    I have $60 in video game credit to Amazon which I will be happy to spend if they have good deals this black Friday. If I'm on the East Coast, does anyone know what time I should be online to catch all the solid early deals? I'll be looking for some game deals and a deal on a BT Headset.

    The Rock Band 2 was a really great deal - been waiting for that bundle to come on sale at some point during this week, and I'm pretty sure this was that time.

    ...but I'm out of town.

    Here's hoping I get back before their third delivery attempt when they send it back.

    Though they are the samaritans I deserve, they are not the samaritans I need right now.

    So I'll hunt down deals without them. Because they are not my samaritans. They are silent guardians, price watchers, covert knights.

    To be honest I'm usually good with deals but lately I've been lazy. However you, and many kind folk have assisted this one's laziness and found me good deals. You have found the best of all. So you...uh well I can't really give you anything except my humble congratulations and thanks...

    Hey there's a reason I'm looking for L4D2 for cheap. I'm damn near broke, I can't reward anyone with things of actual value lol. Maybe cookies but Idk if shipping cookies is what you want. Anyway thanks again.

    @JustJake: Not just Ghostbusters - the Slimer edition, which comes with a Slimer sculpture, an Ecto-1 keychain, and "Gamer Graffix Skins," whatever those are.

    And it's not just the 360 version, either - the PS3 and Wii bundles are on sale for the same price.

    I bought Modern Warfare 2 on Friday last week, and this morning I got a promotional credit of $10 towards any other game sold and shipped by Amazon.

    I buy games too infrequently to know if that is a standard thing or not.

    @winshape: Check the expiry on that credit, too, if you're an infrequent games shopper. I think it's only good until January 31, 2010.

    Is Amazon skipping the 'Customer Votes' holiday promotion this year? They typically have a tier that's nothing but consoles, but I haven't seen anything about it.

    In reply to Modern Warfare 2 Is Amazon's "Biggest Selling Pre-order" Video Game
    I really just don't get why this game is getting so much coverage. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I have anything against it, but I don't see what sets this apart from any of the dozens of other real-world military-based FPSes. Maybe I'm just getting too old, but I don't understand why anybody would be excited about this game when it's coming out in the midst of games like Dragon Age or New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

    The absurd amount of coverage that Bayonetta gets is annoying, too, but at least that game has a unique visual style and some big-name credentials behind it. #modernwarfare2

    @minneyar: Valid point and something the gaming media needs to take a look in the mirror and ask themselves.

    The simple answer is that multiplayer has become more important than single-player and COD4 changed the FPS-experience much like Gears of War changed the 3rd-person shooter and shooters in general. The hype was based on how radically COD4 changed both the single and multiplayer experience and we're now seeing that the single-player element of COD4-2 is not as big of a deal this time around except for controversy, but that it probably will be important for multiplayer (MP) even with the kick in the teeth to the traditional PC multiplayer crowd.

    Personally, I don't really care about MP FPS anymore. That pretty much ended with Counter-Strike many years ago and there are too many games these days that need attention in order to keep the skills up enough to enjoy MP FPS in any game, even if its the king. Yeah you can jump into a game here and there for a little tea bagging treatment, but it just isn't relevant for me and many other people. Even on Gamefaqs, the latest poll

    [www.gamefaqs.com]

    is saying that almost half of the poll responders don't even plan to buy it at all. #modernwarfare2
