Just sold MW3 for $40. Pretty certain I paid less than that after sales/rewards/etc.

What dummies. It's $40 new as of this week. I think we got a $25 credit for pre-ordering it? Or was that Gears? Or both??

I beat it this morning (liked the campaign) and decided to trade it in to Amazon for $25. I figured I could sell it for more on CL, but I didn't feel like dealing with the idiots.

Ebay. I have to cut out a prepaid label, put it in an envelope, and then the mailbox. That's worth $15 to me.

Surprised it sold that high on ebay.

I'm sick of selling crap online and wanted the easy button. All I had were three clicks and handing it to my resident homemaker! :-P

Somehow mine just auto-renewed at the normal $60, even though my credit card was expired. Sad

I mostly play Forza 4 and Battlefield 3 right now. I have MW3 but havent even opened it and doubt I will play it. MW1 & 2 were still the best to me.

I also preordered ME3. Mainyl for the MP. I always lose interest in the SP well before I finish.

Really? You're going to pay 60 bucks for a glorified horde mode?

ME has probably the greatest overall narrative of any video game in history and you're buying the epic (yes, I said it) conclusion of the series for the multiplayer? :evileye:

Ummm....yes? Faster than a Testarossa, with more cargo space than a corolla, and heated wipers to boot.

I had a Visa GC from Christmas, so I just ordered ME3. $10 bonus!

My reasoning: 64% MP, 36% Campaign.

Disclaimer: I have never played the first two.

The beginning of the demo campaign had me regretting my decision - too much talk, not enough shooting. Then shit got a bit more real and it got a bunch cooler. It took me awhile to realize I could upgrade and command my teammates, but the ability to build a team with complementary skills is kinda cool. I can't say I really give a shit about the story or the Choose Your Own Adventure aspect, though.

I can see why Rex likes this and Crysis 2. They have much of the same feel... and I loved Crysis at first but eventually sold it without beating it.

I picked ME2 up again last night. Forgot how much I liked it. Shit, I have all but 1 character; must be close to beating it. Will push some more today. No chance I'm going back to ME1, though. I remember turning that off within 10 minutes of starting.

ME1 I might not have gotten through had it not been for the story. Gameplay was pretty rough, even though I really enjoyed the customizability.

ME2 though, nearly the perfect blend of RPG and Action, if you ask me. The DLC for ME2 is actually worthwhile also, especially Lair of the Shadow Broker, but again only if you're really into story. If you're not, meh. Mass Effect probably isn't the *series* for you, nevermind the game.

I will say, the final "boss" of ME2 was veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery disappointing.

Mikey, are all of your crewmembers loyal?
