Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)

[Liver&Onions]

What do you guys think? A dedicated thread for this insane period that's grown into a 2 week credit card debt growing feast?

Here's Amazon's link to the main page for games - http://t.co/viVIzf7s

Nothing too special at the moment. I'll update this post through the week with other links you guys can drum up.


From down below:

Gamefly.com offers $12 off your order of 2 or more Used Games when you enter coupon code BFSBLK20112USED at checkout. Some of the games end up being Free after the coupon. Shipping is free for some of the games.

SEE ALL THE DETAILS HERE: http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/63026/

[K&AJones]

might as well be since some are on the insane path of buying and ranking up debt. i mean what loser cmps out in front of B.B nearly TWO WEEKS before Black Friday. Geeee...get life.


I'm already up to a few games that I really want to finish or go thru in co-op. Though I wouldn't hesitate on grabbing...

Batman: AC, Halo or Rage if they came up "special".

I have been thinking of either a good set of Headphones or a charging station for the controller. Just not sure which one.

I think WalMart is Batman...for a good price.

This thread at CAG has just about every game broken down into retailers so you can compare deals: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=307707&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=micro-blog&utm_campaign=blog

I hope amazon matches one of the Kinect deals. Looks like Target is the best with 4 games included for $100, but I won't be making it out this year.

[mattysemo247]

Red Dead Redemption GOTY edition is $29.99 (360 & PS3) today at Amazon. I still have a $15 Kmart coupon I'm holding on to, so I'm going to pick it up there instead on Thursday for the same price.

Target looks to be 135 with 2 games not 100 with 4.

[starman9000]

I was just going by that CAG link:

Kinect + Kinect Adventures + Gunstringer/Fruit Ninja + Wipeout 2 $99.99

They say TRU will have the same bundle too.

[glassdragon]

I was just going by that CAG link:

Ah, shit. I thought you meant the whole system. You might be better off spending 135 for the whole system and selling off the 4g system for like 90 bucks. If you don't need the other 2 games, then you would be paying 50 for the kinect.

[starman9000]

I thought about that, but don't have a slim myself and then would have to deal with either selling my own or buying the cables to make it work. Getting the games+convenience of not selling/upgrading seems like the better way to go for me right now.

[Osiris3657]

They didn't list the Assassin's Creed Revelations deal, i believe BB is selling that for $34.99 (might be Walmart)

[Xander]

I was going to stand in line to get a TV and Batman: AC at Best Buy, but now I'm hoping to get both online. I really don't want to go out Thursday night. Amazon's Daily Deal twitter feed was asking for BF deal suggestions, so I sent one about Arkham City. Fingers crossed! :)

[pinata242]

I'm also planning to go wait at Best Buy for a TV, but no media or anything else. Everyone else already matches or beats them on price or date, so just the big purchase for me.

[TLwizard]

Amazon has gone ahead and matched Best Buy for Sesame Street Kinect for $24.99.

Is this any good for adults or kids only?

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be grabbing that one for the kid.

There's a demo, it's extremely Kid Oriented...

[MoviePage]

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection dropped $20 to $29.99 on Amazon this evening.

[Michael Corvin]

$4?

[pinata242]

I've never paid that much per point.

[brianluvdvd]

There you go. Deleted it for both of you. Sorry it wasn't up to your standards. I will try to run everything past Michael and pinata in the future before posting.

[Michael Corvin]

:lol: No need to get defensive. I thought a price had changed or something between the time you posted and when I saw it.

[pinata242]

Send it to my secretary first. I'm too busy hating all over the place to respond timely.

[Daryl]

Amazon has gone ahead and matched Best Buy for Sesame Street Kinect for $24.99.

Good lookin' out. Tonight I had a $25 gift card at Toys R Us, so I wanted to pick this up for my daughter since TRU also had it for $25. I waited in the video game section for 10 minutes without seeing a single employee I could snag to open the glass case for me. So instead I grabbed a $25 Amazon Kindle gift card, paid for it with the TRU one, and ordered it from Amazon on my iPhone right there inside TRU.

