If/when beyond two souls gets added to this, then I'll be set for the year.

im only regular gamers club so I dont care. I think we get 10$ or something like that. I dont preorder games anyways. Sometimes on amazon a few years back I did tho because they were giving 20$ credit with alot of things.

ABizzel14103d ago

Regular members don't get anything. And These are the best deals around for pre-ordering new games.

It's basically buy 3 get 1 free on New release games.

aquamala4103d ago

Best Buy is the reason I preordered any games at all last year.

and they have a 30-day window to price match games! so if these games drop in price anywhere within 30 days after your purchase, you can price match AND keep this $20 certificate.

ABizzel14103d ago

Yes, Best Buy is the only place I buy New games Day 1.

They generally do these pre-order deals the first and second half of the year with 12 of the biggest titles for that time frame.

Obviously you're not aware of a little web retailer known as Amazon.com.

I pre-ordered 7 different games in 2012 from Amazon that had the $20 pre-order credit. This year, I've already pre-ordered Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3 with the same $20 credit. With Dead Space 3....as with a couple games I pre-ordered last year...I'm only pre-ordering for the $20 credit, and will be "returning" the DS game to Wal-mart as a "gift with no receipt" for $64 on a Wal-mart merchandise card.

That's return fraud. Not all of us want to be criminals

i only pre order games that will go under the radar.. AAA multiplats are always going to be wherever i look.. & drop in price quickly too..

For anyone who buys new games as often as i do you cant beat this. Any game i really want to play i almost always buy new and usually this means quite a few games a year. These pre order deals from best buy during fall 2011 and fall 2012 probably got me 5 or 6 free games in all and the spring line up has more games i want than any other period ive seen this gen and since ill probably be buying 10 of these on this list new anyway might as well pre order them and get 200 bucks back plus another 20 or so in rewards points which will get me 3 of the 10 for free. you'd have to be stupid to buy games new from most any where else if you know about this. Ive only gone to best buy the last 2 or 3 years and its probably saved me somewhere around $500 so far with all the offers they do. i dont think a lot of people know about this though or no one would buy new from game stop anymore.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast81d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs78d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast78d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs77d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast76d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer81d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6981d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs78d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6978d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger125d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2381d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid125d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast125d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
