Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Best Buy has Saints Row 3, Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, AC: Revelations, Batman: Arkham City, and maybe a few others for 40 dollars this week. Not sure if the price drops are permanent or not.

Amazon has matched or slightly bettered all of those prices though, plus no tax. Dark Souls is 3 dollars cheaper and AC:R is only $30 (matching gamestop?).

This is the first time I think I have seen SR3 on sale.

And there is an all video game gold box event at amazon tomorrow. Though, with the exception of Black Friday those have been very underwhelming in the past year or so.

I see these prices and it just blows my mind how expensive console games are. Batman AC has already been on sale for $19 on the pc. Saints Row 3 was down to $33 or on the Steam Holiday sale.

Amazon's DotD is Dead Island for $25.

Underrated gem.

Best Buy has B2G1 on all used games...

If you never bought a used game at BB, they are sent back to the corporate off and redone to new condition including new cases and books...

Look into it.

The disks always look great or at least mine have. But I have also got them in generic cases and without manuals.

No? The Best Buy near me are all yellow tinted cases, with no manuals, and a piece of paper printed for a cover...

Also, just to put my two cents in... I don't purchase pre-owned games from Gamestop or Best Buy. For a couple of reasons... #1 They are a rip off, I can buy the same exact game off Amazon cheaper, ALWAYS. #2 I don't feel like paying 40$ for a used game when they only gave somebody 8$ for it. #3 I'd rather support the game companies that make the games instead of giving Gamestop/Best Buy pure profit on used games.

Sorry you have such a crappy Best Buy man...too bad...I support your opinion on why you don't buy used that your prorogative!

But obviously you don't know that I've bought new before and then sold my collection to pay bills. Won't buy them new twice unless the price is right. I buy new and used, ask Skyboxer put I usually buy new if on sale or if they have a collector's edition that I've reserved, like all the Halo games, Skyrim, Battlefield, NBA 2k10 with locker, etc.

2nd not all games on amazon are cheaper...I got all Madden's today from the buy 2 get 1 and the most I paid was 12 bucks for Madden 11.

They didn't have any Madden NFL 12 used yet...but it's next...not to mention in cases and mint condition books and all..

I would post a picture, but don't want my post to get flagged from mods for spam.

Yean except for a select few games, its used for me. I could give a rats *** what they paid someone when they were traded in. Its not like anyone is forced to trade them in. They have costs associated with repackaging, disk cleaning/refurb etc etc....
What matters to me is I'm getiing a game cheaper.
Also our Best buy has full cases and manuals for the most part.

Yeah Best Buy is the first store I've seen have mint condition used games on every purchase...that's a first in years.

And so far haven't gotten a bad one yet...

Re: Official Gaming Deals Thread

Got a great deal going at GoHastings http://www.gohastings.com/department/GAME.uts
they are having a sale on a 20%-30% alot of used 360 games. There is also a promo code boomshakalak that gets you a extra 20% off 360 and PS3(maybe wii haven't tried) games in your cart. Games like Madden, NCAA 12, WWE 12 will all be under $20. Rage and Halo Reach are like $8.50 for another example.

Deal is through Feb 4. I have no idea how long the code will work so if you want anything I would say get it soon.
