SpendTooMuchOnAtari #1 Posted October 2, 2003 Check this out! I preordered the new Tony Hawk game for my PS2 and got the shirt for free. Good deal I guess. Then, I saw that SSX 3 was coming out for PS2....WOW I asked what the promo giveaway for that was...nothing. But, I started asking about old promos or ones that he has a lot of and he gave me a couple of things for pre-ordering SSX3 also. It was cool. I got another T-Shirt for some game I never heard of Dino something 3 for XBOX and a demo game. He was the manager guy so if you are ever preordering a game, try to get something for FREE!! It works, I think they may get a bonus or commission or something....maybe he was just a cool guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z28in82 #2 Posted October 2, 2003 The dino something game was Dino Crisis 3, which sadly moved to the X-box, I loved playing DC 1&2 on my PSX and looked forward to playin it on my PS2 but oh well. Yeah freebies are kinda cool, but most are stuff I wouldn't use anyway. last cool freebie I got was a ligh-up lightsaber keychain from LucasArts when I got Glactic Battleground Clone Campains and the strat guide Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2600Lives #3 Posted October 2, 2003 Dino Crisis rocks! I loved both games, and it's a damn shame that the X-Box is getting 3. Anyhoo, I only really shop at Game Stop for their half price and bargain stuff. I've picked up some half price booster packs of Hero Clix, and got a SWEET Samus Bobble Head statue for like 5 bucks. This and some halfway decent computer titles, too. I rarely buy much else there, though. I like to support my local, individually owned shops more. Hell, when my Dreamcast went blooey a couple of years ago, I went to the game shop I used to manage and talked to the owner. At the time, they were 40 bucks used, but he threw in two extra Performance memory cards (and I think my total DC memory card count right now is at like 32), an extra controller (that makes 7 controllers...), and all the demo discs he had. Of course, I knew the guy, but still. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PuddWakkr #4 Posted October 2, 2003 Dino Crisis 3 is one of the worst Xbox games I've played. Don't feel bad it's on the Xbox you should be glad you didn't have to play it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raijin Z #5 Posted October 2, 2003 The only preorder freebies I've actively sought were Ocarina of Time ((duh) Wind Waker), and an RE2 shirt (Resident Evil 2). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MegaManFan #6 Posted October 2, 2003 I wish I had done the Chrono Cross pre-order. My friend David got a shirt, a clock, a poster and some keychain or tchotsky like that - but I was always envious of the clock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtariDude #7 Posted October 5, 2003 That was kind of nice that you were able to obtain freebies like that. I tend not to buy new games as they come out since I prefer to get them when they cost less. However I have already ordered Counter Strike Condition Zero and I am waiting and hoping it gets released soon. I don't want to have to download a 340 plus meg file just to update Counter Strike from version 1.5 to version 1.6. I just wait until the new version is released.

chrisbid #8 Posted October 6, 2003 i have a ghaleon punching puppet from the Lunar 2 preorder preorders are kindof pointless in this day and age of optical media, has there been a serious game shortage since Zelda OOT, but Nintendo's bonus discs have been pretty cool imho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
