Guess you could always mail the retailer and ask for the price they sold it for at the sale.
And if they don’t give it, don’t buy the game until you get it at that price.

1964

Best SSD deals so far have been the SanDisk 960GB for $180 and a Crucial MX300 750GB for $99. Both deals have expired (the Crucial sold out in about six minutes). The Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD is currently $220 on eBay.

1TB drives haven’t come down in price much since last year when I bought that same SanDisk SSD for around the same price.

If there are any Tivo fans here, Tivo.com has Roamio Pro with All-in service included for 500 bucks today only.

1966

If my 6 year-old TiVo Premiere were acting up I’d probably jump on that.

1968

Noticed this a lot the past two years. I wish Cyber Monday would go away because it’s very rare that you see a worthwhile deal anymore.

1969

Some good boardgame (and a smaller number of RPG supplement deals) here:

It definitely changed how I shop as a dad with three boys who look for games and related stuff under the tree. I’m often done shopping a lot earlier now because I’ve made my purchases by the second week of December.

Free game:
Distraint

Uses gleam.io stuff, need to give an email & sign in through Steam. I don’t usually bother with that, but this game is apparently pretty good with a creepy atmosphere.

There’s a new Bundlestars bundle (4$ CDN) with a few interesting titles:

Asdivine Hearts
Blacksea Odyssey
Dandy… the Candy Alchemist
Disposable Heroes
Nom Nom Galaxy
Plantera

Also comes with a 10% off coupon for the Humble Monthly Bundle, which this month features the excellent Dragon’s Dogma : Dark Arisen. Fantastic deal at only $10.80 with coupon.

1973

Holy crap that is a good bundle - OOTP and Big Pharma are very good.

1974

Yeah, that’s an insanely great bundle.

A buck for OOTP 17? lolwut

1975

Dat bundle at less than $5 for the good stuff! EPIC!

All headed to the backlog!

1976

Train Simulator is huge fun. I mean just YUGE fun, the biggest. Worth it for the Trains vs Zombies missions if nothing else.

1977

On that note, if you’re interested in Train Simulator 2017, you can get it cheap as part of the Dovetail Games Franchise Collection 3 on Steam this week. $32.00 buys you:

  • Train Simulator 2017
  • Microsoft Flight Simulator X : Steam Edition
  • Dovetail Flight School
  • Euro Fishing
  • plus 4 Train Simulator 2017 DLCs worth about $150

So even if you’re just in it for the TS2017 content, you’re getting nearly $200 worth of stuff for $32.

1978

That is handy - Train Simulator DLC is plentiful and pricy. For the most part I don’t even bother but I may have to upgrade for that deal.

1979

That is a steal for OOTP Baseball to fix the IRL glitch that happened this October ;) An extra $3 and change for Big Pharma is gravy.

Youtubers Life is supposed to be hot garbage, for anyone morbidly curious.

1980

Sadly, can confirm hot garbage is in fact, true.

1981

If someone doesn’t particularly follow baseball, how approachable is OOTP purely as a strategy game? Is it noob-friendly? I’d like to check it out, but the barrier isn’t the couple of bucks or whatever for the bundle, but just adding more bloat to the backlog.

1982

as a basically unfinishable game, it’s not really something for the “backlog”.

1983

What do you mean by “unfinishable”? And I am curious about it, but not sure how long it wiill hold my interest.
