Don't forget to set aside $15 for your VIP code

Gamefly's should come with the VIP code. They keep the cases in the warehouse and from my experience they always come with any sort of code.

BFBC2 PC $13: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00452VG02/amazon0b53-20/

[Bebpo]

It'll be less than that on steam soon with the holiday sales since full price is $20.

I'm considering getting it when it's $10 on steam.  I haven't played a BRO BRO military FPS since MW2 and wouldn't mind playing a nice looking scripted one for $10.

[demi]

BC2 is hardly a good single player game. Stick to COD

[Bebpo]

it's not $10

[Wario64]

if you play battlefield just for the single player, you're doing it wrong

[Bebpo]

I thought BC was the singleplayer Battlefield series.  Like CoD wannabe?

[Wario64]

Eh, if it is, it has one boring single player 

BC2's multiplayer is ace though

[Bebpo]

So besides CoD series, all the other military FPS have bad SP campaigns?  :\

How was MoH SP?

[Wario64]

MoH is rental. you can beat it in 1 sitting, even on hard difficulty. the campaign was okay but not better than a CoD game.

[pilonv1]

Short

[demi]

Nothing beats COD in SP... I've played em all man. Even the crappy ones like Turning Point.

$10 for GTA4 and the two expansions.

[Great Rumbler]

I've been meaning to get the episodes sometime, but never saw it at the right price. That's definitely the right price. Anyone know how well the PC version runs?

Really well on my PC. Just don't crank the draw distance up too high. If you get it and can't get it to run right lemme know and I'll screen cap my settings. I get >60fps constantly and it looks gorgeous.

New Vegas for $35.  It is a Steamworks game so you have to install malware to run it.  Otherwise, it is a good deal.

[chronovore]

Cue Sceneman raving about Splosion Man in 5, 4, 3, 2...

[bork]

$5 for the best GTA also sounds like a great deal.

Saint's Row 2 is $5!?

[Raban]

$5 for the best GTA also sounds like a great deal.

Ew, dude, no. It's definitely the most content-rich and that definitely counts for something, but best? It's not even the best of the PS2 GTAs.

Saint's Row 2 is $5!?

Gtfo!

[Robo]

What the hell is Madden NFL Arcade?  Looks like a Burger King version of Blitz.

[ManaByte]

Blizzard is selling WoW for $5, Burning Crusade for $5, and Lich King for $10. So for $20 you can be fully Cataclysm ready:
WoW: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=110000034
BC: http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=110000018

[cool breeze]

aim, msn, and pidgin are all free.  don't bother with wow.

[Raban]

OH MY FUCKING GOD WOW IS SO GOOD. THEY FIXED EVERYTHING. IT'S FUN NOW. IT'S ACTUALLY FUN. FML.

[chronovore]

aim, msn, and pidgin are all free.  don't bother with wow.

You could also throw Yahoo Chat in there, since it allows you to chat while pretending to enjoy a game.

Looks like Red Dead Redemption for $30 at Amazon will be my only Black Friday purchase.

[Eel O'Brian]

Good choice!  I'll do some multiplayer with you!

[Bocsius]

Saw on the Xbox Live that Fable 3 and Halo Reach will be 39.99 on Black Friday at select* retailers. Might pick up Reach. Then again, don't know if I want to fight the crowds.

Yeah, I'll probably just wait until some other firesale post holiday.




*dern near all of them

[Bebpo]

I'm still waiting for them to announce a pc version of this.  Kind of taking a long time though.  Wonder if they might not do it.

If they use the same gap between the console and PC version of GTAIV, you'll be playing RDR on the PC sometime in January.

[Mr. Gundam]

AC: Brotherhood will be $40 tomorrow at Amazon. Planning on getting that, too.

But they have to announce the PC version a few months before they actually release it

Which makes it seem much more likely that the PC version isn't coming anytime soon, if at all.

Bought today for $25 cash from a shop hand who needed GT5.

cash money

GT5

[chronovore]

AC Brotherhood may override my common sense defense against additional purchases. Rrrrr.

Exceptin' that rootin' tootin' Mr. Gundam is playing on PS3, I reckon...

I, however, am still yer huckleberry. Sceneman and I are going to get our Zombie Posse on. We still want the Wild Bunch title, right?

[chronovore]

Free DJ Tiesto pack for DJ Hero 2, though a site registration is required. However, it's a no-check registration, so I suspect you could put all manner of fanciful information into their database and still get your lovely code:

Theres hardly any good deals this year. I'm just gonna go to the local shop here where they have B2G1 on all their old games and pick up some Cube games.

[cool breeze]

Amazon has a few good deals going, including ones they don't list.  I got the Majin game that came out earlier this week for $23.

the other game I know I'm getting is Joe Danger on PSN, which is half off.

