Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

So far only two games for me. Deus Ex (PC download) $20 from Amazon and Assassin's Creed Revelations (360) $35 from Bestbuy.com, pickup at store option.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Well I got most of games I wanted to buy through Amazon. Even games I wasn't expecting to buy. I figured prices won't be this low for these games until after a year. Did they ever have the COD MW3 on one of their lightning deals? That's the only one I really want that I haven't bought. But since I got more than I wanted, that will have to wait if there's no sale on this game. Maybe Christmas deals and they'll get this to $28 as well.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

I was able to get both Batman: Arkham City and Madden 12 today for $28. Those were the two I really wanted! Now I can get some sleep. :)

I too had the "freeze" issue earlier in the day with the 3-month XBox Live membership card...my only guess is Amazon pulled that for some reason. It totally disappeared from the offer list. Not sure what happened there.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Snagged Batman too! Yeah!

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Ha, my wife finally got around to playing Arkham Asylum about a week ago, I'll wait for City ;). However, I am still pondering Driver which is about half an hour away at this point. I passed on it yesterday (but probably wouldn't have gotten it based on what I saw)...but been pondering it for the last day. I dunno. Oyie.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

I just snagged Assassin's Creed Revelations on PS3 from Amazon! :banana:

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

No games from Amazon for me this year...pretty disappointed in the whole lightning deal system.

I got Arkham City from Wal-Mart for $28, and it came bundled with the GOTY version of Arkham Asylum.

Also got Uncharted 3 at Wal-Mart for $30...got them to price match Best Buy.

i randomly decided to check amazon one last time before going to bed tonight and saw battlefield 3 up again but with fifteen minutes left. joined the wait list for shits a giggles since iv yet to get any lightning deals yet. the deal expired yet about 30 minutes after it expired it was offered to me for 28$ so im happy

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Drake is now mine.:)

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

If you guys have smart phones you really need to get the Amazon app. I haven't missed a lightning deal yet, and I'm not chained to my PC.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Finally got Uncharted 3. So far I'm 4 for 4 on lightning deal waitlists. If you ever get waitlisted, keep checking.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Rocksmith is the only game I picked up. Most of the other games on sale I already had.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Since I couldn't get Arkham City anywhere, I only ended up with Heavy Rain: Director's Cut ... and a PS3 copy of Bioshock 2 as a gift.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Other than that one DLC mission and the move support, what does the new edition of Heavy Rain have that warrants calling it a director's cut?

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Mainly some older titles for me, but with so many games to play, I didn't mind waiting for these prices:

God of War III $15
Mass Effect 2 $10
Dante's Inferno Divine Edition $10
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 $20
Borderlands GOTY $20
COD: World at War $8

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Nothing.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Yay, another week worth of trying to get games and seeing them sell out in 20 seconds. http://t.co/hVIS23QY

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Yeah, I didn't end up getting anything from Amazon except a couple of $5 Blu-rays. Weird.

I got a cheap TV, $30 Arkham City and $8 3-month Live card from Bestbuy.com.

I got the 250gb Xbox Holiday Bundle for $199 from the Microsoft store.

That was it for me.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Nabbed NFS: The Run at Best Buy and The 3rd Birthday from Amazon.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

Classic Cyber Monday on Amazon. Doing the same game (Driver:SF) and then charging $10 more than your Black Friday price. But yet, the PS3 version is $20. WTF? :whofart:


Edit: And yet, both still got waitlisted in about a minute and a half.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

I got:

Skyrim (360) for $51.00 free shipping at amazon
Rise of Nightmares (360) $29.99 free shipping at amazon
Dance Central 2 (360) $29.99 free shipping at amazon

I was fixing to pull the trigger on Dark Souls for $34.99, but the wife said I had spent enough :lol: I would probably be too consumed with Skyrim anyway.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

So after all was said and done I only grabbed:

Gears of War: Triple Pack - $8
Bulletstorm: $8
Beyond Good & Evil: Free after Bing points.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

It's $20 at Gamestop today.

Re: Official thread of consumerism gone amuck! (Black Friday/Cyber Week Thread)
 

BTW Check your emails. Amazon sent me a $5 credit for screwing up something with the Lightning Deals (I presume it was the $7.99 Live card, but who knows). It's good until December 8, I think.
