Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

It's not, I got an email about it. You just need to be a member of the XBox Rewards program, which I believe people need to sign up for separately.

Cool, would not be the first time they have no idea what they are talking about. Good to know, for sure then will get the Rare Collection this way.

Well they just added this game to their $10 Reward Certificate with Pre-order promotion. That makes it $22 net with GCU. At that price, it might actually be worth a revisit.

<strike>Also currently there's a glitch and they're selling The Witcher III (Xbox One) for $24.99 ($19.99 with GCU ). Should be corrected soon so hurry.</strike>
Nm. Already fixed. Sorry.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Looks like Amazon is getting competitive again.

Need more details. They're going to have to offer some major incentives to take my business back from Best Buy.

Also, $7 savings on F1 2015 and Halo 5, and $4.95 savings on Star Wars Battlefield.

Yeah, I'll keep going with the 20% off from GCU at Best Buy which comes out to $12 off new releases, plus (usually) a $10 RZ certificate on top of that.

Yep! This is the route I will continue to take.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Wonder what Amazons discount on hardware will look like?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

Margins on hardware are slim to none, why would there be discounts on hardware? Oh, wait, are you talking hardware as in consoles in as in peripherals?

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

just got AC: Black Flag for free being a gold member. how is this game? i've only played a bit of II...

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I liked it a lot. I obsessed w/ the sailing and pirating. It's not ACII cuz ACII is that goddamn good. But it's solid. Never played III but I hear that one sucked.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

It's a really fun game. Solid freebie for sure.

Yeah, the blurb from Amazon mentions "accessories," and I assumed that meant some form of hardware.

imo, it's the best entry in the franchise and a great standalone game on top of that.

Plus it's real pretty.
