The Bargain Thread

Mysterio:

Are you able to use it on pre-orders? If so, I’d consider using it on Demigod.

That’s exactly what I did. After the survey coupon, I paid $33 bucks for Demigod. Beta is downloading now. :)

Just confirmed: It works.
I pre-ordered Demigod for $33.71 US instead of 44.99 US.
I saved over $11 US.
Nice deal. Thanks :)

Targetwise - saw Condemned 2 and Lost Odyssey on clearance for $20 and $42 respectively. Neither especially tempted me. Condemned was short enough that I’d be perfectly comfortable renting the sequel as well, and as for Lost Odyssey, well…I don’t care how good it might be, $42 is only any sort of bargain because of the criminal next gen pricing scheme and how utterly that game has failed to drop in price.

But others may be more tempted.

Great news! I’m glad it worked. I just did the same. :-)

I have no idea how entertaining a Price is Right videogame could be, but Amazon is offering “deals” on all versions of it if you preorder: Wii - $32.99, DS - $22.99, PC - $12.99. It might be worth $12.99 to play the PC version for kicks.

I dunno. Just watching it on TV for 5 minutes should be enough for anyone.

MSUSteve · 2008-09-10T07:21:28.000Z

Ha ha! Yeah, you’re probably right about that Midnight. But hasn’t everyone secretly wanted to be a contestant on the Price is Right at some point? What would put the game over the top is being able to fully customize a t-shirt proclaiming one’s love for Bob Barker or spayed dogs or whatever.

ATTN PLASTIC ROCK FANS!

Circuit City has the following on sale starting Sunday the 14th:

Rock Band 2, of course, but get a free RB2 T-shirt.

If you need an extra Les Paul: Pickup the Aerosmith Bundle for 360, PS3: $74.99. Since the LP sells for $69.99 standalone, you can get another 40 songs for 5 bucks more. (OOH! Easy Achievements!)

They’ll also have the 360 wireless adapter for $89.99. Save $10! Woot!

(Yeah, I know.)

Kadath · 2008-09-10T15:38:49.000Z

I heard a rumor that Blockbuster will sell you RB2 for about $30 if you trade in a RB1 disk on Sunday. Looking for more info on that.

EBGames.com’s deal of the day is free overnight shipping on Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway. Enter the coupon code BIAHH to get the offer.

I’m gonna pass on this as I’m not a big BIA fan and there is just way too much other stuff coming out to buy a game I’m not all that into.

you could do worse for your .99

malkav11 · 2008-09-11T21:15:55.000Z

Except for Tribes: Vengeance and Prince of Persia (better played on consoles), you’d have to try pretty hard.

Marcus · 2008-09-12T04:17:18.000Z

Only real issue here is that the shipping is more then the games. I ordered all of them and the shipping was 7.99 ha

Cubit:

Mage Knight: Apocalypse

I picked up MKA the last time GoGamer had it for 99 cents - think about that, they’ve sold it for less than a buck before and they still have copies to get rid of - and I found it pretty bland and dull. If you’re absolutely compelled to play every action-RPG since Diablo II and have already finished Titan Quest, Sacred, Dungeon Siege 2, Fate, Heretic Kingdoms, Divine / Beyond Divinity…well, I probably still wouldn’t recommend it, but hell, it’s your dollar (+S/H).

EBGames.com’s deal of the day is free overnight shipping on Batman: Arkham Asylum. Enter the coupon code ARKHAM. Note that this game isn’t due to come out until August 2009 and who knows if it’ll be quality or not. That said, I took advantage of the offer. If preview coverage/demoes are bad, it’s easy enough to cancel, which is what I did with Facebreaker.

malkav11 · 2008-09-12T16:16:30.000Z

Steam weekend deal is both Gumboy games bundled for $5 (normally $30). It’s quite the deal…provided you like Gumboy, which I didn’t when I tried the demo.

The screens and early coverage look fantastic.
