For $60 I'm only willing to buy games that I'm sure I will love. Little Big Planet is the last game I bought new from GameStop as a regular edition, and it was kinda worth it.The last game I bought was Demon's Souls Deluxe Edition from Amazon, which I haven't played yet, and recently I was forced to buy the Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Collector's Edition from GameStop at an unreasonable price(like $76 including tax). Damn the Collector's Edition for being GameStop exclusive! If I wasn't the biggest Ninja Gaiden fan in the world, I would say that it wasn't worth it. I'm never going to buy anything new from GameStop again.

Halo is successful because its multiplayer is enjoyable. The story is doo doo just like every other first-person shooter's. But, compared to games like Half Life and Call of Duty, Halo is still "God's gift" to the first-person shooter genre---a genre which I hate whole heartedly.
I give you Lemmings one thing, Gran Turismo 5 will probably be considered a flop saleswise. Why? Because Gran Turismo 3 & 4 sold Halo scale units---BUT---the PS2's userbase was many times larger than what PS3's is now. Unless GT5 has an absurdly successful advertising campaign and perfect scores everywhere, I don't see any chance of it achieving Halo levels in sales this gen. The smart thing would be to make a PS2 port of GT5 available so that the old fanbase could buy as well.
I don't feel cheated at all. I only paid $450 for a 60 Gig + Resistance: Fall of Man a couple weeks after launch. No tax either. The only thing I regret to some extent is buying a 250GB internal harddrive for it for like $170 back then. HD's are much cheaper now...
Yes and no. Yes, I believe it's overall quality is not as high as it should be. But, it's definitely not overrated in comparison to othergames with similar scores.
Whenpeople I knoware stupid enough want to sell their games at GameStop, I tell them the prices for the games and say I'll buy the games from them plus like 30% extra. I'm still ripping them off.
GameStop sucks. Period.
