At Best Buy, 12/11-12/17: buy One, get the second 40% off on Nintendo Wii U and 3DS games.

Edit: Stacks with GCU. Also excludes Pokémon Sun, Pokémon Moon, and Mario Maker 3DS. (And maybe excludes all third party games, too? Don't quote me on this.)

There is currently a $20 discount if you order Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Day-One Edition from Amazon Alexa, bringing it to around $20.

Buy 1, get 1 50% off certain games at Target.

Also, you can get an Xbox One Elite Controller for $99 at Costco until 12/17. It seems like it's an in-store deal, however. Best Buy will price match them and you will get a $30 gift card. You can buy an extended warranty with the $30, if you'd like to.

Costco also has Forza Horizon 3 for $33.99 + $1.99 shipping and handling.

I know it's a stupid question. Old gamer here. I play mostly 1st-3rd person shooter games. Does the elite controller do anything for me on that or is it mostly mapping your buttons?

2 big things I noticed, having just started using it, even though I bought it a year ago:

It's a heavier, sturdier controller that feels good.

You can shorten the travel distance on the trigger buttons with a switch.

Yup, that's about it, though there is also the option to swap out the thumbsticks for either tall ones or convex ones. Neither feel half as good as the standard ones, IMO.

Yeah, I got the standard setup and feels fantastic...

If you are on the fence about the elite controller, go for it. It really is a huge improvement.

Anyone here interested in GCU that doesn't currently have it?

Mine expired a few months back and I haven't renewed it, though some of these deals are tempting.

Is there a deal on it? I think mine just expired a few months back too.

Best Buy sent out two year codes to people who renewed via some COD promo.

It's a decent controller for only $100 at costco.

Close. It was part of a Call of Duty charity for veterans where if you donated money you got a free year of GCU. They ended up giving everyone two 1 year codes instead because of an issue with the cards they sent out. Whoever replies to this post first saying they want it can have my extra code.

I want it!

I feel like I don't buy enough games at retail to make use of it, so better off someone else.

1st week of holiday sales on PSN is up. I see Assault Suit Leynos (i.e.: Target Earth on the Genesis) is on sale, instant buy for me.

Edited to add: started playing. Whoever chose the font for this game should be fired. Almost unreadable at times.

I bought this for $9.99 from them back in June. It's legit.

They make ordering really easy. I didn't even need to create an account or provide any credit card info. Just paid with Paypal, and they sent the redemption instructions to my Paypal email.

edit to add: guess I should've read the whole thread first, or looked at a timestamp :( Stupid work getting in the way.

I'll second that, I bought it for the same price off CDKeys. I also bought a year of Xbox Live off them too, no issues.

There's a few more free PC games coming later on (which I think were given away prior too).
