Battlefield: Bad Company [Gold Edition] (360) - $37.98 (37% off)

Tales of Vesperia [Premium Edition] (360) - $49.98 (29% off)

Darn it, I just ordered Vesperia for 55 bucks last week from amazon. I swear, since they implemented their new policy of not pricematching themselves after shipping product, I've seen this happen a lot...

Tomorrow is PS3/Blu-ray day for Gold Box/Lightning Deals. Copied from the HD Digest forums:

Tomb Raider's already $46.99 on Amazon. Wonder how low they'll go.

Come on? How did you ever figure out they were talking about Tomb Raider: Underworld?

No tombs were harmed in the raiding of this underworld
Mamma mia, here I go again / My my, how can I resist you?
Watch Spidey in high-def

They're not even trying now.

Maybe they're referring to ...

Thanks. I was planning on saving my most recent Amazon Visa GC - and waiting on the game since I have other stuff to replay still - but for $15 after free shipping, I'm not complaining.

It'll be interesting to see what the deals are tomorrow on the PS3, although I feel a bit burned buying my Christmas gifts early this year, as every game that I've bought from Amazon has been heavily discounted a couple weeks later (e.g. Animal Crossing, Rayman Rabbids 3). I was denied a refund even less than 2 weeks after ordering.

Gold Box Deal of the Day (All day)

Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3) -- Gold Box Price: $39.98 (33% off)

$29.98 After $10 coupon code "MSTORM10"

Sold. I wasn't sure about picking this up, but I start my two week Christmas vacation tomorrow, and this will be a great way to unwind. Thanks for the coupon tip.


Edit: Well, the coupon has expired, so the deal is actually $39.98. But I did use a previous $10 coupon from Prince of Persia to knock it down $10.

Well shit, that coupon didn't last long

First deal today:

PES 2009 Pro-Evolution Soccer for PlayStation 3 - $29.98

They have a new clue for this one: WWII shooter on the Highway to Hell.

Hmmm...

Anyone can name all the games based on the clues?

I think that this is likely...

10 AM PST - WWII shooter on the Highway to Hell (Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway PS3)
11 AM PST - 60% off these classic stop-motion monster movies in high-def (Ray Harryhausen Collection BD - c. $43)
12 PM PST - No tombs were harmed in the raiding of this underworld. (Tomb Raider: Underworld PS3)
1 PM PST - Mamma mia, here I go again My my, how can I resist you? (Mamma Mia! BD)
2 PM PST - Iceland has research facilities? (Resistance 2 PS3)
3 PM PST - Watch Spidey in high-def (Spiderman Trilogy BD)
4PM PST - Keep the kids entertained in high-def (Wall•E BD)
5 PM PST - Kage bunshin no jutsu! (Naruto Ultimate Ninja: Storm PS3)

That's great. Will have to watch out if Iceland has research facilities

I was thinking the kids movie might be Kung-Fu Panda.

I'm changing what I said... I recently discovered this...



http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B001GXI2N2/

Buy a PS3 game (from a select few), a Sony Blu-ray movie, and get a PS3 Blu-ray remote free - http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?docId=1000320171

Games include the currently $40 Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, LBP, and Resistance 2 (which will be $40 later). There are a few decent ~$13-16 movie to choose from. Obviously only a deal if you want the remote.

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway was $10.

Reviews are average, but since I'm still frustrated at missing Warhawk and Ridge Racer 7 at that price, I picked one up.

Trevor do you want Warhawk for $10+shipping? It's still sealed.
