Hmm, NeverDead and Syndicate are pretty cheap in the Microsoft store, though Syndicate is already sold out.

I'd say 6 bucks is the right price for NeverDead from what I've heard about it.

Damn Syndicate went fast, I would have got that. I might pick up NeverDead, but I'm wary, of how much of a grind it'll be. The achievement guide says 15-25 hours, but somehow I doubt that. Any opinions?

The Best Buy GAMER mag has a $30 coupon for Kingdoms of Amalur, bringing it down to $10 ($15 if you buy the mag and dont just rip out the coupon behind some aisles or something)

I bought a few games from Gamefly and I've never been a member. You just buy it like you would with any online store, they won't even pressure you into becoming a member!

Just a note though, if the games sell out they will still be available to rent if you are a member and then keep the game for the sale price. I was a little confused when I started since some of the popular games said "Keep" but I couldn't purchase them.

I did this for AC:B a few months back and they eventually had a price drop on that game and I was able to get it for $5 with the coupon. I plan on doing the same for Kingdoms.

I always thought the microsoft store was the marketplace on the dashboard.....am I wrong? If not, how do they sell out on a digital download?

Neverdead is certainly worth 5.99 but getting the online achievements is really going to be hard even if you have 3 other people. I played with some of the best gamers and it wasn't easy.

On another note, if anyone is interested in that prototype walmart deal......WAIT. They have a shit load of copies at all the ones around me so they aren't going any where and that price point is way too high right now. It will go down again soon
