^You mean 2

Actually, I meant 3. I think it has as good a chance as New Vegas being the deal.

Mass Effect 3?! Sweet! I'll buy two!

9am might be Mass Effect 2
11 am could be the Dragon Age: Awakening release.

I don't think they would put items in the gold box that aren't released yet, would they?

I don't think I've ever seen a pre-order in the Lightning Deals.

I got an email from Amazon by subscribing to the Lightening Deals email list. It has all the deals of the day listed. I was right on my 9am and 11am guess.

Best guesses from CAG, they sound pretty reasonable:

Lighting Deals Schedule
All times PST - Best guesses below
6 AM - Battlefield Bad Company 2 (or 1)
9 AM - Mass Effect 2 (or 1)
11 AM - Dragon Age Origins: Awakenings
2 PM - Rock Band Guitar Controller
4 PM - Alien vs. Predator
6 PM - Controller charging accesory
8 PM - Dragon Ball: Raging Blast

Damn, today might be an expensive day if the deals on ME2 and DAO Awakenings are good. Certainly wouldn't mind having a second RB guitar either.

The first Lightning Deal is:

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - $46.49

I have a feeling the other sale prices will be equally unimpressive.

Might I suggest the GH5 deal for $38.99 at Amazon

What was your all's consensus on this? I'm a sucker for the film franchises, and loved the old PC game.
Nice deal, but think I already own 2 or 3 guitars, can't really justify another even if it would be only the 2nd wireless one.

I would happily get AvP if it hit the $20 range, but it won't.

Debating seriously on this one. Have yet to play ME1, but still...

HOLY SHIT! Scott, how did you put Amazon inside DVD Talk!? BTW, it's not working and I can't add it to my cart...

Those links aren't working, Scott and I want to order ME2 before it sells out. Help?

Cool, thanks!

Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) - $33.54

Which PC game, the one by Rebellion or AVP2 by Monolith?

If the latter, then you will most likely be disappointed with AVP (360).

I surely was! My biggest gripe with it was they basically forced the player to engage in melee fighting. I can accept that if I was playing as the Alien, maybe even the Pred however there is NO way a Marine is going to enter into a melee with those two! Almost every encounter with an Alien during the first Marine mission ended up with me hitting it with my weapon or trying to block/counter the Alien's claws with my weapon. This was after I emptied almost an entire AR clip into one Alien who still didn't die. It got old real quick for me.

Also, the MP experience didn't live up to how I remembered it in AVP2. Can't really say why, maybe because I was using the controller vs the mouse/KB. The Alien controls also felt awkward; hard to navigate from floor to walls to ceiling, etc.

I'm so proud of ourselves.

What's the deal with DA:OA? Is it like DA:O Chapter 2? I always though Awakenings was just a DLC pack. Or is this a combo release that replaces the original DA:O?

Thanks. Guess it was the original by Rebellion. It was many years ago. Don't remember much about it, other than a few friends and I networked our PCs together every Monday and it was our favorite game for a couple months.

I need to pass on it either way I guess. Still haven't opened the two Bioshocks I bought last month....

Very underwhelming since I have all those games above that I wanted. I may pick up the charging kit if it's a good deal though.

I would like to know as well. I have wanted to pick up the original.
