Don't like Gears much, but love God of War, so I'm going to be getting that one. Are people really that excited for Tomb Raider to put it up on the same level as BioShock Infinite? I know it's been reviewing really well, but still can't shake the Uncharted comparisons, and if there's one thing I definitely don't want it's more gameplay similar to that of Uncharted. Though I imagine the rebooted Croft can't be nearly as terrible as Drake. I mean it would be tough.

@golguin: The bigger obstacle there is getting WiiU's into houses. Glad they had success with MGRR, I'm loving the game but figured it wouldn't do all that well because it seems to me that interest in the MG name fell off and there are so many character action games coming out in the first three months of this year.

I guess this means people are still actively playing Skullgirls. Maybe I'll pick it up finally. Did they ever end up adding a moves list in the game? That was what kept me from getting it at launch.

I've done it three times. One time was when I was on vacation in Chicago and had my first real deep dish pizza. Wanted to remember that because I don't know when I'll ever get back there again. Second time was on the boardwalk in the summer where a group of us got a 36 inch wide pizza or something. It was super big, took up an entire table on its own. The third time was in Atlantic City when a group of us got a ten pound pizza. If I ever eat another crazy pizza I'll probably take a picture of it.

@walkertr77: Was he signing you up for the free rewards card? It's not really free money, but even if you just buy MS points there every so often you do earn rewards points that eventually build up. It probably helps them keep track of your purchases in case the person loses a receipt, or so I would assume since that's what one of the guys behind the counter at mine was telling some customer.

Even though I don't buy used very much, I think the $15 is great for the magazine subscription alone. I occasionally do trade in as well when the promotions are right, so the extra 10% isn't bad either. But I mostly keep renewing for the magazine.

And to the OP, there are very few cases where the Best Buy trade-in values are better than the Gamestop ones. I have checked in to that because Gamestop is doing that extra 50% credit right now (and Best Buy is doing an extra 100%, I think, if they aren't they are generally running a 50% one all the time too) and the values that I would get at Best Buy were terrible. For that CoD game that came with my Vita bundle I would have gotten $10 for it at Best Buy with the 100% extra, while I got $25 for it a week ago at Gamestop with the 50% extra. Got $33 for Far Cry and $30 for Madden as well. Best Buy would have given me about $15 for each because they constantly tank their values when their promotions change. Gamestop usually does, but for some reason they haven't been lately. It's all about finding the right promotions if you're going to trade. Best Buy is the best place to buy big new games though, even with a scaled back price matching policy. If you're their $15 member you get a $20 Reward Zone certificate for pre-ordering certain titles, which has already paid for itself between the $20 certificates I got with MGRR, 2K13, far Cry 3, CoD"BO2, AC3, and upcoming ones for Last of Us, God of War, and GTA V.

Very rarely in the past year or two have I found Amazon to be the best place to buy games. They don't really run their own deals anymore, they mostly just match other places and adjust accordingly. Same with Steam, they are basically the Amazon of PC games. There was a time when they had easily the best deals, but now they get by on name recognition while other websites have the best deals (and usually come with Steam keys as well).

Really depends which console has the (few) exclusives I'm interested in playing. Right now PS4 has The Witness, not sure what the Xbox 8 is going to have.

@kaosangel: "half off or more" a few weeks after they are out? What kind of Amazon are you using and how can I start using that one?

I turn it on when the cutscenes in Fire Emblem start. Then when they finish I turn it off.

@kidavenger: Why couldn't you flag the OP?

They are calling this a "contest" which doesn't make much sense to me. Is this even legit?
