Question about the BB Reward Zone program–can I just give them my Reward Zone number at the checkout (in store), or do I have to print the temp. card?

3502

Rock Band 2 Double Cymbal kit is the Amazon DotD. At $20, you can have four cymbals for the price of the triple Cymbal kit! :)

3503

They tie your account to your phone number, so you can give them that at checkout instead of the actual card.

3504

Gogamer has No More Heroes for $15. I’m pretty tempted.

Also Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for $6

3505

Yup, I did that, and now I have Mercs 2 for 10 bucks. Not too shabby. Hope the game isn’t too bad-- I heard it wasn’t quite as good as the first.

3506

Amazon’s DOTD is Persona 4 for $26.

From Major Nelson’s page:

After the successful run the deal of the week had last December, we’re bringing it back on a regular basis. Starting Monday, February 23rd Xbox LIVE Gold members will receive a discount on a different piece of content each week (Arcade games, Game Add-Ons, Xbox Originals.)

With this announcement of the program, I am also able to give you a tip on what the first deal of the week will be.
Braid the award winning Xbox LIVE Arcade title normally 1200 points will be available for Gold Members in all Xbox LIVE regions starting Monday for only 800 points, a 33% savings.

Braid will be available for the special price after Monday February 23rd at 13:00 GMT/0800ET/0500 PT *

Here are some details around the program:
The special deal pricing is available for Gold Members only
I’ll post the new deal each Monday morning when it becomes available at the special price
The Marketplace team is doing their best to make a Deal of the Week available in Xbox LIVE regions
*You must be signed in as a Gold Member on the web marketplace to see the lower prices

Coming later this month, Xbox LIVE Gold members will also have exclusive access to steep discounts on Game Add-ons for Ninja Gaiden II and Project Gotham Racing 4, as well as the original Xbox classic, Fable.

It’s nice to see MS has decided to run these deals on a regular basis.

Also, the 4-hour lightning deal starting at 9 EST is PS2 Lego Batman for $14.98.

3509

Today’s Amazon’s deals are all about the PS2. Here are the hints for the remaining Lightning Deals (PST):

10 AM: It’s about time we stopped ignoring the Pacific theater.
2 PM: I like to move it, move it.
6 PM: Scarier than the Italian mafia.

According to Slick deals, Amazon has Madworld on the Wii at a preorder price of $40 instead of $50.

3512

According to Best Buy, Mercenaries 2 is 10 bucks(360) (with rewards zone membership)

I am picking this up after work, I can’t argue with a 10 dollar price point. I am sure it will be worth it. I liked the original enough.

3513

Mercs 2 takes a healthy piss on the first game.

3514

Aw, it’s still loads of fun.

3515

Hell yeah it’s still fun, and easily worth $10. I’ll still jump in and co-op anyone who wants to get into this, just drop me a note (divedivedive on XBL).

3516

I have you on live, I might hit you up this weekend for that.

3517

Thanks for the heads up on Merc 2. I bought it on my way home from work. That Best Buy rewards card was a nightmare though. I kept trying to sign up for one, but the computer wouldn’t let them enter me into the database, because it said I was already in the database. But when they tried to search by name or by telephone number, I wasn’t in the database, so I couldn’t use the card to get the discount. Sheesh. So there’s no way for me to get or use a rewards card apparently. But anyway, I tried my brother’s name and phone number, and was able to get the discount that way.

3518

Thanks for the heads-up Jorune.
Worked fine. :)

3519

Amazon’s video game DOTD: Saints Row 2 CE for $35, either PS3 or 360.

Are there any reasons to prefer either version? I.e., performance issues, extra content, etc.

Amazon’s also got a buy 2 get 1 free deal on certain Take 2 games.

EDIT: current Lightning deal is SW Force Unleashed (PS2) for $20.
