The Bargain Thread

Whoa – how long has TR:U been on sale for $10 at Best Buy? I was just there a few days ago and it was still priced at $39.99.

JonRowe · 2009-07-31T08:22:58.000Z

yeah… I haven’t seen that deal anywhere.

Part of BB’s July clearance sale on PC games which I posted about a few weeks ago. Seems to be YMMV, though; check to see if there’s a green-ish BB sticker on the case.

I really need to stop reading this thread. I don’t have any time for all the games I keep getting, or wanting to get, when I see these crazy deals.

Weekend Impulse deals

What is Star Assault? Their description says: The intro from a famous tv-series could also describe Star Assault, which is a perfect mixture between “Wing Commander” and “Battlestar Galactica”.

First of all, what famous tv series? Battlestar Galactica, I assume? So it’s a space-sim where you are trying to find a home, like in Homeworld? Is this a good space sim?

Mysterio:

I have the retail versions of CoH and CoH:OF, and was able to use the Impulse version of CoH:ToV without issue. If I were you, I would purchase the Steam version of CoH:OF and then add your CoH key within CoH:OF. There’s no need to install CoH; the CoH key will unlock all CoH content within CoH:OF. The same is true for CoH:ToV, if you decide to purchase it, as well.

Just so I get it right, you mean I can just install CoH: OF from Steam and is able to play CoH without having to install CoH as long as I enter the key. Did I get it right?

Regarding Dawn of War on Steam:
The Gold Edition is 9,99€, the Platinum Edition (which contains the Gold Edition) is 7,99€.

Yup. Opposing Fronts contains all the content of CoH, and Tales of Valor contains all the content of CoH and OF. You need to input the key within the game to unlock the corresponding content.

Big 48 Hour Madness sale. Too many to list. Lots of preorder deals as well.

TimJames · 2009-08-01T07:14:50.000Z

All that and the only thing I’m looking at is Arma 2. Not sure if I’m ready to buy yet however.

That sale is the first time I’ve ever seen a retail PC game go for 50 cents though!

Omniscia · 2009-08-01T11:34:03.000Z

I bought Battlespire, new-in-box, for $0.01 from EB many years ago. Now that was a bargain!

malkav11 · 2009-08-01T13:52:19.000Z

Bah. I didn’t actually buy it, but I’ve seen Bad Day L.A. go for -$1. (Yes, that’s a negative sign.)

I think the only really interesting thing on that list is discounted preorder Demon’s Souls, and I’m going to keep my preorder with Amazon, thanks.

I would say that’s still a rip-off.

Yeah, I feel your pain.

Not a bad 48 hour madness. I bought Operation Darkness and Zoids something something for 5.90 each. That is about what I wanted to pay for those games.

Man I love GoGamer’s 48 hour madness so much. Got Prince of Persia and Mirror’s Edge one week, Operation Darkness and Blazing Angels 2 the next, and BIA: Hell’s Highway and Jade Empire Special Edition this week. I used to not have a backlog at one time, not going to be like that anymore. Also love the fact that the 48 hour madness lasts about 80 hours. Madness!

Matthew_Jewkes · 2009-08-03T08:12:31.000Z

So, having never played Dawn of War, should I pick up the originals in the relic complete pack, or should I just skip it and get DoW2?
