Slomo4shO 02-15-2013 12:31 AM

I still haven't gotten around to playing this on PC but still contemplating picking this up for PS3 :)

CheapestGamer 02-15-2013 12:33 AM

I had this once already and I never beat it while I owned it from a DOTD or the @Gamer coupons. Maybe I'll have to pick this up before the weekend ends. Hopefully they have some of the special editions with bonus content left at my closest store for the same price.

Baddogdaddy 02-15-2013 12:34 AM

Good price, reported to amazon for pm

AndreT 02-15-2013 01:00 AM

Thanks OP. FP material

Briwas101 02-15-2013 03:18 AM

Good deal. Im very tempted by this, but my 40+ game backlog says I can for $10

Sweet thanks OP! I <3 the Reward Zone

Freebisquits 02-15-2013 06:08 AM

Trading in for $12 (after 100% promo). Not a bad flip if you have RZ certificates expiring.

Scampsters 02-15-2013 06:18 AM

good find

Dollar 02-15-2013 06:52 AM

I really enjoyed the first Darksiders and will be picking this on up. Thank you OP.

Izod517 02-15-2013 06:58 AM

Been waiting on this price for awhile. I personally won't wait any longer, since this game is likely to never ever go back to print given that THQ is dead.

Yukichu 02-15-2013 07:33 AM

Loved the first game. As others have stated, THQ is gone and this game may never be in print again. There certainly won't be a GOTY edition with all the DLC, at least not any time soon.

$15? Sure. I'm in. Bought one. Thank you OP, repped and all that stuff.

Really? Normally I'd wait for it to hit $10 before buying (having bought the first one for $10 and not opened it yet), but if they have stopped production it may never hit $10.

Could someone confirm that Darksiders II is going out of print?

And will they stop selling it on XBLA as a download title because they went out of business (obviously it's too expensive there for anyone to buy)?

THQ is out of business so it's likely it is out of print. Still, there are plenty of copies out there and finding a used copy down the line shouldn't be hard.

Don't get the PC version. They completely messed up the port. Get the PS3 version.

The game is terrific!

keysersoze25 02-15-2013 08:30 AM

Purchased. Continuing to grow the backlog

bloodreign 02-15-2013 08:35 AM

Thanks OP, had a $5 rewardzone certificate I was never going to use...so $10.72 w/tax!

shimmyshimmin 02-15-2013 08:39 AM

If it's half the game the first one was it is worth it at this price. Thanks OP!

Popo88 02-15-2013 08:51 AM

rons1980 02-15-2013 08:55 AM

scott78945 02-15-2013 08:58 AM

Wishing the Wii U version was on sale..but great deal for the PS3 version...decisions, decisions....

xceebeex 02-15-2013 09:10 AM

Sweet, I will be ordering for in store pickup when I get home so I can use my gift cards. Hopefully it is still in stock by the time I get home.

Chimay 02-15-2013 09:10 AM

Sure, what the hell - only $16 after tax

Thx OP!

BeerManMike 02-15-2013 09:10 AM

wjb3000 02-15-2013 09:17 AM

Nice, thanks OP. Best Buy is killing it today for game deals.

wwf20112 02-15-2013 09:17 AM

I just went to BB buying this for normal price earlier and it rang up 14.99 i thought it was a price mistake (I never brought up why it rang up like that lol) till i looked at the ad online when i got out. I got the last one at my location here in Ohio in the Bridgewater Falls area. (Xbox 360 version)

Great price!

riverstyxxx 02-15-2013 09:34 AM

For a second there, I thought it said Darkstalkers II.

I really miss that game :(

CBBlaker 02-15-2013 09:39 AM

Got mine for $5 after cashing in RZ points.

typesdragon 02-15-2013 09:41 AM

I love you BB!! Awesome deals today! And cash out my RZ points that I have been accumulating for free.

Baguda 02-15-2013 09:43 AM

Though I have Darksiders 1 (still in shrinkwrap) for the Xbox 360, I'll get the PS3 version of Darksiders 2 because the LensofTruth comparison review says the PS3 version is better than the Xbox 360 one in terms of textures, screen tearing, and performance.

I assume there's no reason to have both versions on the same console (i.e. being able to carry over saved games or upgrades between versions)?

Unfortunately store credits are not usable online, so I have to pick it up at the store. I was going to wait for $10 on this, but hearing the bankruptcy/OOP rumors is going to make me get it at $15.