[Liver&Onions]

10am Tuesday - 4G xbox kinect with $100 credit, price unknown at the moment at amazon

[Evan Meadow]

I think one of the other Lightning Deals later today might be the Ico/Shadow of the Colossus set.

[TheBigDave]

Gamefly.com offers $12 off your order of 2 or more Used Games when you enter coupon code BFSBLK20112USED at checkout. Some of the games end up being Free after the coupon. Shipping is free for some of the games.

I just got Brink (360) and Red Faction Armageddon (360) for $2 shipped.

[flashburn]

Nice, I'll use my $5 subscriber coupon as well. Thanks for the heads up.

[flashburn]

Lame, can't combine.

[dsa_shea]

I just ordered Just Dance for PS3 for 11.99 on bestbuy.com. You can pick it up in stores as well.

[Evan Meadow]

I was right, Amazon was doing an Ico/Shadow of the Colossus deal. And wait listed and full within the first 5 minutes. Sheesh!

[MrX]

I tried to buy it as soon as it went live and was still waitlisted.

Edit: Got it:banana:

[Drexl]

In for the Ico/SOTC disc. I even made sure that I had recently signed in before the countdown ended, but I had to sign in again anyway.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I really hope Amazon price matches Best Buy on Assassin's Creed Revelations.

[RocShemp]

I really hope Amazon price matches Best Buy on Assassin's Creed Revelations.

It would be nice if Steam did the same.

[Liver&Onions]

Some good games lined up today (http://t.co/uNQgvo24) on amazon it seems.
Batman, Madden, Fifa, Gears, etc

[fumanstan]

Rocksmith is supposed to be on sale sometime for $50 at Amazon according to Cheap Ass Gamer's listings. I hope to get in on that.

[MoviePage]

Dark Souls dropped to $34.99 on Amazon for both consoles. Not sure how long that price will last, but it's worth every penny.

[glassdragon]

Just got a 250g 360 for 200 bucks. So happy, now I own both systems so I can get all the exclusives :P

[PopcornTreeCt]

Assassin's Creed will be a lightning deal on Friday. Yay.

[Anubis2005X]

Just got a 250g 360 for 200 bucks. So happy, now I own both systems so I can get all the exclusives :P

Yeah, I ordered one from bestbuy.com myself. Plus Gears of War 1 & 2 for $8? I'll take that, haha...

[Edison]

Just got a 250g 360 for 200 bucks. So happy, now I own both systems so I can get all the exclusives :P

I also picked up the holiday bundle for $199.99, so glad I didn't have to fight any crowds to get it.

[Michael Corvin]

Damn, I would have bought Gears 1&2 for $8. Looks like it's dead.

Metroid Other M is $5 on BestBuy.com (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Metroid%3A+Other+M+-+Nintendo+Wii/9903855.p?id=1218192429888&skuId=9903855&st=metroid%20other%20m&lp=1&cp=1).

[edstein]

I also picked up the holiday bundle for $199.99, so glad I didn't have to fight any crowds to get it.

I did the same. Picked up AC:Revelations and BF3 as well. The walmart 360 deal could be considered a little better if you count the $50 gift card but since its only a 4gb version I figured the extra $50 was worth it for the 250gb HD. I'll now have 3 360's, 1 PS3 and 1 Wii in the house.

[Fandango]

How much was the Team Ico collection?

[aktick]

I was ready to sell my Xbox last summer and now I'm considering caving and getting a Kinect bundle...I've still never played Kinect, is it more fun than the Wii was when it came out (I was sick of it in a few months)?

Would you guys suggest going for the 4gb bundle or just the $100 Kinect itself? I have a 120gb 360 that's about 2 years old.

[MrX]

how much was the team ico collection?

