Just no.

[apokalipze2]

Worst deal of the day ever :lol::lol::lol::lol:

[VernlovesMaria]

Yes... ultimate low for deal of the day. Vern am cry. :(

[ProtoEXE88]

Is this... the DotD?

[Ma12kez]

:rofl:

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

What the hell am I looking at? lol

[neonglow]

There's always another day.

[rmb]

Worst dotd would be wii farcry, but this 1 sucks butt too!

[twen]

How could that be the worse DOTD, when at the very least, it was a VIDEO GAME. This ain't even a game. It's an accessory. Or a poor excuse of one.

[dack]

Dooods! What are you guys talking about!

That thing is a MONSTER,!! It has 800 DPI!!! That's like...triple my Razer Mouse!

[twen]

But....would you use this for anything where that'd matter?

[dack]

You could use it for Tony Hawk....

Man that'd be fun.

[garfep]

wtf

[mr ryles]

interesting.

[mr ryles]

I think I want to order one of these just for the fact to say I have a mouse that is shaped like a gun.

[xcoax]

seriously, how is this even a deal in the videogame section? its not even a game! at least the plug and play thing was a game...

:joystick:

[JohnnyDrama]

....wow
:rofl:

[menikmati]

This thing got me into CAL-M in CS.

[SamuraiINC]

Wow... I probably wouldn't want one if it was free. Probably be a hassle installing it :joystick:

[Medium_Pimpin]

Sweet RE4 for PC is just around the corner!

[mietha]

wtf
I concur...

[graf1k]

balls.... :fridge:

[Mogambi]

huh? what is this....wow.

[DCGCPlayer]

Egads.

[Monsta Mack]

Sweeet...!

FOR ME TO POOP ON!

[~Spirit-of~]

I can't believe this hasn't been posted on the front page yet.

[boyward]

I'm not much of a PC gamer so at first glance I thought this was a lightgun for the PC. But it's actually just a mouse, right? Okay...

[GeorgeCostanza]

This is about as bad for a deal of the day....

[Draekon]

I thought it was a Light Gun when I first loaded it up this morning too. Then I read mouse and just couldn't help but laugh. :P

...Don't think I'll be touching this one ever. ~_~

[Karyyk]

Hell, I'm in for one, if for no other reason that it's an oddity and had an MSRP of $69. The reviews for it really aren't half bad...

[espionage]

err...it looks like this thing is definitely selling. it's #1 on movers & shakers right now - jumping from sales rank 5,008 to 193 with a 2,494% increase in sales...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_mte/104-8335472-1210302

What is going on here? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

[Walt Jay]

You've got to be kidding.

[Dragonsbane]

I have one of these things, bought from gogamer forever ago for like 5 bucks

[Pharrell1]

they must have really digged deep in there pile of crap bin to pull this one out.

[qbkorso]

What the fuck! is this even a game?

[Karyyk]

I wonder how many people would be complaining if the DotD was for a Wiimote or wireless 360 controller for $25... Gaming accessories are good too, just maybe not this one (still giving it a shot).

[opportunity777]

I wonder how many saps will buy this.

[fieldkillah]

I bought one years ago, it's really not a bad mouse and it's a neat thing to have next to my computer.

[lilboo]

Is this the second accessory we've seen as DOTD?
This and the PSP case?

Accessories aren't bad for the DOTD, just should be something .. good?

[Techsticles]

Anyone who is buying this thinking it will improve their game are going to be disappointed. I bought one of these about 2 years ago when EB was basically giving them away. This mouse is nothing more than a novelty item, it's difficult to use properly since the mouse must be kept on the table top. It also wears out your arm and wrist easily since you must keep them straight in order to have any real accuracy or freedom to move the thing around. This product would be amazing if you could lift it up & just aim & shoot like a light gun, but that's not what it is... it's a novelty mouse.

[unjust]

If they gave away free one of those Logitech G25 Racing Wheel's that list for $269.73 with that mouse I would do it! :lol:

[Lou-Dawg]

I'm really tempted to buy this just to have fun with it...but unfortunately I think I am too cheap.

[xdl]

That is 10 pounds of suck in an 8 pound bag. Using that on a regular basis would be like trying to play racing games with the RE4 Chainsaw.

[lilboo]

If this also drops in price like most DOTD have done..anyone gonna pick this up for like $3.99/$4.99?

[Abalistar]

err...it looks like this thing is definitely selling. it's #1 on movers & shakers right now - jumping from sales rank 5,008 to 193 with a 2,494% increase in sales...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/movers-and-shakers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_mte/104-8335472-1210302

What is going on here? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!
I'm guessing people are buying it on pure WTF?! alone.

I'd buy one, but I'm too poor to even throw that much money away.

[sallyballs]

What the hell is this crap? Someone at Amazon needs a good punch in the face...

[xraytd]

I'm in for one. Makes a nice filler item for my preorder of Road Warrior HD-DVD for free shipping.

[supershammy]

I've only read positive reviews, and one reviewer even went as far as to say it made him a better shot. Apparently, the sensor is towards the front of the base, so you can turn by twisting the gun rather than moving side to side, which makes turning incredibly fast. If this drops, I am definitely picking one up out of curiousity.

[abhinav]

This looks kind of interesting? Maybe?

Way more fun than just clicking on targets with a mouse.

[imacgod]

Yeah, I don't remember seeing any particularly bad reviews of this product. In fact...

http://insidemacgames.com/reviews/view.php?ID=523

It is a novelty item that does work and then some.

Sounds like you CAGers are just overreacting.

