I wanted this and Madden 09, when i woke up this morning and saw the prices weren't lowered i hauled ass to Walmart to try and get Madden 09 and they were all sold out. :mad: Did end up getting Dead Space so it's not a complete wash but damn what a clusterfuck.

Can you elaborate on that Live Cashback thing? It doesn't sound very familiar. Is it a separate card or through someone else or what?

thanks.

I think he might be referring to the 30% live discount that pops up on ebay some times.

Set up a free live.com account. Go there before you do any shopping and go thru their cashback links to get cash back from hundreds of stores. DD is 4% right now for example.

aktick 11-28-08 11:50 AM

Here's a thread about it - http://forum.dvdtalk.com/hot-deals/5...bay-again.html

And I should have mentioned, it's 30% cashback when buying w/PayPal via an eBay "Buy It Now."

The sale started at 3 am est and I checked at that time and everything was available at the discounted prices. Now it may just be luck if the deals come back.

How'd you get Metal Gear for that price? It's been showing full price for me all day.

how did you get the xbox for that price? i have been searching for a better deal than the occasional dell 15% off.

tlwizard 11-28-08 02:22 PM

MGS was $15 somewhere between 4-5am EST, I think.

Xbox came with DDR 3 which is a $70 value.

davidh777 11-28-08 02:31 PM

In for Lego Batman, and PS3 was $5 less than 360. Couldn't quite bite on Orange Box or Heavenly Sword.

Heavenly Sword
Tecmo Bowl: Kickoff

$35 well spent, since HS is still more than that alone.

Added:
PlayStation 3 Frontman Wireless Guitar

For $6.95 :up:. The only complaint IGN had was the price (which was $50), so this is an awesome deal. Now the GF and I can finally play guitar/bass.

I can concur on this...I ordered it at the $14.95 price along with Jak 3 for $9.95 and the six Bond Blu-rays (when they were still 23.99 apiece except for the $17.99 Dr No)....I placed this order at around 5:15am EST...

Unfortunately though (or fortunately, depending on how you want to look at it), Amazon dropped the price of four of the remaining five Bond's to either 17.99 or $17.49 sometime later in the day....I saw it and found I could reorder them for 47.44 total which would save an additional $25.50 compared to before (72.94)....so I cancelled the Bonds, BUT then I was two cents short for Super Saver shipping....and it was going to be an additional $5.89 or whatever now for standard shipping....so I said bye-bye to the MGS collection...alas, it was back to 27.99 at that point, sacrificed to the deal gods for a larger savings!
(I did re-order Jak 3 still at 9.95 with the Bonds though! Also had $35 in gift certificates, so I ended up with six Blus and the game for 22.39!!)

Thanks! I just noticed Far Cry 2's PS3 price and was in the process of ordering it when I saw your post. We'll see what happens.

Deal appears to be dead. I hope a few people from here got in on this beforehand.

Trevor 11-29-08 06:23 AM

^ Code expired now.

lordwow 11-29-08 07:02 AM

I grabbed Force Unleashed which dropped to $30 this morning and MLB 2k8 which dropped to $10.

Quake1028 11-29-08 10:55 AM

Sonic Unleashed is the DotD

$25.95 for 360
$29.95 for Wii

Use code unleash5 to get $5 off at checkout. $20.95 shipped for the 360 version is tempting.

WMAangel 11-29-08 02:03 PM

Thanks for the code! Just snagged the Wii Sonic for $24.95 shipped!

mrglass 11-29-08 03:11 PM

I'm glad I waffled on picking up The Bigs for $19.95 yesterday as it's $9.95 now. Couldn't resist pulling the trigger for that price.
