[Strider Turbulence]

If it drops another $6-7, I'll grab it.

[Cmosfm]

Ah! But it's cheap this time, I thought 14.99 was a good deal. :)

[suko_32]

7.99 and I'll bite. Yeah, I'm being a little cheap.

[kevzik]

Damn it, I bought this last time...err amazin!

[Tsukento]

We all know it won't drop. The last few DotD's didn't drop and some were as cheap as can be. :(

[garfep]

Jeez, if it falls under $10 I'm definitely in, but I'm tempted even at $12.

[Strider Turbulence]

We all know it won't drop. The last few DotD's didn't drop and some were as cheap as can be. :(


Last week, SvR 07 on psp dropped to $15 a few hours before the next DotD came up.

[AnotherStereotype]

Jeez, if it falls under $10 I'm definitely in, but I'm tempted even at $12.

Agreed... great price, but I'll wait and see if it drops, even though I doubt it will.

[Raynre]

Crap, a very tempting offer, and just as I was going out to pick up some 360 games...

I can't afford all of this gaming goodness. :cry:

[G33]

On a somewhat related note, the previous DOTD (Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07) is still priced at $15.

[qbkorso]

What is this game even about?

[Raynre]

What is this game even about?

I assume something to do with stars... possible magical ones... :-k

[whoknows]

Is this game good?

And if I order it now and it drops in price do they automatically refund me the difference or do I have to ask for it?

[abhinav]

Man this game is cheap! I want to get it but on the other hand i no longer have any money. Tough choice.

[TahoeMax]

this is the...4th time this has been DOTD? Or just the 3rd?

[gunm]

Well, at least it's cheaper this time. Maybe this will drop under $10 and then I can seriously consider buying it, finally...

[Friend of Sonic]

I assume something to do with stars... possible magical ones... :-k
All... SIGNS... point to yes!

[mcgavin27]

not sure if I want to get it or not... maybe $9.99, I'll bite.

[psiufoxx2]

Wow, reading this thread makes me truly realize... we are all fucking cheap.

[InvaderZim]

$12 bucks is a good deal... you can see it for that when you are done with it.

[nikkai]

For those that actually bought it last time, how's the game?

Reviewers give a "meh" review. How about fellow CAGs?

[botticus]

For those that actually bought it last time, how's the game?

Reviewers give a "meh" review. How about fellow CAGs?I give it a hearty meh-plus. It's a solid 30-hour old school RPG. If you've soured on turn-based battles with the rest of todays hipsters, then you may not be interested, but if you're looking for something that's closer to an SNES RPG with some interesting battle mechanics, I say give it a go, especially for $12. I got mine at launch with GameRush credit for ~$15, don't regret it at all.

[RustyOrgan]

Bought it during the last sale - Still haven't played it. I would def. pick it up for this price...

[FAN8228]

very tempting... I might pick this up later in ther day, after hours of mulling it over :lol:

[lordwow]

"I'll buy this DOTD if it drops to (current price/2)."

[Tricky]

You can get a five dollar pricegrabber rebate for Magical Starsign.

[hero101]

Are there any good fillers for this? I'm might consider buy this if I get some free shipping.

[LiK]

ah, good price. i'm not sure why you guys need to wait any longer. this is pretty sweet, i'm gonna bite!

This should be stickied in any Amazon DOTD:

[djfp]

A decent deal...I can trade to Goozex for a solid 450 pts /$22.50 after a playthrough (plus I got free shipping through an Amazon Prime introductory offer which I promply cancelled!)

[forgrim]

out of curiosity, how do people find these DOTD's in amazon? there doesn't seem to be a link to a DOTD, so just wondering.

[thelonepig]

Is this game good?

And if I order it now and it drops in price do they automatically refund me the difference or do I have to ask for it?

You have to ask for the refund. They're really good about it though - just email customer service. They charge you for the price you paid then give you a refund within 3 to 5 days for the difference.

[xcoax]

wasn't this DOTD like two days ago? not that i'm complaining, because i actually do need to stop spending money. haha

[aoko]

Hmmm...I just got a DS, I might bite on this one, will see first if it drops cheaper. I have not played that many RPG's to tire of them yet.

[abhinav]

Don't bet on it, i think there is only one person in line for it and they have it on hold @ goozex.

[SteveMcQ]

[Wolfpup]

As Botticus says, it's a solid RPG. Surprisingly the stylus control isn't very annoying (VERY surprisingly).

I bought it back in November or December, and really enjoyed it, but I seemed to break it. It seems I did something out of order and couldn't progress any further-but no one else seems to have had that happen.

