BB has buy 2 get 1 free this week, too bad DS2 comes out next week

Amazon has a bunch of PS3 games for up to about 50% off.

I have been following Amazon prices ever since their black friday prices. They don't advertise their prices as amazing sales, but they do fluctuate prices daily to the point of amazing deals. ATM, I am tempted to get Bayonetta for $13 mostly because so many people listed it in their top 10 in '10, but with an MMO in my life atm, I don't have much interest in console games. Darksiders looks amazing, but the animation and gameplay looks like WoW but without the multiplayer angle. I was waiting years for a burnout: Paradise sequel to make my ps3 more than a bluray and demo player, but that has failed to turn out as well...

Amazon offers trade-in values greater than the buy new prices at times. I just rented the new bond game and made 7.50 for the privilege from the trade-in. Amazon will put gamestop out of business so long as sales tax reform doesn't go through. All of the "sale" prices listed are just daily fluctuations, they can be found irregularly at any time.

^ Bayonetta's like a 2-night game (in that you'll play for like 2 nights straight to beat it) and never really gets stale, I think you'd find it well worth it.

Preorder ME2 (ps3) on Amazon and get a $20 credit for Amazon.

Also works with LBP2 I think.

Gamestop has a coupon code active until 1/31/11 that's Buy 1 New Game, Get 1 Pre-owned Half-off: b1g1halfoff

An easy way to get a greater discount on something pre-owned that's still somewhat pricey like Black Ops is to search for all new games and sort them by price. The cheapest I've found is this for $5, (http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/prod...spx?sku=280906) but there a variety of games for $5-10. Shipping and the amount of the discount will determine what kind of deal it is, but there's potential if other online stores aren't selling any cheaper.

Also works with LBP2 I think.

Yep, it was just retroactively applied to my pre-order.

according to bioware's facebook all Dragon Age DLC is 50% off. THIS IS THE FIRST DEAL I HAVE EVER BROUGHT TO THIS THREAD. IT FEELS MAGNIFICENT

Awesome deal where you can get a 20$ Amazon Gift card for 10$

Referral: https://livingsocial.com/deals/21336...jp&rpi=4400055

[Kuya]

Bought the deal, hope i can get some use out of it.

[Akiyama]

Yeah, left my referral up there. Get three referrals and it makes the referer's free, though I don't really care all that much. 10 bucks for a 20$ gift card at Amazon is hot.

[Oravis]

Amazon is having a buy 2 get one free deal today.

Xbox Live 12-Month Gold Subscription Card $35 + Free Shipping

Buy.com via Ebay has it again for $35.

[arus2001]

Oh, fuck off, I bought a gold a couple days ago for $60 since checking Amazon and such was like $49 and then $5+ shipping. ;_;

[Eticket]

It's done anyway.

Big sale on Xbox Live right now with 50% off DLC and games from 2k Games and Rockstar Games including Bioshock 2, GTAIV, and Red Dead Redemption (including Undead Nightmare, so now is a good time to get it if you haven't). Thinking about buying GTA San Andreas too for 600 MS points just for kicks and nostalgia.

A few gamestop coupon codes to share that just got me some really nice deals online that I scooped up from RetailMeNot after noticing Blazblue CS took a small pricedrop. Not all are combinable:

171HWHT4 - a flat $10 off on most purchases, may be new as well, but only tested on used games
CAG16 - %16 off all purchases
SHIP0125 - Free Shipping, possibly free 2nd day shipping, but not combinable with certain coupons like the $10 off
SAVER - Regular free saver shipping on $25 and over, which is seemingly just a permanent promotion
BUY2GET1 - Buy 2 used games, get 1 free. Depending on the price of your games, it might be smarter to buy in separate, smaller purchases using the codes above. This seems to expire tonight/1-27-11.

I listed them all here so you can see what's best for you, but using the -$10 off and SAVER, I was able to get Blazblue CS shipped for $16 in one order and DMC4 and Enchanted Arms shipped for $9 using just the -$10, effectively getting the 2nd game and shipping free. Games priced @$9.99, like DMC4, don't qualify for the first coupon so small purchases can be used to push them over!

If you don't have something cheap that you want, just find the cheapest item on the site and you can get $9.99 items for what boils down to basically tax and shipping. The order below comes out $4.98. **Discount does not work on items marked "Download/Digital". For instance:

[Atreides]

i suspect they'll up the minimum on that 10 dollar one lol

[Caiyuo]

yeah I'd jump on that shit fast, the buy1halfoff thing from last week is already dead