[demi]

I want a deal on Arcania... havent seen one

I'm waiting for a US release for Dragon Knight Saga, but I would consider a cheap Divinity 2

As it is I just get all my games from Gamefly so I'm not too excited about these cheap games

[Bebpo]

The only games I want deals on (online only, I'm not fighting people in lines) are:

-Fist of the North Star ($30 or less)
-NFS Hot Pursuit
-DK Returns
-Xbox 360 250gig slim

[Stoney Mason]

Halo Reach is $40.

Yeah, I need to get that.  I actually bought the PS3 version of RDR with some trades so I could play online with a couple of RL friends.

[Akala]

Halo Reach is $40.

http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Reach-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA20M/ref=pd_ts_vg_3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames

$30 now lol. still waiting on a NFS sale.

[Eel O'Brian]

It's probably a good thing that I don't get paid again until next week, it's helped curb my impulse purchase of games I'll never play quite a bit.  So far I've only bought a couple of $.99 iPad games, and two $5 Steam games (one was the Indie Story Pack)

[Bebpo]

Well, replaced my dead US X360 with that 4gb slim for $200+60 credit.  Then picked up Halo Reach ($30), Enslaved ($25), Read Dead Redemption ($30) to go with it.

Guess I'm back on the X360 train.  Just need to figure out what to do about the hard drive and getting my Ninja Blade save copied over from my old drive.  I'll use my 16gig stick temporarily until I figure something out.  $130 for the 250gig hard drive is ridiculous.  I don't want to pay that and then another $20 for the transfer cable.

[Mr. Gundam]

I snagged AC: Brotherhood for $40 and Red Dead Redemption for $29. Amazon

[demi]

I didnt buy shit. Went to the local shop and picked up:

SNES:
Ys 3
Brainlord
Equinox

N64:
SpiderMan
Glover
Nightmare Creatures


B2G1

apparently you can buy the "shell" from dealextreme and put your old hard drive in that

[Eel O'Brian]

Nightmare Creatures

awesome game

[demi]

lol, ya its the n64 ver so it probably runs for shit. but it is a good game and i dont have it so i picked it up. was only $4 i think.

overall i spent $22 on those whole 6 games.

[Raban]

Spider-Man by Neversoft

[bork]

The only games I want deals on (online only, I'm not fighting people in lines) are:

-Fist of the North Star ($30 or less)
-NFS Hot Pursuit
-DK Returns
-Xbox 360 250gig slim

With Fist, just get Hokuto Musou International next month.  I think it's going to be around $50, but that includes all the DLC, which would cost more than $20 for everything anyway.

[demi]

Spider-Man by Neversoft

The only good Spiderman game, for sure

[Bebpo]

Well some store in FL through Amazon was having a BF sale for the X360 slim 250gb drive for $99 instead of $130, so I just went with that.  My old drive was a 20gb, so might as well replace it with something a little bigger and I'm lazy so I just prefer going the official route instead of hacking things.  Overall $240 for a replacement is a little pricey, but I'm just going to use the money I was going to use for an iphone 4 and put it into this instead.

Now to get my saves off my old drive I think I'm gonna need to find someone local with an OG X360 and bring over my HDD + usb stick to transfer them over.  I realized that even if I bought the $18 transfer cable I couldn't use it since my X360 is dead   Not that I have a lot of saves I'd want to bring over.  Mainly just Ninja Blade, Deadly Premonition, Bayonetta, Forza 3.

With Fist, just get Hokuto Musou International next month.  I think it's going to be around $50, but that includes all the DLC, which would cost more than $20 for everything anyway.

Yeah but the thing is I don't care for the game much and wouldn't have bought any of the dlc.  It's not a game I actually really want to play.  It's a game that I'd play for a few days and sorta enjoy if I get it for $20.

Why bother, then?  Even at $20 that's a waste.

[Stoney Mason]

Bought Greed Corp for 160 pts on XBL Live. I always kinda wanted that one.

[demi]

The XBLA deals are ass... I already own all the shit they put up.

Because I sort of liked the demo.  Are you telling me there aren't any games you kind of enjoy but you wouldn't pay $40+ for?  There are lots for me.  Especially when it comes to anime/gundam games.  I liked the Hokuto demo because it lets me play out story from the manga and beat the crap out of dudes with badass moves.  Otoh the graphics are fucking horrible, the controls are stiff and the gameplay is shallow and often badly designed.  So it has plus/minus factors and therefore I'd like to play it for about $20.

MS sent me a RDR Undead Nightmare themed email with 160 free points the other day, so I used them to pick up Splosion Man
