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.

Yep, I'm game for teaming up in MW3. I hate playing randoms as well. The only times I'll play regular MP in COD is if I'm with at least one or two other friends, so at least then I'll know I have someone worth a damn on my team.

Yeah, Skyrim was on my "hmm, interesting" list up until about a month ago. Since then, it's been bumped up to my "damn I want this" list. So it was an easy decision to jump on the 50% off deal with the combo of MW3 and Skyrim.

Yeah, I'm hoping the UPS guy shows up during the 1pm hour, like they sometimes do. We have a live drive remote for one of our campaigns 4-7pm, so if he shows up during the 1pm hour, that'll give me a good hour and half to play and enjoy Revelations before I have to leave for the remote.

If anyone wants WWE '12, better preorder it now from Amazon. Amazon has WWE '12 listed for $47 for pre-order right now. If you're planning on getting the game, I'd jump on that right now and lock it in with the pre-order price guarantee, save yourself $13 right off the bat.

Turtle Beach is probably the best of the bargain brands. Tritton is terrible. They still don't sound even remotely close as good as the Astro A40s do, though. I've had mine about a year now and I'll say it's the best investment I've ever made. I'd probably die without them. :D

Scored probably the best deal I have all year today. I noticed that Best Buy was selling the Arkham City CE for $34.99 online and it had already sold out. I noticed on CAG the retail locations were not price matching, but I called anyway and was told they had none in stock. Shit. I decide to go anywhere(I've been told incorrect info by a BB employee multiple times before) and see one sitting on the shelf in plain sight for $100, which is retail. I take it to customer service, show them the web site, and the lady says "since it's an outlet store deal, we probably wont be able to price match, but I'll go check." She comes back 5 minutes later and says they can't do the $35, but they'd be willing to do $45. Sold.

Yeah apparently a ton of people had orders cancelled. IMHO Best Buy is pratically the walking dead hanging on by a thread thanks to those who fail to embrace technology. I basically use it as my Amazon showroom. I went and looked at HD sets, decided which one I wanted and then told them they would have to match Amazon's price. They didn't and I walked out got the t.v. I wanted for $700 less (not even counting the no sales tax).

Well, that Gold Box was disappointing, much like all the recent ones have been. I can remember eagerly waiting for Gold Box deals because of how good they used to be. Gamestop and Best Buy are both having really big sales this upcoming week. Here's the links to CAG for all the details on what is on sale:

Get the original Fallout PC game for free from GOG.... (http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout)Don't bother unless you just really love old-school PC RPGs. I purchased it cheaply awhile back and it's a turn-based click style RPG. I couldn't get past the first cave you start in before dying several times. I don't enjoy that style so I didn't bother trying much more than that. But... free is free.

I don't have high hopes for the Gold Box Day given how poor the deals have been on Amazon since Black Friday. They've ended the 'Deal of the Day' and replaced it with 'Today's Deals' which is just games, peripherals, etc. that have been marked down and they seem to change weekly instead of daily.

Yeah, I ended up biting on this. I've been considering the Fallout games for a while and had thought about buying Fallout 3 a number of times but never went through with it. So between that, and getting TES IV as well, so I can play the prequel to Skyrim (which I have much enjoyed playing), both for $20, too goo to pass that up.

The Run is good to "run" through the offline story and then selling back. You may still get $20+ back for it on eBay (I got $22).

I'm going to get Rayman Origins (if it isn't sold out). Heard it's an awesome game.

Yep it's not a very direct prequel. I think Oblivion is 200 years before Skyrim. There will be a ton of subtle references to Oblivion and the land of Cyrodiil though.

Yeah, that's what I remember reading, but it will at least give me some additional insight into the Elder Scrolls world and some things I learn/see/come across in Oblivion will maybe make more sense of the things I learn/see/come across in Skyrim. Plus, I've enjoyed Skyrim a ton, so why not go some of other TES games a try and venture through some of the other parts of the series.

If you haven't jumped on any of them before, they're definitely worth it at those prices.

