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

I bit on Goldeneye Reloaded at $30. Really liked the Wii version but wouldn't bother with online Wii so hopefully the replay and online are worth the upgrade.

Also picked up FIFA for $28... which I seem to do every year. Even though it always waits until I'm tired of NHL.

...and then the real bargain's started:

Bulletstorm - $8
Gears of War Triple - $8
Vanguish - $5
Deus Ex - $17

All games that tempted me upon release but at $5 and $8 I won't mind adding to the backlog.

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

Wait...How did you get Deus Ex for $17? You know what I'm not sure I want to know...nevermind ;). Mine already shipped. *sigh*

So far, I've bought four games during BF/CM.

Deus Ex (360) $29.99 (Amazon)
Dark Souls (360) $34.99 (Amazon)
Phantasy Star Collection (GBA) $5.76 (Cart Only thru Amazon Warehouse)
Splatterhouse (360) $9.37 (Like New Amazon Warehouse)

I think that's it for me. I've almost bought Driver: SF a couple of times but for some reason held out.

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

:lol: I keep doing the same with Metroid: Other M. Do I want/need to add it to the permanent collection for $5? So far, I haven't.

So the Xbox Kinect Bundle for 99$ has this in the contents:

Kinect Sensor
The Gunstringer Downloadable Token
Fruit Ninja Kinect Downloadable Token
Kinect Adventures Game
Power supply cable
Manual
Wireless Netwok Adapter

Is this a true wireless network adapter? Old Xbox's that were not connected to the internet, can they now connect wirelessly?

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

Yeah, they're wireless now. Ever since they went "slim" at 2010 E3.

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

No I have a old Xbox, question is does the wireless network adapter come with the kinect bundle..or is that a misprint?

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

Well.... if you'd like to know about Deux Ex... it came from a UK site called zavvi.com. CAGers regularly vouch for this site for deals on international releases. That $17 price includes conversion and whatnot. You may not have been able to take advantage of it unless your bought it for the PS3. I know the PS3 is not-region specific but I don't know about the 360. Other deals include Tomb Raider Trilogy, Child of Eden, Prince of Persia Trilogy... some other stuff too.

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

Hmm, I might be down for a Gunstringer code. I just assumed they packaged in the game disc.

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

No that's a misprint. The Kinect console bundles have wireless, but the Kinect units by themselves do not.

The ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection will be a lightning deal again in an hour.

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

Those bundles have wireless built into the consoles I thought..didn't know the xbox 360 bundles came with wireless network adapters

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

Just thought I would mention, look like the second Lego Harry Potter (360)will be on Amazon Lightining deal in about 45 minutes. If its $25 or under, I'll pull the trigger. $30 or above, I'll wait. The first one was an absolute blast minus a couple of bugs.

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

It'll be $34.99 to match BB's CM deal on it.

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

That's what I meant when I said the console bundle has wireless.

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

Booooo. I can pass. :) Considering all Lego games hit $20 eventually (and well below in some cases), $35 is too much at this juncture.

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

You guys are comically miscommunicating. All Xbox 360 consoles now have wireless built in, bundle or not.

The Kinect unit is a stand-alone device that sometimes also comes in a bundle with a console. That device always has a wire and has nothing to do with wifi.

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

$35 is borderline for me at this point. It won't be cheaper than that (I truly believe) before Christmas and it would make a great stocking stuffer for my younger daughter to go along with my elder's Dance Central 2 and my Disneyland Adventures (though that could go to the younger instead).

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

:lol: Yeah, that whole discussion was confusing the hell outta me.

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

Im order to use that NEWCUSTOMER10 code your order needs to be over $50. I ordered Red Dead Redemption GOTY. Ended up being $21.48(20 for the offer and $1.48 for the filler I needed to push the order over $50)

Here is the cheapest thing I could find to push my order over $50 if anyone needs something(its a download so no shipping)

Few more minutes on this Amazon Lightning Deal : Logitech Illuminated Ultrathin Keyboard with Backlighting for $39.99 (MSRP $79.99). Always wanted a lighted keyboard for gaming, so now I have one. :)

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

After missing the first two Lightning Deals, I just got Arkham City for 29.99 with no lightning deal :up:
