You forgot Soul Calibur IV for the 360 for $16, which I’ve already ordered.

Argh, out of stock already.

Ranulf · 2009-05-16T23:46:50.000Z

Sigh, wish I’d paid closer attention to the 48hr deal yesterday and seen Soul Calibur in the list.

Lots of free games if you sign up at this site:

When registering, select the free game package.

Yes it’s legal, No it’s not Polish.
You need to install a plug-in. But it’s spy-ware free as far as I can see.

Lots of Amazon deals up today at cheapassgamer. Amazon’s having a father’s day sale of some kind today, with lots of PS3 games for same. And they’re selling a bunch of XBLA arcade classics for less than $3 each. Too many to list here, go have a look.

But isn’t Father’s Day more than a month away?

Hey Sony needs to make a few billion dollars.

Also when I was growing up, I never dreamed that Father’s Day would mean video games. It’s a wonderful amazing world we live in.

At least in Germany it’s this Thursday.
Just saying. ;)

I got a scoop, folks! Here’s Steve’s game room!

And here he is receiving his latest order from Amazon.

Just imagine how big it would be before services like Steam. Much bigger!

EDITED: Bah! Major Nelson had it wrong. XBLA Deal of the week is the Marvel UA Heroes/Villian pack.

MSUSteve · 2009-05-18T07:11:08.000Z

Courtesy CheapAssGamer, Amazon has Madworld and House of the Dead Overkill for $29.97 each.

MSUSteve · 2009-05-19T05:40:46.000Z

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is Endwar (360 & PS3) for $19.98.

DaveLong · 2009-05-19T07:04:36.000Z

Anyone see if Fry’s is going to have any decent deals this weekend? I’ll be in Indy and able to go to the one there, probably on Saturday.

I think MSUSteve and I used up all of the ECA’s Amazon codes. XD Hopefully they replenish soon, I need more!

Holy crap! The response must’ve been bigger than they anticipated. From the ECA website:

The ECA:

The initial batch of one-time use codes has been depleted and will be replenished as soon as the new batch from Amazon comes in. Please check back later.

I like how the color shifts on the left side: “HI U R ENTER STEVE ZONE!!1!”

Holy crap! The response must’ve been bigger than they anticipated. From the ECA website:

Wow, that kinda sucks. I only got to use one code so far. I’m not even close to making up my membership fees yet. Hopefully this is a very short term thing. Perhaps I should have already pre-ordered Red Faction and Prototype.

So long as we realize that we’re all just jealous, jokes about Steve’s games will never be played out.

Also, the yellow glow on the left side is reflection off of Steve’s big pile of leprechaun gold.

It’s me money bin!

swimmy swim

Just to be clear, lest you all think I’m some asshole braggart, I don’t make a much money at all. I just have no other hobbies.

Nice try, Steve McMSU - but I wouldn’t dare attempt to penetrate your Fortress of Gamertude anyways. If I got through the guards with AKs and cyberdogs I’d just have to contend with the giant white gloves on spindly articulators anyways.
