Play-Asia's Late Easter Sale Is Hopped Up On Savings

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 15:20:10 MDT

Mega importer Play-Asia is slashing prices on just about everything with its Easter Egg sale. Everything (not released in the past 30 days) has been reduced 20% or more, with a handful of exceptions. The better news? You don't have to be an Japanese import enthusiast to save, as plenty of Play-Asia's stock is domestic and Asian stuff. That means you can snag deals like Ouendan 2 for $24 as well as recent releases like Devil May Cry 4 for well below retail. You could even secure one of those DualShock 3's for a song (read: cheaper than US retail). Yes, you can even get a deal on The IDOLM@STER.

Toys, movies, music! Aaaah! This may read like an advertisement, but I promise this is genuine excitement. There's plenty to look at but make sure you make your decision by March 31. Just don't grab my copy of Senko no Ronde and Sega Ages 2500: Galaxy Force II before I get my credit card out. Thanks.

The Great Crackdown Markdown

fdemarco — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 13:20:00 MDT

Kotakuite Michael N. sends in this humorous and rather sad photo from his local Target. It seems that this particular Target had a surfeit of copies of Crackdown and is now offering them all up on an endcap for $15 a piece. Michael claims he checked and each and every one of those is a copy of Crackdown. Even for a large retail outlet like Target this seems like a ridiculous amount of copies to have of one game. It's also a bit of a shame considering I really liked Crackdown. It was one of the first games I got for my 360 and I thoroughly enjoyed it. On the other hand, it's a perfect opportunity for those of you who haven't tried it out yet to get it for a cheap price.

Lost Planet 360 on the Cheap at Circuit City

fdemarco — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 11:00:00 MST

If you have been lagging on checking out the frozen landscapes and giant bugs of Lost Planet now is your chance to do it cheap! This week Circuit City is listing Capcom's Lost Planet (360 version) for the low, low price of $19.99. According to the pages I checked, the offer is only available through the website and not available for in-store pick up but you may want to check your local store just to make sure. I must admit I am way behind the tip on this game, but I just got a copy for the PS3 that I am anxious to try out. My skills with shooters have improved vastly since BioShock so perhaps I can get through this one without too much embarrassment.

fdemarco — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 08:00:00 MST

Target's weekly ad has some pretty sweet deals this time around. The Rock Band Special Edition bundle for both PS3 and 360 is going for $149 (in store only) which is about $20 off the usual price. Also featured is a $40 gift card with the purchase of the 40GB PS3 and a $10 gift card with the purchase of one of eleven different games. Here's some of the highlights:

Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, 360)

Call of Duty 4 (PS3, 360)
Halo 3 (360)
Mass Effect (360)
Lost Odyssey (360)

If you're feeling like a shopping spree you could pick up a couple games and use those gift cards to put towards that Rock Band bundle bringing the price down to a comfortable $129.

The Arcade Flyer Archive Liquidating Collection

fdemarco — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 19:00:00 MST

A few months back I mentioned that The Arcade Flyer Archive, an amazing collection of vintage and new arcade flyers, would be liquidating their collection. They've already been through one portion of the sale which we unfortunately missed out on. But never fear, there's still plenty more to be had. The flyers cover Arcade Video Games, Pinball machines and other types of arcade amusement machines. Everything you need to know about the sale including the list of available flyers, prices and shipping can be found at coinopvideogames.com. These guys have put a ton of hard work into cataloging this amazing collection so help support them by buying a few flyers. They're going cheap!

Sam's Club Climbs Aboard on the Smash Bros. Bandwagon

fdemarco — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 17:00:00 MST

At the recent Sam's Club yearly management meeting it was revealed that the bulk/discount retailer will be begin taking pre-orders for games, launching the new process with Super Smash Bros. Brawl. They will also be hosting midnight SSBB launch events at every Sam's Club store that will include not only the game but each store will have around twenty Wii's on hand as well. The game will retail there for under $44.

This is a new thing for Sam's Club so it will be interesting to see if people will actually attend a midnight launch there as opposed to going to a game store or other brick and mortar store. We have also been informed that Sam's will soon be stocking Rock Band at just under $150 (something tells me it will be 149.99) which is about a $20 cheaper than most places. If you're a Sam's Club member, keep an eye on their website as they will be adding more options for pre-ordering SSBB and other titles in the future.

