Is the upped Amazon Credit for LA Noire enough to deter you from the ‘better’ Kmart deal?

Conflicting Gamers - "It looks like Amazon FINALLY upped their PS3 and Xbox 360 LA Noire gaming credit to $20 (it was $15 for the longest time), but it seems it’s a little too late, at least for me anyways. Don’t get me wrong here, a $20 gaming credit for a brand new game is nothing to shake your head at, but when there’s an infinitely better deal out there, it begs the question: Why did it take Amazon so long to up their deal, and is it enough to match the Kmart deal? Since they waited so long, I ALREADY picked up the Kmart deal on release day yesterday, so for me, they definitely waited too long."

Yup.... Definitely no...

TheLastGuardian4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

How is a Kmart's deal better? I'd rather get $20 off inFAMOUS 2 than some cheap ass game. Plus, you save money by not having to drive to Kmart or pay taxes.

epicdestroy4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

@TheLastGuardian I see what you're saying, but you could also just sell your $20 game on eBay, then use the extra $20 Kmart gaming credit towards the purchase of inFAMOUS 2. Sure it's a little more work, but you could potentially save up to $40 on inFAMOUS 2 rather than just $20! To each his own I guess...

FNAG4753d ago

Even WITHOUT selling the game, Kmart gives you the same $20 credit PLUS a "cheap ass" game to boot. How do you NOT think Kmarts deal is better?

And don't say "tax" cuz even if you are unfortunate enough to live in a location with 10% sales tax, you're still only paying $6.00 max in tax for another (up to) $20 game!

BlackTar1874753d ago

Convience and there is no kmarts in my area.

Also to the person yea lol sell one of those games on ebay for $20 is quite a reach.

epicdestroy4753d ago

@BlackTar187 - Even if you don't get the full $20 for it...say you only get $5 for it, it's STILL better than the Amazon deal. You'd get a $25 credit versus Amazon's $20! No matter what, the Kmart deal is better...

I preordered L.A. Noire when they had $15 dollar credit, they sent me another 5 today! Amazon is number 1 to me.

BlackTar1874753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

i agree.

1 good kmart deal doesn't off set the great deals all together for doing business thru amazon.

also to some people having it show up in the mail on day 1 at your work is worth more then a crappy 19.99 title that if it was good enough i would already own.

If kmart sells demon soul though i would say go get that game

pansenbaer4753d ago

Yes. Purchased it from Amazon today, already had a $20 credit to use.

BLAKHOODe4753d ago

Picked up LA Noire at Kmart today and got myself Enslaved: Odyssey To The West for FREE, along with my $20 coupon, which doesn't expire till July - I'm thinking I'll save it for next month's Alice: Madness Returns.

Kmart can't be beat on there deals, but it FAILS telling it's employees about them, which causes a lot of confusion and delays. Took me almost an HOUR today to make my purchases, just cause nobody knew about the deal and were busy trying to find it online. Finally the manager came along, knew about the deal (because of a prior sell), but could only override the purchase price of the $20 game and had to charge me a PENNY for it, which the clerk took out of a penny jar near the register.

Kmart really needs to do something about that issue. Otherwise, it's great.

MasterD9194753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

Kmart's deals mean nothing if I can't use the deal online and have to drive out of my way just to find a Kmart.

Want credit? Trade in your games to Amazon and put that credit towards a game. I'm sitting on a $60 credit right now.

L.A. Noire And Bully — Rockstar's Lost Gems That Deserve A Sequel As Much As GTA

Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."

Skuletor46d ago

How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.

Psychonaut8546d ago

I want a new Manhunt game. But that will never happen.

Demetrius46d ago

Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems

Demetrius46d ago

Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥

Skuletor46d ago

I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either

One I never finished. I've been looking at the ps4 version off Amazon the last few months just never bit

Knightofelemia151d ago

It's worth playing LA Noire is one of my favorite Rockstar games. But I would also check out pawnshops or thrift stores if you want the game dirt cheap. Someone may have been dumb enough to dump the game.

andy85151d ago

Baffles me when people have these opinions about acclaimed games 😂

RhinoGamer88152d ago

100% agree... not perfect, but an engaging/refreshing experience.

sagapo151d ago

Agree, at time of release those facial expressions were amazing! They still hold strong even today imo.
The game on its own was good. Something fresh, but sidequests were a bit meh after a while.

Nacho_Z152d ago

I picked it up on sale recently, going to play it next summer. I'll get more out of it this time, first time around I treated the open world like it was GTA and goofed about, whereas now I'll play it with more respect. RDR2 has trained me well.

I also hadn't read Raymond Chandler at the time so presumably that'll add another layer of enjoyment too.

1nsomniac152d ago (Edited 152d ago )

Absolutely stunning game. So underrated. Played through it again last year and it still stands up so well. Like many of rockstars games it’s actually a far better experience on PC. I didn’t enjoy it as much on console. Completed it at least 3 times on pc.

The rumours of a sequel are awesome news despite the fact I think Rockstar are now the shell of the company they once were.

SyntheticForm151d ago

Team Bondi made a hell of a game.
