[Greenboom98]

Wonder what they'll have this time... Last time I got Super Paper Mario. Wanted MP3.

[utopianmachine]

Nice. Thanks for posting. Somehow Super Smash Bros Brawl flew into my head, but I'm not counting on that.

[buckythekat]

Wii's maybe? like they did for Black Friday >_>

[utopianmachine]

Wii's maybe? like they did for Black Friday >_>

Cheapy's title is "high profile title," and a title is a game, from my understanding.

[trq]

Honestly, I'd bet you're right.

I have this. It IS badass. :)

I picked mine up for $50 shipped a couple years ago from Amazon. Worth every penny.

[utopianmachine]

For those three people with a Wii who don't own it....

No kidding. I've bought it but haven't opened it yet. Possible upcoming financial strife is making me keeping it sealed until I'm sure the financial hurdle won't come. But I certainly wouldn't mind a cheaper deal so I can return my yet-unopened copy. As, like you insinuated, it's a game every Wii owner must have.

[Armenius]

For those three people with a Wii who don't own it....

Do you forget the Galaxy sales? My cheapass is holding out...

[utopianmachine]

I have this. It IS badass. :)

I picked mine up for $50 shipped a couple years ago from Amazon. Worth every penny.

I bet it's really nice. I was always more a Calvin and Hobbes person. The complete collection of that I would pick up at a nice price-cut.

[rapsodist]

For those three people with a Wii who don't own it....

Looks like Armenius and I have checked in now. That leaves one more CAG to go. I could sure use a SSSB deal!

[Armenius]

I bet it's really nice. I was always more a Calvin and Hobbes person. The complete collection of that I would pick up at a nice price-cut.

Picked it up from Barnes and Noble a year ago for a little over $50. :lol:

[Morphine]

I hope is for PS3

[opportunity777]

Brawl would be super disappointing to me. I want a deal on Mario Kart.

[Hybrid5006]

"high profile" you say?

Well... nothing beats Jenga for the Wii!!!!

[kevzik]

Every amazon video game related gold box deal has be a fail for me so far. Could this be a win...finally?


Doubt it.

[scuba t]

Looks like Armenius and I have checked in now. That leaves one more CAG to go. I could sure use a SSSB deal!

That's me. I haven't bought it yet either.

[utopianmachine]

Or, as Reggie would say, "WiiFit...is it!"

[cleaver]

It's probably a game if title is in quotes, and it's probably a recent release. Super Smash Bros. Brawl has got to be the favorite.

[thegarageband]

Hell yeah Metal Gear Solid 2 for $1.99.

[Aegith]

For those three people with a Wii who don't own it....

Raise hand.

Edit: 4.

[guyver2077]

rock band... cmon

[Perfect*Ending]

CAG Platinum Membership for $50?
So if the Platinum Membership will be on sale for $50, will I be getting a price adjustment?!

I paid $100! I even got the title!

[NJMane]

God I hope its not for the Wii. There is only a handfull of decent games out for it and I own all of them. I will not hold my breathe though. After the last deal day disaster I just dont know.

[Rig]

With no time mentioned, and since the title will probably sell out in a minute or two, I'm not even getting excited about this.

EDIT: Wait. Maybe I'm thinking of something else. Are times listed for the Lightning deals?

[jeremywoods]

"high profile" you say?

Well... nothing beats Jenga for the Wii!!!!

LOL!!

but really tho im hoping for mario kart wii also >__<

[FuzyBaffy]

I think 10$ off a CAG platinum membership would be AWSOME! Cheapie here I come!

[daft07]

I hope it does not sell out in 4 mins.

[Shady3011]

If it's good, it will. If not, then it shouldn't.

[Greenboom98]

I hope it does not sell out in 4 mins.

Watch, It'll sell out in 4 seconds like some of the things last time.

[NolbertoS]

Throw us a bone, CheapyD and tell us approximately what time it'll be, whether it be morning or afternoon, some people gotta work and can't look up CAG all day unfortunately.

[sying]

GTAIV confirmed

[xmunitalp]

Smash Brothers 29.99

[kevzik]

GTAIV confirmed

Care to say how...or possibly, why?

