Rainbow Six 3

[rufo]

Sounds reasonable. I actually rented Rainbow Six 3 back in the $50 days, back when it was #1 on Xbox Live and I just got my account. It was rather fun, but didn't attract me enough to spend the $50 on it. $8, on the other hand, is much more like it. I'll try and grab a copy later today.

One very nice feature: You can play through the single-player campaign, but replacing your AI teammates with folks on XBL (up to four players). Co-op games have always been loads of fun from my personal experience, so that might make it more attractive to those of us who are on the fence.

You sure it has online co-op??? If so, I might have to get it!!

I just don't think the price will be the same on all gamestops ...

You're talking about the cost of a used game, which means that someone has purchased it, done whatever with it, and taken it back to get money. Chances are that if they have used copies of Rainbow Six 3 for $7.99 then they might've been scratched to hell. Either that, or it's just a really old game.

If you can, ask to see the disc before you buy it. If there's a few light scracthes on it, then you can use a Disc Doctor and take 'em out. Just make sure the thing's playable before you make your purchase. Lord knows I've been screwed out of a few good used games that way. x.x;;

It's just really old. I just picked it up from my local Gamestop; they had about 10 copies, all were marked $9.99, but when I took it to the register it rung up at $7.99.

I buy used games all the time and have had no problem with them. I don't doubt that some people do have trouble, but I haven't had any yet. I believe most game retailers will accept an exchange for the same title within a week (some are two weeks), which isn't a whole lot of time, but is at least enough time for you to put it in and play a level or two so you know the thing's playable. (Of course the game could be ruined in later/unplayed levvels, but you'll have no way of knowing that unless you beat the whole game within a week)

At any rate, I'll be home in the next hour and a half or so, so if anyone wants to play post send me an invite (you can send them even if people are offline) or drop me an IM (Rufo Sanch on AIM).

I'll see it I can pick it up tomorrow. My play time in the near future will probably be limited, however.

Gamefly sells it for ~10 bucks, BTW. Their stuff usually is in much better condition than BBV/Gamestop if only because there are not 7 generations of stickers for price and store and ads on it.

So I think we're goign to try and get on tonight at some point, say... 7:30ish (EST)?

Anyone who wants to join us is more than welcome, although I think there are only 4 spots in the co-op missions, which is likely what we're going to be trying. Hopefully we'll see a couple of people on!

Two used game sellers in town just told me they have have Rainbow Six 3 on the shelf for $7.99, so I'm covered.

[thunderclap8]

well, I got the game. However, I returned from work today to discover my internet access is dead. I can still 'borrow' the neighbor's wireless, but not for the Xbox.

Comcast can't get anyone out here till Friday. Le sigh.

Grr. I'd like to play but am a bit busy at the moment. Hopefully I'll be home soon, but possibly as late as 9PM.

I'll send the ol' message/invitey thing if I get back early.
