Or they switched to DeLorean Express.

That would be a neat trick.

What is so neat? They do that pretty often with new release games.

Because Dragon Age won’t exist until November.

Maybe the deal is on Dragon Quest V?

I was just at Fry’s and an 8GB Kingston micro-SD card rang up at $19.99

Any chance that there will be a sale on Street Fighter 4, or is that not going to happen any time soon?

I’m sure the most you’ll find for several months is a $10 off sale at a B&M.

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is Galactic Civilizations 2: GOTY Edition for $9.98.

Bahimiron · 2009-02-19T05:39:45.000Z

I’m going to wake up five minutes earlier from now on just so I can rob Steve of his sense of purpose by posting Amazon’s Deal of the Day first!

MSUSteve · 2009-02-19T05:53:32.000Z

I haven’t even been posting them lately because they haven’t been particularly interesting or good. Also, if anyone sees Mad Catz Fightpads (360) available anywhere on the internet, please let me know.

Killzig · 2009-02-19T06:31:06.000Z

Tiger Direct seems to have them in stock. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/search.asp?keywords=Mad+Catz+&searchbtn.x=27&searchbtn.y=12

I had trouble finding them online but when I walked into a Gamestop on a lark while I was waiting for my barber to become available this past weekend, there were several of the ridiculous looking Blanca model for 360 behind the counter. And some for the PS3 too.

I agree, but I don’t see the sense in adding your own screen to things.

The thread is completely open. If you don’t see that I or anyone else has posted the Amazon Deal of the Day, feel free to do so yourself. That’d work better than complaining about how I go about doing it.

Thanks Killzig. A buddy of mine pointed that out right after I posted. I ordered a Chun Li model, so we’ll see how that goes.

You’re too late to the party. I’ve already complained about him posting every $5 off some old shitty PS2 game. :)

Just teasing Steve, thanks for monitoring that so I don’t have to.

Heheh. I think Steve’s screen casts a wider net than anyone else here. I usually check the Amazon DotD myself, but usually don’t think it’s worth posting because it can’t possibly be of interest to anyone here. But occasionally, they have some really good ones. Regardless, the kind of stuff they’ve been having lately that Steve hasn’t been posting is stuff like … worthless Wii accessories and things of that nature. They’re not even worth anyone’s time to even think about, let alone posting about.

DaveLong · 2009-02-19T07:25:47.000Z

As long as it’s a bargain and not a fight over DRM or whatever, it’s fine to post it.

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is Galactic Civilizations 2: GOTY Edition for $9.98.

Note that’s just the original game plus a few extras like a music CD. If you want the full monty, Impulse has the GalCiv II Ultimate bundle for $40; Amazon has it on backorder for $37.

Also, for those looking for SF4 joysticks, Buy.com has them for pre-order: $78 for X360, $68 for PS3.

Buy.com has it for $54 with free shipping (PS3, X360). Not much of a sale, but six bucks is six bucks.

I’m complaining about your complaining!