[FoxHoundADAM]

Obviously the game has to be out already. I'm thinking R5V:2 or Brawl.

[richierich]

High profile game? I'm guessing Call of Duty 4 regular edition $29.99 since the new maps are gonna be out tomorrow as well, and the latest edition just came out yesterday.

[blarz]

Smash Brothers 29.99

I hope you're right... :D

[Tybee]

High profile game? I'm guessing Call of Duty 4 regular edition $29.99 since the new maps are gonna be out tomorrow as well, and the latest edition just came out yesterday.

Beat me to it. I think they'll be trying to unload all the original versions of COD4 with the Collector's Edition hitting.

If not that, Brawl seems the most likely candidate.

[urge26]

just got a wii need smash

[Scarface7]

MLB 08 for $30 would be nice.

[Jon Bon]

I say we should of kept this hush-hush with the Premium members ;)

:roll:

[KongaKing]

Hope this is posted early, or late. Dang work

[RelentlessRolento]

...? hmmm

I'll bite if it's brawl or galaxy.

[Apossum]

I say we should of kept this hush-hush with the Premium members ;)


It's over. let it die.

[Jerry-kun]

Already got Brawl and Galaxy is coming, so if it's either of them, good luck and hope you guys all snag a copy. :)

[lawdood]

I'll take a deal on Uncharted, been waiting for one forever.

[daft07]

April fools day the 2nd.

[Moose_Man]

Hell yeah Metal Gear Solid 2 for $1.99.

Lol!

[aznguyen316]

I guess next one will be 6AM PST, so 8AM CST for me.. damn I'll be asleep. shit.

[Hostile]

Are these deals suppose to be up now because I'm not seeing them. I'm guessing 3AM EST for me?

[SteveMcQ]

Are these deals suppose to be up now because I'm not seeing them. I'm guessing 3AM EST for me?Lightning Deals don't go up at 3amEST. They go up at 4 hour intervals throughout the day starting at 9am EST.

[mattstockton12]

I picked up The Far Side Collection. That is enough to make me happy!


So excite!

Tax return...dwindling...

[mayamayouidiot]

Something tells me it'll be something uber-disappointing like Dark Sector.

[adamantypants]

^ I think you're right.

And from what I've seen so far in this thread, I'm about the 5th or 6th Wii owner without Brawl.

[aznguyen316]

I'm tempted on that far side gallery damn.. is this cheapest price available anywhere?

edit.. F it I did it, got the far side too LOL, now I have Calvin & Hobbes set complete (individual books) and now Far Side set.. rock on!!

[lockey]

^ I think you're right.

And from what I've seen so far in this thread, I'm about the 5th or 6th Wii owner without Brawl.
Add me to that list about Brawl. Got 2 far sides. One for me. One for my brother.

[mayamayouidiot]

5 PM eastern
" Do you have what it takes to rule the roads?"

Hmmm...

Well, so much for all of you hoping for Brawl

[fifthcore]

Motorstorm? or Mario Kart Wii Pre-Order?

[Reverenddave]

I'm guessing Burnout Paradise. I wouldn't be surprised if it's around $40.

[Fuzi0n]

Burnout Paradise?

[monkeyman67]

my vote is for gt5 prologue, thats probably it, if not some other racing game.

[Lorddraco07]

Deal right now is a 500gb external hdd. Not to bad for $99

No idea what game it could be today though.

[edwardchu_333]

My Guess: Need for Speed Pro Street

[aznguyen316]

damn you guys beat me to it.. well yeah I'm guessing burnout blah! haha

are these lightning deals pretty good price? Like if it's $60 what's the approx price prob? $30??

[KiySeph]

Sounds like Burnout Paradise. Too bad I already have it.

[supraazn]

Thats 2pm for the west coast.

Like it matters, sounds like 99% its gonna be a racing game like paradise or something.
I dont want any racing or car games so looks like i dont have to lose any money tomorrow.... yay?