Bandin03 02-15-2013 09:50 AM

I bought this for $30 on Black Friday and just started playing it this last weekend. So far, I'm hooked. It's not quite as good as the first so far imo, but still very fun. If you're a fan of dungeon crawlers with lot's of loot, you'll love it...tons of loot.

I'm satisfied with the $30 price tag...so $15 is a no-brainer. It's always my luck that when I finally start a game from my backlog, I see a great price for it within days of starting it.

BeerManMike 02-15-2013 09:52 AM

Free shipping made me get it for $16 from BB, might take longer than Amazon but if I don't have to step inside BB even better.

This was I can play this (PC version wasen't that great but I could see this is a good game) and have MGR:R go down in price on Amazon.

foxvolto 02-15-2013 09:54 AM

In for 1...Had a $10 RewardZone didn't want loose it...Thanks OP...REP

SlickDude007 02-15-2013 10:02 AM

I've heard incredible things about this game. I know Jesper Kyd's score is amazing. If anyone wants to take a listen let me know.

I'm at work but going by the description, this link should explain. [google.com]

When THQ went under, no one bought the Darksiders license.

foff667 02-15-2013 10:09 AM

Sweet! With the $5 Best buy reward zone certificate only $10.xx, and I'll go pick it up today, props!

bobbyboy1 02-15-2013 10:15 AM

Id buy the Wii U version for $15.

steveliv 02-15-2013 10:17 AM

in for one. added a 99 cent filler item (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Gibra...&sellerId=) so that i could use a $15 rewardzone cert. $1 out the door. free expedited shipping also makes it sweeter (rz silver)

Agreed. Loving playing through the first one for free with my Plus subscription. Will pick up once $10 or less as well.

bedrock060 02-15-2013 10:58 AM

In for one, own the first one, haven't played it yet. Good excuse to dust that one off and play this one.

lostntransition 02-15-2013 10:58 AM

Recently unemployed and I was going to pass on this, but if there is a chance that it isn't in print anymore I'll risk not saving $5 and ill bite. Thanks OP! TU for sure.

smoka 02-15-2013 11:07 AM

Jumped on the PC bundle a few weeks ago. I was expecting something like God of War, but this is quite a bit different. Seems like a good story line, but I'm not wow'd by the gameplay.

wfhbright 02-15-2013 11:50 AM

Is there any bonus for finishing the first game? I am trying to decide if it will be worth my time to beat the first game again to replace the lost savefile.

steelcurtain 02-15-2013 11:55 AM

in for one.
thanks op and repped

i2rule 02-15-2013 12:50 PM

This is a great find. Darksider 1 was great, this will be better :)

pepepoker 02-15-2013 01:35 PM

So glad I have a gaming PC! Got this game in one of the bundles a few weeks back and paid like 7 bucks for this game and 5 more.

I dont think there is anything to connect your save files like Mass Effect, so going back and beating the first game wont matter.

I think the only benefit would be to refresh your memory about the game's mythology

Thq is out of business, but it is still being managed through bankruptcy (I forget the term right now) to help recoup the money that THQ owes to its creditors.

The rights to darksiders was not bought by anyone, so THQ's senior creditors own the rights to it, and they will do whatever they think will bring in some cash.

So technically there is nothing stopping them from making another production run or making it available to download on psn or xboxlive (if it isnt already), its just a matter of whether or not they believe it will bring in more cash and want to pursue it.

mandangolo 02-15-2013 03:18 PM

This IS a slick deal. In for one. Thanks.

StriderH1ryu 02-15-2013 06:05 PM

went to BB this morning looking for Kid Icarus (sold out). what the heck for $15. plenty of copies for both consoles. nearly out of the 3 3ds games. :(

GordonG3kko 02-15-2013 08:37 PM

I bought one OP. I've been waiting for this game to drop in price.

Thank you!

Deltaron 02-15-2013 08:40 PM

I ended up going to Target and PM'ing the Limited Edition to BB for $14.99 + Red Card discount. I guess the LE is a little more valuable as it comes with some DLC, and I read that the PS3 version plays better than the Xbox 360.

spydersdeals69 02-15-2013 08:57 PM

In for one. Great price on a great game. In related BB deals, I can't believe anyone over the age of 5 plays Pokemon though. :omg:

assumin you can even find it truly New at gamestop...cause they usually open the cases...and then it is luck of the draw...how well they have kept the disc...and manual...and there is no way to tell if stock is sealed vs. opened online...gosh...durn...gamestop...fxljdifoadjf...

bbjcim 02-15-2013 09:14 PM

thanks OP. enjoyed the first darksiders.

rally5 02-15-2013 09:35 PM

Illuminati4Hire 02-15-2013 09:57 PM

This game's crazy amazing and beautiful. It has loot and dialogue trees like an RPG. :) Such a steal for only $15.

