Amazon’s Video Game Deal of the Day is Sacred 2, all platforms. The console versions are $48, the PC one is $40. I mention this more because it’s a quality game than because it’s a quality discount.

Is it better than Sacred the original because that on was very iffy.

It sounded that way to me, but I haven’t had a chance to see for myself. Gamefly won’t send it to me and it’s never reached any kind of sane price for just outright purchasing that I know of.

I don’t regularly read the Dom 3 forums, but I was under the impression that the developers have stated that their current project is not Dominions 4, & there are no current plans to work on such a project.

I haven’t read through the whole thread, but this seems the most recent. I don’t think you are in danger, unless the developers are filthy liars.

OMG, an RPG set in the Dominions universe would put me in gaming heaven! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE that! Also, a space version of Dominions would be great. Change the setting, but keep the same type of depth and breadth? Wow.

Not sure if this is a price drop or a sale, but Amazon also has The World Ends with You for $16.

Chrono Trigger’s also only $20!?! (http://www.amazon.com/Chrono-Trigger-Nintendo-DS/dp/B001E27DLM/ref=pd_sim_vg_1_img) You Americans get some crazy, crazy deals. TWEWY is a fantastic game that’s nearly ruined me for other JRPGs – $16 is a steal. A steal!

Staff_Sergeant · 2009-07-12T22:29:20.000Z

I’m pretty sure I paid more for TWEWY a month or so ago when I bought it on eBay, definitely would be worth $16 if you never played it.

Newegg has Prince of Persia (PC) for $8 shipped.

Ikaruga is now only 400 points on XBLA for the next week.

Micro Center has Halo Wars for $30.

That is tempting. Paying $5 to punched in the balls is more palatable than paying $10. Until you ask yourself “Wait, why am I paying to be punched in the balls? That’s really painful.”

GoGamer has Blood Bowl (International Version) for $27.90

http://www.gogamer.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=77157812&categoryId=65201

Presumably not dodgy CD keys hacked/gathered from third world countries.

What kind of DRM is on this?

Imashankyou · 2009-07-13T13:01:58.000Z

I’m assuming it has the same DRM as the digital version: activation limited SecuROM with the ability to deactivate/revoke activations.

Robert_Sharp · 2009-07-13T13:12:54.000Z

Do all gogamer games that have the (I) (import) come in full English? Because they have Blood Bowl right now as part of their madness sale for 27.90, but it’s the import version. It doesn’t specify anything on the write up. There are a few other games with the I that I’m tempted to get.

Staff_Sergeant · 2009-07-13T13:31:53.000Z

FWIW The version of Blood Bowl we are all playing is the French version, and it let us select “English” when installing. I can’t think of any good reason why gogamer’s version of the game wouldn’t allow an English install.

Squee · 2009-07-13T15:12:30.000Z

You can always trust Gogamer import versions. The only thing that might be bad is if they have different copy protection from a US version that you don’t want, like Starforce.

For Canadians:
I know it’s only $5 off the lowest I’ve seen it (at EB) but it’s $45 at Walmart for the Crysis + Crysis Wars combo pack. In comparison, it’s $54.99 and $59.99 at FS/BB and London Drugs.

Also Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box seems to have received a $10 pricecut at both WM and EB to $29. Some EBs have Tomb Raider: Underworld PC for $19.99 as well.

Omniscia:

Stopped by my local Best Buy this afternoon. If they’re having such a sale, there’s no indication of it. No stickers, no visible price cuts, no tables or bins, nothing.

Okay, so, I tried again today, and they had a few. But only NHL 09, Turok, LOTRO CE, Brain Training for Dummies, and Hired Guns had stickers on.

unbongwah · 2009-07-14T15:06:52.000Z

Amazon DotD: Rock Band 2 SE for $130. Not as good as when Gamestop had it for under $100, but if you missed out on that and are jonesin’ bad for RB2…