[Venomus]

unless its a pre-order for prologue or mario kart, its more then likely gonna be burnout (that game was pimped like crazy and im pretty sure they have some sort of overstock of it, due to less then spectacular sales)

[richierich]

damn you Amazon I do not want Burnout Paradise!! (Unless it's $20 or something lol)

[mayamayouidiot]

damn you guys beat me to it.. well yeah I'm guessing burnout blah! haha

are these lightning deals pretty good price? Like if it's $60 what's the approx price prob? $30??

Assuming it's Burnout, I don't think there's any way in hell it's less than $40 for a good-selling game that was released barely 2 months ago.

[freakyzeeky]

I have the game, and "ruling the roads" is something that Burnout Paradise has in-game. My bet is Burnout Paradise.

[supraazn]

highly HIGHLY doubt it will be a pre-order.
definitely looks like a overstock of paradise ... and i'm not even gonna consider it unless its dirt cheap.

[dhelor]

5 PM eastern
" Do you have what it takes to rule the roads?"

Hmmm...

Well, so much for all of you hoping for Brawl

It's clear then - this (Cruize Control II - Road Ruler) is what the deal is for. I mean, just read the description!

[gunm]

If it really is Burnout Paradise, I'm in. Of course, it could be the PS3 version which might defeat the purpose...

[Hostile]

Defeat the purpose of what?

I'm out, though. I got the game a long time ago and enjoyed it to death already.

[thePhildown]

Hmm. The only possible titles would be Burnout Paradise or Need For Speed: Pro Street. Unless they're doing a special pre-order deal, you could count GT5:Prologue and Mario Kart in to the mix too. Hopefully if it's one of the first two titles I mentioned, the price'll be lower than $30. ^.^

[graf1k]

It's almost assuredly Burnout Paradise as, like someone else said previously, "Ruling the Road" is one of many things to do in the game, and it's a pretty high profile series.

[dfo]

Nice, here's hoping for a good price on Burnout then. Wonder if it'll be 360, PS3 or both ...

[terutt]

Yeah...Burnout Paradise seems like the pick...going to set the over/under for the deal at $39.95

[Rig]

Bah. I would only be interested if it turned out to be a Mario Kart pre-order. (And I'm sure it won't be.)

[gunm]

Defeat the purpose of what?

Online is the biggest new feature in BP. And for that, I'd prefer 360.

Here's hoping they offer both versions so everyone can decide for themselves (and at least make the deal last longer inventory-wise)

[Zmonkay]

Actually, I'd bite on Paradise at 30. Sadly it'll prolly be 40, like most are saying.

[pete5883]

From the blurb it sounds like Burnout P, but Amazon and Sony have been buddy buddy as of late, so I'm leaning towards GT5P.

[KingBroly]

I wouldn't exactly call Burnout Paradise "High Profile". Gran Turismo is definitely high profile. As for ruling the roads, it does make it seem like a game involving real roads instead of race tracks, putting it in Burnout territory.

[regisphilbi0]

A Burnout deal would be fantastic. Here's hoping to a good 360 price.

[slidecage]

Heard its going to be GT5 for around 39.99 oir 29.99 on another site

[Denogginizer]

Maybe it is MotorStorm for dirt cheap.

[mwynn]

Heard its going to be GT5 for around 39.99 oir 29.99 on another site

GT5 is already 39.99.

[buckythekat]

this sucks, the video game deal goes up while I'm at work :-(

[mwynn]

[FoxHoundADAM]

Maybe it is MotorStorm for dirt cheap.
Because finding it for $20 now is too much?

[seanr1221]

this sucks, the video game deal goes up while I'm at work :-(

Same.

[plasticbathmonki]

Definitely a racing game, GT5 or Mario cart maybe?

[CheapyD]

I have the game, and "ruling the roads" is something that Burnout Paradise has in-game. My bet is Burnout Paradise.This.

[strongpimphand]

Burnout Is High Profile.....

:(

[NJMane]

Since CheapyD just confirmed it if it is Burnout Paradise and its more than $30 bucks its not worth it. I got my copy on ebay a few weeks ago for around $25 shipped.

And since when is Burnout Paradise considered "highly profile"

You have any ebay tips you're willing to share? I always put bids in on games and when I check back later on the last bid is like $1 over my threshold/max bid. It angers me to no end, so my expectations for deals on ebay run low.

Look for cheap buy-it-now auctions that just recently went up.

