Personally I usually buy something I'm on the fence about with "free" money.

Yeah, I bet if I had free money, I'd probably use it on something. But that's just me.

You guys are silly. You make it sound like I'm not going to use it. Knowing the specifics of the deadline is why I asked. I have things in mind but, as I said, I still want to maximize my value. I used the term "free" because I don't consider promo codes, gift cards, reward certificates, etc as magical currency. I still treat the stuff as hard-earned cash and want to make sure it's used as wisely as possible.

Maybe you should contact Amazon just to be safe

You need to stop thinking so much because it's starting to take away from the time you should be using to spend free money.

You should see if you can put it towards next year's ECA fee

Amazon currently has Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition for $59.00. Sadly there's no $10 off future video game purchase like the regular edition has, which is $59.99.

Deal of the Day is Batman... $35 for regular edition, $60 for the CE. I finally caved and picked this up. With it being on everyone's GOTY list, it's a must for me.

You won't be disappointed. It's an excellent game. Stick with the regular version. Doubt you need the flimsy plastic Batarang of the CE. That box is the size of a voilin case.

I was really tempted to get the CE too, thanks for making me feel better about not getting it

I'm a big Batman fan and enjoyed the demo, I just couldn't convince myself to buy it when I was in the middle of other games. $35 is too hard to pass up for me.

xbox 360 12 month card is $39.96. Not sure if thats a good deal or not.

Assassin's Creed II for 38.78

I had to get Assassin's Creed, even though I still haven't beaten the first game yet. But at that price it was a steal.

Any idea what the other games being selected today are? I know right now Brutal Legend is already down to $40 but I'm still holding off on that one and hoping maybe Uncharted 2 gets made a deal today.

Here's the guesses from CAG (all PS3 games):

Grand Theft Auto IV - 6 AM PST / 9 AM EST
Infamous - 9 AM PST / 12 AM EST
WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 - 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST
Star Wars the Clone Wars: Republic Heroes - 1 PM PST / 3 PM EST
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 3 PM PST / 6 PM EST
Saw - 5 PM PST / 8 PM EST
Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition - 7 PM PST / 10 PM EST

Nothing for me, but Infamous is likely a no-brainer for probably $30.

I didn't like the first AC, but I'm kind of tempted. Did they change the combat at all?

Yeah all the reviews for AS II say whatever problems were in the first game they've been fixed with the sequel and then some.

I was just going to post this myself. Someone put it up on the Amazon comment thread for the games as well.

Already have Infamous (as I'm sure others do). Only one here I'd be remotely tempted by would be Star Wars but that would depend on the price just out of curiosity.

I still can't believe yesterdays Modern Warfare 2 Hardened edition for the 360 did not sell out at $47.99

I canceled my backordered copy of MW2 from Microsoft and spent the extra $6 or $7 to upgrade to the hardened edition.

Considering it broke records for units sold, it makes sense that it didn't sell out. There aren't many people left that don't have it.

I've been holding out. Guess I should have looked more closely at this deal.

Infamous 51% claimed after five minutes can't decide....

Go for it. It's a great game. You could always sell it for that if you don't like it.

Infamous is one of my top 5 PS3 games of this year.