Cicuit City: 20% Off All DS games

fdemarco — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 13:00:00 MST

This week's Circuit City ad is advertising 20% off on all DS games. They claim over one hundred titles are available, but as we all know from actually shopping these sales, the ones actually available in the store are rarely near the advertised numbers. Some of the highlights include Phantom Hourglass for $27.99 and Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All for $14.99. In the same ad they also list Wii's in stock so head on over to Circuit City for a Nintendo shopping spree.

Amazon Drops Wii Zapper to $20

fdemarco — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 13:00:00 MST

Amazon.com has dropped the price of the Wii Zapper with Link's Crossbow Training to mere $20. Of course if you prefer your gun peripherals more gun like, there is also the Nyko Wii Perfect Shot Gun for $14.99 although that one doesn't come with a game. Whichever route you decide to take (if any) you will need to add an item or two on to your order to take advantage of the free shipping.

This Week's Best Buy and Circuit City Deals

fdemarco — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 10:00:00 MST

For the five of you that haven't purchased Halo 3 yet (if you like that sort of thing that is) be sure to check out this week's Best Buy circular. From today until February 3 they are offering the hugely popular FPS for $37.99 which is a $22 savings off of the regular listed price of $59.99.

Circuit City's weekly ad offers a $10 gift card with a pre-order of Devil May Cry 4 for either the Xbox 360 version or the PS3 version. A $10 gift card is also available for pre-orders of the 360 and PS3 versions of Turok. For a full rundown of all the weekly ad deals, check out CheapAssGamer.com.

One Best Buy Was Selling $299 PS3s

Mark Wilson — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 13:40:32 MST

Most of us wouldn't expect to walk into our neighborhood Best Buy and snag a 40GB PS3 for $299 (or any PS3 for that matter), but a lucky few who visited the Sterling, VA location were able to do just that earlier this month. And not only did a lucky few score $299 PS3s, but they were also able to snag 5 free Blu-ray movies with the offer, too. But before you get your SCREAMING PRICE DROP VOICE all warmed up, know that a sign marked the offer as a manager's special for that location only. Also know that the Easter Bunny isn't real, and we're not so sure about Santa, either.

Is Top Xbox 360 Gamer Selling His Account?

Mark Wilson — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:00:50 MST

Most of you have probably heard of StripClubDJ, even if you don't remember why. His real name is Gary Dudley, and he's Xbox LIVE's top ranked player with 245,825 gamer points...who also happens to also be banned from the service. And, according to one of our tipsters, he's trying to sell the account, soliciting the sale in two separate messages:

I received this message from StripClubDJ: Tag for sale "I cant sign onto live but it still works and it is #1" if you know anyone that is interested tell them to contact me. And this message from InfamousDJ (his unbanned account): Tag for sale stripClubDj "I cant sign onto live but it still works and it is #1" if you know anyone that is interested tell them to contact me. U can play offline and update score threw banned window.

So what would you pay for the top ranked Xbox LIVE account on the open market? Buying gold in WoW, or even a character, makes some sense since it will open up new gameplay opportunities. But owning an account one can't even play online? It sounds pretty pointless.

Target Offers Assassin's Creed on the Cheap

fdemarco — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 16:00:00 MST

If you missed out on Assassin's Creed when it first came out and have been looking for an excuse to pick it up, this might be your chance. Target is offering Ubisoft's latest for $38 on both Xbox 360 and PS3. This deal is not available online so you'll have to haul your can down to the store if you want to get your hands on this one. Also available at the same price is that other Ubisoft game, Raving Rabbids 2. Hmmmm, rough choice...

Still Alive Album Gets Price Cut

Brian Crecente — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 15:13:00 MST

We've already mentioned that The Orange Box has gone on sale, but Valve just emailed to point out that the sound track for their game, including the hugely popular Still Alive, is also on sale over at Amazon.com now.

You can pick up the song as a single for just $0.89 or the entire album on Amazon for just shy of $8. Besides the Steam sale, Valve says that GameUK, Best Buy and other retailers have their game on sale right now for all platforms. So get out there and get to Orange Boxing.

GameFly Year-End Sale

Mark Wilson — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 11:40:31 MST

GameFly has their Year-End Sale going on now until January 4th on all their preplayed (when did that corporate euphemism for "used" enter our dialect anyway?) games. Their prices are generally pretty solid, especially if you're a GameFly subscriber and get their free store dollars now and again, but this sale definitely has some deals to keep in mind. You could do a lot worse than picking up Forza Motorsport 2 (Xbox 360) for $14.99 or Worms: Open Warfare (PSP) for $9.99.

