The Bargain Thread

$32 + s/h for Fallout 3? Still way too expensive.

You’re in luck, kerzain: Red Octane is offering the Wii version of Guitar Hero Metallica (plus hanger-on Aerosmith) and 2 wireless guitars for $100 shipped, today only.

B2G1 (IAttOT) used games at GameStop until the end of the month.

Moggraider · 2009-05-28T12:29:27.000Z

What the hell is IAttOT?

Omniscia · 2009-05-28T12:59:33.000Z

I’m glad you asked. IAttOT = In Addition to the Other Two.

It’s clunky and I don’t think I’ll be using it much, and there are too many dang acronyms on the Internet as it is. But I don’t like B2G1 because it’s not accurate enough for me, 'cos you’re really buying two and getting three…

Also, Ninyu, I visited Big Lots this afternoon and they didn’t have anything remotely awesome. It was just Diner Dash, Bad Neighbors, and Rainbow Six Lockdown. Bah.

Gamersgate has another 50% off one day only:

50% off World in Conflict Complete Edition to $14.95

Edit: They also have Galactic Assault for $2 Here, and Stalker: Clear Sky for $15 here.

How is the multiplayer community for World in Conflict holding up now? I played a little bit of it in the multiplayer beta and had a good time, but I never took the plunge and bought the game when it launched. $15 for the full set is mighty tempting, but if it’s hard to get a game going online then I might want to pass.

I have no self control. I went ahead and bought it. It was fun when I last played it, and I figured there’s still a skeleton crew of players around (at least) so it’ll probably be worth it.

Notable weekend Impulse deals:

EU:Rome Gold for $9.99

The Corporate Machine for $0.99

Omniscia · 2009-05-28T17:30:29.000Z

Ooo, I remember quite enjoying The Corporate Machine years ago. I wonder if I can recapture that joy?

Staff_Sergeant · 2009-05-28T17:31:55.000Z

A dollar is a crazy price for a game. If you have even the tiniest interest whatsoever it’s worth it (unless you have some sort of transaction fee with your CC or something weird).

Thing is… you completely made it up! No other google results for it. At least create an urbandictionary entry first if you’re going to make something up :).

Or you could just put the word “FREE” after B2G1. Crazy I know.

If you missed The City Beneath yesterday (or just want the campaign from this one as well), DROD: Journey to Rooted Hold is today’s Game du Jour at gamedujour.com. $10. DROD is really, really great, and while TCB is the latest version of the engine and thus the one to purchase first (imho, at least), all of the campaigns are worthwhile. I suspect tomorrow will be King Dugan’s Dungeon, the first DROD hold as revamped for the 2.0 version of the engine.

Yeah, I caved too. But dayum Gamersgate is slow. Just 29 hours to go at 85 kb/s

The DROD games are fantastic.

Well, except for the rpg. I didn’t really get into that.

UT3 is free for the weekend on Steam again.
Chances for some real weekend deal are pretty slim which makes me a sad panda. :(

The weekend deal is probably the 50% off of either UT3 on its own ($9.99) or as part of the Unreal bundle ($19.99). Prices are after the discount.

I don’t think it is the weekend deal. Steam says they’re on sale till June 7th. =)

SoTS Ultimate Collection for 15$ at GamersGate.
Can anyone tell how does it compares to other space 4X games (specifically GalCiv2)?

I’m gonna post this in the Red Faction Guerilla thread too. If you use the coupon code “MARS” you can get free overnight shipping on Red Faction Guerilla at EBGames.com and Gamestop.com. The only reason I’m posting this is that EB/GS have a pretty interesting preorder bonus:

EBGames.com:

Amazon’s Deal of the Day is 50 Cent: Blood in the Sand (360) for $39.98. I rented the game from Gamefly and it features well done shooting with a ridiculous story. I might’ve jumped at $40 when it first came out, but with the June videogame blitz already started by inFamous, I’m going to pass.