[twen]

If Burnout is indeed cheap, I may pick it back up, I need to finish the achievements.

[utopianmachine]

Look for cheap buy-it-now auctions that just recently went up.

That's exactly what I do myself. A while back I scored some Wii Points cards for $14.00 each, but you can only do it if you only check Newly Listed auctions for whatever you want. I'll bid on plenty of things that aren't popular items, but video games aren't one of them.

As Apossum said check Buy-It-Now some just want to get rid of games when they are done fast. Or as I do when there are no Buy-It-Now cheap I wait till the last second of auction and then bid (how I got Dark Sector Brand New Sealed for $40 shipped). That and if you pick unusual time of the end of auction it helps. If you are a night-owl time like 4-5 am helps becuase most people are not up bidding at that time. Or middle of the day when people are at work or school. Also a good amount of Luck helps.

[yukine]

I'd be in for a cheap Burnout Paradise.

A little tip I learned from an offhand line in the HBO series In Treatment is to bid during major events/holidays like the Superbowl, so you'll have less competition to deal with. ;)

Since CheapyD just confirmed it
I don't think he confirmed it so much as he just thinks Burnout's the most likely game.

[CheapyD]

[QUOTE=Amazon Gold Box] Upcoming Video Games Deal

Bucking Furnout. I'd be all over this...if it were a normal burnout game.

This is what everyone said when the demo dropped...then most people bought it, got hooked, and never stopped played for 3 straight weeks.

[utopianmachine]

...Mario Kart pwease? I can rule the roads in Mario Kart, right? Right? ....yeah... Anyway, I don't think Amazon would do a Lightning Deal on a preorder, would they?

[shrike4242]

It'll be the same DOTD we had yesterday, just to spite us.

[dyeknom]

Id pick it up for 15$................................... well.... maybe not.

[oasisboy]

Burnout Paradise was a joke to me. In the demo, I hated driving around trying to find a race or event. Whatever happened to "insert disk" and start racing or crashing? I have a feeling this game will be $40 today... big whoopi!

[Rouzhokuu]

Definitely hope it's Burnout Paradise.

Good chance for people to experience this great game. :)

[rodeojones903]

I agree.

[Shimrra]

I would consider Burnout Paradise if it is at around 20-30 dollars price tag other than that I'll pass. The game looks great but just the over feel of the game just isnt what I grew up with. Hopefully CoD4 or Assassin Creed will be part of this deal I'm still waiting for those games to be at available at a good price.

[bardockkun]

Looks like you eight people or so people are going to have to wait on a Smash Bros. Brawl deal then for another day. Already got Burnout Paradise, but Goddamn I would burn the Pope alive if it was a Mario Kart Wii deal for $30. BURN ALIVE I SAY!

[ragepower]

Nice, I LOVED the previous Burnouts, but I wasnt thrilled with the Paradise demo. If its 20 or less I'll pick it up. (I know, theres no way it will be that cheap)

[akashhhhh]

Burnout Paradise is a terrible game.

[heatdolphins45]

anything over $29.99 and I'll pass on Paradise... MAYBE for $35 I'll take it..

[argyle]

This is what everyone said when the demo dropped...then most people bought it, got hooked, and never stopped played for 3 straight weeks.

Exactly. I actually finished Burnout Paradise, which isn't something I can say for any of the others, and I still want to play more to pick up the other goals, etc. that I've missed. Extremely addictive.

[InuFaye]

Paradise on that Triple please.
im going with 39.99.

[dubbfoolio]

$20 is my breaking point on Burnout Paradise. I bought revenge and really liked it but for some reason I never got around to playing it much. It's on the backlog... and I sort of feel guilty buying another Burnout until I get my money's worth out of that one.

[raiser]

This is what everyone said when the demo dropped...then most people bought it, got hooked, and never stopped played for 3 straight weeks.

+1
Unless you ONLY played Burnout for CRASH mode you would be remiss not to give Paradise a try.
True that Crash mode is missing and the game is not perfect, my biggest gripe is NOTHING lives in Paradise.
But it is HELLA fun 1P as well as competetive or co-op up to 8 players.
Don't judge the game by the LAME demo. Buy the game (or rent it) and judge for yourself.
Easily 20 hours of entertainment for ANY racing fan, I'm pushing 40 hours myself.

