It's Amazon Gold Box Game Deals Day Again

Amazon.com loves gamers. More specifically, Amazon.com loves the amount of money we spend on games, and are rewarding us once again with chances to spend less money with a day of Gold Box deals.

Today's Gold Box deals come on top of this week's"> Black Friday game specials. So far we're looking at an Xbox 360 deal day, with DJ Hero taking the Deal of the Day position at $149, or 25% the normal $200 price tag.

Then we've got the Gold Box deals, revealed at regular intervals throughout the day. We've already missed $10 off WWE Smackdown VS. Raw 2010, but there's still time for 33% off Saw, plus five more games yet to be revealed. The next one, which goes live at 10am Pacific, is quite obviously Batman: Arkham Asylum. Then there's something about being the ultimate big game hunter, a limited-edition bundle of something, a young hero on a quest for justice, and most likely Star Ocean: The Last Hope.

Keep an eye on Amazon.com all day for the big deal reveals.

Amazon Has Cheap PS3 Games All Day Long

Looking for some relatively cheap, older-type PlayStation 3 games? Amazon's doing the PS3 deal day thing once again, kicking things off with a little Modern Warfare and seeing where things go from there.

Judging from the clues and the games already on sale, Amazon seems to be trying to move games that everyone who owns a PlayStation 3 have already picked up by now, but if you are a new PS3 owner, then you might want to take a look. As per usual, they have one Deal of the Day, and that is Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, available all day long for $29.98, or 42% off of their normal price.

Then they have the timed deals, which right now features a $40 copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, good for another couple of hours. It looks like that will be replaced by a game I am not able to decipher the clue for, with Guitar Hero: Metallica, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction possibly, and finally a chance to "Step into the ring with the Eighth Wonder of the World", whatever that may mean.

Amazingly helpful, aren't I? You smart folks will probably have the clues figured out before I even post this. Feel free to lord your superior riddle-solving skills over me in the comments section.

Amazon Gold Box Deals Pit Johnny Cage Vs. Iron Man

Mike Fahey — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 09:40:00 MST

Amazon is at it again with their Gold Box deals, today featuring a selection of Xbox 360 titles at low, low bargain prices. The Deal of the Day is Midnight Club: Los Angeles for $39.98, and then of course they have their timed deals, slowly revealed throughout the day with tiny hints teasing them as they go. Right now you can pick up a half-priced Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, with the deal coming up at 10PST being the fourth game in some franchise, which really doesn't narrow it down.

By far the best clue is for the 2PM game, "Johny Cage vs. Ironman". Iron Man is of course a Marvel character, so unless they released Mortal Kombat Vs. Marvel Universe when we weren't looking, someone messed up. At least Johnny Cage is indeed in Mortal Kombat - just not this one.