[somahead33]

I played way too many hours on this game before getting fed up and returning it to Gamefly. This game is really long and not worth the time investment. That being said, if it drops to under $10 I will probably buy it. Why? I don't know, that is just how I roll.

[SuperJedi]

Are there any other Good games cheap on Amazon, that's on Xbox, Xbox 360, Gamecube, DS or PSP right now that's under $20?

Or, GREAT games under $40?

[djduke316]

Guys, it's a pretty good game, and at $12 it's a steal. Stop procrastinating at BUY IT!!!

[icedout297]

If it drops another $2.. count me in!

[Don Chubo]

Thanks, OP. In for 1.

[Apossum]

What is this game even about?


who cares! It's cheap! Nevermind that it looks like it's geared towards tween girls.

[Ndolger]

I'm normally one who loves everything. I mean really...it's very hard for me to find a game where I can't get some enjoyment out of it. For God's sake, I found Lunar: DS to be OK, and that was a horrible game!

That said, I could NOT play this game for more than an hour. Perhaps it gets better, but the stylus control, lame graphics and music, and unbelievably slow battle system did it in for me.

I'm all for Earthbound style silliness but the characters in this game are absolutely bar none, the stupidest looking pieces of art I have ever seen and their personalities are just dreadful.

Normally, I don't like judging things only an hour in, but this was really the first time in my life where I absolutely could not bring myself to play any further. I kept reading reviews how great this game is, and I just couldn't get into it at all.

yeap the game is very long and sort of hard in the start. I put around 20 hours into it and still had 2 or 3 planets that i didnt even get to yet. sadly

children of mana then another game and then another game came along that i liked better and its probally been 4 months + since i played this meaning that i would probally ahve to start from the beginning to even remember where i left off at (very easy to get side track and have no clue where you need to go)

But for menus and battle, I didn't have any problem with it.

None?

yep none

[whoknows]

$11.99 is still too much....maybe if it goes to $11.98 I'll buy it...

[linkpwns]

I would get something else...but there is nothing else...

Eh, I'm gonna hold off

[briansraregames]

$9.99 now guys.

[Friend of Sonic]

I'll pick this up if it drops to 11.99.

[Don Chubo]

Since it went down the $2 since I ordered it, I called Amazon and the guy credited me back.
Thanks, OP. In for 1.

[kilp]

how do u buy it when it drops to 11.99 when its 9.99 now? :p

[wolverinefactor]

fudge. I'm going to bite this time. 9.99 is a great steal.

[aoko]

man if only I could get that free shipping, that kills the deal otherwise... meh will probebly save my money and spend it at Acen insted.

EDIT:
I preordered the harry potter book, If I cancled that order and reordered it with this would it count as free shipping?

[xbox_mole]

As long as the Harry Potter book has the wording that it counts toward the free shipping over $25 and the total of both would be over $25, then yes it would. :)

Just make sure that you specifically choose the FREE shipping on the checkout screen. The system won't default to that, and you'll have to choose that as well as ship when all items are available. So you won't get the game until Harry Potter ships.

That was a fast reply! Ya it qualifies, I ordered the deluxe edition (felt like it, besides its the last book) which is 39 dollars, used gift certificates, any potential problems with doing this?

[wolverinefactor]

I don't think so since it doesn't charge until shipped. I'm broke for a while so I ordered my copy of the game with the next 3 kingdom hearts graphic novels so it won't ship until Aug. YAY

[jimbodan]

In for 1. Couldn't resist it for 9.99, especially since I'm still on my free trial of Prime.

[GrilledWitOnions]

Finally bit since it dropped to $10. Fillers for free shipping:

Virgin Sucides DVD ($5.99)
Glengarry Glen Ross DVD ($5.99)
TMNT Triple Threat Don ($4.99)

I picked up Triple Threat Mike before for a filler item, so why not :D

[aoko]

I don't think so since it doesn't charge until shipped. I'm broke for a while so I ordered my copy of the game with the next 3 kingdom hearts graphic novels so it won't ship until Aug. YAY

Yep that worked! free shipping plus I had a 5 dollar extra credit for trying out unbox from a while back. They are shipping seperatly so I will get the game before the book, thanks for your help.

I figure at that price I will bite, considering its only 3.99 out of pocket for me after my gift credits it should worth the value.

[abhinav]

In for 1. Couldn't resist it for 9.99, especially since I'm still on my free trial of Prime.

