LA Noire = Amazon's Gold Box Deal of Day for $44.99. I'll let the TGT guys provide a link that gets them the referral.


L.A. Noire (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0J5UQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thegamtai-20&linkCode=as2&camp=217153&creative=399349&creativeASIN=B002I0J5UQ)

Looks like they knocked off another $5?

I show $39.99 for L.A. Noire now (if you ordered today for $44.99, I'm sure it will adjust once it ships).

I just checked, and I could rent Duke Nukem Forever at a HyVee grocery store by my apartment.

[JBHuskers]

Looks like the best thing to do is go rent it at 9:01PM and then you don't have to bring it back until just before 9 the next night to only get charged one night.

Looks like if you rent from this link, we both get a free rental (assuming it's your first registered rental)

That is a crazy good deal, they are making no money on fear 3 at that price. I wonder what made them offer it in the package.

I played one of the Lego Batmans for the heck of it. Neat little game, a bit of humor, it was actually pretty fun, but the amount of time wasted chasing collectibles around got old. I'd like to play the Indiana Jones and Star Wars ones, but I just really don't want to spend most of the game time chasing collectibles.........to me, that is a cheap ploy by the game designers to lengthen the experience instead of let me friggin' play. I understand some people like that stuff as they are fans of the movie or comic series (like the Batman game) or whatever, but blah.

Just look at it this way Beatn, once we do get caught up, we'll make a mint selling these back on eBay :D

PS3 games usually sell pretty well regardless of the title....or if GameStop has a nice trade-in sale, like they're doing now with an extra 50%.

[I OU a Beatn]

I'm too lazy to sell on eBay. I hate shipping stuff. I always wait until they do the 50% extra at GS and then just unload everything I don't need and preorder a bunch of games. Of course, I say that now, but I've missed out on the last several 50% extra because I haven't been able to get caught up at all. If no new games were released for a full year, I still probably wouldn't get caught up. From the way you talk, I imagine you're the same way. :D

[oweb26]

I have finally gotten my collection down to 4-6 titles and today I am going to go get Fear, I picked up star wars, and infamous 2 yesterday. Not to mention all the titles that are coming out in the next 5 months, so I will be resupplied in a little bit.

I traded in some games and GS gave me 140.00 so I pretty much pre-ordered everything I want for the year, and at least half paid for the ones coming soonest.

Fallout New Vegas is $10 at Best Buy this week. I picked up the last 360 copy from my store. I read online that they were also selling the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition(the one with all the DLC on the disc) for $10 as well, but my store was cleaned out.

I did see a Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition(the one with the arcade stick) for $60, but I decided against it. I suck at fighting games so I can only imagine how bad I would suck with the arcade stick. I could've been a dick and bought it just to resell, but I don't want to ruin it for someone who might get enjoyment out of it.

Actually, you'd probably be better at the game with a stick. At least I was when I was younger. Considerably easier to play with a stick than just a regular gamepad.

Yep, that was my reaction. I picked it up and was just like, "nah, it'll be a back log." I know that it's an incredible value since it's nearly impossible to find nowadays, and when you do, it's $150+, but oh well. Hopefully someone gets in on the deal that will actually enjoy it and put it to good use.

Not sure where you're seeing the Tournament Edition for $60....Best Buy's sale for the regular game is $40....considering it's $200....I bet that was an error.

Just a heads up baseballplyrmvp, I deleted your posts just so that we don't ruin the possible fun for others.

Yeah, the popularity shot up 5000+% today for NCAA '12 on that site. There's absolutely no way they're not going to correct it. If they actually ship out copies tomorrow, it'll be the single biggest blunder by a major company I've seen in my life time.

NCAA Football 12 now has a $20 credit at Amazon!!! (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/showthread.php?2616-20-Credit-Added!-Amazon-Pre-Orders-of-NCAA-Football-12&p=77995&viewfull=1#post77995)

[JBHuskers]

If you have the cash, there is a $40 off lightning deal on one of the high-end Tritton headsets. (http://www.amazon.com/Tritton-Digital-Precision-Gaming-Headset-Pc/dp/B0017IUFAE/ref=as_li_tf_sw?&camp=212361&linkCode=wsw&tag=thegamtai-20&creative=380789) The deal is good until 4pm central.

[I OU a Beatn]

That's pretty good. They're the full surround sound version so you're going to be hard pressed to find a better deal if you're in the market for one.

[morsdraconis]

I'm sorry, but that's WAY too much money for a freakin' headset, even with the $40 off deal...

[I OU a Beatn]

It's full surround sound and you're going to pay a nice little chunk of change if you want surround sound in a gaming headset.

[oweb26]

I thought about buying them today but they aren't wireless, I have kids in my house and that is an ass-whopping waiting to happen. LOL

[CLW]

Damn I missed out on that headset deal. Now that I am settling in I am in the market. Guess I'll take a look at the Astros again and maybe get a hauppage too.

