I typically save the front page deal stories for the weekends, but today's deals are quite good, so we'll make an exception! Today's deals consist mostly of handheld RPGs for the DS & PSP, but there is also a sweet pre-order deal for Dead Space 2 (yeah, they are already taking pre-orders), as well as a couple of other nice ones. Check them out:
The deals for Left 4 Dead and the three DS RPGs for $9.78 will only be available until 3am EST (12 PST), or until they sell out. The others will be available for an undetermined amount of time. Free shipping over $25. Enjoy!
We're getting a bit of an early start on this weekend's Video Game Deals Roundup. There are some great deals available starting today, as well as some existing deals that will be expiring soon. Here's a breakdown of what is currently available:
Note: Above used games come complete with case and manual.
Update: The first batch of deals (including the Modern Warfare 2 deals) sold out and are no longer available. To see what you missed, or to discuss what you were able to snag, check out the Video Game Deals Roundup thread in the forums! We'll keep this list updated as titles sell out or expire, and as new ones are added over the weekend. Enjoy!
We've had some nice Phantasy Star deals lately, with PSP on sale for $14.99 over the weekend and now an opportunity to snag Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection really cheap. For those of you who aren't familiar with this game, it's loaded with over 40 Genesis classics like Phantasy Star II, III, and IV (Phantasy Star from the Sega Master System can be unlocked too. Thanks landman!). In addition, you'll find multiple Sonic & Shining Force games, Shinobi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and more. Here's how the deal works:
Now through December 12th, purchase any Xbox 360 game at Amazon, along with a game from this list of "family" titles, and you'll get 50% off the chosen family game. As you may have already guessed, Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is one of the eligible family titles, dropping its price to a dirt cheap $9.98. If you already own it, there are 10 other eligible family games to chose from, including Sonic Unleashed.
To further sweeten the deal, combine it with one of the Xbox 360 titles that are already on sale, such as Hasbro Family Game Night, Dead Space, or Mirror's Edge (as seen in the Weekend Video Game Deals Roundup). Any Xbox 360 game will do (including pre-orders), as long as it isn't on the list of family titles. The discount will show up at the checkout.
If I didn't already own them both, I would be all over Hasbro Family Game Night + Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection. That's a ton of classic gaming fun for under 30 bucks!
There are some various notable video game deals running this weekend, including a great deal on Phantasy Star Portable. There are multiple retailers involved, so we've thrown everything into one big list for your convenience. Here's a summary of what is currently available (note: most of these deals end today or Sunday):
Some of these stores are offering other less noteworthy titles, so you may want to browse around a little, but the above list should cover most of the worthwhile offers. We'll update the list if anything else turns up (note: Amazon will be running at least one new deal tomorrow, so keep an eye out for that). Happy gaming!
Sega of Japan recently released eight soundtracks from previous Phantasy Star games on the iTunes Music Store. Here is a breakdown of the albums that are available:
In addition, the soundtracks from several Shining Force games were released. Most of the soundtracks can be purchased as a full album, with prices varying between $7.99 and $24.99. Credit goes to Mike for originally reporting this story here and Sayara for bringing it to our attention. You can discuss these soundtrack releases in this forum thread.
For those of you who missed out on some of the great deals offered on Friday and throughout the weekend, there is hope for you yet. Amazon will be running video game specials all day, as part of Cyber Monday (kind of like the Internet-only version of Black Friday). As with Friday, they are running a number of Lightning Deals throughout the day.
They also have a great deal for Playstation 3 owners, offering a free $20 PSN card with select games. These select titles include games like Uncharted, Ratchet & Clank, Killzone 2, God of War Collection, Infamous, Resistance, and more.
In addition, they are continuing to offer some great prices on various other games. Some of these were offered in earlier deals, so you can still get them at comparable prices if you missed out. Here's a list of what I spotted:
If you spot any other good ones while browsing the site, let us know. These deals are for today only and the prices will likely go back up once the sale is over. Enjoy!
Amazon.com has matched a deal offered by Best Buy and has slashed prices on a number of Xbox 360 and PS3 games to just $34.99. Not sure how long this deal will last, so if there's a title you want, grab it now! Here's the list of $34.99 games:
Some great prices on a lot of new games (and free shipping / no tax for most states). Get them while they last!
Edit: Looks like the sale is over, for the 360/PS3 versions anyway. Some of the titles are still $39.99, in case you missed out. They also have the Wii versions of some of the games on sale now for $29.99. In addition, Amazon has started up yet another great deal, offering a free $20 PSN card with select PS3 games!
If you're anything like me, you probably have no interest in camping out for Black Friday deals at the nearest retailer. Luckily, Amazon is having some nice deals on video games all day and you don't even have to leave the house.
As of right now, a couple of my picks are Borderlands (PC) for $19.99 and Left 4 Dead 2 for $39.99. They also have Dragon Age: Origins (360) for $44.00 (PC Version $34.99).
In addition to these deals, which are available all Friday (or until they sell out), there a number of Lightning Deals available throughout the day. Currently being offered are Batman: Arkham Asylum for $29.99, The World Ends With You (DS) for $9.98, and some others. Keep an eye out as it looks like there may be some deals coming down the pipeline for Assassin's Creed II, Fallout 3 (possibly GOTY edition), and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, as well as many other titles.
Edit: The first batch of Lightning Deals has expired. A new batch containing Forza 3, Kingdom Hearts, and possibly Halo 3 ODST will start up at 11:30AM EST.