Yeah, those games at those prices are phenomenal. I bought Rage at $60 and I really wish I would have waited. It was an amazing game, but not worth $60. Now, at $10? That is an easy buy for those who have not picked it up. In fact, I owned every game up there, but Dead Island. All of those are worth the money. Heck, Red dead and GTA IV were worth their $60 price heads.

Rage was a really good game that someone didn't finish. Probably the best game I have played that didn't have a drop of DLC

This one probably wont last long: Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City for $17.99 shipped from Best Buy for today ONLY.

I know it got pretty hammered in the reviews, but I believe that's because people were expecting a horror game, which it is not. I've played it, beaten it, and enjoyed every second of it. If you like 3rd person action shooters, you truly can't go wrong.

Also, it has very easy trophies/achievements for the most part, but if you plan on getting the platinum/1000GS, it's extremely time consuming for some of them.

The rest of the week for Best Buy's Deal of the Day was leaked, so it's not 100% confirmed, but:

Sunday: Operation Raccoon City(360,PS3) $17.99
Monday: Black Ops Controller(360,PS3) $9.99
Tuesday: Silent Hill Downpour(360,PS3) $19.99(I'm all over this one if true)
Wednesday: Arkham City Standard Edition(360,PS3) $19.99

Friday: TERA(PC) $24.99
Saturday: Rocketfish BT Headset $19.99

It may be because I've become spoiled, but I find these Gold Box deals to be embarrassing. $47.99 for The Witcher 2? Seriously? Best Buy has been completely owning their asses when it comes to video game deals for the past several months. Hell, in the last 2 months alone I've gotten Arkham City, Silent Hill Downpour, and The Darkness 2 for under $10. I just walked in today and picked up SSX for $10.

...and then Amazon wants me to believe The Witcher 2 at $47.99 is considered to be a "gold" deal. :D

I miss the days when I'd set my alarm for one of these babies because I knew they were going to have a slew of deals well worth hopping on. I also remember when they would offer a $20 credit on just about any preorder. Oh well.

I'm not sure how it is with other headsets, but with the Sony ones you don't have to wire up anything to the surround sound receiver. Just with the dongle it automatically routes the game and chat sound to the headset. I know on my Turtle Beach ones for 360, I had to connect them into the audio jacks of my receiver.

They're coming out with the A50s next month. Mixamp is built into the headset and they're completely wireless. $300, though. I'm waiting on reviews, but I'll definitely be getting them if they are of the same quality as my A40s. My only complaint about the A40 is the same as yours...a ton of wires.

I can't stand Turtle Beach or Tritton headsets. They all have that annoying hiss when there's a silent part in the game.

It may be because I've become spoiled, but I find these Gold Box deals to be embarrassing.It's pretty clear to me that Amazon has determined that they don't need to convince us to buy from them ... we will anyway. They're not trying to undercut their competition by a door-busting amount anymore.

Black Friday is going to be very, very interesting this year.


I can't stand Turtle Beach or Tritton headsets. They all have that annoying hiss when there's a silent part in the game.I've been wondering about that. The hiss in my Turtle Beach headset is pretty much constant, but I was never sure if it was my setup or what (I would certainly say that I have an unorthodox setup). Unfortunately none of my friends have other headsets, so I can't compare other than to buy other sets myself (which would be prohibitively expensive).

Yeah, it's normal. I've tried 2 different versions of each and they all 4 had the hiss. I've read reviews of other ones as well and apparently they all have the hiss. It always bugged me to death.

Yep, just one of the things they've done the past several months. The @Gamer magazine has coupons in it that stacks with their sales prices, and they're usually smart enough to put at least a few of the games on sale. They had SSX for PS3 and 360 on sale for $40 and the magazine had a $30 off coupon, so it was essentially $10. They dropped Soul Calibur to $30 and had a coupon for $20 off SCV in the same magazine, so it too was essentially $10.

That's just in last month's magazine. During the deal of the day the last 2 weeks they've had Arkham City for $10 and Silent Hill Downpour for $20 with no coupon required. They had The Darkness II for $9.99 with a coupon out of the magazine like a month after it launched. I almost forgot, but in the same magazine as the one that had the SSX and Soul Calubur coupons, they had $20 off The Deadliest Warrior and low and behold, they dropped the price to $19.99, so people were able to literally get it for free.

