The Gaming Deals Thread

[JeffHCross]

Yeah, well, considering that my friend who barely played her 360 managed to RROD it while trying to install a game to the HDD ... :: shrug ::

[AustinWolv]

She isn't supposed to pile all her clothes on it.

[JBHuskers]

Well I have both so there.

My local Gamestop has the Legendary Edition of Halo Reach for $69.99. I'm definitely heading over there to get another copy. I can double or even triple that investment on eBay.

I didn't mean the edition itself. With the first one, I sold the flaming helmet for $60. I don't know if I'd still get that much since there seems to be more of them out there now, but I'm tempted to try.

[JBHuskers]

Amazon Gold Box all day for video games...but nothing that really seems enticing to me.

But for those who don't have Mass Effect 2, it's $10.99 (regular sale price) on Amazon now.

Wow... those are some pretty craptacular deals... Though, Splatterhouse is supposed to be a REALLY good game if you're into those type of excessively violent/bloody beat 'em up games (or liked the originals).

[JBHuskers]

Splatterhouse was rated very poorly by some and decent by others.... But I still wanna play it sometime, probably for $10 or $15 though.

[JBHuskers]

Today is the last day to be able to get Super Meat Boy for 800 MSP

Only one day left to get SMB on XBLA for 800 MSP! http://bit.ly/cjdi7T

Definitely worth it!

You have no excuse....Limbo is now $10, a must buy :)

Limbo drops to $10 on Xbox Live today http://aol.it/hpnvVr

James Bond 007: Blood Stone (PS3, 360) is $29.99 today as part of the Amazon Deal of the Day.

Got this for Christmas. It's actually been a fun game. It's not a AAA title but I'd give it a 7.5/10. There are a few things I would have changed but overall I've looked forward to playing it. Standard 3rd person shooter with Bond thrown in. Lots of cutscenes and story. The negatives: cpu AI is dumb, game drops too many hints and holds your hand and the smart phone should never been allowed to map out enemies. The game is too easy so I started over on Hard/Agent and it was a lot better. Furthermore I never used the smart phone unless prompted for the most part.

If people play it on the lower difficulty levels and use the smart phone to see where the enemies are the game would be WAY too easy and not very rewarding or enjoyable. I kind of laugh at the people complaining about how short the game is because on Hard it's going to take over 12 hours for me to finish. The exceptional gamer could plow through on Hard but I'd like to see how the 007 difficulty is when I finish the game. The driving scenes are fun as well.

[AustinWolv]

You have no excuse....Limbo is now $10, a must buy :)

Wolverine for the PS3 is only $4.89 on Thursday at EB Canada. They are doing daily deals. I thought the demo was a classic button masher. I was actually disappointed with how gory it was because I can't play something like that in front of my kids and I know my son would be interested in a Wolverine game. I'd have to hide it so I'll probably pass.

[cdj]

Amazon video game Gold Box all day today.

Deal of the Day is Epic Mickey (Wii) for $30.

Wow, not much of a PS3 selection...

[JeffHCross]

38 on PS3, 48 on 360 ... that's more than I would have expected, honestly. I'm fairly certain this list is really just "all games that are $20 or less anyway", and you don't have many PS3 titles that are less than $20 and still quality.

[skipwondah33]

Looks interesting, other than that not much of anything I would want I don't believe.

It was pretty good but it got old to me. I don't think I ever ended up finishing it. It's a GTA clone set in WWII France so take that as good or bad depending on your take.

[JBHuskers]

I finished it and was trying to get the platinum by blowing up all the Nazi posts, but then my PS3 did the YLOD so I never got back into it. I thought the story itself was really good.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah I'm looking into getting that and maybe Dante's Inferno. Really nothing I want on the PS3 side. I should get Rainbow Six 2, I've been wanting to play that for 4 years now since I got rid of my 360.

Enslaved is $14.99 at KMart until the 26th, so I'm definitely picking that shit up when I go to get my preorder for Bulletstorm on Tuesday.

Posted this in the Homefront thread:

Just try and not jump all over this deal:

Go ahead, try not to. :D

[morsdraconis]

Is there a website to go to or something that tells you when Amazon is having these types of deals?

[I OU a Beatn]

cheapassgamer.com is the site I use the most. I go there, click on deals, and then just scan the first page of the forums.

I've taken advantage of Portal 2, Gears 3, NASCAR, debating on L.A. Noire and Mortal Kombat. If they bump the deal to $20, I'll probably get it.

If anyone hasn't bought this yet and was considering it, Amazon already has it knocked down to $44.99 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O6N2NY) for PS3 and 360 for the time being.

