haha, I love their hint for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

"Trick or Treat. Get this ghostly game a month before Halloween."

That just screams stealth 3rd person army game

I am waiting for Max Payne 3 to hit $10 before I add it to my "backlog" of games that will never be opened or played...

*looks at giant stack near desk*, yep I know exactly how you feel. I might bite on this one at $15....but hopefully I'm smart enough to wait for it to go ultra cheap. Hopefully...

Wow, $25 ($10+$15) for a year of Xbox live is a great deal. I've never seen it that low before.

Deftones 09-29-12 09:01 AM

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 
yeah, $25+ tax is a damn good deal. I'll have to check that out.

Decker 09-29-12 10:21 AM

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread
 
Oops. Did a cut & paste from CAG and it was a typo. Supposed to be $15 off the subscription. I fixed it now. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up. I think it sucks that they would come out with coupons you have to pay extra to get, though if you needed both a Live subscription and a PS Plus subscription, it might still be worth it.

bah. that sucks. so net savings is only $5. good deal! :lol:

Prices dropped today at Best Buy on Mass Effect 3 and Lollipop Chainsaw, making them $10 and $20 respectively after the coupon. Even the CE of ME3 is $10 a/c, but they only have that for the PS3 and I think keeping the games on one console is more important than getting a steelbook case.
Sadly, Prototype 2 didn't drop today and remains $20 a/c. I might still pick it up though. Coupons are good until 10/6.

Damn, I want Lollipop Chainsaw for 20. Not having a Best Buy anywhere near me sucks sometimes.

Newegg has another 12 dollar off code on 49.99 or up preorders...

I have over 20 games preordered from newegg at this point. They are smoking amazon right now. The only downside is you don't get the game the day it comes out, but so far I have received every game on Wednesday...

You could just get another magazine and buy both the 360 and ps3 version of ME3. That was my original plan but the CE isn't in stock anywhere near me.

Are the Best Buy coupons reusable? It was returned to me, not sure if by mistake. I checked another magazine though and noted coupons seem to have different series numbers.

If they give you a coupon back it should scan again.

If anyone is looking to get rid of consoles, gamestop is currently giving double trade in credit. I traded in my old fat 360 for $110 credit. I figure $110 for my 4 year old console is pretty good. I am still debating if I want to dump my 160gb slim ps3 for $190 credit.

$190 is the most you are likely to get for it unless the craigslist buyers in your area are overly generous. I would also expect console base values to drop as this promotion goes on.

Yeah, I am just not sure if I want to get rid of it. My original thought was to sell it now and hope for a good black friday deal on the new slim. I haven't turned my ps3 on in a few months so I guess I should get rid of it and wait for a deal.

Thanks, and you're totally right. I used to chain those amazon $10 credits over & over, and now all they offer is some minor DLC? No thanks. Just preordered Crysis 3 and Dead Space 3. Already had Halo 4 & Black Ops 2 preordered. I even have Prime, but I'd rather wait a day and save $12 on each...

Yeah, I miss the days of amazon, walmart and kmart all offering credit for new games. Now we basically just have Best Buy and who knows how long they'll do this for...

Edit: I forgot Microsoft started the $10 credit and 1600 point thing recently but they never seem to offer preorder bonuses.

That was my plan until I took it in only to discover that my ps3 is running rediculously slow and has to be sent off to Sony to be fixed under warenty (2nd time in 2 months). I just hope I get the new one back before the double trade in promo ends or before they nuke the base value to $50.

Sorcery is $9.99 at newegg.