Someone on eBay a few days ago was selling a brand new A40 with the mixamp for $150 shipped. I wonder if he realizes how much money he lost out on.

Amazon Gold Box is KZ3 Helghast Edition for $40. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=amb_link_85826191_2?tag=cheapassgam08-20&ie=UTF8&docId=1000208101&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=right-blog-0&pf_rd_r=1G9A5P0F9H9S7ZV1S57F&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1277833802&pf_rd_i=468642)

22% claimed.

[I OU a Beatn]

I don't know where else to put this, but with NCAA coming out in two days, I'm guessing interest in capturing games is going to rise again. Obviously the HD PVR is the best, but expensive. There's a solution that, for the time being, is 1/3 of the cost and has really good capture quality. It's called the Roxio Game Capture. It retails for $99.99 but you can get it a lot cheaper if you follow these steps:

1. Click this link and add to your cart for automatic $30 off. (http://www.roxio.com/enu/promotions/landing/machinima/game-capture/console/overview.html)
2. Where it says coupon, type in "roxiostore15" and hit apply. That will knock the price down to $59.49.
3. Make sure you select USPS Priority Mail, which is free and will get you the equipment in 2 or 3 days.

I don't know how much longer this is going to last, but I did go ahead and buy one as a backup. I checked out some quality tests on Youtube and was surprised/impressed. It comes with all the software and hardware you need and it does allow you to PLAY in HD with component cables, so that's a huge bonus. Here's a quality test:

[psuexv]

I think I remember someone posting a while ago that they were getting one of these, Skip was it you? Any feedback on it?

[AustinWolv]

It's called the Roxio Game Capture.
Damn, that seems like a pretty good deal. Problem is I run HDMI into my receiver from the 360 and then HDMI to my TV. Component is fine, but I'd have to go buy that cable too and that is extra cables instead of the clean single HDMI cable.
Too bad they couldn't have put HDMI and optical on there.

[gschwendt]

The problem is that HDMI is much more secure in being able to record, etc. so you'd essentially not be able to capture everything you would want. In other words, you might be able to capture some games, but not necessarily all. Definitely wouldn't be able to capture TV. That's why all of these devices are Component.

[AustinWolv]

Thanks G, I didn't know it was locked down that much.

[I OU a Beatn]

There's capture cards that you install into your PC(never tried because I have a laptop and I don't really mess around with it a lot) that allow you to capture video via HDMI, if I'm not mistaken. The only bad thing when using that device would be the extra cables as opposed to using one. I personally can't tell the difference in picture quality from HDMI to component.

Anyway, I bought one of these as a backup and it shipped today. Hopefully I'll have it by Wednesday or Thursday and post some impressions for those of you interested in it.

Yeah, but with the BlackMagic card (HDMI capture), you not only have to have a really high-end PC but again, you might not be able to capture everything, certainly not any TV.

[I OU a Beatn]

Yeah, I've never bothered with it. I'm fine using component cables and capture boxes. As you said, I can almost guarantee my laptop wouldn't be capable of even running the Black Magic card.

That is some good information to know. I kind of always wondered why companies settled for component instead of HDMI.

[AustinWolv]

Agreed OU.

I just have laptop too FWIW.

I'm still weighing if I would want to bother switching out to component or not. It isn't like I really capture video from games without a reason to. I did a couple times at an old site just using my video camera and without a real reason to do it now, I think it would just be wasted money although it looks like a good deal.

[I OU a Beatn]

I'll have this bad boy later today. Kudos to them for their shipping time. Unbelievable. They shipped it out Monday night and I'll be getting it today for free. Couldn't be happier in that regard.

[psuexv]

Agree on the fast turn around. Ordered mine on Tuesday, it shipped on Wednesday and I have it in hand now.

Is Brink worth $20?
Only if you plan to play it online... it's not worth it as a single player experience IMO since all of the maps are arena based. $20 is probably the limit for it though.

If you still haven't downloaded Portal (why in hell not?), Valve is giving it away free again until September 20th.

Even those with lower spec PCs can still probably play Portal... it doesn't require high spec PCs.

That is freakin' awesome. Man, Valve is such an amazing company.

Darksiders only $5 on Steam (http://store.steampowered.com/app/50620/?snr=1_4_4__13)... I never really had much interest in playing it but heard good things about it and can't go wrong for $5.

Hopefully this one won't suck. The last couple Gold Box days have sucked.

I can't remember the last great Amazon deal for video games, aside from Pre-order Credits.

Deus Ex was $35 last week, I think? That's about the extent of it, but I like the $10 or $20 older or less popular game sales they used to do.

