so I have some video game promotional credit that I don't what to use on....it just showed up in my account...there is 20 bucks in there, and I know 10 of it is for an online 12 month card that I never used...but the other 10 I have no idea...it showed up recently...and it does not apply to anything I try to buy...any ideas?

a video game?

lol...that is the first thing I tried it on...nope...I really have no idea what it is for...I emailed customer service and they wrote back some sort of automatic response about credits...I guess I will have to call and ask...

How do you get to the screen that shows all your digital points balances? I've never been able to figure out how to see my amount in video games credits from previous pre-orders.

Did you try using it on a video game download? I have $10 credit that can be used on game downloads but not on physical video games.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (360) - $34.95
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3) - $44.95

All lightning deals today are video games. Right now, Fear 3 for $19.99 on all platforms.

Thanks for posting that. I was going to do it earlier but didn't get a chance.

Here's the anticipated lineup:

The great price on FEAR 3 gives me hope that Mortal Kombat will also get a good deal.

Damn!! I missed out on Fear 3 for $20!

GTA Complete was $20.99 for both consoles, but it sold out in 20 minutes.

Yeah, so far the pricing on the first two were pretty good. I'm hoping on low prices for MK and maybe NMH since I never picked up the second one on the Wii.

I sat with it in my cart and browsed Metacritic reviews. It looks like a good game and is a great deal a mere three months after launch, but in the end I couldn't pull the trigger. It's Gears 3 day, RAGE hits in 2 weeks and then Batman and Uncharted 3 after that. I knew I wasn't going to get to it in any reasonable amount of time.

I checked Amazon to see what Cyberbike Magnetic Edition. It's an Exercycle and game. Kind of cool, perhaps -- I bet my mom would like it. The deal isn't for another two hours and they show 20(!) units in stock. That's one way to hedge your bets on a sell-out, I guess.

Fuck, I would have been all over that GTA IV Complete...neither of the other remaining deals interest me.

I snagged the GTA IV Complete and still had a little bit left over after trading in GTA IV and the "Episodes" release. Ehh, I figured for it being essentially free, I might as well save on shelf space, ha...

That was a great call, I should have thought of that since I have it separated as well. Nice job.

I'm sure it'll be $20 before too long, but Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is currently $25 on both console formats.

I have said it many times, but I will repeat.

Best multiplayer experience in this generation.

Wow really? I'm going to have to play the multiplayer now even though I haven't played Assassins Creed before.

I can't say I agree with that. It might be the most original multiplayer concept this generation, but it's ruined by the sheer number of people who play it wrong (rooftop runners etc.). Plus, the matchmaking system is absolutely terrible.

I enjoyed it for a few days, but it got old really fast.

I agree rooftop running is super irritating and breaks the spirit of the game... however I feel like the game balances that by making those kills worth so little. I would typically only get two perfectly stealthed kills a round for 700-800 points each. This would almost always put me in the top two if not #1.

I'm with miyu. Playing the game the right way will almost always give good results. And the multiplayer is indeed awesome. It's so different from all of the other MP modes out there.

I've never hit a level cap in any Call of Duty game, Halo game, Gears of War game, or any other MP mode. But I hit level 50 in Assassin's Creed Brotherhood.

While every game is way more fun played with friends... Brotherhood is phenomenal when played with a party. Everyone is chatting and joking (because it isn't a team based game so you don't need to team talk strategy) and then you will notice someone gets silent... because they are concentrating on their prey getting close. So you will have a moment of silence and then an outburst of laughing/cursing/yelling as someone gets assassinated or narrowly avoids being assassinated.

Having skills like poison where you surreptitiously jab someone with a needle and they don't find out their death is imminent until 15 seconds later is probably one of the best multiplayer experiences I have ever had. Ever.

It isn't perfect though. Matchmaking is a real pain and is hopefully fixed for the next game. There is no ability to prestige so when you hit the level cap there isn't much drive to keep gaining XP.

All that being said - I will extend an open invitation. If anyone wants to play multiplayer Brotherhood I will happily set up a weekend night sometime and talk someone through how to play the multiplayer and then play hours of the game.

You just need a mic, gamertag, and be willing to talk some smack. I also recommend cracking open a beer or two!

toys r us is giving a $25 gift card with x-men destiny, but i've yet to see a review of destiny. that's not a good sign at all.

I never tried the multiplayer in Brotherhood either, but I’d be up for giving it a try one night. Sounds different.