Thanks to SP for posting this....Tiger 12 $44.99 on Amazon right now, I'm guessing that like Homefront, this may just be a one-day deal.

[gschwendt]

I got Mafia II for $5 during Steam's Christmas sale... didn't feel at all bad for paying that price but it wasn't what I had hoped it would be. It's a very linear game set in a sandbox map.

[morsdraconis]

Yeah, I was VERY underwhelmed by it. I was expecting something FAR better than what it was. My brother beat it ridiculously fast (like 8 hours, maybe) and I never even bothered with beating it.

Maybe Fable III if it is cheap enough....same with Bulletstorm as I'd like to get it on 360. I doubt baseball will be cheaper than $40 or $45.

Yeah, it was a decent deal, going for $60. And apparently I was generous. From the sounds of it on Cheap Ass Gamer, the entire allotment was sold out in, people are saying, anywhere from less than 60 seconds to a max of 2 minutes.

[JBHuskers]

You can join a waitlist; and if no one checks out within 15 mins of adding to the cart, you will get it.

I will wait and see what Bulletstorm will be, but I don't have high hopes on the price (prob $40).

I have $20 that I just got from Portal 2, but I want to wait and see if Amazon pulls what they did with Tiger and Killzone marking Mortal Kombat down to $45 after day one, so I may just skip everything regardless, unless there is a mega deal I can't refuse (which are far and few in between lately with the lightning deals).

You would be correct. Bulletstorm is only $40 in the Lightning Deal.

Yep :smh: I'll still keep an eye out on the other deals, but the past few months they just don't have much pop to them.

It's possible that it might be one of the incentives Sony gives out when the PSN returns... obviously no clue but it would make perfect sense with Infamous 2 coming out really soon.

That would be really cool, I heard Infamous is pretty good. I'm trying to branch out on my gaming experience, I just bought Uncharted Two for 20$ at Best Buy and I got L.A. Noire coming in. Only other games I have is NCAA's, NBA Live, MW2, Black Ops, Red Dead Redemption, and GTA IV. I'm going to buy the new Oblivion when it comes out... Also what do you guys think about Dead Space? Which one is the best and any other recommendations would be nice :).

Almost forgot, been thinking about picking up Yakuza 3 it's cheap on Amazon right now.

If you preorder Alice: Madness Returns through Amazon for PS3, it's only $44.99. The really awesome thing? All new copies of the game come with original Alice game. Bad ass deal, especially with the coupons I'll have from L.A. Noire and inFAMOUS 2.

With moving I'm going to HAVE to wait on this one. Sounds like L.A. Noire may not have much replayability so I could sell that once I beat it.

Looks like only 20 left in stock for 360. I played the first one and contrary to poor reviews, I enjoyed it (and that is not because I got a platinum trophy :D) I think any fan of the Saw movies will like it. I ended up getting the PS3 version, hope to play through it quick and resell on eBay.

All of that for only $44.99. That's a hell of a pre-order. Why can't all games give great pre-orders like that?

[JeffHCross]

All of that for only $44.99. That's a hell of a pre-order. Why can't all games give great pre-orders like that?FWIW, the 360 version is $56.99, and Walmart and Gamestop aren't running the same deal for PS3. So I think it's just Amazon getting a quick deal in there to drive up attention / pre-orders.

FWIW, the 360 version is $56.99, and Walmart and Gamestop aren't running the same deal for PS3. So I think it's just Amazon getting a quick deal in there to drive up attention / pre-orders.

Yeah, I didn't know what 360's pricing was, but just in general, for all that for $45 for PS3, that's a great pre-order deal. It's a shame you don't see more of that at least every now and then.

Hope that applied to pre-orders....I hadn't got my credit yet, so I am thinking so.

[SmoothPancakes]

Those bastards. They would go and bump it up to $20 the day after it comes out.

[JBHuskers]

Well it might still apply to preorders since they haven't sent out the credit yet.

[psuexv]

Well it might still apply to preorders since they haven't sent out the credit yet.

I already received my credit.

[SmoothPancakes]

I already received my credit.

So did I. I got my credit at 7:30am yesterday morning, before I had even received the game. :D Amazon didn't screw around giving me my credit.

[JBHuskers]

So did I. I got my credit at 7:30am yesterday morning, before I had even received the game. :D Amazon didn't screw around giving me my credit.

Granted it's only $5 more....they have to wait a week+ to play the game when we got to play it day of and still got a $15 credit.....so we still get a great deal thanks to 99 cent release date delivery.

[JBHuskers]

I must have missed the Amazon e-mail...I do have a $15 credit....everyone is talking about Alice....and I am not familiar with the previous game at all, but yet there is a lot of buzz on it.

