The Bargain Thread

Cubit:

Steam is having an Ubisoft week, where they are taking 50% off a different Ubisoft game each day. Today, Assassin’s Creed is $9.99.

I’m really hoping for a World in Conflict deal this week. I can’t think of any other Ubisoft games I would want to pick up at half off.

Tortilla · 2009-03-23T14:34:36.000Z

I’m going to freak if they go 50% off Far Cry 2. I bought that yesterday after holding out forever, because I finally decided there was no sale imminent for it . . .

Mordrak · 2009-03-23T14:40:39.000Z

Yay, finally Assassin’s Creed here I come, a bit late though.

Amazon has some Wii accessories on sale. Among them:

Wii Dual Charger Plus
Reg. $24.99 Now $24.98

Sweet!

Oh no! Steam already robbed me with their Indie weekend. Now there going to kill me with their Ubi week.

Digital download is nuke on my wallet.

I am betting there will be Far Cry 2 and maybe a Prince of Persia pack for sale this week, and maybe something like 25% the new Tom Clancy games for the weekend. I think a World in Conflict sale would be high up there too so they can boost expansion sales…

I’m takin’ odds!

I think $10 bucks is finally my sweet spot for Assassin’s Creed. I’m not a big fan of brawler/fighting games, and I’m pretty certain that the reported repetitiveness of missions will turn me off pretty fast, but the engine looks cool. I don’t suppose there was ever a release of a dev toolkit so folks could mod in stealth?

Shadari · 2009-03-23T19:10:38.000Z

It’s getting harder and harder to justify buying games that are NOT on sale.

Are you talking about PC titles or does this include console titles as well?

All Steam/PC games. And all the weekday sales are all 50% off, with the weekend one being ??%.
I’m skipping the AC one (never was interested), but I’m looking forward to the rest of them. Damn you Steam! My bank account will never forgive you :P

Cubit · 2009-03-23T19:36:35.000Z

Or your time. :)

I’m hoping maybe a HAWX, World in Conflict, or Far Cry 2 deal. I would totally buy those at half price.

Don’t forget to install and activate your GGOTD games the day you download them. They are only available for 24 hours otherwise you are out of luck!

DOH!!!

habibi · 2009-03-23T20:07:17.000Z

I hope Ubi sale is successful. I’d like to see EA doing the same. I am holding out forever for Call of Duty 4 and Mass Effect!

Omniscia · 2009-03-23T20:07:28.000Z

I guess I won’t be playing Ghost in the Sheet any time soon, then.

(This is in response to the free game activation dealy.)

Alan_Dunkin · 2009-03-23T20:47:01.000Z

I seriously doubt HAWX or Endwar would be 50% off… just way too new… which is why I’m thinking maybe 25%, perhaps on the weekend.

Yeah get in on the newegg deal while you can. I think Amazon ran out of ready stock, that’s why the price jumped.

Slickdeals is posting that dell is selling the xbox 360 Resident evil 5 version for 326.

What makes Dangerous High School Girls so good? A small few are raving about it, but I can’t get much info on what the gameplay’s like, replayability, etc.

Jorune

It is essentially an RPG except you put together a party of girls who solve mysteries instead of a party of fantasy characters to kill things and take their loot.

Youtube gameplay and demo links here. It’s high school girl drama and backstabbing set in the 1920’s.

Call of Duty 4 isn’t an EA game. It’s published by Activision.

Newegg has Armored Core 4 (PS3) for $16 and Age of Conan Collectors Edition for $20 (regular is $13).
