RUN, don't walk, to buy it tonight at that price. An incredible amount of fun content that will entertain you for months.

Hell, BF3 Premium is Grand Theft Larceny at that price. It was a steal at $25 last Black Friday at Troll-Mart.

Is there a singly player mode to this game?

Yep, the game comes with 2 CDs in fact, one for the campaign mode.

But the single-player mode in BF3 pales mightily compared to online multiplayer. Still worth $20, though.

Well unfortunately it looks like I got it wrong. The Target I saw this at had only BF3 Premium Editions and they were all lined up on the shelf with the sticker tag that said 19.99, however, the sale price was only for BF3 standard which they had none of. I did inform them that it was confusing having them all lined up on the shelf that way. Sorry for the false alarm, it did seem to good to be true.

I've still got a free copy of the PC version of X-COM that I got when I pre-ordered Bioshock via Steam. So I can send it to anyone who wants it. First one to PM me gets it.

Edit: It's been claimed.

Until 4/7 Gamestop has 50% trade in bonus (60% for PUR members) as long as you buy any used game. If there's nothing you want you can simply return the used game purchase within 7 days.

I got $40 back on Tomb Raider, added $9 and picked up Gears of War: Judgment.

Justin Patel (EA developer) said the patch would be submitted for certification late this week or early next, and that it would be in the hands of users 10 to 17 days later. It wasn't announced that it's been submitted to Sony and Microsoft yet, but the official patch list hasn't changed since April 3rd. I think they're done with it.

Maybe this is well known already but I did not know and maybe it varies by store but Best Buy has also been price matching Amazon for me. It is nice because I can get stuff right away and also get rewards.

I saw a list of online stories Best Buy will price-match taped behind the register when I visited my local BB last week. Among those sites, from my foggy memory:

Tigerdirect.com
Frys.com
Target.com
Sears.com
Amazon.com
Buy.com
Newegg.com
Walmart.com

Unfortunately, BB dropped its trade-in bonus to 50 percent starting this week. It was 100 percent for about the previous month. For example, you would receive $18 in credit for a game that BB's site showed a trade-in value of $9. Still, $13.50 is better than $9.

I think the BB 100% trade in deal is a scam. I say this only because a few weeks ago I called Gamestop to get a trade in value for dishonored. I was told $17.00. The next day I went to BB as they had the 100% trade offer going. They told me dishonored was worth $8.00 but would give me $16 due to the 100% trade in kicker. When I started asking questions they began telling me how much better their trade values were than GS... ???

Fair enough. But does Gamestop price-match its competitors?

just so you know in the future, you can look up the trade-in values on bestbuy.com.

Gamestop has MAG (used) for $1.

Also, 50% off on a bunch of older used games. Mostly garbage with a few decent titles mixed in. I picked up Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, Boom Blox and Ghost Squad for $3 each, Homefront and Blazblue Calamity Trigger for $4 and Virtua Tennis 3 for $1.