[DariusLock]

Alice just doesn't seem like a game I could get into.

[JBHuskers]

Hmmm I can either get Alice for $30, or Dead Rising 2 for $10 with my credit...

Alice looks interesting, plus you get a download for the original game from 2000.

Screw it....going with Alice. They have $0.99 release date delivery.

Nothing in the near future that really interests me, and Alice does slightly interest me after looking into it. Especially since Amazon lowered the price to $44.99.

That is very true. I definitely prefer the release day delivery. Plus my release date delivery was free since I'm halfway through a free trial of Amazon Prime (have bought a ton of games and other stuff during this trial, so it had been nice having it), so that's always nice. And I got an email saying I was getting $0.99 back today because while I had preordered at $59.99, the lowest price Amazon had had prior to release date was $59.00.

[DariusLock]

Crysis 2 is 34.99$ at Amazon today, that's a savings of 42%. That's the price for all platforms, if you want the PC version u can buy the download for 29.99.

Fear 3 and Green Lantern have 20$ credits.


Has anyone played Crysis 2 and have any impressions?

I must have missed the Amazon e-mail...I do have a $15 credit....everyone is talking about Alice....and I am not familiar with the previous game at all, but yet there is a lot of buzz on it.

Battlefield 3

Hopefully I get the same! I got the 15$ credit and a e-mail saying I got 99 cents back...hopefully an extra 5$ comes in and L.A. Noire is the greatest deal I've ever gotten on a game!

inFAMOUS 2
Battlefield 3
NCAA 12!
Duke Nukem
F.E.A.R 3
Max Payne 3

Most of those come out right around Alice or even before.

[SmoothPancakes]

Just got an email that I got an additional $5 credit for my purchase,

Sweet! I just got an email from Amazon with an additional $5 credit as well. So that's a $20 credit now, free release day shipping thanks to Amazon Prime, and $0.99 back due to me pre-ordering when it was $59.99, but the price at one point dropped to $59.00. A good purchase. :D

[JBHuskers]

Should have kept it to yourself! Now I'm sitting impatiently waiting for my e-mail to come haha.

[SmoothPancakes]

Should have kept it to yourself! Now I'm sitting impatiently waiting for my e-mail to come haha.

You should get it eventually. If myself and psuexv got it, it would appear everyone who pre-ordered and got the $15 credit is getting the additional $5 credit as well. It just depends on how long it's taking Amazon to get the credits added to the individual accounts.

[psuexv]

Two of those three aren't out for a while.

They're out in the Fall. I guess I don't buy as many games as you :D With LA, TW and NCAA I'll be set until those others drop.

[JBHuskers]

:D

So I'm chatting with Amazon customer service and he said he looked at my account and said I should have $30 in credit....I went and cancelled Alice and rebought it, and the extra $5 from LA Noire is in there and I told him no, just see $20 (I should only have $20)....and he said, one minute I will correct this for you, and I will get Alice for $15.98 release day delivery :D :D

[DariusLock]

I might pick up inFAMOUS 2 before NCAA drops. Then the next purchase will be Oblivion...then it's on to next year lol.

NCAA Basketball (Last 1)
NBA Live 10
NCAA Football 11
L.A. Noire
Uncharted 2
Red Dead Redemption

Can't find GTA IV :(.

[SmoothPancakes]

God Amazon customer service is horrible when it comes to credits. :D Always giving out more credit than is correct.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I buy a lot of games, and I figure I will buy NHL when I go to Tiger 13 Community Day in the fall....the other two games are going to not be out for a while. Gears 3 is already pre-ordered, I could have cancelled it and reordered it, but oh well, that is also about four months away. Skyrim is going to be a no-brainer for me, and I am sure Amazon will have release day delivery and pre-order credit once we get closer (November).

Looking more into Alice, and on top of that you get the original game too, I'm kinda interested....plus when Amazon dropped the pre order price on PS3 to $44.99, add in a $30 credit and release day shipping, that works for me. I can definitely pull a profit on ebay if for some reason I don't like the game. Also, Amazon preorders get the soundtrack to the game which is made by a former member of NIN.

[JBHuskers]

God Amazon customer service is horrible when it comes to credits. :D Always giving out more credit than is correct.

Same here. We used to have a K-Mart here in town all during my school years, up until about 5 years ago when they closed down here. They had some great deals on other stuff, but I never remembered them for great deals in games. Now after they're gone, it seems like they have constant deals in games these days.

[JBHuskers]

Shit they closed the last store here when I was still in college, so that was 2001 or 2002.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, they lasted pretty well here in town against just Meijer, until Wal-Mart came to town. That pretty much put the nail in K-Mart's coffin in my town.
