I'll be looking out for the Metro 2033 deal but I bet it'll disappoint. Buy it now for 47.99!!!

 

[LiK]

probably. just know that you have to pay shipping and the game comes in a cardboard slipcase with no manual.

dunno if that matters to you. just letting you know because i got mine yesterday and wasn't expecting the packaging to be so ghetto.

Wow really? Shipping shouldve been cheaper then

 

[Lkr]

Just in general or for someone'e who's already waited this long and is being tempted by a >$40 price?

I never really had much interest. I didn't even know about it until about 2 weeks ago tbh:lol
I've heard great things and a $42 price is decent enough

So they pulled a GH: Van Halen on it.

That's fucking shady.

does red dead need live for anything? i expire in 3 days and I don't want to renew until there is a decent deal

Unless you like multiplayer, then no.

 

[kaskade]

PoP is already 36 bucks for the 360. Even if it drops just ten I'll definitely jump on that. Assuming that's the game.

 

[HiResDes]

I might nab that stick if its really only a hundred bucks.

 

[HiResDes]

So guys Singularity or Metro 2033?

 

[Lkr]

are there any better red dead deals? amazon has no tax and shipping for me

 

[Devil Theory]

So guys Singularity or Metro 2033?

I don't know about Metro, I haven't played it, but I picked up Singularity for 360 and it's a solid game. Good for that price, I paid $60, wish I would've waited and seen this though.

 

[thecheese]

I'm thinking about biting for that Red Dead deal, but then again it feels like it should be going down to $30-40 in stores pretty soon.

 

[LiK]

No, just get it

 

[thecheese]

I went for it. It's about time I got the damn game.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

If it really is a stick and it's cheap enough to warrant shelling out for yet another stick (I'm starting to collect these now, I think... dammit!) I might, might consider getting it. Then I'd order art from arthong and put my seimitsu buttons into it and move the chimp I have from my SE to it and paint the case a bit to resemble my current stick with the wood case.

OK that's awesome. We need more ape powered video game accessories.

 

[Flunkie]

So it's just games? I was hoping for some cheap XBL.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

They finally remembered to jack up up the price of the PS3 one so that this actually seems like a deal. It was still $99 this morning.

 

[feel]

If Metro 2033 gets a good price, everyone BUY IT!

Fantastic game.

 

[speculawyer]

It is the best-selling game of the year and has only been out for 2 months now. You are not going to find a better deal than that.

Edit: Ah, you bought it.

 

[Mooreberg]

Amazon somehow botched my order when it was $44.99 last week so I'm glad to see this happen again so soon. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

This was actually twittered a bit ago

Next X360 Gold Box Lightning Deal: Madcatz SFIV Fightstick @ $94.99

after PoP though

If it's the TE stick, I'd be tempted to get one for 360 even though I already have one for PS3. I've shifted from PS3 to 360 as my main fighter console, and that's the system I bought Super for.

 

[JaxJag]

Fantastic game.

It's a little rough on the 360, but if you love thick atmsophere in your games, Metro 2033 is a must buy.

 

[kaskade]

Ordered PoP. If I order a game early enough with Prime sometimes it'll get here next day. I'm in no rush though with Limbo coming out tomorrow.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

$26.99 for PoP. Kinda what I was expecting. Its at the price where Im really thinking about it, but this has <$20 in another month (or sooner) written all over it. At $19.99 I would have bought it without even thinking it through.

Probably going to wait, good deal though.

Wait a sec, I used this same argument to justify buying a heavily discounted SSF4 on PS3 even though I already had the 360 version. I then forgot that I bought it until now.

 

[speculawyer]

I was surprised that less than half of the available RDRs sold . . . but then I realized that TTWO must have made A LOT of RDR's available since 43% of what was available sold, it shot straight up to #1 on their best sellers list.

I think Rockstar is pushing hard to make this a really big franchise for them by getting as many copies out there as possible.

 

[zugzug]

wow none of these discounts are knock my socks off jump on it.

Geeze I remember kicking myself for not getting the tekken limited edition package for $59, but even just now I'm laffing that the Street Fighter IV fight stick is still $94. I realize the difference in quality that people talk about but still $94 isn't even getting me out of bed.

IIRC that $43 price on Red Dead was 1 dollar cheaper than what it was listed as last week for normal pricing.

Amazon I'm laffing at you.

 

[HiResDes]

I just picked up a TE Stick

The prices haven't really been too hot today. As RDR should have cleared 100% easy with a great price to be sure. $37 would have likely got quite a few more people to pop on it. The $30 dollar gamestop deal for just an hour a week or two ago brought the site to its knees.

As for the stick if you are a Sam's club member you can get an amazing deal if you are lucky enough to fine one at $42.88 bundled with the game;

[RBH]

Next deal: Alpha Protocol - $36.99


Meh.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I had a lot of fun with the game

So did I, but I would still "Meh" that deal. The game didn't sell well and will probably settle in the $20 range sooner rather than later.

Really, Amazon?

 

[Blueblur1]

These are terrible deals. The claim percentages are a testament to that fact.

 

[LiK]

all terrible deals today. did not buy anything

 

[Kusagari]

I had to bite on the arcade stick. The actual game prices have been horrible though.

 

[Jonsoncao]

if they put Metro 2033 sub $20, Im gonna bite

They are not even trying here. Weakest gold box day ever.

 

[GitarooMan]

Give me a break with this Metro 2033 "deal" it's been 45-50 dollars for weeks. What a joke.

 

[JesseZao]

Yeah, I wasn't tempted by any of these.

 

[Mindlog]

I picked up RDR.

I am reticent to look a gift horse in the mouth...

but this has been Amazon's most incredibly half-assed sale ever.

imo

 

[Shurs]

It's $40 at Gamestop right now. This was a disappointing sale.

 

[OldJadedGamer]

Wow, what a let down of a day for this.

 

[darthbob]

My whole day is fucking ruined now.

Thanks a lot Amazon.

The sad thing is AC2 has been on sale for less than that in the past as well. This is probably the worst Gold Box I've seen in a while.
