Not feeling any of those, but I do recommend Crysis 2. Single player was a blast.

Not feeling any of those either since I know they probably be low enough for me to care. So Crysis 2 really has a great Single Player? That's the first time in a while I've heard a shooter has a great single player since so much focus traditionally is on multiplayer with those. What makes it so great out of curiousity? You have my interest peaked a little :)

piqued ;)

The story is a mess, but the gameplay makes up for it once it gets rolling. I mentioned it in the C2 thread but it is the game that Halo should have been when the Covenant battle came to Earth. Despite a lack of human bystanders, the cities and environments feel like they are lived in and real because of everything they manage to get on screen. One of the cool things (and drawbacks at the same time) is that you keep your suit powers/upgrades between playthroughs. Cool because you can work your way through normal without pulling your hair out on hard, then go back and tackle hard appropriately equipped. It's a drawback because once the suit is fully powered you can plow through Hard w/o a fuss. They could have balanced that a bit better.

I've done maybe an hour of MP and, well, it's not for me.

Agree w/ Corvin. The story is quite a mess and it takes a good 2-3 hours to actually enjoy the story... but surprisiingly, the game is addictive as all hell once you get going. I played maybe 2 hours of MP and much preferred the single player for a game of this genre.

Glad I sent mine in for $37 credit yesterday.

Lightning deal right now is the Turtle Beach Ear Force X31 Digital RF Wireless Game Audio + Xbox Live Chat for $60.

I don't own any headphones at all, and these would appear to be fairly decent and work with my Xbox, home theater, or iphone, so I think I'll buy it.

Looks like another day long video game goldbox tomorrow. Hopefully they will have some good deals like the PS3 deal last week.

Amazon is offering a $25 credit when you purchase a 3DS.

That's a good deal. I ordered one. I guess they email the 800 point code later -- I don't have that yet.

I must have missed this. Was there anything decent?

Showing up as $21.38 for me :(

I was getting a lot of points cards for a while when they had them for reduced prices--there was even some kind of unpublished restriction on how often you could buy them. But it looks like those aren't a deal any more. :(

Lego Harry Potter for $14.99 for all 3 systems, if you like that kind of thing. It went pretty quick. Nothing else that I can remember.

Wow, that deal didn't last long. I almost hesitated on it, too.

If someone is only looking for at least a potential deal on a 3 Month Live card, it seems that Best Buy will be offering them on their Midnight Online Sale tonight. No idea how much they'll be sold for, though.

Boy, that Best Buy Midnight Sale reminds me a lot of the clearance rack at Target, 2 months ago. ;)

If I pick the 3-month card and hover over the code option, it says that it's unavailable. :shrug:

Epic Mickey is 17.99 in the Gold Box DOTD. I know it's a flawed game, but I'm in for that price.
