Looks like it's another video game day at Amazon.com. The Deal of the Day is Midnight Club: LA 360 for $39.98. The hourly specials might be fun to guess. One of them has to be MK vs. DC. Don't know if these are going to be console specific all day since the DoD is a 360 game.

6AM PDT Clue: I feel the conflict within you ($29.98 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360)

10AM PDT Clue: 4th time around is the best ($29.98 - Soul Calibur 4 for Xbox 360)

1PM PDT Clue: Watch out for predators ($12.98 - Prey for Xbox 360)

2PM PDT Clue: Johny Cage vs. Ironman ($44.98 - MK vs. DC Collector's Edition for Xbox 360)

5PM PDT High-def roleplaying ($34.98 - Tales of Vesperia for Xbox 360)

7PM PDT A modern day incarnation of Grease

Also, the Daily Deal is: Buy an Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Bundle 2008 with 120 GB hard drive and get a free copy of The Last Remnant and a 4,000-point Xbox 360 Live card.

Well, 6 has to be Forced Unleashed.

10 must be COD4, or maybe Soul Caliber IV?

2 of course is MK vs DC.

Not sure on the others, although if 5PM is Fable II, I'll have to try to grab it.

Johnny cage is MK but Ironman is NOT DC so this might be a fighter in general

1pm is probably Far Cry

5pm Fallout or Fable

7pm Lips ?

Quit pointing out my idiocy.

I also looked at the roster, and Johnny Cage isn't in MK vs. DC either (at least not on the roster list at wikipedia).

If 1PM is Far Cry 2, I'll have to grab it. I can probably only get one, and would rather have Fallout 3, but won't take the chance that is the 5PM one.

1PM might be the previous crappy Far Cry: Instincts Predator. Or it could be a Blu-ray movie of Predator.

Also, 6AM $29.98 - Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Xbox 360

I think it's videogames, not movies, which eliminates the BR.

Also, Instincts Predator came out in March, 2006. That would hardly be a good deal, IMO.

Doesn't have to be new stock. Could be a deal to someone for $4.99.

Pretty sad for Star Wars that it didn't sell out at $30 and is only at like 33% claimed. Most of the time these games sell out within half an hour max. I remember the PS3 day when games like Uncharted were gone in about ten minutes.

Thats because Amazon had it for $19.99 last week. Why buy the game for $10 more when it could have been had for cheaper. I missed last week, but now I will not buy that game for more than $20.

Soul Caliber I am tempted to get though. I am not much of a figher gamer, I have VF5 and it is hard to do all the moves. If Soul Caliber is the same, then I might just have to pass.

It was like ten seconds. The only reason Uncharted lasted longer than the other games that day was the site got absolutely hammered.

I was really hoping for GTA IV instead of Soul Caliber IV.

I ordered Force Unleashed but I had a 10$ Amazon gift card from purchasing COD4 that I used on it so it was 19.99 :)

If Fable 2 or Fallout 3 are up there for 29.99, I'll buy those today too. This is great, my collection of unopened games is really growing now!

If 1PM is Turok then I'm going to puke a little in my mouth.

I doubt that Fable 2 or Fallout 3 will be $29.99, more than likely it would be $39.99 or $44.99.

SCIV is a lot more masher friendly. the only difficult moves are the combos and critical finishes neither are required to win. I personally am boycotting namco from now on thanks to vader-gate.

Don't get your hopes up, Fable 2 and Fallout 3 are both brand new games and selling very well. This stuff is meant to clean out old stock.

Amazon doesn't do their 30 day price adjustment anymore right? Or am I thinking of somewhere else?

bryansj
11-24-08, 04:14 PM
Prey went quickly. Not sure why, maybe they only had five copies. I did just realize that there is only an hour between Prey and the next deal so I'm pretty certain that they had very few copies to dump.

No, amazon doesn't do the 30 day price adjustment anymore. You can ship back your previous item for a full refund.

There will be some disappointed children on Christmas when they unwrap that copy of Prey.

Prey was/is at newegg for $9.99. I just got my copy in the mail 2 hours ago. I ended up passing on both Soul Caliber and Star Wars. Both tempting, but there are so many good games currently, that my threshold for those games will be $20.

Its MK vs DC universe 'special edition' for $44.99. Someone at Amazon doesn't know that Iron Man is Marvel.

hey guys slightly off subject. i am planning to get xbox 360 pro when a good price comes up but right now and only for today amazon is offering the xbox 360 elite which includes a free copy of The Last Remnant and a 4,000-point Xbox 360 Live card.

i didnt want to spend $400 but is this too good to pass up?

I can't see myself being interested in the last deal unless Grease means something you would put on Gears (of War 2).

Not really off subject since it is in the OP. I just didn't bother to put in a link. Looks like a pretty good deal if you wanted that game. However, Dell has been having some pretty good deals but you may have to pay tax and shipping. This one wouldn't have those issues...

Not a bad deal, but last week they had the Pro model for $299 and included 1600 MS points and Lego Batman. I personally would have gone for this deal if the game was something else (Fallout 3 or something like that). If you really want that game, then it is a good deal, if not, then it is OK deal.

I almost said that, but I figured they couldn't have possibly made a game out of it, so I assumed it was Lips.
