Amazon’s Gold Box Deals are all videogame related today, so make sure to check in at regular intervals. I’ll try and post if I notice one that’s particularly good. I’m keeping an eye on the 2:00 p.m. EST (11:00 a.m. PST) deal, which is a 360 RPG. I’m hoping it’s Tales of Vesperia.

Wow. I’m not sure that there could be a more disappointing start to their Gold Box deals. Thankfully the teaser descriptions sound good.

Also, their Deal of the Day is all the My _____ Coach games.

Current Amazon Gold Box deal is Eternal Sonata for PS3 for $34.98. I already have it on 360.

Crater:

Bah. Snowed in this morning, and the shelves were picked clean by the time I got there.

For future reference: if you can, order online with in-store pickup.

How would they sell world of goo?

In a box.

ahh, i didn’t think the retail release was out yet

Jab · 2009-01-12T09:28:00.000Z

Looks like I’m sol for Ninja Gaiden 2. All the best buys in my area are out, and the website is not taking orders. CC is not showing it available in stores so I can’t get it price match.

Cubit · 2009-01-12T09:30:44.000Z

Hmm, the website just took my order for NG2. Whats it saying for you?

Jab · 2009-01-12T09:34:24.000Z

It’s saying shipping not available, and the three closest stores are out.

MSUSteve · 2009-01-12T09:38:39.000Z

I think Target would also price match with Best Buy, so that might be an avenue to get NG2 for $9.99.

Just got an e-mail from Atlus which confirms LA2 will be the 6PM deal, though it doesn’t say how much it will be.

Cubit · 2009-01-12T10:33:03.000Z

I’ve noticed that my local walmart has Sins of a Solar Empire for $19.99. Don’t know if thats widespread though.

MSUSteve · 2009-01-12T11:04:54.000Z

Blech. The 2:00 p.m. (EST) Gold Box deal is The Last Remnant.

Demon_G_Sides · 2009-01-12T11:08:26.000Z

I’m saying the 4 PM PDT one is Left 4 Dead. I hope.

Just go to Wal-mart and they’ll price match it. Someone even reported that they PMed NG2 without the BB ad and that there are signs at Wal-mart advertising them PMing the weekend ads.

Target doesn’t price match.

Wow! I had no idea. Thanks for the heads up.

unbongwah · 2009-01-12T13:28:15.000Z

Newegg has Silent Hill 5 (X360) for $27 with free shipping. Though I have a feeling SH5 will hit bargain-bin status pretty soon.