$24.99

I don't see why you'd buy a whole new system. Save yourself that $100 and spend it on games.

[Kedrix]

Dark Souls dropped to $34.99 on Amazon for both consoles. Not sure how long that price will last, but it's worth every penny.

I finally bit. Thought about it since this morning going back and forth. $35 seems to be easily worth it. I just hope it is not too hard for me. That is my main concern.

[aktick]

I don't see why you'd buy a whole new system. Save yourself that $100 and spend it on games.

Wasn't sure how much nicer the newer systems were, or if I might be able to sell the system off to net out better.

[Liver&Onions]

Disneyland Adventures (I think) in 15 minutes is the lightening deal, then Once Upon a Monster at 3:15 PST

[DJariya]

The 3 month Gold Membership cards are part of the Lightning Deal in about 1 hour. I'm guessing they are going to be $7.99 like Best Buy. I'll try to hang around the PC to pick up a few so I don't have to make a trip to Best Buy tomorrow.

Yeah, I think I might grab a couple of those bad boys too if they are $8.

[DJariya]

Picked up the Disneyland Adventure game on the Lightning deal for $34.99. From the trailers I've seen it looks like a nice family oriented game.

[pinata242]

I got that too, best hurry it's 75% claimed already.

[Liver&Onions]

And in a sneak attack, looks like Assassin's Creed Revelations (http://t.co/uNQgvo24) is up in 45 minutes as well. :up:

[mattysemo247]

Yeah, Amazon added some more lightning deals recently. AC, LBP 2 SE, Forza 4 etc. I'm guessing the 3 month XBL will be $7.99 to match BB.

[Liver&Onions]

jesus christ, i was waitlisted within 10 seconds of the 3 month live card...should've added that before MOnster :(

[Kedrix]

jesus christ, i was waitlisted within 10 seconds of the 3 month live card...should've added that before MOnster :(

My problem was that I could not select multiple quantities. No real point if I can't get at least a couple of cards. Oh well, I guess we will wait for the next deal.

[DJariya]

I guess these Lightning deals are pretty stingy. They only let me order 1.

[Kedrix]

I guess these Lightning deals are pretty stingy. They only let me order 1.

I didn't realize until too late, but yeah in the fine print page, they do mention it is restricted to one. Not much point honestly unless you are about to run out right here and now.

So...anybody have any guesses on how low Deus Ex might go?

[fujishig]

How much was monster? Considering it was 25 just yesterday?

[Liver&Onions]

Based on AC:Rs price I'd guess $35 is a safe bet.

[Liver&Onions]

How much was monster? Considering it was 25 just yesterday?

$25. I just missed it yesterday ;)

[RocShemp]

And in a sneak attack, looks like Assassin's Creed Revelations (http://t.co/uNQgvo24) is up in 45 minutes as well. :up:

I'm waitlisted. Doubt I'll get it, though. :(

[MrX]

Forza 4 is $27

[Liver&Onions]

I'm waitlisted. Doubt I'll get it, though. :(

Assassin's Creed - $35.

[edstein]

My AC:R order from BB is backordered. No worries, still got it for $35.

[PopcornTreeCt]

I was expecting the AC:R to be on Friday according to CAG. Sorta messed up my plans. Was it just the PS3 version that was a lightning deal?

[Liver&Onions]

Nope, both consoles

[PopcornTreeCt]

Dammit! I'd buy it at Best Buy but I had a $10 Amazon code to use. Grr...

[pinata242]

Dance Central 2 for $25? Sure.

Man, UPS is going to HATE me after this week with all these single transactions :lol:

[Kedrix]

Deus Ex at $30? Yes thank you. Alright, between Dark Souls and Deus Ex, unless Skyrim has a sale (which I highly doubt), I think I'm good with games.