All PopCap Games Are 50% Off

Mark Wilson — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 13:20:52 MST

While PopCap games aren't my personal vice (I much prefer snorting coke off pleather escort boots), there's no question that they are a force in the PC/Mac casual gaming market. Now as part of a holiday sale, they've dropped the prices on their games by 50% until January 3rd. A kind of neat option they're offering is an emailable gift certificate. And if you can get over the looking like a thoughtless jerk to your spouse part, the certificate allows the recipient to choose from all 48 of PopCap's games with the option to play demos before purchase. I'd order one up for my mom, but since I gave her Puzzle Quest last Christmas her life has never been the same.

Toys "R" Us Offers Buy 3 Get One free

fdemarco — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 16:00:00 MST

Kotakuite Jose sends in news of the most recent Toys "R" Us game deal. In this week's circular they are advertising a Buy 3 Get 1 Free deal on their entire stock of video games. The sale runs from tomorrow, Dec. 16th through Dec. 24th. This is a great opportunity to fill in some of the gaps in your collection or pick up some games for holiday gifts. The offer is also good online so you won't have to wade through the crowds of stressed out parents and unruly ankle biters to get to your favorite titles. Sure, it's not the greatest gaming sale that ever was, but free is free and that's all good in my book.

This week's Toys-R-Us Sunday circular is boasting a huge sale on all video games. Buy two games and get one free. In case you were curious about the asterisk at the end, it refers to a note at the bottom of the page that states the obligatory "The free game will be the one that's the lowest price of the three." The sale is available online and in store and goes from today Oct. 14 until next Saturday, October 20. My guess is that as the week goes on, the pickings will get slim, so put on your running shoes and warm up the credit card, we're going shopping!

Arcade Flyer Archive To Liquidate Collection

fdemarco — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 09:00:00 MDT

If you have followed any of my writings over the past year, you'll know I am a huge proponent of The Arcade Flyer Archive. They are the inspiration and source for my weekly Arcade Flyer Art Saturday feature and are doing a great service for the gaming community at large by archiving these bits of our arcade past for the future. However, things like this don't pay for themselves and in an effort to keep this amazing site going, owner Dan is going to be selling off a portion of his massive collection. Starting in 2008 a large number of these flyers will be going on to the market for a measly $1 a piece. The sale pieces will include flyers from all three archives spanning pinball, video games and amusement machines. All of the details including shipping info, etc. can be found here. I will be sure to post a reminder once there is a solid list and the flyers actually go up for sale. So, start saving your pennies and you too could own a piece of arcade history!

Simple 2000: The Japanese Hardware Chart

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 13 Sep 2007 20:40:01 MDT

It's already been an intense day for followers of video game hardware and software sales, but we've got one last set of figures to drop on you. This week's Japanese hardware sales charts, courtesy of Media Create, help to illustrate the difference in sales trends. As is the new norm, Nintendo reigns supreme in Japan, but the stark contrast between Xbox 360 sales in the U.S. and Japan is harshly illustrated when one compares Media Create sales to NPD.

In general, hardware sales were down across the board, with Wii hardware selling at an all-time summer low. Hardware sales for the week of September 3rd to the 9th are below.

Nintendo DS Lite - 77,488
Wii - 29,088
PSP - 15,564
PlayStation 2 - 13,360
PLAYSTATION 3 - 13,248
Xbox 360 - 1,286
Game Boy micro - 428
Game Boy Advance SP - 122

Xbox Live Fire Sale

Brian Crecente — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 15:00:35 MDT

Larry Hyrb points out that Microsoft is slashing prices on four Xbox Live titles starting Sunday and ending Monday night. The Live fire sale cuts Small Arms, Zuma Deluxe, Gauntlet and Dig Dug prices in half starting 12:00 a.m. GMT on Sunday, September 2 and continuing until 11: 59 p.m. GMT on Monday, September 3.

Hit the jump for the list of games, description and prices.

Small Arms - 400 Microsoft Points (normally 800 Microsoft Points)
Easy to pick up but hard to put down, "Small Arms" is a frantic multiplayer action game with the feel of an arcade shooter.

