Got $40? Go buy Rainbow Six: Vegas for the 360 right now! photo

It appears as though Best Buy has slashed the price on, what I feel, is the best game on the Xbox 360 right now, Rainbow Six: Vegas. I'm not sure how long this sale will last, but you might as well try to get it while it's hot.

So if you got $40 burning a hole in your pocket, then please go and buy this game now. It's one of the best reasons to own a 360. Its cover system is superior to Gears of War, its single player is tight, and the online experience is the best the 360 can offer right now -- until Halo 3 touches down from Heaven.

I gotta say I played it for a bit with a friend and I just couldn't get into it. I think it was just a little to technical for my tastes. But 40 is a damn good deal

Or is this just online? In which case by "halfway into my car," I mean halfway into my internet truck, getting ready to cruise the pipes.

I have no idea. I try not to venture outside into the real world.

I think you can reserve a copy to pick up though, as one of the options online.

I disagree about the cover system being better than Gears. In R6 you have to hold down the trigger to take cover and stay in cover. Not cool, I stoppped playing after singleplayer.

The cover system in R6V is infinitely superior to Gears. Complaining about holding the trigger down is a lame argument. R6V is incredibly intuitive and easy to use. Its one convenient button with no need to use any other button at the same time. I defy anyone who wants to come in here and attempt to make a valid argument supporting the Gears cover system over R6V.

**Gears is a sick game, and I'm not knocking it or saying one is better than the other. Just the cover system;)

Yeah, I get confused in Gears when I have to push 7 buttons at once to take cover.

I rented this game and actually didn't beat the single player before I had to return it. Granted, I was had work, Christmas, New Year's, and whatnot to deal with, but I think I beat GoW in the first two days I had it. And the cover system is better. The lack of a chainsaw bayonet in R6V is palpable, though.

i dont think its the best on the 360, and i really dont think its cover system is better then GoW..its a decent game, but personally id say the best multiplayer experience on xbl right now is Call of Duty 3

This was in the ad last Sunday, thus it is in store and online, sale ends when the new ad kicks in (sunday). I can't belive no one saw this until now. Circuity City also had it on sale but it was only sunday and mondy.

I've played both the single and multi-player demo and I'm not impressed.

i managed to get Vegas from buy.com for $40 when it came out cause they had that awesome Google Checkout discount. and yeah, i think vegas is superior to Gears. i love gears, but vegas has a better cover system cause you can pop out from any side you want with ease. also, i prefer not taking an entire fucking clip to kill something. realism is better, it only takes 2 to kill Tangos.

Yeah, personally Vegas is just better for me than Gears. I'm all about the semi-realism, and Gears just didn't deliver that for me. Yeah Gears is fun, but it doesn't offer me the replay value online that Vegas does. With the coop modes and all the different multiplayer modes, its just too good to pass up. For me it is the best thing on the 360 right now, that is until I buy crackdown, throw it away, and wait for the halo 3 demo.