[pinata242]

Rocksmith Bundle for $50 too. They added a bunch more deals for the rest of the day: Click (http://www.amazon.com/Outlet/b/ref=bf2011_ln_vg?ie=UTF8&plgroup=1&node=409566&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=left-2&pf_rd_r=1HHR08B7DXYH2CQ5WXSP&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1332538402&pf_rd_i=384082011)

That's my 12th Amazon purchase since Monday. I'm out of control.

[Decker]

Tried to get Driver SF as a Lightning Deal the second it went on sale. Selected 360 and was instantly wait listed. This is bullshit.

Edit : I got it off the wait list, but that was a much bigger deal than it needed to be. If you're going to offer it to so few at that price, why sell it at that price at all?

[Kedrix]

3 here (Dark Souls, Deus Ex and LORD EE Blu-Ray). Driver was $20 for about a minute and a half. I keep telling myself that one will be $20 permanently in about 3-6 months. We'll see what else happens, looks like there will be some cheapie oldies on the horizon, Assassin's Creed 2 and Call of Duty: World at War. I guess they are blowing out some stuff. Maybe I'll go watch another movie and try to stay away from this thing :)

[TheBigDave]

Damn it. I sat here all night waiting for Arkham City. Clicked the second it went on sale. And I'm #198 on the waitlist. That sucks.

[gryffinmaster]

Damn it. I sat here all night waiting for Arkham City. Clicked the second it went on sale. And I'm #198 on the waitlist. That sucks.

Did the same thing, and I'm 500+. :down: Oh well.

[Shannon Nutt]

Did the same thing, and I'm 500+. :down: Oh well.

Same here. Pretty frustrating. I'd like to see the ACTUAL number of these Amazon had available...probably 10.

[kurupt]

I was lucky enough to get the PS3 version of Arkham. Hopefully I'll have the same luck with BF3.

[Apple Gooncha]

Did the same thing, and I'm 500+. :down: Oh well.

I've got something even better... I'm at a friends house, and I've been on my computer off and on for 2 hours, but 30 seconds before this goes on sale his internet gets screwy, 2 minutes later (not even a full 2 minutes into the deal) and I can't even be added to the waitlist. :mad:

[TheBigDave]

I guess the waitlist came through. I just went back to browse the deals page and Arkham City was available. Quickly snagged a copy. Woo Hoo!

[MrX]

They just added Resistance 3. Deal goes live in an hour and a half

[pinata242]

And dies in an hour and a half and a quarter of a minute.

*knocks on wood* I haven't had any trouble with the lightning deals yet.

[Fandango]

How do you check your position in the waitlist?

[TheBigDave]

How do you check your position in the waitlist?

When you get waitlisted, it'll tell your number. They told me I was #198 on the Arkham City waitlist and said my chances were "Good".

[TheBigDave]

Battlefield 3 is up now for $28. Based on the description, I was expecting a SOCOM game.

UPDATE - And it's gone in 90 seconds. Pac-Man Party and Zhu Zhu Pets 2 actually sold out first.

[pinata242]

ThinkGeek has the iCade for $60. I'm really tempted to get it.

[Liver&Onions]

I tried to get BF3 for shits and giggles. I ordered AS SOON AS IT WENT LIVE. THe counter was at 0%...as it sat there 'checking the deal' I watched it tick up to 100% claimed, and now am 500+ on the wait list. I didn't even want the game, but wanted to see how quick it would go. Brutal.

[Liver&Onions]

ThinkGeek has the iCade for $60. I'm really tempted to get it.

Nice. Didn't Chuck get one of those?

[TheBigDave]

Any guesses on the price for Resistance 3? It's currently $39.99. I'm hoping for around $20, but it'll probably be closer to $30.

[pinata242]

Nice. Didn't Chuck get one of those?

Yeah, but he went all grandpa on us and doesn't come around anymore.

[Liver&Onions]

Yeah, but he went all grandpa on us and doesn't come around anymore.

