Damn, let me go cancel my order for Gears.

spainlinx0 06-04-08 12:20 PM

Damn, past the point of cancelling. That was fast.

Groucho 06-04-08 12:22 PM

Pretty stupid -- my order ships June 9th and I can't cancel it?

Oh well, the two-disc edition of Gears sounds okay, but this is still five dollars less.

pinata242 06-04-08 12:35 PM

I believe all the content on that 2-disc set is available free on the marketplace anyway. At least, that's what I read in the GoW2 thread.

Some kind of PS3 cables in the 2 p.m. lightning deal

eatntae 06-04-08 01:23 PM

spainlinx0 and Groucho, just call Amazon to cancel your orders. I was able to do that a couple of weeks back with WiiFit even though the website wouldn't let me cancel. I just told them I could get it much sooner locally rather than waiting for them to ship it.

It was HDMI and USB cable combo for $40

Today's deal: XBox 360 Hard Drive 120GB for $134.00 (25% off) or 20G for $64.99 (28% off) Link

pinata242 06-09-08 09:24 AM

^ Isn't it just sad that we get excited when the an 360 HDD is only just above $1/gb? That pricing needs to be fixed from the top.

UncleGramps 06-09-08 09:27 AM

Hmm...to buy the 120 GB HDD now, or wait for an eventual price drop? Tough call, but I'm getting low on hard drive space with my 20 GB.

Mok 06-09-08 10:46 AM

This wouldn't be to bad a deal if I didn't have to pay tax.

I'm debating that too.

Yep, it certainly blows for us. Makes my Prime savings virtually worthless now :(

Don't you need a cable to move all your stuff from the 20 GB to the 120GB? And does this affect Live games because of DRM?

The retail one comes with a transfer cable.

Games and DLC are tied to the console and gamertag. The hard drive shouldn't be a factor.

UncleGramps 06-09-08 03:11 PM

I couldn't resist. With all of my Rock Band DLC and XBLA games, space is running low, and an extra 100 GB would really be nice. Too bad MS won't let you swap in a standard HDD like with the PS3. Their expensive proprietary drives are poopski. :(

fujishig 06-09-08 03:23 PM

While preordering Etrian 2, I noticed that Shiren the Wanderer for Nintendo DS is down to 22 bucks at amazon...

Same here. Damn RB download content.

Michael Corvin 06-09-08 06:45 PM

Not me, for a couple of reasons. First, the thing has to SRP under $99 before I'll bite and even then I'd have to find it on sale or a deal with a coupon. Second, we're potentially already halfway through the 360's lifespan and $135+ investment at this point is kinda pointless, IMO.

Unless you're rich bitch! Sprinkle some diamonds on it!

fumanstan 06-09-08 06:51 PM

If this was a month ago, i probably would have jumped on it. But I ended up putting that extra cash towards some new shoes and don't really have the extra money for this.

I really need the space though. That download of Ninja Gaiden Black is really hurtin (6 GB!)

Goldberg74 06-10-08 09:52 AM

Today's deal: The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian for the 360/PS3 @ $25.99 (57%-48% off) Link