[graf1k]

Yeah, I'm not understanding the BP hate in this thread. I was never a big Burnout guy but after all my buddies got it, I folded to peer pressure and picked it up and basically never played anything else for a couple weeks. The road rules and events are all pretty fun but the online challenges were easily my favorite part. Hopefully the planned DLC is all new online challenges. I've already done 349/350 originals.

[guyjr]

Man, I paid the stinkin' $54.99 at Amazon two days ago for BP... honoring my own deal post dangit. Fortunately, I think Amazon will honor any price break due to the lightning deal according to their own "Post-Order Price Guarantee". They say nothing about lightning deals being excluded, so hopefully whatever price it comes down to today (assuming IT is the deal in the first place!) I should be able to get a credit for the diff.

If that works I'll post back... this could be a new strategy for those who figure out what the lightning deal is in advance but don't have the time to wait around til it actually goes live... order immediately, then request a price match refund.

Dude. Showtime. It's essentially the same thing as Crash.

[Chase]

Burnout Paradise is a terrible game.

I wouldn't call it terrible, but will say it failed at its first attempt at an open racing world. It's a good idea - but they needed to tweak a few things (i.e., car speed) to make it work as one would have wanted.

Though, 15 dollars? Sure, I'll pick it up.

[(psp)snake]

why do u think its gonna be burnout?

lol u rlly think amazon will lower it to $15. wishful thinking

[Samus]

I hope it's a Mario Kart Wii preorder, but the odds of that are like...5%, if that.

[supraazn]

Because we are all hoping that Amazon will make us all look like a fool and throw us a curveball and the deal will be something else, something thats better.

[argyle]

I wouldn't call it terrible, but will say it failed at its first attempt at an open racing world. It's a good idea - but they needed to tweak a few things (i.e., car speed) to make it work as one would have wanted.

Though, 15 dollars? Sure, I'll pick it up.

Car speed? How so? Some of the cars are insanely fast, as in "can barely keep them on the road" fast. Of course the early cars you get aren't, but that's kinda the point.

[ElwoodCuse]

Burnout Paradise is completely awesome except for that fact there's no 2-player split screen

[grifter_mcgraw]

Burnout Paradise is completely awesome except for that fact there's no 2-player split screen

Well, that sounds somewhat purposeless, but very few games have split-screen, and this slightly annoys me. Also the one game I do have that supports it (Vegas 2) looks terrible in co-op.

[munkapotamus]

lol, in googling the clue, all i found were other deal sites talking about the deal, and trying to figure it out. Usually googling their clues will get the exact item since it's some line directly from an official ad for the game or item they are selling.

[Reck_Havoc]

Thought the demo of Paradise was pretty good.. but it just seemed like it didn't have the same sense of speed as the original Burnouts.

I also found the description of some weird casual shareware game too. not what I would call high profile though.

[Corvin]

Dude. Showtime. It's essentially the same thing as Crash.


Not. Even. Close. There is zero challenge in showtime.

Paradise is a great game. It's just not a great Burnout game.

[grifter_mcgraw]

Zero challenge? What about beating the road rules? Duh!

[neckfurters]

I've been wanting to get Burnout: Paradise since it came out. Hopefully that is the game and it's $30 or better.

[sleepy180]

Agreed. i will bite on paradise for $30. No diggity no doubt

[Monsta Mack]

Better be $25-$28 otherwise no buy for me. eBay price is $30 for a complete unscratched copy and new copies aren't much more.

[the_punisher]

I'd bite for $30. eBay always has shipping fees anyway, and i get 2-day shipping on amazon FREE. Besides, if you look at my sig, you'll see i've been doing pretty well on amazon lately :)

[slidecage]

come on

it would sell out in 1 min flat LOL

Don't know which ebay you're looking at, used copies are going for about $40 on there.

The real, open world premise with lots of awkward turns just doesn't work with Burnout-paced racing games.

[Chase]

And on second thought, given the Game of the Year version's recent release, I change my selection to Call of Duty 4.

