Not including Little Big Planet 2 or Mass Effect = Pass! I'll head to Best Buy instead where I can get both of those and another title. Why just half ass match a deal Amazon? Go all out. However, I do have this feeling that they will throw those titles in there once they ship out all of the pre-orders.

Anybody have opinions on all the Turtle Beach headsets going to be on sale today? I have my eyes on the X41 if the deal is good enough (currently $170).

I have the PX21 and I love it. Great for late night gaming when the wife's in bed. I think I got it in a gold box a few months ago. A wireless version would be great.

Yeah but whose going to spend $60 on a $12 game anyway? ;)

I really liked me X31 up until last week when they suddenly stopped working right and now just screech in my ears. Now I'm a little undecided....

I love my X41s...picked them up at amazon when they were 139...so that should be the price you are looking for....

The X11 and PX21 were both 30% off retail. That means the X41 should come in right at $139.99 as well.

Yeah, they've done that before. I wanted Black Ops, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood and Need for Speed with a little bit of Amazon savings. Instead it looks like I'll just go to Best Buy. Lame.

I will likely go in to day and pick up LBP2 and Mass Effect 2 and grab a copy of the EA Sports Active 2 which I just bought this weekend for my wife. That will be going back, of course, with the old receipt. Had I known about the sale prior to I would have just waited.

I'll consider it for shits and giggles when it hits 19.99 or less.

They had these both with $20 credit...a better deal all around.

Not really considering the 20 dollar credit is for the next game you purchase and I think you can only use one credit per new title purchased. However, you do save on tax and a little off the top of retail. Also, Amazon's titles are a little lacking in the new release department.

Both of those titles are now included in the sale.

On LBP2 and ME2, the $20 gift certificate promotion can be used on just about anything sold at Amazon, not just video games.

:hscratch: Amazon carries everything any B&M store has, plus quite a bit more.

The first day of the sale they excluded the games that I was wanting to pickup as part of the sale. Now, they are part of the sale but I've already bought them elsewhere like many who want games on their street day. However, I don't feel too bad as I bought three titles I wanted for an average of 40 plus tax each. I could have bought two titles from Amazon for around 55 each with a twenty dollar credit per title meaning I would likely only be out a few bucks difference. :)