I think it was the Google Huddle that put him over the edge :(

[Obi-Wan Jabroni]

Anybody know what time lightning deals are supposed to start tomorrow? Not just for video games, but for everything? I'm getting ready to go to bed, but I'm wondering if they're putting anything up in the middle of the night that might be worth getting up for. I know there was last year. I can't seem to find anything with a schedule of tomorrow's deals though.

[Decker]

No lightning deals from 11 PM to 5 AM PST according to Amazon, at least by checking at their Music store BF Week Deals schedule.

[Fandango]

Any idea of what games will be on sale tomorrow, seems like every big game went up today already.

[Decker]

Any guesses on the price for Resistance 3? It's currently $39.99. I'm hoping for around $20, but it'll probably be closer to $30.

$27.99. Grabbed it though I still haven't played Resistance 2. Liked the idea of another game I can play with 3D glasses and a Move Sharpshooter. Super-Geek-style. Deal lasted more than a few seconds -- folks in the East must be in bed by now or in stores.

[terrycloth]

joined bf3 waitlist awhile ago bc it told me my chances were good...nothing then clicke on resistance as soon as it became available and it said added to cart but its not in there....first I failed at the stores and now amazon hates me.

[TheBigDave]

$28 for Resistance 3 was $8 more than I wanted to spend. I hear the multiplayer is already dead. So I'll wait until it hits $20.

[MrX]

Any idea of what games will be on sale tomorrow, seems like every big game went up today already.

MW3, Skyrim, and Uncharted 3 weren't up today so I would guess there's a good chance they show up.

[Decker]

You can tell these Black Friday deals are getting out of hand when the Wait List is full to buy a $15 stuffed bunny for $12.

[pinata242]

I sure hope the stuff I bought already aren't cheaper when they go back on sale.

[RocShemp]

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp;jsessionid=4C02067C347E0E1F39A422907447C3B7.bbolsp-app05-15?_dyncharset=ISO-8859-1&_dynSessConf=4157021196183153000&id=pcat17071&type=page&st=assassin%27s+creed+revelations&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960

Assassin's Creed - $35.

Thanks but best Buy refuses to ship to Puerto Rico. I'd have to go into the actual store to get it at that price and I'm stuck at work (not that I'd wanna go into any stores on Black Friday).

[TheBigDave]

Amazon might be adding some more video game lightning deals throughout the day.

They recently added Dead Island for 9:15AM EST and Need For Speed: The Run at 10:15AM EST.

[Anubis2005X]

Hmm, I thought infamous 2 was supposed to be a lightning deal today? Maybe it was yesterday. Oh well, I've already bought plenty to add to the backlog, haha...

[lordwow]

This is the first year I'm not buying anything at Amazon.

[edstein]

Same here. I don't like hovering over the computer all day waiting for a deal. Picked up everything I wanted at Best Buy online. No lines, free shipping (silver member), easy.

[Bill Geiger]

The NOON EST Xbox 360 Kinect 4GB Bundle seems to have just disappeared.

[mattysemo247]

The only game I picked up at Amazon so far was the PS3 bundle for $199. Picked up a ton of blu rays though. Also picked up Heavy Rain Director's Cut at K Mart for free with my $15 gaming coupon.

[dtcarson]

I think the only game I got from Amazon was EDF : IA, this morning (I happened to be up, shopping on Kohls.com). I had the PS3 bundle in my cart, but couldn't make myself do it (It was certainly a great price, but I just don't need another console right now). I had gotten Arkham and Skyrim earlier with the B1G150/Mastercard deal, which ended up being about the same price.
I didn't bite on the 50$ Skylanders earlier this week, but I got the mega pack from Best Buy. When I looked at TRU.com, not too long after midnight, the B1G1 things were OOS.

Okay what happened with that 3 month card? I clicked on it the second it became available to add to my cart and the system froze. Now I can't even see it listed as "Waitlist Full" or anything else.

