They've been downloaded. Who knows when I will get around to playing them. That happens a lot of PS Plus.

Closure is one hell of a mind-bending, well executed puzzler. It doesn't hold a candle to LIMBO, but very little does.

I just finished InFamous as a good guy--it was lots of fun! I'm still looking for one blast shard and it's driving me absolutely nuts, but I'll probably put it aside soon. Still putting in lots of time with MLB The Show (and exclusively the RTTS mode), and I've still got Uncharted 2 and InFamous 2 waiting to be played. I think those will hold me over until I have the cash for more games--I'm planning on working through lots of classics until the price of newer games drop.

Amazon is great for cheap older games.

Yeah, I've got a bunch in my cart now and I'm watching the prices, waiting for a few to drop.

In general, videogame folks: what has your experience been like purchasing used games?

Very positive. I've never purchased a used game online that didn't work.

I just realized I have $20 worth of credit card rewards that I can use on Amazon! What should I get, RM?

GTA IV (Complete Edition w/ the 2 add-ons)
Red Dead Redemption: GOTY Edition
Bioshock 1+2

The first two would be around $20, the Bioshock pack would be about $5 more. Thoughts?

We'll call that 2 votes for RDR and 2 votes for Bioshock. Unless 3 people who really like GTA come out of the woodwork...then next vote wins!
