The Capcom Digital Collection for 360 is $13.60 at Amazon right now.

http://www.amazon.com/Capcom-Digital...eywords=Capcom

Not a bad deal for 8 XBLA games/1600 achievement points.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Amazon's deals:

Right now (6:00 AM PDT hour), they have Risen 2 for $30, which is $10 off.
The 7:00 hour deal looks like Skyrim.
The 8:00 hour deal is a 3DS Mashup.
The 9:00 hour deal looks like Sleeping Dogs.
The 11:00 deal is a Kinnect game.
The 1:00 deal is a Fallout game.
The 2:00 deal clue is "If you’re serious about gaming, then get serious about the sound." No idea what that is.
The 4:00 deal clue is "The vacation from hell -- on Xbox 360." Again, I have no idea.
The 5:00 deal clue is "The vacation from hell -- on PS3." So either the same game, or they've got a 360 exclusive for the previous hour and a similarly themed PS3 exclusive for this hour.
The 6:00 deal is a racing wheel for the 360.
The 7:00 deal looks like Skyrim again.
The 8:00 deal might be a Final Fantasy soundtrack?
The 9:00 deal is the last deal for today. The clue is "Be a mercenary fighter doing battle against deadly fiends and powerful beasts."

The deal of the day is FIFA Soccer 13 for $40 ($10 off)

ETA: Damn you and your speedy typing, Pinata.

I'm guessing the next one will be Oblivion, since Skyrim is definitely later in the day.

Not expecting anything exciting from this, especially given Amazon's track record recently.

Vacation from Hell might be Dead Island GOTY?

Yeah, it's almost certainly Dead Island, but who knows if it'll be GOTY edition or not.

I figured it'd be GOTY since it's newer but you never know with Amazon.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Here's a neat little trick I just discovered to get three $60 games at Best Buy for $60 spent at Target:

Target is having their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale right now. They have a 2-pack of games for sale -- Binary Domain and Yakuza Dead Souls shrink wrapped together for $29.99 (which is weird since they sell Binary Domain by itself for $39.99, but whatever). You can buy three copies of that bundle (assuming they have three in stock -- if this info hits CAG, forget about that happening) for $60 as a part of this sale. Then drive to Best Buy. They are having 100% trade in credit bonus now. Binary Domain trades for $8 base, or $16. Yakuza Dead Souls trades for $12 base, or $24. That means those packs you just bought for $20 each are worth $40 used at Best Buy. I traded in three for $120 + another $6 GCU bonus, so I have a $126 Best Buy gift card as a result. Now, since Best Buy will PM Target, you can buy two $60 games at Best Buy and get a third for free via Price Match, and you can pay for it with your new $126 gift card. That's a sweet deal that doesn't require a ton of legwork.

Most of the signs in Target say you can only buy 1 copy of each title.

Actually, you're right. But it rang up just fine for me. And you could always do it with two or three seperate transactions. Remember that all the game you buy from Target are returnable at 66% of the MSRP -- you'll lose nothing by buying and returning unwanted new games. Hell, even if you only get one and take it to Best Buy, you make $20 for your time.

N/M - PS3 and the lady would only let me get one.

Does the platform matter if you're only using it to trade for credit at best buy?

It does when only one platform is selling them shrink wrapped together and the other is selling them separately.

Yakuza is a PS3 exclusive franchise. Well, Sony exclusive anyways as it started on the PS2.
