    gears 3 had the $20 which was awesome. i also got $15 for brink but since they forgot to add it to my account they doubled it for me. amazon still has fucking crazy deals once in a while.
    but now i do most of my game shopping online at glyde.com because look at this shit, fuck me dark souls 360 for $45

    Well, I was going to come in here and thank you for pointing me to Glyde, because I found a good price on a game I've been wanting.

    Then at checkout the price suddenly changed and I was overcharged. Without being able to see the new price before I clicked to finish. So, that's pretty shitty.

    wait, what? did you choose the super slow free shipping?
    EDIT: also on the product page, did you select the used version? they always advertise the cheapest price.

    It's a brand new game so it only had the new option. And this was with the free shipping selected the whole time, I didn't see another shipping option actually.

    weird, i've only bought used so i think they do something screwy by not advertising the price for new games.

    I sent them an email complaint, so hopefully I can get the price fixed. Pretty bad form for my first order from the site.

    In better news, the Dark Souls guide is only $14 right now. Good enough to convince me to finally use my free Prime trial.

    Hrm... very tempted on Hunted. For $14, the reviews seem to point to it being worth a few hours.

  • Skull2185Skull2185 Registered User regular
    Hunted is very much worth it for $14. Its kind of like "Gears of War: D&D edition"

    I bought it for $60 and didnt regret it

    Everyone has a price. Throw enough gold around and someone will risk disintegration.

    Any deals on Rage before I pick that up?

    Hey I made a game, check it out @ http://ifallingrobot.com/. (Or don't, your call)

    Unfortunately it looks like most of the deals were for last week. Your best bet right now is probably looking for one of those 15% D2D codes that come around all the time

    So, I'm trying to decide where to get Batman. K-Mart sounds like a pretty good deal, but I'd hate to not be able to do some Robin challenge maps. Does anyone know for sure if thats actually a Best Buy exclusive, or if it just unlocks through normal gameplay?

    All Batman preorder bonuses will be available to everyone as DLC down the line. So you might have to wait (depending on your store of choice) but you wont miss out on anything

    In case you guys were worried, I'm not dead. I'm dead about a thousand times (Dark Souls)! I've been keeping an eye on the internet from my phone and haven't seen anything amazing that makes me leap up to get on the PC to post, but let's see what we got:

    4GB 360 + Kinect + 75$ giftcard for 300$ (is a pricematch from Target, I think?)

    Assassin's Creed Brotherhood 12$ PC/MAC

    Dark Souls Hardcover Guide 13$ It's on backorder and was already posted, but this shit is pretty good if you're going to play the game. It's got some bad errors/typos here and there, but extremely useful nonetheless.

    Deus Ex Like New PS3 30$

    Deus Ex Like New 360 30$

    Saint's Row 3 + 10$ credit PS3/360

    edit: yeah that's about it that i can find

    It's really silly that PC games got the price hike to cost the same as the console ones, but often don't get the pre-order discounts

    Kaseius I gave you a shout-out in the November Wallet-Rape thread.

    For helping to get our wallets un-raped this holiday season.

    btw if anyone sees a deal for a new PS3 for $200 or less, let me know plzkthnx

  • KaseiusKaseius Registered User regular
    Well, it's kind of like un-raping but then re-raping, or something!

    I gotta say that I definitely wish I had a Kmart nearby, their coupon deals have gotten extremely aggressive lately and Amazon hasn't been as fierce as they were last year. Trying to hold off any game shopping until Black Friday/Cyber Monday because I remember how good last year was. Just another month or so; just gotta hold out...

    Yeah, I'm holding off on some games in case of some B1G2 sale or something. ToysRUS did that for a few years. Did they do it last year?

  • KaseiusKaseius Registered User regular
    They've got a B1G1 sale going on now, actually, but it's awful.

    A few years ago, like 2 years in a row, they had a B2G1 (that's what I meant earlier) on any games in the store. But it always landed at a weird time, where there were two that I really wanted and kind of a third, but I'd already bought one of them at a different store a few weeks earlier because I had to have it.

    But yeah, looks like they aren't doing that anymore.

  • KaseiusKaseius Registered User regular
    well, here's a decent price for what might end up as a trainwreck of a port:

    Sonic Generations PC - 22$ w/ coupon TECHB-ARGAI-NS015

    Persona 2 PSP 30$, normally 40$ for today only. Probably.

    It has nothing to do with games, but dammit people Twin Peaks Gold Box is the Amazon Deal of the Day for $35, which is a goddamn steal.

    go buy it and then go buy Deadly Premonition or Alan Wake, and bam, now it's game related and you'll enjoy both games a little more.

    Wow, that's tempting. I've been really thinking about finally watching Twin Peaks but knowing it ends on a cliffhanger has always driven me away from it.

    Yeah - the very, very end is infuriating. But the one, main, stronger story has a good and proper ending halfway through Season 2. It's absolutely worth it, as the last episode ever, dispite the huge cliffhanger, is just so awesome otherwise.

    Truth all up in this. Alan Wake is definitely more enjoyable having watched Twin Peaks first.

    Good to see the preorder credit appear on Saint's Row 3, that's all I was waiting for to go ahead and order it.

    Someone posted that Toys'r'us is having their annual B2G1 free sale next week. No confirmation yet, but it is that time of year, and Amazon usually matches (and Best Buy has their own sale as well).

    Apologies if this was already mentioned and I missed it, but Amazon has Battlefield 3 PC download $42 normally $60. No idea how long it'll stay that price.

    Ooh, I hope this is true. Gears 3, Dark Souls, and something else (Ico/SotC Collection? Killzone 3? Yakuza 4?) Possibly Batman. I have it on order from Newegg at $48, but a B2G1 sale equals out to 3 games at ~$40 each if the first two are $60.

    It's the last day of the humble bundle. Frozen synapse, trauma, and SpaceChem. And Trine and some other games if you pay ~$5

    I honestly did not have any immediate plans to pick up BF3 (Origin, whatever this browser nonsense is, and the fits of rage I've seen from the beta), but at that price I'm actually seriously considering it now. I have leftover gift certificate funds sitting on Amazon as well. Hmm, I have some serious thinking to do.

    Have there been any better deals for BF3 on PC, or is this the best that's come up so far?
