    Pfft Warioware D.I.Y. is a screaming deal.

    It looks like a terrible version of LittleBigPlanet.

    I know the Prof. Layton games get a lot of love here, I'm thinking about picking them up as a gift for my wife.

    Professor Layton games are great for casual gamers/puzzle lovers.

    WarioWare DIY sold out in a matter of minutes (like, 2) when it was on Amazon Lightning Deal for $10.

    Kirby is tempting at 20, but reviews say it's really short and it's a minigame collection.

    They dress it up as a minigame collection, but it's more like five epic Kirby missions and three minigames.

    It indeed is. If I owned a DS, I would snap it up in a second.

    EA is having a holiday sale; buy 2, get 50% off. The entire order, I think.

    Titles include Mass Effect 2, Sims 3, Command & Conquer 3 titles, Sim City titles, and lots of sports games

    So tempting, but so close to the Steam winter sale... I just know Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age Ultimate, and Dead Space are gonna end up in that thing.

    Diablo Battle chest MSRP is $39.99.....its been a decade plus for all the stuff in there but it commands a price of a year old game that sold moderately.

    My Target and Best Buy are next to each other. On Sunday, I went to Target, intending to get the deal with their holiday bundle (160g, Force Unleashed II and Prince of Persia Blu-Ray). To my dismay, they were out of stock, listed as 389 online (instead of the 299 it was for black friday), and the employee with the Target gun said it had been discontinued.

    So, today, after work, I went to Best Buy. They had their holiday bundle (160g, Cars Blu-Ray, Little Big Planet GOTY, Mod-Nation Racers) for the same price as the normal 160g, so I grabbed a bundle, a controller, and a $20 gift card, and walked to the customer service desk.

    I had prepped by loading the Target Weekly advert on my phone, so I could show it right away. After shuffling over the supervisor, she looked at Target.com weekly ad, found it in stock nearby, and gave me the price match! She couldn't zero out the gift card, so just took the equivalent off the system, meaning I paid less in taxes, too.

    That's a 160g PS3, 2 controllers, LBP-GOTY, Mod-Nation, and Cars blu-ray for 300 before taxes. Not a bad haul, I'd say.

    _____________________


    In related news, I have 20 bucks online to spend. I'm looking at the front page, but there's almost too many choices.

    Oh, and before I go online, is there anything I should know while setting it all up? Is Mod-Nation Racers worth pulling out of the packaging, or is it purely trade-in fodder?

    There may not be any holiday bundles at your local store. We got eight in last week, but the rest since have been games-less regular Xboxes.

    Yeah, I'm prepared to be disappointed. Shame MS isn't making more of those bundles. They're fairly alright deals even without the gift card.

    Bioshock 2 isn't bad at all either. Better gameplay, but the story is only a minor continuation of the first. 1&2 might as well have been one game.

    Minerva's Den DLC is fantastic though.

    Yup, I'm going by CAG's forums, and a few people have said they've gotten the price. I think new PSP Gos are going to be $150 as part of a holiday sale, but the $150 price has been around here and there the past few months. $99 might be the sweet spot for me, especially since I don't really care much for those free download voucher games (Ratchet, SOCOM, and I think LBP).

    The 3-game pack is given via a redemption code so you could feasibly sell those off if you don't want 'em.

    From now until Friday, the Telltale Games Store is offering 50% off pretty much anything that isn't preorders on Back to the Future, if anyone hasn't gotten in on these games yet.

    I just took the chance to get a bunch of Steve Purcell poster prints, myself, but I figure someone out there hasn't played these completely awesome games.

    Can anyone recommend a good ~$30 game on Amazon.com?

    I want to get the best out of this deal (that is, get half of a game that's equal to the cost of a game I really want) and have been staring through the lists. Preferably on Xbox 360, but it doesn't have to be (I don't own a Wii, but I think it extends to PC games?).
