Picked up Sturmovik and BlazBlue.

Brutal Legend and Red Faction needed some company on the unplayed pile.

I picked up Crysis and pre-ordered Medal of Honor. I heard DICE is taking care of the MP on that game -- sounds like a can't miss.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I thought about picking up ME2, but I'm thinking by the time I finish part 1 and get around to part 2 there will be a GOTY edition out. Great deals on Dragon Age and Saboteur. If I didn't already have them, those would be definite buys.

Now all we need is some more half-priced EA cash cards and we'd all be getting some free games.

I'm tempted to buy Dragon Age (original game), but I'm having a hard time justifying it given the size of my unplayed pile. By the time I get around to it, it will probably be $20 retail.

Smart man. Half of the "deals" I jumped on in the past didn't end up being deals at all, since I would get to the game a year later when it was practically a budget game.

Re: The Video Game Deals Thread

I only buy early if I am absolutely sure it gets played immediately. Everything else can sit till its 20 bucks or less. Especially as fast as many games are dropping in price lately.

The Gamerday sale was kind of weak, but I grabbed Afro Samurai and Jewel Quest for $10 each. I already bought Assassin's Creed for $36 at Wal-mart or I would have grabbed it for $30.

I buy multiplayer games early because the pool of players eventually dries up or outclasses me.

Single player games though can wait a long time.

The Game Days sale was decent. I ordered Left 4 Dead 2 ($13) and Indigo Prophecy ($8) for a total of $23 shipped (paid in credit). I'm still hoping for a B2G1 sale so I can get GoW3, Bioshock 2 and Bad Company 2.

Thanks for the info on this. I just pre-ordered Tiger Woods 2011 for the Wii for $30 and ordered EA Sports Active for $25 using the code in 2 separate orders.

Cha-ching. Took 3 days but it showed up in the GB yesterday:
Spoiler:


I have no clue what the Shrek stuff is all about. I pay tax so being able to get the games I want to show up in there is a nice offset. Now I'm shooting to get Life in there this week.

I do have a question though, has anyone ever had digital content (games, music, movies, whatever) show up in their GB?

Corvin, rating my purchases and editing my recommendations helped with the whole gold box thing. No more cat shit the past couple of days. But I did have 2 items that are sitting in my cart right now show up in my gold box this morning

Cool.

Interesting about the cart. Maybe the cart is independent of all the other factors. I still don't think Wish List items will show. I've had Life in there for a week and nothing. Took it out today and will see if it turns up this week.

Not sure where to put this but fearing the internet today, I was pleasantly surprised at CAG today.

That's great. Especially the "tags" section and clicking on the comments.