They've been killing it with gaming deals for the past several months. The $14.99 I spent for the magazine subscription was the best $15 I've ever spent. It's saved me hundreds of dollars and I'm not even halfway through my subscription.

Amazon needs to lead. Not follow. They copied Best Bay's $15 deal on Gears of War 3.

First Gold Box deal was SSX for $34.99. You know...the same game Best Buy had a month ago for $10. :fp:

Looking at the descriptions, there might be some cool titles, with far from great prices.

Yeah, some good titles but we'll have to see on prices. I expect them to be underwhelming to say the least.

10AM PST - Borderlands Game of the Year(probably)
12PM PST - "Lightning strikes in the great groundbreaking collector's edition." Absolutely no idea. They don't have the inFAMOUS 2 CE in stock so it can't be that.
3PM PST - Dead Island
5PM PST - Max Payne 3
8PM PST - Could be any fighter, don't know.

If the noon central game is New Vegas GotY for like $10 or $15 I'd bite.

Max Payne 3 would be great for $25, but it'll probably be $35.

As for fighters if it is UMvC3 on PS3 for $20 or less I'll get it. Street Fighter X Tekken I heard was baaaaad, but for $10-$15 I'd check it out.

But I'm in agreement with you Beatn, I'm not optimistic that the prices will be good, but I'll still be watching.

Some think maybe Final Fantasy XIII-2 CE, or I'm sure that Amazon can flip the switch all of a sudden and say they have Infamous 2 CE in stock.

Yeah, it has to be one of those two. They have the CE of Final Fantasy XIII-2 in stock right now for $60. If that's what it is and they knocked it down to $19.99, I'd have to get it. But...we all know that isn't happening. :D

Well Max Payne 3 isn't even in stock right now either....so that means Infamous 2 isn't out of the running.

I'm in the theater now for The Dark Knight (starts in 10 minutes) but I stopped by Best Buy before coming here. I bought Pilotwings Resort (3DS), Metroid Other M and Sin & Punishment 2 (Wii) for $16. I know most people hate the Wii but I personally love the system. It has more good games then people give it credit for. I also don't even have a 3DS but I'll be getting one the day Animal Crossing comes out for it (I LOVE that series). Pilotwings was the launch 3DS game I was most interested in. Glad I don't have to pay $40 for it.

I'm only one man, but it doesn't hurt to try :D

Bodapati:Hello, my name is Priyanka. I'll be happy to help you today.12:45:01 PM
Bodapati:Could you please explain the issue in detail?12:45:07 PM

Me:Hello!12:45:35 PM
Me:I just wanted to start with that I'm a long time Amazon customer and have purchased many items over the years from you guys.12:45:53 PM
Me:I just wanted to make a comment on Video Games Deals and the Gold Box for Video Games. As you can see they don't sell well, because they really aren't that great of deals. 12:46:21 PM
Me:For example, SSX today for $35. Best Buy offered it for $10 a month or so ago. I run a gaming site, and I can tell from the community's reaction that ever since Black Friday, the deals, especially on Gold Box are very underwhelming.12:47:04 PM
Me:I just wanted to pass that feedback along.12:47:11 PM

Bodapati:Thank you for the feedback, Jeremy. 12:47:43 PM
Bodapati:I'll make sure to pass this on to the management.12:47:57 PM

Me:Great! Thank you! 12:48:04 PM

She probably gave you the finger and didn't even report your feedback. :D

Bodapati? WTF?

Borderlands GOTY up for $19.99. Meh, it's been that price before at several retailers months ago.

Yep. :D And JB's next order from Amazon will probably run into "shipping issues" and take a couple weeks to arrive. :D

Right now that would be Borderlands 2 :D FUCK!

(unless Max Payne 3 or the fighting game wow me tonight)

Well. Wait. I did buy the MP3 album of Johnny Cash Live @ Folsom Prison today and that came through okay :D