[Michael Corvin]

Dammit. Just missed the Gears triple pack again. Fuck.

[mattysemo247]

FYI, Best Buy had about 50 of the 3 month cards when I was there earlier today. Said the limit was 6, but I only picked up 4. Now i'm good through 2014 :)

[aktick]

The NOON EST Xbox 360 Kinect 4GB Bundle seems to have just disappeared.

Figures that was the only thing all week I was going to try to get...and it just vanishes about the time it was supposed to go live. :lol:

[fujishig]

Figures that was the only thing all week I was going to try to get...and it just vanishes about the time it was supposed to go live. :lol:

went live at 12:15 PST

[Liver&Onions]

Man, I want to pull the trigger on Rayman Orgins, but at 33% off that's not a smoking deal...perhaps that's why it's the only thing that didn't sell out immediately? It's supposed to be a great platformer, with amazing visuals.

[Decker]

True, but it's also from Ubisoft, makers of Driver SF which was a great arcade driving came that came out on September 6th for $59.99 and which I bought yesterday for $19.99. I think it's wiser to wait on Rayman.

[redcat]

I had a different line of thinking. It looks like a great game, it's gotten brilliant reviews, and it was $20 off ten days after it was released. If the same drop had been offered on a March release, I would have jumped on it without a second thought, so I'm not bothered by the idea that it's not huge enough to be a good "Black Friday" deal. I'm sick of this day already anyway. I just hope my brain can handle the shift from playing Crysis 2 for the last week to this game.

[TheBigDave]

It looks like Amazon has added Uncharted 3 for 12:15AM EST.

[koops]

Yay for uncharted! No Infamous 2?

[K&AJones]

Well for the second time today Batman:A.C sold out in less than 30 seconds. I lost out the first time even though I hit the "order" button about 6-7 seconds in. I hit a bit faster and it almost kicked me out again but I got the game.Good Lord it's brutal getting a deal.

[Fandango]

Yay, was able to get Batman AC today after the disappointment yesterday. :hump:

[Sweet Baby James]

Yay, was able to get Batman AC today after the disappointment yesterday. :hump:



Ditto.:banana:

[Raul3]

So far only two games for me. Deus Ex (PC download) $20 from Amazon and Assassin's Creed Revelations (360) $35 from Bestbuy.com, pickup at store option.

[DVDGamer]

Well I got most of games I wanted to buy through Amazon. Even games I wasn't expecting to buy. I figured prices won't be this low for these games until after a year. Did they ever have the COD MW3 on one of their lightning deals? That's the only one I really want that I haven't bought. But since I got more than I wanted, that will have to wait if there's no sale on this game. Maybe Christmas deals and they'll get this to $28 as well.

[Shannon Nutt]

I was able to get both Batman: Arkham City and Madden 12 today for $28. Those were the two I really wanted! Now I can get some sleep. :)

I too had the "freeze" issue earlier in the day with the 3-month XBox Live membership card...my only guess is Amazon pulled that for some reason. It totally disappeared from the offer list. Not sure what happened there.

[auto]

Snagged Batman too! Yeah!

[Kedrix]

Ha, my wife finally got around to playing Arkham Asylum about a week ago, I'll wait for City ;). However, I am still pondering Driver which is about half an hour away at this point. I passed on it yesterday (but probably wouldn't have gotten it based on what I saw)...but been pondering it for the last day. I dunno. Oyie.

[RocShemp]

I just snagged Assassin's Creed Revelations on PS3 from Amazon! :banana:

[chess]

No games from Amazon for me this year...pretty disappointed in the whole lightning deal system.

I got Arkham City from Wal-Mart for $28, and it came bundled with the GOTY version of Arkham Asylum.

Also got Uncharted 3 at Wal-Mart for $30...got them to price match Best Buy.

