The awesome deals thread 2010

[sandiny0ursh0es]

Thread resurrection.

Just thought I'd give a heads up-- a few PSP RPGs got a price drop on PSN. Crimson Gem Saga and Hexyz Force for $14.99, Riviera for $7.49, and SMT: Persona and Persona 3 Portable for $19.99. Maybe a couple more I'm missing off the top of my head.

Sorry, but when a topic like THAT has been dormant for a year it's better left alone, too easy to jump in and think there's an amazing deal, only for it to have been dead for a year (or surpassed by the new MSRP!), so may as well just start fresh.

The Atlus sale is on the front page. NIS America is having a sale too starting next Monday. There's no list of stuff on sale yet, but they said there'll be bonuses too.

Also Amazon seems to have new VG deals daily. Yesterday's had better selection though - lots of new-ish Squeenix and Atlus stuff.

....And I saw a thing somewhere about a leaked Wal-Mart flyer for Black Friday. Something about games like God of War Collection and the first CoD: Modern Warfare for $10, $89 DS Lites and all other kinds of crazy stuff.

Oh yeah, it was SiliconEra.

Who the fuck is going to go near a store on Black Friday though?

slickdeals.net has all the big chain ads up if you guys want to check it out

Two words: Steam Sales.

Not right now, specifically, but there is typically one around Thanksgiving (maybe for Black Friday, can't remember dates) and there's a huge one from mid-late December to January. If you are open to the idea of buying PC games through a digital distribution service, you'd be better off waiting for these sales to do your PC game shopping.

Yeah, I'm planning to wait and see what deal they have for Fallout: New Vegas given how it's Steamworks and thus would be owned through Steam anyway.

GOG.com is having an awesome pre order deal with The Witcher 2. 5$ off retail price, GOG exclusive content, DRM-free, and a few free games with the purchase. DRM FREE?!

My favorite website to surf in the mornings (aside from RPGFan) is CheapAssGamer.com.  They always have great deals there.

Also Amazon seems to have new VG deals daily.

Holy shit it's Collector's Edition Day and Demon's Souls and Agarest are on there. (So's FFXIV if anyone cares anymore.) I want the DS one. $26!

[John]

It's not actually the collector's edition - it's the regular edition with the preorder bonus.

It's not actually the collector's edition - it's the regular edition with the preorder bonus.

I know that - Collector's Edition Day is just what Amazon is calling today's VG deals.

EDIT: Oh, and its today only.

Was just about to post this.  It's also 10MSP (12.5 cents), but I had 30 points kicking around in my account.  Score!

I, too, came rushing here to tell everyone about the Age of Empires III deal, haha.

There's also Bioshock for download for only $1.99.  Next best price is ~$15 new at Amazon.  http://www.gamesforwindows.com/en-US/games/bioshock/

I've been using http://bfads.net/ for deals lately.  :)

Hah! Up yours, I beat you guys by SEVERAL HOURS.

How much do  you suck? Please , re-evaluate your life choices and elect me Czar of RPGfan.


EDIT: Do you elect Czars or are they like normal Royalty and it just gets passed on like a family heirloom? Also, how do dynasties start? I mean, is a royal title just given to the first person in the country who says "Dibs on being royalty"?

EDIT2: No one has answered my question yet so I'm just going to ask another question. What is the statistics of Serial Killer to Non-Serial Killers. Because RPGfan has almost 8000 members and I want to know the likelyhood of one of us being a mass murderer. I'm going to say that I'm NOT a serial killer, but that is something a serial killer would TOTALLY say.

EDIT3: I can do this all day people. Why am I still using googlemail even though it INSISTS on not sending out the emails I write, or gives me the emails people send me that have attachments. More than once it has locked me out of it while google "investigates" my account, like I'm some kind of government spy or using it to write love letters to known terrorists.
