Getting the amount of content Hogwarts offers for $19 is an absolute steal.

Armored Core 6 is 18.99 on Amazon right now. PS5 is out of stock for a couple weeks but you can still order it at the price. Xbox version in stock.

I already own on GOG (and Amazon Games and prob Epic store too) Baldur's Gate I and II if anyone wants my codes.

It looks like those freebies are promoting their upcoming show Secret Level, which will include episodes based on those games.

There's also some deals they're tying to this show promotion.

Up to 50% off Mega Man games (Restrictions apply. Available on PS4 and Nintendo Switch.)


Save $15 on CrossFire Sierra Squad (Restrictions apply. Available on PS5 and Xbox.)


Up to 80% off select PlayStation [PC] titles [Online Code] (Restrictions apply. Available only on PC.)


33% off PAC-MAN World Re-PAC (Restrictions apply. Available on Nintendo Switch.)


The Outer Worlds for $14.99 (Restrictions apply. Available on PS4 and Xbox.)



$100 off Arcade1Up PAC-Man Plus Deluxe Machine (Restrictions apply)


Up to 45% off Exodus: The Archimedes Engine (Restrictions apply)



The Outer Limits deal is interesting, because they're also giving away the PC version as a GOG code, so you only need to buy it if you really want it on PS4 or Xbox One.

Also, the book, Exodus: The Archimedes Engine, I guess is based on an upcoming game called Exodus:
https://www.space.com/everything-we-know-about-exodus

From what I can find, that game isn't due out until the second half of 2025. Secret Level has an episode based on it in its first season. It's a little awkward to have an episode on a game that's not out yet, but that's probably not as awkward as the episode based on Concord, the game released and already shut down after only a few weeks.

This has a list of the episodes for the show, which line up with the games getting freebies and deals:

Amazing price for PoP. Already have it for the PS5, but I bought it for my daughter's Switch.

It is the same price for PS4/PS5/Xbox Series if you switch to those systems for PoP.

I thought 18 bucks was a decent deal, but it's Ubisoft so I waited. I'm sure if I buy it now it'll be 10 bucks in a week.

Great game though, and good deal for us. I just don't understand anyone who wants to buy an Ubisoft game on release.

In the case of PoP, to support the developers in hopes that more games like it get made. I happily paid full price.

Exactly. If you don't buy stuff that you want to support more of than you can't complain every time a studio gets shut down either.

Eh, I don't think anyone should be "shamed" for waiting on an Ubisoft game to go on sale. If they had a corporate model that benefitted pre-ordering, that would be different. They've made it clear that they are more interested in monetizing microtransactions and selling DLC Season Passes and are very comfortable slashing game prices quickly so they can sell more DLC. If that works for them, it's also taught me the correct way to buy their games.

I was talking about PoP specifically. I agree when it comes to the standard open world games they like to rush through to release full of bugs.

So dramatic. No one is being "shamed".

Today’s Best Buy deal is a Logitech G PRO Racing Wheel for $850, which…not what I was expecting to see.

Yeah you're right. It would be in such poor taste, I'm sure there won't be any jokes made about it on late night talk shows or SNL this week.
