Nope, not even then. I've had the aggravating experience of getting a scratched up GH disc in my pristine black label box way too many times.
If you get in the technicalities what I bring to the counter is what I intend of purchasing.
If you get into technicalities, GS's computer system doesn't differentiate between GH and black label. As far as they're concerned it's the same product.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Collector's Edition is only $10 at gamestop right now. Guess they are dumping all their extra copies. Picked one up at Christmas for $15 and the statue is pretty sweet haven't gotten around to the game yet but for $10 this is a pretty nice package.

I've actually heard decent things about the game especially the multiplayer. Alot of the complaints focused around the horrible bugs which have been getting patched, and the fact that the ending was a complete let down due to a lame final boss. Aside from the statue the collector's edition also some cool other bonuses packed in like patches and a neat little document and 3-4 DLC items.

Main thing that makes me really want to play is the co-op though. Love games with co-op campaigns. if anyone gets the 360 version I'll tag along through the campaign with you.

Yeah it's kind of surprising to see it hit $10. I wonder just how many copies of the collector's edition there are for it to have dropped this low don't think I have seen anyones inventories dry up yet :P.

Had a pretty bad experience today :P.

Afterwards I hit game stop and found a few things was an overall shity experience thanks to the clerk though :P. Guy got pissed off when I asked if I could keep the cases and manuals I picked out since he was trying to give me loose copies. He did it but he bitched the entire time that he would have to reprice all the loose cases all 4 of them which took about 3 seconds each he just had to input a number hit print and a new sticker popped out :P. He also went out of his way to find the shitiest complete copies he could find the behind the counter instead of just giving me the cases I had found on the floor. Probably going to see if I can switch out the disc for Ninety Nine Nights which is written all over and has scratches through the top layer and the case for Shell Shock which is cut up for some reason at another gamestop. Probably won't ever be going back to this one I've dealt with the clerk before and he's seemed okay but today he was the very definition of a douche.

Don't even know why he was bitching about repricing or why he bothered printing out new labels when he kept the cases I picked out in the first place :P. I was the only person in the store so I don't know why he was so pissed it wasn't like he was busy :P.

I'm pretty sure this is old news but all PS2 games/accessories are 75% off.
