Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
Not sure if this should go here or in the XBLA thread, but there's a decent deal going on with arcade titles purchased from Amazon. They're running that promotion where you get a $5 MP3 Store credit with every purchase. Since I already spend about $20/month on their MP3s, I ordered four XBLA games to get $20 in credit. I never received any emails with my promo codes though, so I called customer service. The rep says the system isn't set up to automatically generate promo codes for XBLA games, but that they do qualify, so they're just giving people the appropriate amount of store credit instead. Since their system isn't working automatically, you have to call and deal with customer service, but you basically get $5 back for each XBLA title you buy.

That's correct. I bought Peggle, The Maw, Puzzle Quest and Worms. No MP3 credits showed up in my account, so I called customer service. The rep told me about the problem with XBLA games and explained that they do still qualify, then put a $20 Amazon credit in my account. I used it towards a preorder of MUA2.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
I couldn't get the credit to work more than once. Got $5 for the PS3 triggers I bought, but not for three copies of Rock Band 2 I purchased on behalf of my office employees. I had to call twice and get transferred a couple of times. Eventually they just gave me a $25 credit I used with the ECA to get the next R & C game for $26. Nice, but still I wonder why this promotion is having such a hard time being implemented. XBLA downloads are one thing, freaking RB2 bundles are something else.

How does the ECA work? I work for the government and have a .mil e-mail, but I do NOT want to get e-mail from ECA to my work account. Can I change my e-mail or request to send to an alternate?

Thanks for the heads-up. I was disappointed I missed this deal the first time (with the $10 credit). I was going to wait for both GH5 and GH: VH to hit $25, but this accomplishes that day one.

Too bad it's not Smash Hits for free, I'd jump on that. I really am not interested in Van Halen.

I've never gotten into the Guitar Hero, but this is tempting, with Muse's Plug-in Baby on there. I'm tempted to give it a go just to "play" that riff.

Yeah, it was announced by HarmonixSean via Twitter and it replaces http://www.rockband99.com from a few weeks ago.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
The drums are quieter, the kick pedal has metal on top and doesn't slip as much. The guitar isn't a whole lot better, but from what I hear it has less of a chance to be broken when you take it out of the box. The mic is the same pretty much.
Oh, and the drums are wireless on RB2, it is wired on RB1
so for 20 bucks you would honestly be better off getting a RB2 set. Sure you won't get RB1 or the track packs, but the wireless is nice on the drums

And the RB2 drums have the expansion ports for cymbals.
AND the RB2 guitar has the socket for the foot pedal to engage overdrive with a stomp, if I'm not mistaken.