Zuma Deluxe- 400 Microsoft Points (normally 800 Microsoft Points)
Explore more than 20 realms in Adventure mode and put your skills to the test in this fast-paced puzzle game.

Gauntlet - 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 Microsoft Points)
The original dungeon crawler lets four adventurers explore and fight together as a warrior, valkyrie, wizard, and elf.

Dig Dug - 200 Microsoft Points (normally 400 Microsoft Points)
Experience the fast-paced action of this quarter-cruncher from 1982 as you take control of Dig Dug himself and vanquish Pookas and Fygars.

Fatal Fury, Cyberball, And Special Sales

Mike Fahey — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:30:27 MDT

Labor Day weekend is so close I can taste it, and it tastes like half-price Xbox Live Arcade games! From Saturday the 1st at 5PM PST to 4:59PM PST the next day, Small Arms and Zuma Deluxe will cost you only 400 MS points, while arcade classics Gauntlet and Dig Dug will go for a mere 200. The sale was announced alongside next week's Live Arcade Wednesday titles, Cyberball 2072 and Fatal Fury Special. While better Fatal Fury games have come and gone, I cannot begin to count how many quarters I've spent over the years on Cyberball's robotic football goodness, and the promise of multiplayer over Xbox Live just sweetens the deal. Both will be available starting Wednesday for 400 MS points. A fine price for excellent football without any of the dog cruelty guilt.

HD DVD Player Gets Another Price Drop

Brian Crecente — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 09:59:23 MDT

NeoGafer Alcibiades points out that Best Buy has dropped the price of the Xbox 360 HD DVD drive... again. Now the thing is hovering at a penny under $150. Plus you can tack on that Toshiba deal for five free HDDVDs. Too bad Best Buy's website is already listing the 360 peripheral as sold out. Let's hope that's temporary and not the sign of a disappearing act by one of the HD video formats.

Kim Phu — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:00:53 MDT

Halo fanatics out there who can't wait for the Halo limited edition and the Master Chief helmet to come out in September can start gluing their eyeballs to the computer now. One lucky seller got their hands on the helmet—supposedly from a Microsoft employee—and assures potential buyers that it is 100% authentic, made by Bungie and complete with serial number. Obviously, this item doesn't come with the game, because if it did, I'm pretty sure the bids would far surpass the $166 mark it's accrued since its listing. The auction ends this Sunday, just in time to say hello to July.

Square-Enix To Open US Merch Store

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 22:40:41 MDT

The sheer amount of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest crap one can purchase in Japan is simply astounding. From weapons replicas to jewelry to flatware to toys, there's little that Square-Enix won't churn out for their flagship franchises. In desperate need of a Dirge of Cerberus lighter? Just a few clicks away.

North American gamers will soon be treated to a Square-Enix store that they, too, can purchase licensed stuff from. Will Western gamers finally be able to get their hands on dozens of Dragon Quest slime toys? Are my dreams of finally owning a Slime spoon about to become reality? Squenix isn't forthcoming with the details quite yet, but watch this space.

If you want to be clued in to when the Square-Enix USA online merchandise store will open, register your interest at the link below. Just don't get between me and my Slime silverware. Michael McWhertor

Circuit City Sale

fdemarco — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 09:00:00 MDT

Circuit City is never really a place I think about going for games, but they do seem to have a lot of sales on them. This week they are running a special with all games $19.99 sold two for $30. They also seem to have Wii's in stock although by the time you read this they will most likely all be gone. Also available is Mario kart DS and New Super Mario Brothers for $26.25 each. As an added and rather humorous bonus. If you purchase a copy of Tomb Raider Anniversary, you get a free TR beach towel. Now you can finally fulfill your fantasy of getting on top of Lara Croft without resorting to dressing up that blow up doll in your closet. Flynn De Marco

Phantasy Star Universe Ambitiously Expands

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 21:40:49 MDT

Sega is expanding the Phantasy Star Universe... universe with Ambition of the Illuminus, an expansion pack due to hit this fall. The add-on will be released as a download for Xbox Live and as a standard retail product for the PlayStation 2 and PC.

It's the standard online expansion affair, new weapons, new areas, new armor, yadda yadda yadda. One of the more interesting additions are the new casino lobbies that allow players to gamble for rare and unique items. Sega is also adding to the game's single-player mode with the addition of new missions.