[Liquidrmx]

I also don't see any bad reviews for this,all positive.
Have anyone here actually tried this(Ecpecially towards the people complaining).

Anyway I might buy this as a filler item, I'm interested in trying this out in some games.

[joeq70]

My friend bought one of these for me as a present because I thought it looked sweet. I can honestly say that this is a solid product. It takes some getting used to, but I was able to compete just as well, perhaps better at FPS games. I wouldn't recommend it if you have a whole family using your computer because they'll likely be quite annoyed and complain about it (mine did). The only reason I don't still use it is because the wheel broke.

[johnnypark]

Who makes these shitty things? Who buys these shitty things?

[gobz]

If you want something fun to plug into your computer buy this:

Check out that vid!

[Zoglog]

picked it up just cuz I have amazon prime. Picked up 2 in fact. JOHN WOOO STYLE WOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Graystone]

interesting.

It actually is. Nothing I would buy but very interesting concept.

It's like turning your pc into an arcade shooter.

[velvet396]

just wth is it and why is it a 40,000% increase in sales? over 24 hours ago had it only sold 1 unit?

[Photomotoz]

I'm really tempted to buy this just to have fun with it...but unfortunately I think I am too cheap.

Yup, me too. I honestly think it is kinda cool but I am broke. I mean if you sit back a little your arm would not get tired and it looks cool too.

[Graystone]

This is about as bad for a deal of the day....

http://www.overstock.com/?PAGE=staticpopup&sta_ID=6695&track=bmmg_games_deal


We used to have a thread for Overstocks deal of the day. But the "deals" became so bad we stopped posting it/them.

[jazzman]

Where is the new DOTD?

[DeXTuX]

Where is the new DOTD!! I hate seeing this stupid gun!

[djsandman]

This dotd was so popular they decided to run it twice in a row.

[DeXTuX]

only way this thing can get sold lol

[gunm]

Wait, this is the deal of the day again? Or is Amazon just running behind?

Two days of suck in a row would be lame-o.

Edit: They must have ass loads of these crap pistol mice....

[hiamiyumi]

are you serious? What are they thinking?

[bassec]

No its not two days in a row. They just haven't updated.

[djsandman]

No its not two days in a row. They just haven't updated.

I don't know about that, they've updated the gold box deal for the day.

[mxpowar]

Yea, Amazon's got so much crap to sell, they're having trouble deciding what to put up for DOTD.

[bassec]

It's sometimes taken them all the way till 4 AM EST to update it, so, trust me, it won't be the same.

[Zoglog]

I'm surprised so many people were bitching over a $8 deal. That's like less than a plate at most eateries around here

[Friend of Sonic]

I'm surprised so many people were bitching over a $8 deal. That's like less than a plate at most eateries around here
So I suppose a plate of pig shit for four dollars most be a stellar deal not worth complaining about then?

[turls]

Maybe its like a woot off where they won't move to the next item until the previous one clears. Just kidding, they've been late before as discussed.

[rile0161]

Still up at 5AM EST. The Friday sale and gold box are both updated :-/

[mr ryles]

So I suppose a plate of pig shit for four dollars most be a stellar deal not worth complaining about then?

If you're in the market for a plate of dookey it sounds like a good deal. Really it depends on the quality of the plate it is on.

[FFBlitzace]

Well, it was such a big hit....."Back by popular demand" I guess.....

[mietha]

Because it was so great the first time...? WTF?

[roymustang]

Lol, I remember trying out the pistol mouse at some small booth inside the kentia hall a couple of E3s ago. It was pretty lame.

[Eh? What?]

Right now it's #12 on their videogames bestsellers list, so plenty of people are actually buying this thing. Maybe they're going to leave it as the DOTD until they completely sell out.

[lilboo]

Not for nothing but if they are gonna be a bunch of smart asses and run this 2 days in a row, then they should at LEAST drop the damn price!

[woodcan]

Yeah, it's still the Steal Of The Day...sorry DOTD.

Pretty lame that it's not even wireless and sad that there is actually a customer shot.

[moojuice]

I'm thinking of getting this, just don't know if I should pull the trigger or not...

*RIMSHOT*

[Wolfpup]

I can't believe this is the "deal of the day" AGAIN!?!

[bassec]

Yeah sorry guys. This has never happened before...that's why I was so postive. But it's really really REALLY lame.

[Kendro]

Why does such a shitty product garner a thread 5 pages long? I came into this expecting some major glitch like buy a MonsterGecko and get a Wii for $8.

[MrNEWZ]

Why does such a shitty product garner a thread 5 pages long? I came into this expecting some major glitch like buy a MonsterGecko and get a Wii for $8.

2 days as the same DOTD in a row (which is a first) + the usual complaining daily (*2~!) + more complaints because it's the worst yet + more because its the same deal.

Not that I don't agree with the negative comments. ;-)

[shrike4242]

We could only be so lucky.

I moved this thread into the Graveyard, because I didn't think this would be the DOTD for two days running. :shock: Had to move it back, because it's still the DOTD. :roll:

[PyroGamer]

FUcking aWESOMe.

[tuffcookie]

You must be joking........

[twen]

I demand we sticky this if this is the DOTD tomorrow *shot in the face*

[AnotherStereotype]

Haha... they finally updated the deal of the day, this one's dead.... sweet.

[twen]

Awww.... thanks for giving up my dreams.

It's still at $7.99 tho, it would make great filler for todays DOTD *rimshot*

[Zoglog]

So I suppose a plate of pig shit for four dollars most be a stellar deal not worth complaining about then?

sure, nobody's forcing your dumbass to buy it.

Why is this in the deal graveyard. The Deal still exists...
