I played the beta and loved it. I was turned off for a $60 price tag at the time though, because I had other games I was playing and it lacked a Scout control preset (similar to Legacy in COD). I still don't think it has it, but Zipper addressed a lot of other controller issues it had in the beta through patches and retail release.

At $10, it's a steal. I love the "realism" and "tactical play" of it.

I've never played a socom game, sounds kind of like Battlefield in regards to realism and tactical play. I'm just not sure how much i'd get around to playing these games. I'm deep into NCAA, still playing MLB and now have Twisted Metal I'm into as well as the occasional battlefield online games.

It's a third person game and has a lot less assault play than most FPS games you've played.

Well, that's not necessarily true, but there are points where you can snipe across the map in this game, and people take advantage of that. It's not an exploitation, it's just a style of play. I'm just saying don't feel lost if you get picked from afar often, as opposed to coming face to face with your foes.

I just checked my best buy reward zone certificates. I have $15 dollars in reward money. Nice. At least 1 free game.

Awesome. I'm currently at $130. Don't know what I'm holding off for, but I feel like I just used over $100 in reward zone certificates recently.

Doesn't matter anyways. Closest best buy was sold out on almost all the deals. Didn't have any I was interested in.

Got a heads up on a couple upcoming DOTDs at BBY. Tuesday is Game of Thrones for 20. Heard the game is rough so buyer beware.
Thursday is going to be a OSers dream. NBA 2k12/MLB 2k12 combo pack for 22. Pretty sweet to get both games for around 11 each. I passed on MLB this year but if your like me this a great way to give it a shot.

Is Thursday for Xbox 360 only? That was the only one when it had the deal for $70.

By the way, just opened SOCOM 4, and it came with an invite and code to the Resistance 3 beta!

I don't think they make a combo pack for PS3.

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

They didnt? Well I guess that explains it.

I already have NBA 2K12, but that combo pack is a great price. I may buy it and then trade in my other NBA 2K12 copy towards NHL 13.

For $10, Socom 4 is a total steal considering that the single player was pretty cool and I only played some of the multiplayer. This game came out a few days before the infamous PS3 network hack/outage so it killed the game. My friends and I were pretty pissed that we bought this to play MP and then the outage happened.

I picked up X-Men Destiny for my son today and watching him play it so far, its not bad for $10.
