Brütal Legend

[DJ Dylan]

I rented this yesterday, and though it may not be the best game ever made, its quite fun and I'm highly enjoying playing it. Which, when you think about it, is all that really matters in the end.

I did love this story moment. BIG SPOILERS.

I agree that it's a good rental but unfortunately I actually paid full price for it on launch.

I'll keep the game, simply because I don't sell back games to the glorified pawn shop that is Gamestop, but I doubt that DLC will be anything but multiplayer maps. I'd love it if they had additional single player content because I think that this world they've created is great and they don't give you nearly enough stuff to do in it. It would be such a shame if what's currently in the game is all you get.

You could always put the game up on eBay.

What starting to do is sell on Craigslist. Basically post that it's cheaper than the GameStop used price and the game is practically new (unless you are one of those people who treats games like mini frisbees).

I've found (where I live) there are a bunch of people who are looking to "get around" GameStop for used games.

Also, it's really cute how they think this game is seriously going to catch on multiplayer.

That's what frustrates me. It would be one thing if they just gave the maps away, but Microsoft charging for them is a kick to the nuts. I'm hoping they realize that any future this game is going to have will be additional single player content, because I've heard simply finding a multiplayer game is hard.

Slight tangent...
I'm not sure about the how it works in the US, but in Australia trading is not worth it.
From EB Games:
$110 - New
$55 - They pay you
$105 - Their second hand price

$6 - rental price.
$44 - Platinum range (low cost games that have sold a lot)

Part of this is EB Games and GAME both have ridiculous pricing structures and part is Australians getting screwed on game prices. We do have other stores (or importers from Hong Kong) that will sell at around $80-90.

So the short answer is, I don't ever trade. If I was unsure on a game I'd rent or simply pick it up 6 months later when it hits the low price range.

Especially since it seems the maps are already on the disk(!). My download was only 100k, which I assume is just a bit of an unlock code.

I'm not sure exactly what their trade-in price is, but around here if a game is $60 new, their used price is $55, and they only give you around $20 for a new game.

To me it's worth the extra $5 to make sure the makers of the game get some money and to get a copy I'm sure nobody has rubbed with their dick. And that's just the used games that are pretty brand new. For a $30 game, they sell a used copy for $28. It's not worth the $2.

I probably only got like $15 when I traded Brutal Legend back in, because believe me they're FLOODED with trade-ins of this game. It's had a really quick turnaround, unsurprisingly.

eBay will still be decent for this.

It's best to put all this behind us.
