Post by: Stealth Viper on August 03, 2009, 10:48:58 AM: by the way, this is apparently a price error, so orders may be canceled (but they may not)

Get in while you can!
Title: Re: GIJOE Video Game - PS3 and Xbox360 on sale at DELL for $33
Post by: BHMike on August 03, 2009, 10:56:57 AM: I also ordered it. I wasn't going to pick up this game due to the lack of online play - but at this price, I can play it, beat it - and trade it in for about the same amount I paid.

Win.

Assuming my order doesn't get cancelled....

Post by: BHMike on August 03, 2009, 01:55:02 PM: I think I was the LAST one.
I completed my order, then went back immediately to pre-order Arkham Asylum for this price as well - it was at full price, as was G.I. Joe now. This was literally 10 seconds after ordering GI Joe.

On the plus side, I have my "Dell Order Has Been Confirmed" email.

Post by: morgardee on August 03, 2009, 02:49:22 PM: It looks like the shipping date is set for September 16th for my order.

Man, that is a long time away. I was hoping I would have it this week.

Post by: BHMike on August 03, 2009, 04:25:41 PM: Mine too.
Aug. 16th I could understand... but Sept?

Post by: Stealth Viper on August 03, 2009, 06:48:43 PM: Dell is notorious for their "estimated delivery" being way out of whack.

I wouldn't pay it any attention
Title: Re: GIJOE Video Game - PS3 and Xbox360 on sale at DELL for $33
Post by: BHMike on August 04, 2009, 04:27:17 PM: I went and bought it at Walmart today. I figure I'll "return" the one I ordered from Dell and play this one until it arrives.

You sir, are a very clever man.

Post by: morgardee on August 05, 2009, 09:33:55 AM: Well that was fast. My game just arrived. It's in my PS3 right now as I type this. I guess it's time for another game review. ;D

Post by: Stealth Viper on August 05, 2009, 10:11:26 AM: Lucky you. My order was canceled (likely because I ordered 4 games on 1 order)

Well, I've been playing the game and so far it's "meh". I'll explain more in next months news letter.

Post by: dodge822 on August 05, 2009, 06:52:32 PM: Its kinda reminding me of the old sega game Rambo, just shoot it if it has a target. They could have done so much better with this.
More like a game you find at the arcade. >:(

Post by: BHMike on August 05, 2009, 08:29:23 PM: I've decided I'll be taking it to Eb Games / Gamestop tomorrow as I'm done. I've played through 3 segments (levels) - that's enough. It's not going to improve the more I play. :lol:
Title: Re: GIJOE Video Game - PS3 and Xbox360 on sale at DELL for $33
Post by: morgardee on August 05, 2009, 09:28:27 PM: Let me know what EB will give you for it.

Post by: BHMike on August 06, 2009, 12:20:47 AM: $30.00 - I already called.

For a game that is worth $64.99? What a rip off. Try Block buster Video.

Umm, thats still kind of lame, I mean, 3 bucks for a game is good, but what do rentals cost up there.

From Mike's succint assessment of it, I can see this might might be worth a rental and nothing else, :)

I don't need anything at BBV - and I still have about $40.00 credit there anyway.

Future Shop isn't taking it yet.

It's sitting on my coffee table....

Post by: morgardee on August 06, 2009, 08:48:23 PM: Well I'm almost done the artic missions.

I'm hoping it won't take more then 15 hours to beat. I just finished Far Cry 2 (pretty good game, not as good as Far Cry 1 but damn long) and I'm looking for a quick, easy game.

There's a hidden level.

Post by: dodge822 on August 06, 2009, 09:43:05 PM: did you guy get the code to classic duke uniform?

Now that i have played it more, i don't seem to mind it, and my 10 year old loves it, lol, perhaps more then me.

I think that was the goal with this, make it for the younger crown, to get a new gen into the toys, which i think the game will do more then the movie.

Here are the codes:

WII : left, up, - , up, right, +
PS3: left, up, square, up, right, triangle
XBOX 360: left, up, X, up, right, Y
Enter the codes at the title screen or main menu.

Post by: Storm.Shadow on August 09, 2009, 11:29:57 AM: Does playing the video game before seeing the moving spoil anything for you? Expecting mine on Monday but I'm wondering if I should play it before going to see the movie on Tuesday.

Post by: dodge822 on August 09, 2009, 11:45:55 AM: i don't think it will spoil anything, your good to go.
Title: Re: GIJOE Video Game - PS3 and Xbox360 on sale at DELL for $33
Post by: BHMike on August 09, 2009, 12:22:26 PM: The very fist scene in the game / level gives away a portion of the ending of the movie - so yeah, it DOES spoil that for you.

Just wait - better to be safe than sorry. When you listen to the dialogue in the game - that also gives away a couple of things - minor things, but still .
Title: Re: GIJOE Video Game - PS3 and Xbox360 on sale at DELL for $33
Post by: Storm.Shadow on August 10, 2009, 10:04:54 AM: Thanks for the warning. I suppose I should hold off another day.

I'm not sure why I'm excited to play the game....I know it's going to suck...but it's still the first G.I. Joe came we've had in ages.

I did the Duke unlock and it's the one I always use. I just found out Scarlet can be unlocked as well. I haven't tried it yet, but will tonight. This is for the PS3:

? Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara - RIGHT, UP, DOWN, DOWN, TRIANGLE
? Duke - LEFT, UP, SQUARE, UP, RIGHT, TRIANGLE

Turns out Duke is one of the best charcaters to use. I usually pick Duke and Snake Eyes. Heavy Duty is alright as well. Beach Head and Shipwrek use shot guns that are too slow. Helix is pretty decent as well, but nothing beats Snake Eyes for an up close fight.
