Ridge Racer 6 = Best Buy Less Than On Ebay!
« on: August 10, 2006, 04:34:00 PM »

Okay... Ridge Racer 6 on Best Buy's site is only 19.99 + $2 shipping
So I flip over to ebay to see what the new and used are going for thinking that if I can
get it for maybe $12-$18 total, I'd get one.

Ebays are going over $30 for a sealed game yet!  ahhh!

they should pay you 20.00 to take it home so they have shelf space for real games. what a total pile, I wonder if its reached the 8,000 units sold mark, bahahaha

wow I'll have to pick that back up... I bought it for $30 played it once or twice, it was ok but it collected dust so I sold it (for $35) figuring I'd pick it up again down the road if I felt like it.... I might have to pick it back up.

it's not the best game in the world but it's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be... oodles of cars and a handful of tracks in about 10 different configurations each (in typical Ridge Racer fashion). it's basically like Burnout but without the crashing... laugh.gif

the online mode was pretty intense from what I played... definitly worth at least $20 beerchug.gif

The Demo was kinda fun.  The graphics weren't that bad (like some say).  It had a clean/smooth look to it.  I'd pick it up for $20.  Expecially if online play is fun.

i dont know anymore but it was the highest selling game in japan, how in the beginning 95% of US 360 owners had COD2, 95% of their owners had RR6 which was only 10,000 but still

sorry, I dont pay attention to software sales for a system in a territory where its dead. 10,000 over there is still a joke  laugh.gif

the series needs to go the way of the dinosaur IMO, good thing my opinion doesnt count  beerchug.gif

"riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiddggggggggggggggggggeee raaaaaaaaaaaaaaccceeeerrrrrr!!! look guys, it's ridge racer!"

i'm surprised no one has said that yet.  anyways, i played the game at zero hour and it was seriously one of my favorite games there.  i bought the game at launch and haven't played it yet at home, however, that is because i'm trying to take a break from racing games.  but the next racing game i play will be ridge racer and i'm looking forward to it smile.gif

in other news, i hate mlb2k6 and it isn't even worth the money it costs to press the disc.

i had RR6 because my sister got it used and at employee discount from her blocbuster (probably $15) I traded it in ($25) and bought PGR3 using her discount. and even though PGR3 is slightly arcadey I havent been happier.

yeah I'd take PGR3, Burnout, or Full Auto over Ridge Racer 6 any day of the week... but I like it better then NFS MW and based on what I played of TDU I liked it better then that too (though it's a different enough game that your tastes could push it the other way).