I beat the first one recently and im looking forward to playing 2 eventually, and I had never heard of any bonus for beating 1.

I spend a lot of time on gaming sites so usually im on top of this. Thanks again

Someone else asked that same question. AFAIK, the Limited Edition comes with extra DLC, but I have no idea how good or valuable that DLC is. I doubt the DLC is worth the extra $15. However, Target carries the Limited Edition so you have a shot at getting them to PM $14.99 unless they notice the "Limited Edition" difference.

sykdeals 02-16-2013 12:09 PM

If you go to a best buy B&M and find the limited edition of either game (ps3 or 360) it will ring up as the standard edition, so it's still $15.

For online orders I'm sure they will be shipping the standard edition, but it's the same sku in their system so who knows we could get lucky.

Note: there is a best buy exclusive limited edition that rings up at $44.99 I believe, but the regular limited edition rings up $14.99

FreeeStufffer 02-16-2013 12:28 PM

got it at best buy yesterday and got the last LE verison :) lm happy was going to wait also for the GOTY but mostly there wont be one :(

justme- 02-16-2013 03:01 PM

got one - good deal with a $5 RZ cert here too. Thanks!!

bbjcim 02-16-2013 05:23 PM

played it for about 10 mins. save your money folks. garbage

mirai 02-16-2013 05:28 PM

those who have doubt about this game or want to see if it is for you can try it on onlive for free. cloud based. no need to install the demo.
http://www.onlive.com/launch/tria...ers-ii?u=y

and i just noticed that onlive is hiring a lot of software people. i thought they went under a while ago.

nolf66 02-17-2013 07:37 AM

Wanted PS3 LE since it plays better but couldn't find one so I got the last XBOX 360 LE instead. Maybe will check another store today for PS3 LE.

Found a PS3 LE also and maybe will keep both, dunno.

caedo 02-17-2013 01:06 PM

Bought this online 2-17-13 before BB opened,selected for pickup at store. Got off work and went over without checking email, first off checked the prices and there was no Limited edition in store, just 2 Best Buy editions that rang up as $49.99 and the regular at $14.99. So giving up on getting the LE I went to Customer service and they ran my ID and looked for it and said it was probably still in the back room.

I pointed out there were a few on the floor anyways, and that I needed PS3 version. CS guy came back with both of the Best buy limited edition ones and gave me one. Asked if there was some kind of deal of the day for this. I was just like uhh I dunno saw the sale online just selected in-store pickup. Signed my copy of receipt and ran out the door.

Ultra-score.

spotlifetv 02-17-2013 10:56 PM

Great game. Picked up my copy today. Thanks SD!!!

http://www.digitalspy.com/gaming/...ayers.html

Thanks for finding this. I bought the first game on X360 as it's my preferred console and both versions were ranked equal. The second game ranked the PS3 much better in terms of gameplay, so I got the PS3 version. There was no way I could've predicted when buying the first game that the 2nd game not yet released would play better on the PS3 so I should get the first on the PS3 too. :-(

So I guess I'll have to forego those 2 enhancements as I'd rather have better gameplay. They sound nice but not critical to finishing the game. It's always sad when so many games are releases that do not have near-equal gameplay parity between the PS3 and X360.

Oh yes, as usual my Worst Buy was OOS of the LE copies. OOS is their middle name.

ObsidianGT 02-18-2013 08:35 PM

At Target, the UPC and DPCI for the "Limited Edition" is the same as the regular edition (which is of course correct since they're the same except the for the early release DLC).

Because of this, I successfully did a PM at Target, despite the Best Buy website erroneously showing the "Limited Edition" at $49.99. Ensure the rep scrolls down to find the $14.99 price. It is helpful to have an LE and regular copy so the rep can see the UPC and DPCI are all the same.

Wow, ten minutes? You couldnt even finish the demo in 10 minutes.

Anyways, it has an 83 metascore, so a lot of people enjoyed it.

KnightOfArmenia 02-18-2013 11:10 PM

Is the deal dead? It's only showing up as $49.99 for me.

DevilsSi1481 02-19-2013 03:33 AM

Same question, was this weekend only? Forgot to check when I was at Best Buy yesterday.

Lesson I've learned: unless something is in their weakly ad or you see a shelf sticker with a date range (in which case take a picture of the tag for proof), always assume the deal could die at any moment and get the deal ASAP. Worst Buy is notorious at changing or canceling deals without warning.