[terrycloth]

i randomly decided to check amazon one last time before going to bed tonight and saw battlefield 3 up again but with fifteen minutes left. joined the wait list for shits a giggles since iv yet to get any lightning deals yet. the deal expired yet about 30 minutes after it expired it was offered to me for 28$ so im happy

[Sweet Baby James]

Drake is now mine.:)

[chuckd21]

If you guys have smart phones you really need to get the Amazon app. I haven't missed a lightning deal yet, and I'm not chained to my PC.

[TheBigDave]

Finally got Uncharted 3. So far I'm 4 for 4 on lightning deal waitlists. If you ever get waitlisted, keep checking.

[fumanstan]

Rocksmith is the only game I picked up. Most of the other games on sale I already had.

[gryffinmaster]

Since I couldn't get Arkham City anywhere, I only ended up with Heavy Rain: Director's Cut ... and a PS3 copy of Bioshock 2 as a gift.

[RocShemp]

Other than that one DLC mission and the move support, what does the new edition of Heavy Rain have that warrants calling it a director's cut?

[Autotelik]

Mainly some older titles for me, but with so many games to play, I didn't mind waiting for these prices:

God of War III $15
Mass Effect 2 $10
Dante's Inferno Divine Edition $10
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 $20
Borderlands GOTY $20
COD: World at War $8

[Liver&Onions]

Other than that one DLC mission and the move support, what does the new edition of Heavy Rain have that warrants calling it a director's cut?

Nothing.

[Liver&Onions]

Yay, another week worth of trying to get games and seeing them sell out in 20 seconds. http://t.co/hVIS23QY

[Xander]

Yeah, I didn't end up getting anything from Amazon except a couple of $5 Blu-rays. Weird.

I got a cheap TV, $30 Arkham City and $8 3-month Live card from Bestbuy.com.

I got the 250gb Xbox Holiday Bundle for $199 from the Microsoft store.

That was it for me.

[starseed1981]

Nabbed NFS: The Run at Best Buy and The 3rd Birthday from Amazon.

[Kedrix]

Classic Cyber Monday on Amazon. Doing the same game (Driver:SF) and then charging $10 more than your Black Friday price. But yet, the PS3 version is $20. WTF? :whofart:


Edit: And yet, both still got waitlisted in about a minute and a half.

[wlj]

I got:

Skyrim (360) for $51.00 free shipping at amazon
Rise of Nightmares (360) $29.99 free shipping at amazon
Dance Central 2 (360) $29.99 free shipping at amazon

I was fixing to pull the trigger on Dark Souls for $34.99, but the wife said I had spent enough :lol: I would probably be too consumed with Skyrim anyway.

[Michael Corvin]

So after all was said and done I only grabbed:

Gears of War: Triple Pack - $8
Bulletstorm: $8
Beyond Good & Evil: Free after Bing points.

[chuckd21]

It's $20 at Gamestop today.

[Decker]

BTW Check your emails. Amazon sent me a $5 credit for screwing up something with the Lightning Deals (I presume it was the $7.99 Live card, but who knows). It's good until December 8, I think.

[jdpatri]

So after all was said and done I only grabbed:

Gears of War: Triple Pack - $8

I bit on Goldeneye Reloaded at $30. Really liked the Wii version but wouldn't bother with online Wii so hopefully the replay and online are worth the upgrade.

Also picked up FIFA for $28... which I seem to do every year. Even though it always waits until I'm tired of NHL.

...and then the real bargain's started:

Bulletstorm - $8
Gears of War Triple - $8
Vanguish - $5
Deus Ex - $17

All games that tempted me upon release but at $5 and $8 I won't mind adding to the backlog.

Wait...How did you get Deus Ex for $17? You know what I'm not sure I want to know...nevermind ;). Mine already shipped. *sigh*

So far, I've bought four games during BF/CM.

Deus Ex (360) $29.99 (Amazon)
Dark Souls (360) $34.99 (Amazon)
Phantasy Star Collection (GBA) $5.76 (Cart Only thru Amazon Warehouse)
Splatterhouse (360) $9.37 (Like New Amazon Warehouse)

I think that's it for me. I've almost bought Driver: SF a couple of times but for some reason held out.

[Michael Corvin]

:lol: I keep doing the same with Metroid: Other M. Do I want/need to add it to the permanent collection for $5? So far, I haven't.

So the Xbox Kinect Bundle for 99$ has this in the contents:

Kinect Sensor
The Gunstringer Downloadable Token
Fruit Ninja Kinect Downloadable Token
Kinect Adventures Game
Power supply cable
Manual
Wireless Netwok Adapter

Is this a true wireless network adapter? Old Xbox's that were not connected to the internet, can they now connect wirelessly?

[Decker]

Yeah, they're wireless now. Ever since they went "slim" at 2010 E3.

[superdeluxe]

No I have a old Xbox, question is does the wireless network adapter come with the kinect bundle..or is that a misprint?

[jdpatri]

Well.... if you'd like to know about Deux Ex... it came from a UK site called zavvi.com. CAGers regularly vouch for this site for deals on international releases. That $17 price includes conversion and whatnot. You may not have been able to take advantage of it unless your bought it for the PS3. I know the PS3 is not-region specific but I don't know about the 360. Other deals include Tomb Raider Trilogy, Child of Eden, Prince of Persia Trilogy... some other stuff too.

Hmm, I might be down for a Gunstringer code. I just assumed they packaged in the game disc.

[Decker]

No that's a misprint. The Kinect console bundles have wireless, but the Kinect units by themselves do not.

Those bundles have wireless built into the consoles I thought..didn't know the xbox 360 bundles came with wireless network adapters

[Kedrix]

Just thought I would mention, look like the second Lego Harry Potter (360)will be on Amazon Lightining deal in about 45 minutes. If its $25 or under, I'll pull the trigger. $30 or above, I'll wait. The first one was an absolute blast minus a couple of bugs.

[pinata242]

It'll be $34.99 to match BB's CM deal on it.

[Decker]

That's what I meant when I said the console bundle has wireless.

[Kedrix]

Booooo. I can pass. :) Considering all Lego games hit $20 eventually (and well below in some cases), $35 is too much at this juncture.

You guys are comically miscommunicating. All Xbox 360 consoles now have wireless built in, bundle or not.

The Kinect unit is a stand-alone device that sometimes also comes in a bundle with a console. That device always has a wire and has nothing to do with wifi.

[pinata242]

Booooo. I can pass. :) Considering all Lego games hit $20 eventually (and well below in some cases), $35 is too much at this juncture.

$35 is borderline for me at this point. It won't be cheaper than that (I truly believe) before Christmas and it would make a great stocking stuffer for my younger daughter to go along with my elder's Dance Central 2 and my Disneyland Adventures (though that could go to the younger instead).

Yeah, right after that they also had Deus Ex Human Revolution - Augmented Edition for $24.99. Almost bit on that, but I have way too much to go through right now as it is.

just saw something weird on Amazon....the collector's edition is 51.99 and the regular version is 59.99...does that make sense?

I assume you mean 360

Check the used ones. Amazon warehouse deals has a like new copy of the collectors for 38.99, only 4 bucks more than the BF one and it's the CE with prime shipping that's a tremendous deal and warehouse deal stuff usually comes in excellent shape.

thank man. i had never heard of warehouse deals there. i sent the link to my wife, maybe she will have a heart a get it for me for xmas. she has already bought me Skyrim and Rise of Nightmares so the chances are slim.

I just got my CE from warehouse deals a couple days ago. In the description, it said it had a small mark on the case. I didn't see anything and it was still sealed and everything. Thought it was a great deal for $41.99 that I paid for it (also got a copy of MK CE for $35.99 with the book ends in great shape the same day). Warehouse Deals usually has some great stuff with good prices.
