Deal of the Day: Assassin's Creed for $30 at Circuit City online

by Alan Tsang { Jul 2nd 2008 at 10:00AM }

Those of who were hesitating about Assassin's Creed may want to take a plunge with this deal, which takes 50% off the retail price of the game and includes free shipping. A look around shows the PS3 version of the game is still retailing for around $60 at online retailers. We've had the exact same deal before, so those of you who cursed the heavens when you missed it the first time around is getting a second chance.

[Thanks, Chris!]

Save your money. the game isn't that great. Plus you can get it for like 19 bucks on Gamefly. I'm never buying older games at stores anymore when i can get it on gamefly way cheaper plus rent games that are new.

Dr.dre are the games that you buy from gamefly in good condition? I have been hesitant to buy anything.

I may have to jump on this, its worth 30 bucks right?!

Ozzie @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:16AM

BTW, you can get it on ebay for around $20-25 shipped if you try.

bayn @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:19AM

nevermind then...

jeff @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:19AM

they should be paying us to take that game off their hands.

I'd say it is okayish for 30$. Not great, not good, just ok.
The game starts pretty good but after an hour you realize that it is nothing but boring repetiton PLUS storytelling of an extreme sleep-inducing quality... the story itself is great but horribly told... and most foreseeable..

sean @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:26AM

the fightin was kind of fun from what i remember. havent played since its release. but it was so damn repetitive. same missions over and over and over again.

and yeah gamefly does sell games cheap i can keep MGS4 form them for only 40 bucks. and i know it works becuase i had it since june 12th lol

JerJerBinks @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:49AM

Is that $40 + the $15 rental fee?

Sean @ Jul 4th 2008 7:12AM

there is no rental fee. unless u mean the 20 bucks a month for 2 games out at a time. but we get about 2 games a week when i dont keep them forever like MGS4 lol. ive been a memebr for over a year so get 10% discounts though. or somewhere around 10%

Kevin @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:27AM

Honestly if there is no multiplayer then just rent it.

$30 is way too much to pay for a game you will only play for about a week.

Richard @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:50AM

Deal of the Day? more like rip-off of the day. This is one of the most boring games i've ever played! For anyone who hasn't bought it... don't bother!

evilJaze @ Jul 2nd 2008 10:53AM

I'll have to agree with the others. I bought it on day 1 and then sold it on eBay a week later. The repetition got to me after a few hours. Good idea but bad execution.

Neil @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:18PM

So true.....it's a shame cause it could have been awesome.

Ben @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:14AM

This game was repetitive.

But it is visually interesting, has a compelling story, and was fun to play. If you plan to sit and play this all the way through in one weekend, then don't buy it. If you plan to play for 1 hour at a time over the course of a couple weeks, then do.

I can't wait for AC2.

ComicShaman @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:18AM

Wow. I guess I'm in the minority or something, but I enjoyed this game a lot. I loved the climbing and jumping mechanisms, and thought the combat was innovative and enjoyable.

Dirty @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:58AM

I agree, this game was great. The free running was a lot of fun, climbing up all the buildings in the city was very cool. The combat was brutal. I don't know why people are so down on this game. I would go read the reviews and not listen to the jaded people here.

I got it from Gamefly for 17 bucks however.

farfisa @ Jul 2nd 2008 12:26PM

I liked it too (got it bundled with CoD4 for $80 when it was released). The thing that actually annoyed me the most with it was that there were no subtitles--the sound got pretty annoying ("do you have any coins? please sir, I need some money!" PUNCH! Mission failed.), so I kept the volume low and ended up missing some of the story.

Brodie-san @ Jul 2nd 2008 11:58AM

I got it for my 30th birthday and haven't taken it out of the wrapper yet. I'm still looking forward to it though. Naysayers be damned!

Oh, I was 30 on Christmas Day so, it's been sitting there for over 6 months now

;)

Neil @ Jul 2nd 2008 1:14PM

The game was such a let down.....after 1 hour you've seen it all and other than the graphics, there wasn't much to see. To date this is the worst PS3 purchase I have mad, thankfully I bought it for $40 and was able to sell it for $40, so at least I got my money back.
