    Default WOW!!! What a bargain on Splinter Cell!

    How's this for a deal? Splinter Cell for $20 Australian (roughly $10 American), Brand New- right from release! It's at Electronics Boutique, and you must trade in 2 Xb, GC or PS2 games (bye bye Ps2 ).
    Poor Delta...I hope she gets better quickly.

    Hmm if it holds true here in Houston, I might part out my copies of Gunmetal and Robotech. I'm considering getting Splinter Cell. Just too lazy to go to the store.

    That is a pretty good deal. I have the game already and I am playing in China right now, or level 6

    That sounds like a great deal but I don't want to trade any of my Xbox games. I like all of mine.

    Default Gamestop is GREEDY!

    I will never buy games from Gamestop again! They charge out the butt! The stores are all filled to the brim with PS2 fanboys!
    Xbox Games I Own...

    Halo, Capcom vs. SnK EO , Dead or Alive 3, Splinter Cell, Crazy Taxi 3, Buffy, Max Payne, Unreal Championship, Hitman 2

    Games I'm playing most...
    Unreal Championship - LIVE is addictive
    Quake 3 Arena - (pc) play about 5 mins less per day than UC
    Hitman 2

    Add me to your frends list if you play Unreal on LIVE, I sold Ghost Recon cause it was simply a hype machine to match SOCOM, instead I opted for something for more ORIGINAL...the first online fighting game EVER in the USA!

    I've been there before. I'm in college too but down the street away from IPFW on Anthony Blvd. My sister went there and several people from my High School I know go to IPFW. I live in the SW area of Allen County right by U.S. 24 and I-69.

    I'll agree with you about Sony fanboys. I went to my local Babbages one day and an employee there was saying bad things to Xbox to a customer who wanted to buy one and why he should buy a Playstation 2. He kept complaining to the customer that you need to buy a DVD remote and Xbox has no good games. I told the employee Xbox has great games and at least you don't have to buy a memory card. The employee told me I was wrong then left me alone. Ever since I've seen new employees there and haven't seen him again. I believe the manager fired him for doing that.

    At A&B sound here in Canada you can get it for 65$. That is the cheapest price I have seen. Most xbox games are 70$ -80$ brand new.

    Your deal doesn't sound to cheap to me. Infact I think it is incredibly expensive. So you have two xbox,PS2 orGamecube games. They cost what, 50$ each. Then you trade them in at eb and get a 3rd or less of their worth. Then you pay 10$ ontop of that. Technically you paid 110$ on one game. That is quite the rip off. Why not spend the extra 90$ and buy Steel Battalion?

    I know where Crossman Communities is. I go past there all the time, even today. I was on 224 in that area a while ago to buy a video game system off of somebody. And yes, I did go to Homestead last year. I knew you would be able to guess because they beat Norwell all the time at football. I went to a few games that were at Norwell against Homestead. I am considered though going to Purdue in the future to continue engineering.

    1. Because Steel Battalion isn't out here yet

    2. It's not expensive if you trade in two extremely crappy PS2 games (that you got second hand to start with) for possibly the Game of the Year.

    Not quite. The games must be from a next-gen console (in other words- No PC, PSone or N64 games). There is also a list of excluded games.
    Poor Delta...I hope she gets better quickly.
