You're welcome and I'm sorry: GameStop Buy-2-Get-1-Free deal this weekend (3/13-3/15)

We've all been moping about a ton of great games and l i t t l e ... m o n e y to buy them, but now GameStop has a B2G1 deal this weekend, both online and in-store, so we can now be excited about buying more games and also be sad about spending even more money up-front.
I might finally take this time to buy House of the Dead Overkill, but I still need to find two more games to pair up with it.

Add me!
Yay for sales, but I'm already paying money for two games new (namely, MadWorld and Henry Hatsworth), since I feel the developers/publishers deserve the money and other developers/publishers need to see support for non-stereotypical games.
It's pokemon GBA time.

I understand the principles, and I'm also buying Henry Hatsworth new, but otherwise there's one other party that needs to see support more than developers and publishers, and that's "Lunker's Wallet." ;-)
I already have Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, lots of others. Is Crackdown worth a used purchase? How about hidden gems that didn't see much in the way of attention?
I just bought Crackdown as one of my two first 360 games (the other was GoW1) - Crackdown's been getting the bulk of my playtime so far. Not really any story to speak of, but jumping around the city and chucking cars around hasn't gotten old yet - it's a lot of fun.
You don't have Crackdown? You have been sorely deprived. It is one of the most fun games I have played this gen. Imagine GTA, but you're Superman with an awesome car and can get away with anything. I would be totally up for co-op too if you needed a partner.
The bunny mascot looks like retarded alterna-art. I hate it too.
I want to take advantage of this deal, but I have no idea what to get, and I try to avoid spending money just for the sake of a good deal.
Crackdown is fun, but buy it new from newegg. $13 including shipping or you could pay $15 + tax for a crappy used copy from Gamestop.

What the hell is wrong with me?
You deserve more love for that reference
Bah, he does it all the time. Don't you praise him for that!!*
It's OK to not have games that you NEED (I'm still getting used to it at the moment) - right now the only game on my "To Buy" list is Rock Band 2 (with instruments), and fuck if I'm buying that used.
I recommend EDF 2017, personally. Even more so if you've got someone to play co-op. It was just a blast.
Guilty! I'm really a one-trick pony, but I try to work it in whenever I can.
I'm kind of the same way, honestly; a lot of recent stuff that's come out has been either "Unsure if I'll buy" or "Need it so much I'm buying Day 1 at full price." I might use this for Overkill and even pick up HOTD 2+3 or RE Umbrella Chronicles since I'm jazzed about the Darkside Chronicles news and I want more gun action.
Isn't it about edges and mirrors, sir?
Couldn't Lunker's wallet receive a lot more support if Lunker ignored the sale and played through what he has? I'd jump on this but I've got a DSi purchase coming up.
But I think my current next-planned purchase is the $10 Geometry Wars: Galaxies I saw in the bargain bin at Best Buy.

I would normally plug Dark Sector and The Darkness here, but you can probably get them for $10 each new so it's not worth buying them used.
Ergo, use the money you saved with the B2G1 deal to buy those.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
I agree with this. Both are enjoyable games that you can get for pocket change new elsewhere.
Should be. They're the same company.
The mall by my house has a GameStop, an EB Games, a FuncoLand and a Software Etc. Which is funny, seeing as how they're all owned by GameStop.
I went to a mall once that had a Babbages and a Gamestop across the isle from each other.
I find it funny ive never heard of any of those, other than EBgames and Game stop (which we dont even have). I really should visit a bigger city and see some of these stores.
You're not missing anything. Since they're all part of the GameStop beast of devouring, they're all pretty much the same by now.
Heh, I remember the days when Software Etc. actually carried, y'know, software, not just games. Then my mom went in there two years after they switched looking for Word Perfect and got very confused.
Welcome to GameStop, bitch.
Their frequent buy-one get-one free sales are the only times buying there is really worth it (unless you've got an aversion to ordering online), and even then you have to be a little careful.
Like cloudeagle says, it's not so bad if you do it often enough to get their Edge card (which takes an extra 10 percent off), plus there's also another 10 percent off coupon somewhere on CAG that I'll try to drudge up, and then combine it with the B2G1 deal. You can get three $60 games for maybe $35 to $40-ish each. Hunting for bargains is a game in and of itself!
Uncharted is still commanding $50. Used is still going for a high price if you can even find one in stock, and it really should've gone Greatest Hits by now.
