This site (which I’ve never heard of) has most of the men of war games for 3.00

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/men-of-war-bundle/

I really have to stop buying games I’m never going to play. I mean I can buy a large Peets coffee for 3.00. At least I’ll drink that!

“Steam Early Access” version of Kerbal Space Program apparently on sale for 40% off this weekend.

Sighted over on GAF: Create an Oman XBL account and download a bunch of games and DLC for free, including Mars: War Logs, Injustice, and the Saints Row IV season pass. They’ll probably fix it soon-ish, but it’s been going for over an hour now.

I have to ask: what the hell is an Oman account?

WarpRattler · 2013-09-14T13:09:37.000Z

An account with the region set to Oman.

This is how the sultanate keeps peace among their citizens.

BundleStars is a decent site. I’ve bought a few bundles from them in the past. No issues.

Canadians: Walmart is selling the 3DS XL for $149.99 (or close thereof). I pricematched today at Future Shop for $144.99. Didn’t have a 3ds yet & was very happy for the deal!

Brad_Grenz · 2013-09-15T22:49:35.000Z

PSA: La-Mulana is $3 on Steam this week.

For anyone who still hasn’t played it, Gamersgate has The Walking Dead (with DLC) for $7.49 for the next couple of days. I may pick up the DLC alone ($2.50) which is the only bit I don’t have.

Amazon has a great sale on Logitech devices today. Too bad I bought the G600 just two weeks ago. I could’ve saved $10.

Too bad the G400 isn’t in there. I might’ve picked up an extra.

Hm, I’m not familiar with the G400, but it looks like my old MX518, which served me well for many years and still works now.

Just fyi, camelcamelcamel shows the G400 as being at a historically low price, so it might still be worth picking up. :)

I had several MX518s before having my eyes opened to the G400, which has a more accurate sensor but is otherwise identical. If you’re happy with the 518, stick with it since the improvement isn’t world-changing, but I grew a bit annoyed with it and am very happy with the switch I made.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bargains. Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed is 75% off on Steam today, and it’s probably the best cart racing game in about a decade. Highly recommended if that’s your thing, and possibly even if it’s not.

As an FYI, the G400s is on sale, just not as steeply discounted.

Gamefly is having a massive 2K sale. This includes Bioshock Infinite + Mafia II bundled (BI is a Steam code) at $13.59.

20% off - so, $10.87 for the bundle - with GFDSEP20.

MrPerson · 2013-09-16T14:24:44.000Z

At that price the Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX is a pretty sweet mouse. I may pick up a new one, as the old one is getting pretty grubby from two years of gaming use.

My only complaint is that most of the additional buttons aren’t well placed for gaming use. You have to adjust your grip a bit, and that can throw precision and timing off. For the mouse itself, I find it works on basically any surface, is extremely comfortable, and has no signal or tracking problems. It technically doesn’t have gaming precision, but I never had issues with it.

Thanks for mentioning this. I never thought I would see Bioshock Infinite this cheap ever as an Australian consumer (crazy regional pricing elsewhere), and with mafia 2 included as a bonus what a great deal!

I bought BI and used the coupon and got the 20% off. But I could not figure out how to get the free copy of Mafia II.
