79$ for 12 months and a newish game.

Funny, those games don't look newish.

Really? Outside of MW2 all have been released in the past 3 months.

Damn, I thought I'd get called out for saying "newish" twice, not for posting a lukewarm deal in direct response to a request.

Sorry. There's a very old, semi anti-semitic phrase that goes "Funny, he doesn't look Jewish". My post was a pun on that (and spurred on by the twice refrain of "newish"). By the way, that's why John Candy remarks "Funny, she doesn't look Druish" when finding out they were escorting a Druid princess in Space Balls. Obviously, a joke that requires this much explanation is a total dud, but I felt I had to explain myself as the original poster thought I was slamming his deal. That was not the case.

I got your joke Decker. I even chuckled a little.

The guys that bought this a couple days ago are going to be pissed:

For a limited time, buy Assassin's Creed Brotherhood for Xbox 360 or PS3 and get a $20 promotional credit.

So you pay $50 and get a $20 credit. For $30, I might bite on this one.

Go buy it if you don't own it. The single player is fun and has a good sandbox feel. The multiplayer is the most creative thing I have seen in that arena in a long time.

fuck. you prick. i need a blu-ray player for my bedroom. i have about $100 in credit there. the only downside is that you can't use a universal remote unless you have that USB dongle, right?

i see you can get them pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/BluWave-Infrar.../dp/B000R5H7KE

shit. i think i'm gonna bite on this. doh!

fuck. i don't think the wife will approve of this b/c i was planning on buying a regular blu ray player for the bedroom. maybe i'll just move my existing one in there and use the ps3 now. only downside is i wanted something with netflix streaming in the bedroom for the wife and kid. i wouldn't have that if i moved my old blu-ray player in there. ahhhh shit. i'm gonna pull the trigger. hope the wife doesn't murder me.

:lol: Sorry (or you're welcome) Deftones. I've considered pulling the trigger on this myself, and I already own a PS3.

It's Christmas, how about a PS3 for every room...
Last year was a HDTV in every room wasn't it??

Supermallet 12-17-10 03:05 PM

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 
Thing is, if I get another PS3, I'll have four Blu-ray players for a house with two TV's (PS3 in the living room, Samsung in my bedroom, and got a Panasonic for free when I bought my current bedroom TV).

And that just seem gluttonous.

Should I get a regular blu-ray player or this PS3 deal for my first blu-ray player? I have no interest in playing PS3 games.

Basically, are there better blu-ray players out there for less than the cost of a PS3, even with the $100 Amazon credit?

If you have a lot of media on your computer, you can use the PS3 to stream from that or you can use the PS3 as its own media center as well. The netflix streaming works really well from what I have been told. Just some other things to consider if you are on the fence.

Well, that's partly why we picked up the Boxee Box.
