Gamestop has started giving more money for trade in games over the last month, after not giving you shit for years. Got $25 for Need For Speed Rivals, which is now free on EA Access.

Check with Best Buy. They gave me $10 more than Gamestop offered the last time I traded a game in.

Do they give you cash or a Best Buy gift card?

I was just trading it towards Diablo 3 so I didn't inquire about cash.

When I have the choice, I've been switching the difficulty to hard.

nice.

i tried the PvP the other night and now realize why i got my ass handed to me. these guys all have better weapons and such. i might not go back to PvP until i complete the game and roam around a bunch.

What are your thoughts on the game? The reviews I read said thet the game didn't live up to the hype. That essentially it's just another FPS that isn't breaking any new ground

Nothing lives up to the hype anymore.

I played the beta for a couple of hours and nothing struck me as mind-blowing. I was playing on a PS3, and it was an earlier build, so that might have something to do with it. But I'm also not really a social gamer, and the single-player stuff just didn't tickle my fancy. But still, when the price goes down, I may give it a shot.

well, it's true that nothing ever lives up to the hype. this is not just another FPS. i think of Call of Duty or even Battlefield as being just another FPS no matter how many perks or destructible environments there are.

anyway, how much different can a game be? i just don't see anything ever being groundbreaking beyond maybe the story.

A game doesn't have to be groundbreaking to be good. I'll post my impressions of the game sometime this weekend after I get in a few hours. I had almost no interest in the game prior to the beta but I had a great time.
