Kind of feels weak after all the stuff I got on Steam.

@Lampy No More Heroes 2 is a terrible, terrible game.
I absolutely adored the first one, but they took out everything that made the first one so charming and just made this game a joke.

I must say the steam deals tend to blow almost all other deals away. I know I got Batman and Metro for $9.99. Blur for $17 isn't bad though...

uhh...I might be missing something but when I click on the "blur for just over $17" link, I am brought to a page where blur is on sale for $47.99. If I follow the link on that page to buy.com it is also listed at 47.99. Is there a typo here or did the deal expire very quickly?

Just bought Limbo for 800msp and have tomorrow off work so ill probably be playing it until i go to work even though we got a nasty snow storm. I am really tempted for Metro2033 i played the full game and it is probably one of the most underrated games I've ever played and it has a great story to it to.

I dont really get those game deals where you get like dozens or more games in one package. They are all outdated and you are lying to yourself if you think you are actually going to play through them all.

What game is that screenshot from?

Can anyone tell me if the Halo: Reach unreadable disc problem was solved already?
I bought it and got an unreadable disc, after all i couldn't give it back. And even if i could i would cost me money to send it and then receive it again. An just afraid to buy it again and get another unreadable disc.

@The Wicker Man
Man, i said i couldn't give it back. Don't you think i tried already? If i didn't care on wasting my 35 bucks [Yep.. i got a good deal there] i would just buy it again. Got it on Amazon, but i lost the receive or whatever, I keep the blame for throwing it away. Besides i live outside US, so i would have to pay to send it, then pay to receive it. That would be like 15$US.
Whatever, do you know the answer. Is the problem solved already? I mean, are all new disc good?

@shortboy12 walmart return. If there is a game u want in same price range buy another copy of that and say it is defective swap around til u get what u want. Also, you should have order history from amazon.

Guys, don't be fooled, Metro 2033 is $20, not "under $20." The 4 cents between the $19.96 price tag and a $20 price tag don't count.
Anyway, I found it odd that the game is $20 new, but it's like $35 used... Go sesrch for it at WalMart.com.

@JnRx we do not really get posts when Cheap Ass Gamer finds good deals anymore. This seems like someone doing someone else a solid.

I will bet most people already have a massive backlog of games to play, what we need is more epic snow storms to help give us an excuse to stay home and play all day. I am old enough to remember the storm back in the 80s that shutdown towns and schools for 5 days straight, we need one like that since now as an adult play time is a premium unless there is natural weather event like a big snow storm

Blur is $38.98
which is a little more than "just over $17."

@The Wicker Man also, two generic comments,like wrongs, do not make a right.

As much as I'd like to snap up Metro 2033 at $20, I'm not sure if that's enough to overcome my instinctual hatred for Walmart.
Posted: Dec 31st 2010 1:51PM endgamer77 said
i would buy metro 2033 in an instant if i didnt just use my walmart gift card on my 3rd copy of red dead redemption.

Not sure what deal you were looking at, but Blur is $47. It's $25 on Amazon, however, which is worth noting.
