Doesn't really require any specific time. If two or more people from the club are on at the same time, you can play a game. Doesn't hurt to join so if you want to jump in an EASHL game, you're already set up. We're not playing each other, just random other clubs playing at the same time. No set requirements. No schedule.

Just send a request to join and I'll approve.

I agree, and they should change their avatar to a pic of said backlog.

"I have Madden 96 still shrink wrapped, but $39.99 for Madden 11 was just too good to pass on. Thanks OP!!!1111one"

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

Fable 3 is offering $20 GC for both the normal edition and collector's edition. Is that bonus separate for each item? Meaning, if I order a copy of the normal edition and the collector's edition, will I get two $20 credits?

I know Walmart does this, but wondering if anyone had experience with Amazon doing this.

Guess I missed this reply. Yeah, you can search for our DVDTalk club and then just send a request to join the team.

Unless I'm missing something (and I just checked), only the normal edition is listed as having the discount. CE doesn't have it. Pretty standard practice, and the reason I haven't bought any CEs from Amazon.

You're missing something.

In answer to the previous question, I think both $20 credits would apply. If for some reason they didn't you could call them after the items ship and they would almost certainly issue you the other one.

Huh...so they buried it further down on the page rather than in the "Bonus Offer" box near the top, where they usually list the, um, bonus offers. That's curious, but good to know.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

At first Amazon only had the $20 apply to the Standard edition of Fable 3, after Walmart started offering the E-$20 for both, then Amazon caved in to give it to both. Probably in the rush of matching, they probably put it in at a weird place. I still haven't pre-ordered mine, I'm not sure what's keeping me. (I pre-ordered Fable II LE) I'll probably decide this week.

Re: Amazon Video Game Deal Thread .

I was tempted by World at War as a lightning deal for 18.99, but I noticed the non-Platinum Hits version is 19.99. So not a great deal.

I guess it was

And clearing out old stock before Black Ops was probably smart of them

11ET/8PT - Follow the continuing combat adventures of misfits of the US Army's Company B Bad Company 2

1ET/10PT - It's hard to be a Gangster. Mafia II

3ET/12PT - Take on the role of the original Big Daddy. Bioshock 2

6ET/3PT - From the creative minds behind FINAL FANTASY VII and FINAL FANTASY X A Final Fantasy game don't know don't follow it.

8ET/5PT - Top of the line headset for all your gaming needs. Maybe turtle beach one or x31

8ET/6PT - Trolling for a great deal? Look no further... Harry Potter????

11ET/8PT - Take to the air like no other game. Tough one The tricky answer is NBA 2k11, but probably JC2 or h.a.w.x 2

The first deal/"different kind of shooter" is Cabela's North American Adventures 2011 for $26.99. No thanks.

Seriously?? WTF?? My guess is less than 10% of those get sold. I would have been all over Borderlands at a decent price though.