[Gadgetron]

Check the Gamecrazy thread for this.

[Monsta Mack]

Completed auctions. It doesn't matter anyways. It's still a risk buying on eBay and thats the general reaction here. Last there was Spikeout Battle Street for $9.99 as a deal posted here when cheap copies were all over the place, but a few people were willing to pay the extra $ so they didn't have to deal with ebay.

[hhhdx4]

did people read the clue?

[FrankieFiero]

Only 5 more minutes 'till half the people on here are complaining that it came out for the 'wrong' system.

(where wrong = not the system YOU wanted - I'm not choosing a side here)

[akashhhhh]

Yeah, I'm not understanding the BP hate in this thread. I was never a big Burnout guy but...

There you go. As someone said in another thread, the more you like Burnout, the more you'll hate Burnout Paradise. I wanted a racing game, not GTA for cars.

[opportunity777]

It's Burnout Paradise for 360.

Wow, that price sucks.

[Homerun17]

Wow you guys guessed right......
Burnout Paradise 360 for 40...
Booooooooo

[supraazn]

OH the surprise... not ...

Paradise 360 for 39.99 people!

[neckfurters]

$40? Close but no cigar.

[callmesteam]

darn... 10 bucks cheaper and i would have bit.

[decon]

Boo...no PS3 version and not for under $25.

[Pure Apathy]

LOL @ $40 for BP

[Darklighter]

Lawl, no PS3 version.

[Thunderscope]

BOOOOOO! I wanted the PS3 version

[utopianmachine]

*little dreams of Mario Kart Wii flutter in the wind*

[plasticbathmonki]

And it's Burnout Paradise for $39.99. Not a good enough deal for me, but good I guess for those that really want it.

[NJMane]

Not that great of a deal. Go to ebay and get it cheaper. I am disappointed with Amazons video games "deals".

[Exodus.Lang]

Hm, nothing for me since I only have PS3 and have BP for that.

[blackhole82]

$40 and only 360... pass

[Halo05]

Thanks for the heads up but at $40 I can certainly afford to wait. Plus I'd rather get the PS3 version in case I feel like playing online.

[seen]

$40?? Come on amazon, $29.99 is a sale price, not such a lightening deal after all.

[souljah420]

burnout paradise - good call

[ragepower]

Thanks for the heads up Cheapy, gonna pass at 40 bucks though.

[capsule]

Ehh woulda bit for 30 but 40 is too much. It'll probably be 40 everywhere in less than a month.

[shytface]

Ride the lightning.

[sixteenvolt420]

if it were for the ps3 rather than the 360, i probably would've bought it.

[Crizzletin]

$40?!

[kell]

Wrong price, wrong system.

[pun123]

same here wanted PS3 to use with my wheel, I'll wait, plus playing GT5P right now anyways.

[Chris in Cali]

I probably would have bit at $40 for the PS3 version, but not the 360.

[Gadgetron]

my reaction "oh its burnout...for 40.00" thanks for the heads up cheepy, but amazon let us down.

[soyverde]

Thanks for the heads-up CheapyD, too bad (for me) it was 360 only. :cry:

I'm sure I'll find it cheaper anyway

I've never had a problem with any of the many games i've bought from ebay, maybe i'm just one of the lucky ones.

[richierich]

wrong price, bad deal

[Gadgetron]

Check the Gamecrazy thread for this.

alas there is no longer a gamecrazy in Ma but thank you for the pointer I saw the thread a few days ago.

[Monsta Mack]

7% claimed already. Sad.
$30 I might have said fuck it and buy it, but $25 was the magic ticket.
Still can't believe this is $40. It's a sale but a weak seal at that.

I had no problems buying on eBay never had in my eight years of buying on eBay. But others have been screwed, it's case by case.

[sixteenvolt420]

All ya have to do is read peoples comments, don't buy from new sellers, and also don't buy from anybody who has switched their ebay i.d. in the past 30 days, oh yeah, and always pay with paypal.

[BillyBob29]

$40 isn't a bad deal but it also isn't a can't miss deal. This game will be $30 somewhere in the next few months and I can wait until then.

[aznguyen316]

no go for me.. no 360 and $40 is not worth it.