[cdj]

Today's Gold Box deals:

6AM - F.E.A.R. 3
8AM - Grand Theft Auto IV: Complete
11AM - Cyberbike Magnetic Edition
1PM - No More Heroes: Heroes' Paradise
4PM - Mortal Kombat: Kollector's Edition
6PM - StarCraft Battle Chest
8PM - Warcraft III Battle Chest

Yeah, I must be one of the few who actually enjoyed it. It was a fun game and a nice change of pace from many of the same old usual games coming out these days. I still have my copy and may have to break it out again sometime since it's been a few months since I played it, and don't really remember the details of the story anymore, so it'd be fresh and "new-ish" again.

I would disagree with that, but I REALLY disliked LA Noire.

What was so "bad" about the game? I generally have found most of Rockstar's GTA "spin offs" enjoyable (Red Dead, Bully, etc...) but I never seem to have the time to finish them b/c I usually rent them from GameFly and decide I want to try another rental and need to send one back.

It's really slow paced for some, but I enjoyed doing the detective work. The driving and shooting is VERY GTA like. I have a feeling you'll dig L.A. Noire.

Well that was the major complaint about Heavy Rain and I LOVE that game so I'm leaning heavily to buying it today from GameFly. It's also a + that it might allow me to get UC3 in the mail so I don't have to buy it too. :nod:

[steelerfan]

So.... I just got another $5 credit from GameFly and LA Noire (which I have at home but have yet to play) has a keep it price of like 17 bucks meaning I can buy it for 12. Worth it?

For $12, yes, it's worth it. It's a bit boring, but $12 is $12.

Heavy Rain wasn't slow. It was engaging, unlike LA Noire. LA Noire was boring as hell. There was nothing all that interesting from what I played of it whereas I played through Heavy Rain twice and was intently engaged in my brother's playthrough as well. Heavy Rain was interesting because of the mystery behind it all whereas LA Noire is just a series of boring hide and seek games where it's completely impossible to ever get the "interview" mini-games correct, no matter how intently you pay attention to these people.

[GatorfanStovy]

I so have to agree LA nore got boring super fast.Only had it a for a month .It also got very repetitive for me. The only thing I enjoy where the story some and graphics were par

[hitman625]

LA Noire did get very repetitve after awhile. I do wish I could've beat the game, but everytime I tried to interview someone in the interview room, I was unable to start the interrogation. The only option I had was to restart the entire case and I was pretty far along.

The buy 2 get 1 deal is such a sham because they raise their prices to where you're not really saving anything.

Amazon has been sued before for things like this. If I am not mistaken, Amazon used to have new items priced differently based on where the IP address and your internet history. I.e. Person X and Person Y would go to their site and look at an item at the exact same time and the prices could very well be completely different.

Hell the same person can go into the Top 100 sales games and see the price is cheaper than in the 2 for 1 section.

Nice find which is why I don't have a real problem with it. We need the "fools" that fall for such "promotions" to pay for the $15-$20 credits for pre-ordering games. :nod:

Tropico 4 (49.99 separately - $49.99 in 2 for 1)
Red Dead GOTY for free. ($42.50 separately - $49.96 in 2 for 1 but it was FREE)

Hmm, tempting. I've been wanting to get MW3, and Skyrim has quickly caught my eye in the last few weeks, after I never even gave it any consideration in the past.

How long is the deal good for?

It's a "hidden" sale, so no clue.

Damn, hopefully it lasts for a day or two. I get paid sometime overnight tonight, depending on when Clear Channel feeling like DDing my paycheck into my bank account, so by 6am tomorrow morning, I'd be all over that.

Nice. Homefront has always been on my interest list since it was released. Looks like I'm gonna be biting on that.

[SmoothPancakes]

And I know have a nice sized backlog of games myself. Assassin's Creed Revelations is set to arrive by no later than 3pm today. I just ordered Modern Warfare 3 and Skyrim with the Buy 1, Get 1 50% off deal through Amazon, and with free two day shipping those will be here by no later than Thursday. I also just bit the bullet on Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and ordered it through Amazon as well with free two day shipping. I just ordered Homefront for $7 through GameFly's Used Game Sale. And Dead Island is in the middle of being shipped to me by bdoughty.

6 games all scheduled to arrive by no later than Friday this week. And all this with two live drive campaigns going on on two separate radio stations that pretty much keep me busy from 6am until 5pm. Thank god I have no other games that I want to get the rest of the year. I have my eye on WWE 12, but that'll be a January or later purchase.

Does that mean I can expect to have a MW3 buddy? It would definitely be nice - randoms blow! :D

You'll love Skyrim. It's absolutely, hands down the most amazing game I've ever played. Just unbelievable. I'm heading in right now to pick up my Revelations Signature Edition and then Halo Anniversary, and then I'm completely done until Black Friday.

[JBHuskers]

I want to get MW3 for 360 eventually since there are quite a few people I know on there too. Great thing about MW is the resale value is always good.