They also released nine new shots of Ambition of the Illuminus, which you can check out in our gallery. Anyone still go their Hunters License active? I haven't touched Phantasy Star since PSO for Dreamcast. Michael McWhertor

Follow Up: Target $24 DS Game Sale

fdemarco — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 15:00:00 MDT

I just got back from my local Target where I went to investigate the sale that I posted earlier. Upon arriving in the electronics department, I saw that there were only a few games with the $24 sign on them so I went to the counter and asked which games were actually on sale. I was told that only the games with the signs on them had the reduced price.

So, I trekked up to the front of the store and grabbed a circular which clearly said "All DS games $29.99 and up" and brought it back to the electronics counter. After handing it to three different people to get their opinions on it the genius employee finally took my advice and took a scanner over and started scanning prices. Lo and behold, the circular was correct! I managed to get Rocket Slime, Wario: Master of Disguise and Kirby Squeak Squad. My roommate walked away with the best deal of the day which was Final Fantasy III for $24. The usual going rate for that game is $35 to $40 so it was quite the bargain.

So, if you are heading out to Target, just know that while the sign may not be on it all games $29.99 and up are on sale and the price will be in the register when you go to make your purchase, if not, just wave that circular in their face. The sale will be going on from today until Saturday, so good luck and happy hunting! Flynn De Marco

Take-Two Considers Sale

Brian Crecente — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 10:09:10 MDT

Take-Two today announced that they may be selling the company in light of a squabble between shareholders which centers around a move to push out the current board.

In a brief statement released today, the company said they have postponed their annual meeting scheduled for Friday, pushing it back to March 29, so they would have time to "review the proposed actions of the shareholder group and also to evaluate alternative courses of action."

Among the possibilities is the "possible sale of the company."

On March 7, shareholders with 46 percent of the company announced that they planned to overthrow the board and management due to five quarters of losses. Specifically, new CEO Paul Eibeler and CFO Karl Winters are in their sights, according to Bloomberg.

The group of dissidents include the OppenheimerFunds which owns 25 percent of the company.

Bloomberg, citing analysts, lists Electronic Arts as a potential buyer of the company.

This is the latest in a long line of fiscal, shareholder and stock problems that have plagued the company since 2005. Hit the jump for the wordy press release. Brian Crecente

New York, NY - March 19, 2007 - Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) announced today that the Company has postponed its annual meeting scheduled for March 23, 2007 until March 29, 2007. The meeting will be held at a time and location to be designated in a revised Notice of Meeting, to be issued later today. The current record date of February 26, 2007 for the annual meeting remains unchanged.

The Company also announced that, in light of the expressed intention of a shareholder group to act by written consent under certain circumstances, the Board of Directors has set a record date of the close of business on March 29, 2007 for the purpose of determining the shareholders entitled to act by written consent.

The purposes of the Board's actions are to provide additional time to review the proposed actions of the shareholder group and also to evaluate alternative courses of actions that could potentially be presented to the shareholders, including a possible sale of the Company. An additional objective of the Board is that shareholders, including the shareholder group, not take any action that would preclude an evaluation of any alternative that the Company might develop and that could potentially be presented to shareholders. There is no assurance that any specific alternative proposal will be forthcoming.

Circuit City's UMD Sale

Brian Crecente — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 14:00:06 MDT

Circuit City appears to be clearing its stores of some UMD stock with a pretty decent deal. This week you can buy any of 16 pre-selected UMD titles for $10 each. The weekly sales brochure says there are 16 titles to choose from but only lists 12.

The Giant Best Buy Sale

Mike Fahey — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 10:40:53 MST

Best Buy is clearing its bloated shelves of older video games and passing the savings on to you! A list that has been circulating for awhile lists some real gems for prices as low as $2 starting today on select PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, 360, PSP, DS, and even GBA games. Your chances of getting any? Slim to none at this point.

I went to my local Best Buy earlier today to find that if any of the games had indeed been there, they weren't there now. Those that were there that I found weren't marked down at all, even upon checking at the register. I've been bopping around several forums and read about some people getting lucky, but for the most part the games they are clearancing are either off the shelves already or snatched up by people who were there earlier in the morning.

