And now SE's got 40% off on physical media -- all the way back to Chrono Cross. (And FF Anthology/Chronicles, if you want those for some reason, but they're pretty much the worst versions of those games.)

40% off the MSRP though, so don't expect many CRAZY DEALS.

Nah.

Mostly it's just convincing me that I was right when I didn't buy Deus Ex for $12 the other week on the assumption that it would be on sale for that price pretty frequently.

Mad Catz has a sale on. Good a time as any to buy Street Fighter controllers. (The expensive-ass Pro joysticks are down to $100; gamepads are $20.)

Anodyne for a buck.

Haven't heard of it before but it looks a lot like Link's Awakening. Which I think is a good thing. (Then again, I never managed to get into the Oracles games, and they looked EXACTLY like Link's Awakening.)

Hey, I remember working on those. They were moderately funny.

El Shaddai is three bucks on the xbox live marketplace

I've heard enough good things about it for that to seem like a really great deal.

Kayma · « **Reply #788 on:** February 26, 2013, 08:41:12 PM »

Absolutely worth it for $3. No question.

Looks like they won't take MS Points, which is irritating -- up to this point I've been following Shinra's(?) advice to use only prepaid points cards to buy things on Live, so that MS doesn't keep my CC on file.

I've got a little bit of money left on a gift card I got for Christmas, but it's under $3.

Hm -- I could use my Chase debit card. I really should get around to closing that account.

All that said, as I've often noted I shouldn't be buying games right now anyway. And, appealing as $5 Bioshock is, I already have the PC version free and I think it PROBABLY wouldn't bluescreen on the opening cinematic now that I've underclocked my graphics card -- but then again, SecuROM.

Anyhow, here's a list of games that are going to be similarly discounted in the coming days.

I don't own a 360, but I have a Live silver account and can get to a 360 at a LAN Cafe in town. The site's telling me to log in on a console before letting me buy El Shaddai (I've logged in on a console within the last few weeks, but deleted the account there when I found I couldn't use the cloud save function). Is Microsoft trying to lock this game to my account on a specific console? Am I unable to just bring my account that purchased the game on a USB stick to the cafe, download the game on whatever console I use there and play it? Have I been spoiled by Steam's flexibility?

Used PS2 games, $1 at BestBuy. They're not shipping them so it looks like you'll have to check availability at your local store. Some good ones in there though.

Thad · « **Reply #792 on:** March 06, 2013, 10:45:11 AM »

Free shit on Google Play this week.

At least, hypothetically. Everything keeps erroring out for me. I assume due to demand.

Skyrim's on sale on Amazon: $25 for PC, $40 for PS3 or Xbox 360 physical media, $24 for Xbox 360 download.

Bethesda sale on Amazon:

Fallout 3 GOTY $12.50 PC, $20 PS3, $22 Xbox
Oblivion GOTY $12.50 PC, $17.25 PS3, $18 Xbox
Skyrim as noted in the previous post
Oblivion/Bioshock bundle $12 PC

Welp, I missed last month's sale on Arkham City for $14, but the closest we're likely to see in the near future is GameStop's current sale, $20 for a new copy of the GotY edition (Xbox/PS3). Or $19 used, if for some damn reason you think a $1 difference is a large enough incentive to buy used.

EDIT: And once you add in tax and shipping it's like $3 off instead of $10. Will check and see if they've got the same price in brick-and-mortar stores; short of that it's not worth it.

Brentai · « **Reply #796 on:** March 30, 2013, 10:16:25 AM »

Or you can buy it on Steam today, if you don't like your computer very much. Fwiw I've made it a point not to buy any version because of that.

Thad · « **Reply #797 on:** March 30, 2013, 11:31:36 AM »

Nah, I've already played through a borrowed copy of the Xbox game and I'm not going to start over on a new save.

A² · « **Reply #798 on:** March 30, 2013, 12:52:45 PM »

The box art of that is still hilarious.

Thad · « **Reply #799 on:** March 31, 2013, 01:34:30 PM »

Yeah. I remember seeing it at GameStop used and thinking "Well, it doesn't have the original packaging...wait, actually that's a GOOD thing." But then I realized it was Asylum, not City, so I didn't buy it because I already have Asylum.
