Help, I have a $50 gift card I don't know what to spend on - Blu-ray Forum

ngkf7 · 12-09-2008, 12:11 AM

Hello everyone. I just got a $50 gift card to GameStop and need some help. I am most likely going to buy Bioshock with it. I never beat it on 360 (my bros 360 RRoD'd) and I really enjoyed it.

Right now I'm playing CoD: W@W, LBP, and GTA IV (for trophies) so I have my plate full. Should I wait til the price inevitably drops or rush out tomorrow and spend the full $59.99 (I know it's cheaper on Amazon, but I don't have a gift card there)?

Vote and let me know what you think!

its an awesome game but it will drop in price soon. just wait it out and get something else worth while for full price now. like Resistance 2... its AMAZING>

I know it might sound out there...Bio shock is a great game

But i too am playing gta iv over for trophies.

I picked up saints row 2 and found it very addicting...no trophies yet but i like the game and the online.

But bio shock is a good choice also. You have alot of cool games as it is.

Like you said, you have your plate full. I say be patient, it will def. come down in price and if you feel compelled to buy a game get Fallout 3!

Bioshock was sold for $30 for black friday for a reason. don't get it.

Sith · 12-09-2008, 02:01 AM

Fallout 3 is your choice if you haven't played it yet

Wreck · 12-09-2008, 02:11 AM

mikejet · 12-09-2008, 02:42 AM

Trade it for cash and buy crack.

you dont know what your talking about sir.

Speaking of, is Far Cray 2 awesome enough to get this week at BB for only $40? I've only read one review and it was good, but a second, third, and fourth couldn't hurt.

Yeah I agree. Bioshock is an incredible experience and easily the best FPS since Half-Life 2.

tqmilymi · 12-09-2008, 02:52 AM

I'll take it off your hands.

Bioshock used for PS3 is 54.99. At that price I'd spend the extra $5 for a virgin copy. I'll probably wait for a price drop.

Bioshock was a awesome game....Worth whatever you pay for it...
Playing the new COD now, it's fun, but no Bioshock...
