Lmao they ~do~ have it, but only in like 1 store in each of the major cities, and it costs a bomb…
And if I could take advantage of this deal, I think that would be the two I would pick too, Rob. Actually can’t wait to buy Borderlands, I think ima buy it on PC though D:
@Ned lmao yeah sounds like a deal – I heard there was talk of a kind of NHS type thing over there? But then everyone got real mad and was bitching about our NHS because it sucks balls. The town I live in has officially THE WORST hospital in the UK (“Inspectors found that between 400 and 1,200 patients may have died needlessly during a three-year period because of the hospital’s failings”) ;S
Luckily I’m healthy and rarely need to see a doctor :|
haha I went a bit off topic I think.
D:

But yeah, Borderlands!!! \o/

I gave up on Best Buy.

After spending several hours traveling all over Manhattan, with a sore back (old injury that acts up every now and then), I had nothing to show for it. Each and every Best Buy in the city was sold out of Uncharted 2. Seeing as this was my Must Have game out of the three, I just couldn’t bring myself to settle for anything else. So I went across the street from the last Best Buy and bought Uncharted 2 at a Gamestop. They had lots. Sure I missed out on the Buy-Two-Get-One deal, but in the end one game costs less than 2, so I saved money. :P

I have to say, the whole experience has really soured my opinion of Best Buy. Being sold out of a huge AAA release like that is borderline unforgivable. I mean, I can understand most of them being out of Demon’s Souls, but Uncharted 2? Ridiculous. I’d be more understanding if almost every store everywhere were sold out, but it seemed as though it was only Best Buy. And that says to me that they don’t care about keeping their shelves stocked with what people want.

Wait, woah – they don’t have Mountain Dew in the UK?! o.O

Also, my final decision ended up being Borderlands (360), Demon’s Souls (PS3) and the Wii Sports Resort pack with the two Wii Motion Pluses. I figured buying Uncharted 2 now was pointless since I have yet to play the original.

Make you a deal, you convince Congress to give us European style universal health insurance, and we will drop off a few Best Buys and a case of Mountain Dew. Deal? deal.

Okay, so the new R&C doesn’t come out until later in the week… There’s still Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition among others. ;)

Also, get Demon’s Souls.

Do it, Rob! I played Demon’s Souls until like 5 this morning… o.O — I loves it so much.

Thanks for the heads up, this is a pretty solid sale!

Personally speaking, I’m leaning towards Demon’s Souls, Borderlands and a player to be named later. Possibly Uncharted, possibly something else. Hrmm…

If I could scrounge up $120, I’d totally get Uncharted 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and R&C: A Crack in Time.

So, who wants to float Rob $120? *makes doe eyes*
