Amazon Gold Box Deals on Jan 12th: All Video Games #1

Just an alert (I know it's really early, since it's not until another two days), Amazon's Gold Box deals Monday are going to be all video games, it's not system specific, so you'll just have to hope.

From here

Just go here on Monday: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27

If someone finds the clues, let me know and I'll post them in the OP. The guesses are tentative, I may change them if someone comes up a better guess.

6:00 AM - Romp through the garden with your pets. -- Littlest Pet Shop: Garden DEAL OVER
8:00 AM - A PS3 game that dreams are made of. -- Eternal Sonata PS3 for $34.98 DEAL OVER
11:00 AM - This should hold you over on Xbox 360 until Final Fantasy XIII releases. -- Last Remnant $34.98 DEAL OVER
12:00 PM - A kid named Ben + Aliens + Wii = Bensational! -- Ben 10 Alien Force $19.98 DEAL OVER
2:00 PM - Slimy and award-winning - what else would a PC owner want? -- World of Goo $9.98 DEAL OVER
4:00 PM - An alternative to No Child Left Behind. -- Imagine Teacher for Nintendo DS OH GOD AMAZON HATES US ALL DEAL (lol) OVER
6:00 PM - Get bonus goodies with this radiant crescent. -- Luminous Arc 2 $25.98 DEAL OVER

Seems like a 'meh' Gold box.

I was hoping for Mirror's Edge and/or Dead Space for 30 bucks. I know that they didn't sell too hot, so it can't be that long before they're discounted.

Hopefully Viva Pinata is the first one and isn't sold out by the time I get up. I still haven't completed the first one, but have been itching to get the second.

That would be nice. I was also hoping for a cheap Resistance 2 CE.

That's not even in print anymore (nor did it come with a bonus). At best it'll be Luminious Arc 2

Also, yeah, I bet the last one is Luminous Arc 2, since you got a bonus CD or whatever with it, and it came out November, which is fairly recent.

Wrong. Prices have already been inflated on eBay for the game indicating quite a strong demand for Valkyria Chronicles.

Cool. Which means everyone needs to buy this game (install it) then play it.

I'd like to get Eternal Sonata and Luminous Arc 2, if they are in there. I've never ordered anything from Gold Box before. If I want to buy more than one thing and have it ship at the same time, do I just put the first item in my cart and wait for the other one before I check out?

I got Dead Space when they had it for $30 bucks on BF I think, very much worth it.

I was hoping for Bioshock or Fallout 3 PS3 for $30 bucks when I clicked on this thread, but I guess I'll just wait longer.

Holy shit! Looks like Viva Pinata was real wishful thinking.

I'm betting "no child left behind" is going to be "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" at this rate.

I'm hoping the 11AM deal is Lost Odyssey myself. Still need to snag it, but I'm waiting until it's under $30.

After buying Blue Dragon and Away at full price, I'll not get screwed by Mistwalker again!
