I got lucky with the online blur coupon plus the best buy price drop to $40 and a rewardzone certificate I walked out with blur for $1.29 in taxes. So far it's been a fun game. High rez mario cart :P FTW. Only problem I have right now is no one I know has this game so some of the "friends Tropheys" will most likely go un-done. It sucks not konwing anyone with a PS3 oh well still good fun arcady racing game.

I have a 360 and none of my friends have or are willing to get it. It is really getting annoying haha because I just want to kick their asses in it.

@shoan Ive got a PS3 and broke down and bought Blur for it since I had Sonic Kart on the 360 already. Give me a shot and we can play...
As for the game. Its a good game. Needs music but besides that its great fun. I got it for $10.00 at best buy too so that was a great steal.

That's weird. It was $20 on all 3 platforms when the offer started at 12:00 PST.

I don't know how much Amazon charges for shipping so this may or may not be worth it but up here in Canada, Wal-Mart has Blur (I'm not sure if it is only the XBox360 version or not) for $40. It's advertised in this week's flyer but they have not changed the sticker label though. At least in the store I was in.

Also for those in Canada, Zellers does price matching.. so if you got a zellers and no walmart - like me - you wont be left out. :P
You just need either;
A: A print out of Blur for $40 at a Canadian store (not an online outlet)
B: The wal-mart flier, that shows blur is $40.
Love Zellers price matching. Saves me so much time and money

Amazon has free shipping on all orders over $25 shipped from Amazon itself (i.e. not one of the other retailers they host)

Hmm...part of me wants to pick it up, since it's a good deal. The other part of me is slapping that part since I just picked up Midnight Club: LA and need to finish Red Dead anyway =/

I got this game for $10 through Best Buy on Wednesday, I'm pretty sure the deal is still going on too. Here's how to get the deal:
1. go to http://www.blurgamepromotion.com/ for a $20 manufacturer coupon for the game.
2. You can get a $10 dollar coupon for it if you are a best buy gamer club member (it's free to sign up). You just need to go and print the coupon at https://myrewardzone.bestbuy.com/gamersOffers.jspx
Best Buy already had the game marked down to $40 dollar's this week so people should be able to get it for $10. Best Buy should accept both coupons since one is a manufacturer coupon and the other is a regular BB coupon, don't let them give you any crap about it. Personally, I hid both coupons and then gave the manufacturer coupon first, made her mark it down and then gave the BB coupon. I would hurry though, there weren't many copies of the game left when I went to get it.
It's a really fun game, all my buddies have gotten it and like it a lot. Like people have said it's like Mario Kart but with real cars. The online multiplayer is very similar to MW2 in that as you level up you unlock more cars and mods (their version of perks) to use in your races. If anyone wants to play just hit me up on xbox, gamertag: drsashamd.

This is one of the finest games of this generation. It's pure gameplay and you wouldn't regret paying full price for it, never mind half price.

It is definitely worth it. I love it.

I would get this, but Split/Second has REALLY captured my attention.

@Shadowbender Oh, and what about ModNation Racers? That looks like a flurry of fun. Want that one too...Is there a demo for it on PSN?

Same here, I'm waiting for a cheap deal on Split/Second. Should have bought it when Amazon sold it for $40. As for Modnation, there is a demo on PSN. I played it, but it wasn't really my cup of tea. I'm really wanting a racing game, though, so I'll probably end up buying S/S or Need for Speed Shift in the near future.

Its been $30 on Bestbuy and amazon.com for a few days now...This is the price it should have been to match the PC price. I'll pick it up when I get paid If the deal is still on

I've picked up six games in the last three weeks, this will have to wait.

Im Orionz Dream on PS3 add me. OrionzDream on xbox too so we can game. I love blur. Its a good game. Needs music during the race though.
Posted: Jun 27th 2010 6:33PM drsashamd said
@orionzdrm
There is music during the races, you just need to turn them on in the options. For some reason the default is to have the sountrack off during the races. You need to turn the option on for both single player and multiplayer separately if I remember correctly.

The demo for this game was ridiculous. I'm a fan of racers and this was really dissapointing

The higher ranked players are pretty savage these days. Last time I was online I made it up to level 20, and was finishing in the top 3 every few races, beating 30s and 40s into scrap. Anyone that doesn't recognize the level of skill required to go from 15th to 1st and actually hold it is just getting into lousy matches. Good players like me will tear you apart.
So, I am always looking for fresh mea...er.. skilled rivals. ;)

I just picked up the game from bestbuy last wed as well only using the manufactures coupon. I've been playing it since and love it. The single player can get some what hard at times, especially the fan scores.
Friend me and I'll definitely play
