GameStop rewards program launching this May in 'four markets'
Mar 18th 2010 9:39PM (Joystiq)I know my $65 game may not be fully worth the $60 bucks it was when I first got it, but it's definitely worth a LOT more than what they try to give us for it. Hell, when I went to the midnight release for God of War 3, they already had it listed under the trade value for how much someone would get for it if they were to trade it in and that amount was $30! That is just ridiculous because they're going to sell it for $54.99, $5.00 less than regular price until the normal price goes down, then they'll lower it to $49.99 or so and a year later it'll probably be around $34.99 or around there. Either way they STILL are getting more than what they "paid" for it.
Gamestop USED to be the best in giving decent trade in value's versus EB and once they merged it all went to hell and it was more of a rip off. Sadly I've had to sell some of my games awhile back when I was desperate for money cause my checks weren't as big as they should have been because I missed a lot of work due to my back injury and selling games for gas money or to pay a bill was my only option at the time and it definitely was my last resort as well. I will go back and re-buy the games I sold/traded in as well later on once I get enough money again, so in a way it's like I paid double for some games. Well like $80+ bucks or so. $60 when I originally got it and then like $17.99 or a lil higher when I rebought it again. Sometimes lower than $18...
Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 hack attacks your XP
Jan 20th 2010 1:51PM (Joystiq)"You either need a JTAG xbox or join a game being hosted on a JTAG xbox for these mods. My JTAG was banned shortly after this so I can no longer host mod games. "
Joystiq Staff should have also been quick to put in their post that this only happens with the above conditions instead of making everyone think that this was going on in all the MW2 online games. That probably could have saved at least a page of worthless comments on here as people would have seen they're not affected nor is it affecting public or ranked matches and then they would have nothing to worry about.
Rumor: Modern Warfare 2 hack attacks your XP
Jan 20th 2010 1:40PM (Joystiq)But seriously people, it's just in a private match. Its not in the public matches nor is it in the ranked matches. Quit freaking out and demanding a company to bow down to your wishes. GO AHEAD and STOP PLAYING!!! They already have your money and could care less if you play or not. Plus you know your all talk anyways and probably playing while posting your threat on not playing anymore.
A flood of GTAIV reviews incoming
Apr 27th 2008 11:38AM (Joystiq Xbox)Noob.com has gotten even weirder
Apr 12th 2008 12:20PM (Joystiq)I think all the other words are just pretaining to some of the characters in the game. For example "Freeze" = Sub-Zero, "Dead" = Zombie Liu Kang possibly? Or just fighters being killed? "Venom" = Reptile, "Tree" = Living Forrest or Maybe a Tree is a stage fatality? "Rain" = The character Rain or maybe a stage with actual rain in it?
The other big give away is the [DOT] is the MK symbol and the number 8. And of course all the words pretaining to something in the MK Universe, wether it's being reflected in the upcomming game or through out all the previous games. They all can be tied to something MK.
You guys are looking to hard into this, when it's really quite simple. You also have when that page had the Aprils Fools joke/code on it that had the numbers for each letter and it spelled "Touch" and that was inconjunction with the TRMK website and the guy did the video of MK running on an iPod/iPhone (touch). So that at least verifies that each number pretains to each letter in the alphabet.
So that's all it is. I guarentee EVERYONE! It's just MK8 will be announced/shown on April 17th 2008 at the Midway Gamers Convention (or I think it's officially called Midways Gamers' Day) in Las Vegas NV.
I'm willing to bet everything I own that's what it is. Hell if there was a betting line for what this is in Vegas I'd go bet everything I own over there. Like I said, to many of you are making this harder then what it is, or just hoping its not as simple as it is and wanting it to be something other then MK8. So for those that are doing that you're going to be in for some dissapointment. Although I'm excited and can't wait to see what MK8 is going to be and look. Just hoping it's not like the last one Armageddon. I didn't like the create a fatality nor the air-combo's.

Feb 11th 2008 2:24PM (Engadget)I'm also not a fan of the whole downloading service thing. I would rather OWN the disc and not have a virtua copy that get's locked out/expired and or if the HDD were to get corrupted or fail, then I'd lose what I have on the drive, or having to re-download the movie again if I were to delete it to free up some room on the drive. Also, it's not true High Definition format.
