Kinda both Amazon and games deals related:

$20 Amazon gift card for $10: http://livingsocial.com/deals/21336?...64&rpi=4027064

Verified through various deals websites. Can be used for anything, but I'm thinking points!

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I got it for $29.99 and promptly sent it back. Just not as fun as it used to be back in the day.

$249? Good job, Nintendo. More than a Wii. Almost as much as a PS3/360.

Pass.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

That is more than a 360. :lol:

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

3DS? 3 Dumb Shits? That is a lot of cash for a handheld.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Got this chart off Joystiq - considering what the 3DS promises to do (and considering how many people in this country actually enjoy the concept of 3D...even though I don't understand it), I'm sure it'll do just fine. The DSi is $170...it's not that much more.

YEAR SYSTEM NAME PRICE *ADJ. PRICE
(1989) Game Boy (Nintendo) $90 $153
(1989) Atari Lynx $190 $324

Argh... first my Little Big Planet 2 LE entered shipping state before I could cancel it to take advantage of the $20 credit on the regular edition, and now it's part of the B2G1F sale?

edited to add: well, I see in my email that they did give me .45 on a preorder price match guarantee. Whee!

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I rather have a Turbo Express rather than a 3ds. But that's just me.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

My wife called me to tell me about this deal.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Heck, buy 10 of those and you've almost paid off that 3DS.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

You can only order one. There are some referral links in some other websites so you can get it for $5. ($20 GC for $5!!!!).

Of course that deal has been in all the major deals websites, so I can expect a few issues with it. I still ordered one, I paid $10.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Using different emails, I ordered 4.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Same. I hope it works and it's not some scam where I now belong to the Living Social club that costs me $11/month to get exclusive invitations to super deals across the web.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Nah. Living Social's legit. I think they're just desperate to catch up with Groupon.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

When did this place turn into CAG?

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Got this from PSPMinis.com. Hot Shot Shorties (4 mini game collections) are $4.99 each at Amazon, but they also have the bundle (all 4 individual releases) for $4.99. On PSN they are $4.99 individual or $14.99 for the bundle, so I don't know if Amazon is running a sale or it's a pricing error.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

So, no one has received the Amazon GCs from LivingSocial yet, right? I mean an update of the order or something.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

They just said on Twitter that they've started sending the codes out... but there were more than 1.3 million purchased. So it's taking awhile to send them all.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I got my code this morning. Unfortunately I only got 1 of the 4 I signed up for but it's still a great deal.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

got mine late last night, already used it

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

There's a lot of fail in the $250 and up range. Poor 3DS.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

Same for me.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I bought two with two different credit cards. Got them both, so I guess that was the key.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I'd also think they were looking out for similar names/addresses of people signing up for the deal from the same referrer link, since otherwise that opens it up to rampant fraud (since I think the referrer gets the card for free with every three referrals).

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I'm convinced it was the referrer link within the same household. I didn't even think about getting the thing for free. I just wanted an easy link to the page when I signed in from my wife's email. I used different cards.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .
 

I don't think that's it. I signed up for it myself, and then used my referral link to sign up my wife. Same address, different credit card number. We both got the code.
