Thought I should share the deal. If you haven't tried the demo on PS3 or 360, do it now. Great game, amazing graphics and now under $40 @ Best Buy, Future Shop and Walmart this Tuesday. Only in Canada! woo hoo! :bana2

Just picked up a copy this afternoon and also dropped by to see Gerry and pick up a PRM intake for the 2005 3 hatch. He showed me his intake prototype for the MS3 too while I was there. Will hopefully have dyno numbers soon.

I wasn't going to buy it. I decided to google it for you, only to be shocked by the score. I thought it'd a score of 6.something, lol. Thanks to you, for making me spending $40 bucks! =p

Picked it up after work at BB. Apparently Futureshop had it for less than $8 online for a short period of time.

no worries
a lot of ppl's orders got canelled for that $8 deal
u'd have to have been very lucky
or right at the store able to pull it up on the web for the customer service to price match right away.
I ended up picking it up at the Brampton BB... It showed up as in stock at Heartland FS but by the time I got there (after work) it was sold out... Haven't played it yet though, hope it lives up to the hype!

No problem guys/girls. Thought the demo was pretty kick ass and it was getting great reviews. At $40's its pretty much a no brainer.
After work I stopped off at MOT to pick up a part for my CAI and went to the Richmond Hill Best Buy. They had a few xbox copies and none left for the PS3 (which has the exclusive playable Joker). Wanted the PS3 version. Looked to be out of copies, but thanks to my height, I noticed that there was a copy that was flat on its back on the top security rack. Called the girl to get the game and when I asked for the game, she said they were sold out and the two other people that were walking away asked for the same title. I pointed it out that there was one copy left and I wanted it. The other two customers looked pissed when I walked out with it.

Saw the video reviews and it does look awesome. What sucks is I haven't and won't even get to play it for a few weeks till I get back. I handed my new copy, still in wrapping, to my neighbours 17 year old son to play while I'm away. He was playing it last night to like 2 in the morning. Said it was awesome.

When I first saw some of the previews for this game, Ithought it looked pretty. But like most comic book games (especially with DC characters), they just stink when it comes to gameplay. (Except MK vs DC).
This is bar none, the best comic book video game. Wolverine was pretty cool but Batman puts it to shame. Great graphics, voice overs and gameplay.

Well, just when you think a topic may have hit rock bottom, I'm always happy to show the trap door. :)

That's great to hear since I really enjoyed Wolverine. I swear if something stops me from playing it tonight...