For history's sake at least I'll post the whole list below. Any Kotakuites hit the sale and come away a winner? Michael Fahey

Best Buy: Sit on PS3s, Sell Wiis

Brian Crecente — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 12:00:07 MST

A friendly Best Buy mole shot us a copy of the retailer's latest employee newsletter, The Retail Inside. In it, Best Buy reminds their blue and yellow worker bees to hold Playstation 3 consoles for the Dec. 31 Ad.

All stores will receive PlayStation 3 (60 GB, $599) for the Dec. 31 ad (ad minimum 25). Product will be labeled with orange stickers that say "Hold for ad." If your store received 70 or more units, hold 40 units for the ad and release the rest. Some stores have sold many units and may be at risk of not having the minimums. If your store received less than 70 units, hold 32 units for the ad and release the rest. Additional PS3 software and accessories will arrive throughout the week to support the ad.

The insider goes on to say that stores will also be receiving shipments of Wii this week and that blues are to get them to the floor and sell them ASAP.

Employee purchases of either console, by the way, remain a no no at the chain. Brian Crecente

GameStop Can't Sell Wiis Either

Mike Fahey — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 15:40:34 MST

GameStop, just like Best Buy, is also sitting on their Wiis until this Sunday to help spur sales during the last full weekend before Christmas. An anonymous tipster who works for GameStop informed us that the memo came down Monday via the internal 'Store Informer' email system.

Having my own special connection at GameStop, I called my store to verify this. Yep, they've got 6 in stock that they aren't allowed to touch until the 17th. The store isn't allowed to tell anyone they are there, or that they will definitely be there on Sunday, pretty much forcing employees to lie to every Wii hopeful who walks through the door.

This really makes no sense to me. Seems that the whole point of retain is to sell things you have to people that want them. My guess is they know the information will get out and they want people piling into the store hoping for a console, perhaps sticking around to buy something else in case they don't snag one. Are we part of their marketing strategy? Spooky. Michael Fahey

Microcenter Xbox 360 Sale: Round 2

fdemarco — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 14:30:14 MST

I know you're probably still crying in the corner because you didn't take advantage of Microcenter's $100 off a 360 sale last month. Well, turn that frown upside down my friend, because they've decided to do it again! From Dec. 10 until Dec. 24th, Microcenter will be offering the both versions of the Xbox 360 at $100 off the regular price, in store only. You're $100 off will come in the form of a mail-in rebate, so prepare to pay full price at the register. Flynn De Marco

GameStop has Three PS3 for Sale

Brian Crecente — Mon, 04 Dec 2006 10:42:13 MST

Yes, I mean that literally.

Hit here to buy one of the $1,000 20GB bundles.

The forced bundle includes some good stuff and some real crap:

This Sony PlayStation 3 20GB Most Wanted bundle includes the following items:

* Sony PlayStation 3 20GB Game System
* PS3 Wireless SIXAXIS Controller
* Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom
* Madden NFL 07
* Ridge Racer 7
* NBA 07
* Marvel Ultimate Alliance
* Resistance: Fall of Man
* Resistance: Fall of Man Official Strategy Guide
* 1 Year Product Replacement Plan
* 12 Month Game Informer Subscription

I thought someone once told me that forcing people to buy a warranty was illegal? Maybe not. I know forcing someone to buy Untold Legends should be. And what the hell's the deal with the one-year magazine subscription? Why don't they just throw in some N-Gage games as well? Brian Crecente

Xbox 360 for $350

Brian Crecente — Fri, 30 Jun 2006 11:06:36 MDT

Dell's running a special over on their site right now, offering the Xbox 360 premium box for $360, another $10 off at checkout and free shipping. Sounds like a deal to me.

You can also save a few dollars here and there on a slew of 360 accessories like the wireless network adapter ($10 off), the wireless controller ($5 off) and some games (several $6 off.).

Clearing stock for a new sku, price drop in prep for the coming of the Wii and PS3 or just a sale? Who cares, it's a cheap(er) 360. Brian Crecente

Make PS2 Games... CHEAP

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 06 Jun 2006 13:21:57 MDT

Pssst! Sony's got a deal on PlayStation 2 development tools. Subsidiary SN System is lobbing a third off the price immediately. SN's Andy Beveridge says, "As a company, we feel one of our greatest strengths is our ability to listen to and deliver what developers are asking for." (*cough* cheaper PS3 development costs *cough*) This must be the game developer equivalent of when the supermarket lowers the price on day-old bread. Brian Ashcraft
