The Daisy Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 You want a piece of me? I'm running a bit late this week with the wrapup, so without further adieu... Glen's LCVG.com Game of the Week Tales of Symphonia (GC) - $49.99 It was close but with the comments that I've seen about NCAA, I had to make it a runner up. I'll be picking up both titles, but at this point I thought Tales is probably the better game of the week. Runner up NCAA Football 2005 (PS2) - $49.99 NCAA Football 2005 (Xbox) - $49.99 NCAA Football 2005 (GC) - $49.99 Ok, let's get to it.

The Daisy Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Yeah, PoP will be purchased very shortly now that it has dropped. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 May I suggest a new title for this thread,.... Glen's PoP and Videogame Wrapup for 7/11 to 7/17. :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted July 13, 2004 Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 It was close but with the comments that I've seen about NCAA, I had to make it a runner up. Glen, what have you read about NCAA? I check over at Gamerankings and it doesn't appear that there is much negativity about the game.?.? What comments have you seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted July 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2004 Just the things that I've mentioned in the NCAA Xbox thread. Slowdown issues on the Xbox version. The fact that the CPU still runs far too much for the college game. Those sorts of things drag the game down for me. I know it could be the bee's knees, but issues like the running game have been out there far too long to be excused. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Metal Arms for Xbox: $4.99 at BestBuy http://www.BestBuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id...36&type=product Currently backordered, but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 I ordered mine. Hopefully I'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Ordered, here's hoping. I've had terrible luck with online orders getting cancelled lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Daisy Posted July 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Best Buy is very good at getting your hopes up and then cancelling an order. Here's hoping that they don't. Glen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcalx Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 As popular as this game is here on LCVG I briefly contemplated buying five or so copies and offering them up on the boards for cost. Then I realized that Best Buy offers free shipping so those who wanted it would really come out ahead by getting it off of the site. You can't say that I'm not thinking of you guys (and girls).

JTello Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Best Buy is very good at getting your hopes up and then cancelling an order. Here's hoping that they don't. Here, here Glen, I'll second that one! And back order has always equaled canceled order when it's a clearanced video game at Bestbuy.com when I've ordered.