Yeap me too. I just started my free trial of prime and for $10 there is no way i am passing up a decent DS game. NOW i want that Blitz the league (360) deal and i will be a happy man.

[xbox_mole]

As long as your gift certificates have not expired since you placed the order, when you cancel Harry Potter the GC funds will go back into your account and then can be used to apply them to the new order with HP and the game.

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

Hey this is $9.99 now... how do I get a $2 refund? I paid 11.99 for mine... who do I email at amazon or where do I go?

[Slim Gatsby]

Snagged one along with two DS Headsets for free shipping filler (me and my girl both needed one, and 9.99 each is nearly half retail plus tax).

[King Bahamut]

Hey this is $9.99 now... how do I get a $2 refund? I paid 11.99 for mine... who do I email at amazon or where do I go?

If you call them up you can definitely get the $2 back.

[lawdood]

Hey this is $9.99 now... how do I get a $2 refund? I paid 11.99 for mine... who do I email at amazon or where do I go?

Just contact customer service by phone or email with your order number. It's a piece of cake.

[FAN8228]

I'm in for 1. It's only $5 after the PG rebate.

[H22A]

$9.99 will do. Been planning on Paper Mario GC for a while, so added that one in for $28 or so total, free ship, no tax.

[T3kN]

I knew they were gonna drop it if I waited...hmmm geeze...I just bought Puzzle quest for $22. I think I got my fix with RPG's right now, but man only $10 is a good deal. Nah, eff it. ill pass.

[tuffcookie]

Wow this sucks... to think I paid $19 for it a month ago.

[jer7583]

eh, this one doesn't look so good.

[Monsta Mack]

I'd be all over this if it wasn't for shipping, although I am aware of the amazon prime trial. Was looking for a filler but I can't go over my budget anymore as I'm doing eBay and Liongames. Oh well, better luck next time.

[reibeatall]

I bit on it at $9.99 and joined Prime, so free shipping.

Yay!

[abhinav]

I'm in for 1. It's only $5 after the PG rebate.

What is this rebate that people have mentioned? I want $5.

[kevzik]

For those that just joined prime...its like a drug...brace urselfs!

[T3kN]

For those that just joined prime...its like a drug...brace urselfs!

Yeah I haven't went into prime at all yet. I'll end up spending hundreds of dollars if i do. Gota just be patient me says.

[TheMaidenOfSorrow]

At $10, it's tempting. >_> How much is shipping?

[sarausagi]

At $10, it's tempting. >_> How much is shipping?

Free if you can find $15 of filler..

You could buy a pack of 3 stylus and two copies of MS and get it all shipped free.

Otherwise, shipping will run you around $5

[SmellsLikeRandyMossGuy]

I love my prime membership

[TheMaidenOfSorrow]

Free if you can find $15 of filler..

You could buy a pack of 3 stylus and two copies of MS and get it all shipped free.

Otherwise, shipping will run you around $5I think I'll just pay the $5 shipping. I dont need anything. :D

[gunm]

$10 is almost tempting, but with just a couple of minutes left til the new deal, I'm going to pass (again).

This has been on special, what, 4 times already? Maybe next time it will hit that magical $5-8 and then I will finally cave in.

[whoknows]

After watching a gameplay video I'm glad I passed on this game. Definitely doesn't look like something I'd put a lot of time into.

[GrayWolf323]

uh this isn't dead, even with the new DOTD, Amazon still has Magical Starsign at $9.99

[JohnnyDrama]

very tempting, might add other stuff to get free shipping

[appleyum]

Ah! But it's cheap this time, I thought 14.99 was a good deal. :)
:-# I bought it when it was $14.99 :bomb:

[GrayWolf323]

this deal is STILL alive, wonder why Amazon is keeping it going though

[kiyoshi67]

Still not dead. Thanks OP- picked one up for the backlog!

[Slim Gatsby]

Okay, snoozers! Its back up to $28. Move along.

[shrike4242]

Emailed them yesterday about the difference in price from when I bought it as the previous DOTD, and they said they were going to give back my $3. Nice. :D

[GrilledWitOnions]

Emailed them yesterday about the difference in price from when I bought it as the previous DOTD, and they said they were going to give back my $3. Nice. :DI wonder if when we do this the customer service guys are just like "WTF it's $3 freaking dollars!" Of course I'd do it for a penny :P

[reibeatall]

I got mine today. Time to play it!

[GrayWolf323]

dang too bad it went back up, was gonna cancel and grab with mega man zx to get free shipping

oh well my other order was already processing anyways so this saves me trouble :-P
