I’d be tempted on the id deal if I hadn’t just bitten on the X-com one and the fact that most of those games are sitting in the closet behind me.
I was just about to post the id deal. I’m downloading now. How can you pass it up?
I just got an email from Stardock with 20% off any product over $8 if you complete their survey. I’m assuming this applies to games too, and if so, is a sweet discount on Sins or Galciv2.
Though I just attempted the survey and clicking next after what seems to be the last question (20), the survey site surveymonkey.com hangs and the next page never loads. Bah.
Copied from the Xbox 360 price drop thread:

No Quake 4. I already own everything else or pretty close to it. Granted I don’t really want to play Q4 either but it’s exclusion was enough to stop me from just buying the convenience of steam. Or maybe I was just looking for an excuse to stop giving Valve so much of my money. I am a sucker for their weekend deals.
Hooray for digital distribution. I own all the id games on the list and still have CDs for all the ones I’d ever want to play again but I bought the Steam pack at $35 anyway just for the convenience factor of having them easily downloadable to any system I install Steam on.

Filled out a survey and got a generic 20% off coupon code for 20% any purchase from Stardock.
Coupon code: SURVEY-2008
So, is a (supposedly XP compatible) version of X-Com Apocalypse worth it? The version that came in the Collector’s Edition (the boxed one with the Windows versions of UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep) was a DOS one. Has anyone tried it out?
They’re just running the DOS version in DOSBox. If you have Apocalypse already and are comfortable working with DOSBox, the only reason to buy it again would be to have it on Steam.
So, for those looking at Xboxes now that the price drop is official, Circuit City will throw in 1600 MS points (aka Braid and $5 left over) on any of the SKUs. That brings an Arcade down to $179, effectively.

Say, is there any word on whether MS will be selling the Xbox 360’s 60 GB drive separately, or is it still just the 120 GB one that’s available? I don’t necessarily need all that space (because I don’t plan on it being a media center or anything) but I would like to have room to partially or fully install games when the OS allows it (when’s that supposed to happen anyway?).
Trying to decide what to spend my Stardock coupon on. I have Sins and Space Rangers 2 already. I was thinking about Twilight of the Arnor, but I haven’t played much with the first expansion pack yet so there’s no rush on the second one. Depths of Peril is probably the indie game that I’m most interested in out of their selection, and $16 is a pretty good deal.
Are you able to use it on pre-orders? If so, I’d consider using it on Demigod.
The Amazon Deal of the Day is Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (360) for $39.99. I doubt there were any fence sitters on that game, but if anyone was waiting for a price drop, there ya go.
GoGamer has it for $35, but with $3 shipping it’s mostly a wash.
I don’t think we had a post about the 48 Hour Madness this week. Nothing too amazing, but I saw RS6: Vegas2 or Space Siege for $30.
Pre-order Force Unleashed from Circuit City, get a free t-shirt and $10 gift card. They’re also offering a free $10 gift card with the Spore Galactic Edition and 1600 free MS Points with any X360 console.
WITH the Les Paul and I’d jump on it for the extra fake guitar…
Circuit City also has a buy one get one 50% off deal on select videogames. Mostly crappy-to-middling selection, but they do have PGR4, Condemned 2 (X360), and Lost Odyssey for $40 each.

Hmm, that aerosmith is still $60 for PS3. If the deal was for ps3 and with the guitar I’d buy it just to have a copy on PS3 to complement my main fake rocking on the 360, since they are in different rooms…
That Stardock coupon actually gave me 25% off Depths of Peril, to make it only $15 (from $20). Maybe I missed some fine print, but that’s a nice round number and a good deal for a minute of work.
