Seems like Best Buy is cutting the prices on some of EA's games across the board.

Burnout Paradise is now only $29.99 (PS3/360).
Orange Box for the 360 dropped to $29.99. Army of Two is $49.99.

Need for Speed for every platform dropped by ten bucks. Same with Medal of Honor Heroes 2. Few other titles like Boogie, My Sims, and Sims Castaway got a drop too.

08 sports games are now a notch above clearance levels (NHL, Tiger Woods, NBA Live, NCAA March Madness)

So for the remaining people who don't hahve TF 2 360. Now is the time to jump on it.

Burnout Paradise is definitely worth considering for me now.

I was wondering if I should get it or not.

Those Burnout games are usually a little few and far inbetween with new games.

Now there is no excuse! Everyone with a 360 must now purchase the game and play! NOW!

Is this a sale or a permanent price change?

Usually these are permanent price changes. I picked up a copy of Orange Box for PS3 due to lack of a substantial gaming PC at the moment for 30 bucks a while back at Wal-Mart. So it's stuck.

Hoping it drops to $20. I only want Portal and wish I could buy it by itself.

I was talking about Burnout Paradise on this.

I believe you can, via STEAM....

You can buy it by itself, but why the hell wouldnt you want to play Half-Life!?

If you're getting it for the PC, you can also buy just Portal or just TF2 in a store.

I actually somewhat sympathize with this opinion. I found Half-Life 2 and Ep. 1 to be greatly overrated. Ep. 2 is GREAT though, and I finally got what all the hub-bub was about.

You might be sympathizing with a typo....


Gekko wanted to buy Portal by itself....


Then Combine 07 goes "You can buy it by itself,

but why the hell would you want to play Half-Life!?"


So, if I'm following this conversation, either I'm really confused or Combine meant to ask "why wouldn't you want to play half-life." Plus, I think Combine is a huge Half-Life fan.

Anyway, I just wanted to point that out because I'm confused.

But, carry on.

Oh, and in retrospect I kind of agree. Half-Life > Half-Life 2

No offense to you of course, Professor, but I found Half-Life 2 to be great, even if we're just taking into consideration the fact that it was a big step forward from the original Half-Life.

I will agree with you on Half-Life 2 Ep1, though. It was way too short and not enough good clean action. Mostly plot stuff.

Ep. 2 was perfect. I have high hopes for ep 3.

har dee har

This sounds like a debate!

What makes Half-Life 2 a big step forward from Half-Life?

Haha, yes you are correct Killergremlin. Thanks for noticing my typo. And shame on you professor! I never found Half-Life 2 and ep.1 to be over rated, I never heard anyone else talk about. And even if you found it to be over rated at least its not as over rated as Halo 3.

I'd prefer to have it on Xbox 360.

Oh, in that case, no, no you cant buy it by its self.
