Games/Console Deals Thread

[Correction]

Beware of Ridge Racer Vita, it's something of a ripoff even at that price. Base game only comes with 5 cars and 3 playable tracks, everything else must be bought separately as DLC.

Oh, I was referring to the PS3 version, RR7 there. Not touching the Vita version with a 10ft pole.

Their PSP 'sale' prices baffle me at any rate, and Ace Combat X wasn't on there which is a shame as I'd like to play that on my Vita.

Wow, fuck that

What a lackluster sale. I would love to get some, all, of those DW Gundam 3 DLC packs for at least half off.

GMG has the Mass Effect Trilogy on Sale for 29.99 currently.

thats not really a big deal, all that stuff comes in a normal $269 ps3 system, only bonus is the starhawk

[Eticket]

I'd say the white $299 bundle is a better deal overall as well.

White PS3 w/500GB HD and 1 year of +

Target has a PSP 3000 for $99.99 (normally 129.99), in stores and online, and a Vita + Lego Batman 2 for $199.99 (would be about 250+40), online only. No memory stick, but 8G is the best deal, I think. Unless you can find amazing deals on 16 or 32, which, I hear, Amazon has.

indieroyale.com has a group up. They post a new group of stuff about every two weeks. It's a pay-what-you-think-it's-worth thing. 75% of the items have a Steam key, about 60% of them come with their OST, and the add-on stuff can get pretty cool. Last bundle had Serious Sam 3.

[Guitarman]

gog.com has a handful of the old duke-era shooters up for 60% off.

Shadow Warrior for $2.39 is the standout. Corny jokes abound that you can't help but laugh at.

Amazon Digital Downloads Sales. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...d_i=B00AZNBP1A

There's an initial price reduction with a further reduction you can obtain by using the code "CAGROCKS" at checkout.

Best Buy has a deal for a new Xbox 360 (S models 4GB with Kinect or 250GB) for $99 if you subscribe to XBL for 2 years @ $15/month. Can sign up for the deal on their website or in store, but have to purchase the unit in store it seems.

I don't know how old this deal is, but deal is decent enough unless you weren't going to buy XBL at all. How much you save or don't save depends on how diligent you'd be at getting good deals on XBL service.

[Caiyuo]

As far as I know it's been going for a few months, initially through the Microsoft store. Hilariously the XBL cost is $360 for 2-years, they must think that's cute. As with most subsidized plans, it's a pretty horrible value even with the standard $60 a year for XBL, much less the $35 it goes for every few weeks. I can see why a $100 Xbox would make people jump, but I really wouldn't recommend it.

[theshun]

The only upside is it gets a system to people who need that help managing money. If they can't save, it could help. The crazy thing: you miss one payment, Microsoft bricks the console, if it's actually connected.

Microsoft's week-long Ultimate Game Sale for Games on Demand content makes its opening pitch today, and first up to the plate is Master Chief of the Halo Space Marines. We'll let you be the judge of whether or not the green giant knocks it out of the park with today's offers.

Three games slide down from $29.99 to $9.99 in the form of Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and real-time strategy black sheep Halo Wars. It's not quite as big a discount for the Chief's most recent adventure; Halo 4 shifts its price to $39.99 for a 33 percent discount.

Update: A number of other games are also on sale, including Grid, Call of Juarez, BioShock, and Tomb Raider: Legend. It's not wholly clear, but the wording suggests these particular games are staying discounted through to the end of the Ultimate Game Sale on March 5.

Dirt 2 - $4.99
Grid - $4.99
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic: Elements - $2.99
Rayman Raving Rabbids - $2.99
