18d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast32d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg32d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai48d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos48d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8948d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg32d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