[freakyzeeky]

I don't understand the hate this game gets. Have most of you guys even played the full game? The demo doesn't do this game justice AT ALL.
Yeah, it's a bit overwhelming at first to play in such a vast and open world, but then you get used to all the shortcuts and you finally 'get' how to play this game with shortcuts and all.
Yeah, I loved the earlier Burnouts, but Paradise has to be one of my favorites. Now if only the cars exploded upon collision... 8-)

As for the price, I paid $60 for it, and I thought it was worth every penny. So $40 is not bad at all IMHO. :)

[dubbfoolio]

wow a price we've seen repeatedly over the weeks. how exciting!

[shotcaller88]

wrong system and wrong price for me as well =/

[Scarface7]

Would've thought about it had it been the PS3 version. $40 saved I guess.

[Bravelionheart]

Not much of a "must-have" deal. I wasn't impressed enough with the demo to buy it. Thanks anyway, CheapyD! :)

[yesokyesok]

i was expecting a bigger price drop. i'll wait. racing games always hit the bargain bin fast.

[Tybee]

I would agree that this is a "high profile title," and one I wouldn't mind picking up....But not at $40. It'll be $20 soon enough.

[oscargrouch]

If it were PS3 and it gets down to $20 I'm on it. Want to do all my racing on one system. GT5 kinda made that choice for me...

[Ronin317]

Thanks for the heads-up CheapyD, too bad (for me) it was 360 only. :cry:

I'm sure I'll find it cheaper anyway


I'm personally waiting for this to clearance at Target. I'm quite sure it's coming...

[SynGamer]

I'm actually selling my copy on eBay for $34.99 if anyone is interested. Free shipping if a CAG buys it.

[Damian]

alas there is no longer a gamecrazy in Ma but thank you for the pointer I saw the thread a few days ago.
Are you talking about eastern Mass or did the one in Springfield close recently?

[Van]

I'm not so sure it's gonna be less than $40.00 anytime soon, and I see a lot of people saying it will be. May I ask why you think that. $40.00 for a fairly new release sounds like a deal to me, although I didn't buy it because I got my copy for free. But if I hadn't I would have bit.

Oh, I guess you guys are talking about the 360 version. Can't comment on that, I only have a PS3.

[52club]

I picked up this game for $36 (sealed/new copy) last week. The demo really didn't do it justice. For example the sandbox play allowed the developers to add new ways to earn cars. Once in a while a random car that you can earn will wiz by you when you are not in a specific challenge. If you can take out that car it appears in your junkyard/garage. IMO this game is well worth $40 if you've liked past versions of burnout.

[Tomeeboy]

I couldn't get into this game... It feels like driving around in Grand Theft Auto or Crackdown (granted, with better graphics and driving controls), but without the ability to get out of your car and shoot somebody every once in a while to liven things up. I liked the Burnout series much better when the tracks were separated and the game followed some kind of structure. I hope they go back to that in their next installment.

[gunm]

I don't get it either. I don't see this game dropping to $30 MSRP any time soon. Maybe by this summer it'll go $40, where many halfway decent 360 titles settle into if they do any kind of permanent price drop.

And I certainly haven't seen any national sales on this game, despite all the Internet negativity.

Anyway, I opt'd in for one. $20 discount and no tax/free shipping works for me.

[joshnorm]

Pretty decent game at a decent price. A buddy told me to pick it up a while ago so I did just haven't played it yet.:lol:

[cjsbug]

I'm in for one.
Just rented it last night and had a blast.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers!

[PawnTakesKing]

I'm in. I've been waiting on a deal for this game for a while.

[nuttyturnip]

I hope this went through correctly. It showed up as $39.99 in my cart, but then when I went to confirm the order, it said $59.99. The invoice that was mailed to me says the order grand total is $44.99, but in the breakdown it doesn't show any discount. The order summary on Amazon shows only $59.99.

Looks like you forgot to take the free shipping option.

Also, on your order summary email you should see "Lightning Deal -$20.00"
If you're looking at your order summary on the amazon site, it will be labeled as "promotional certificate."

Hope this helps

[Slim Gatsby]

So, it was Burnout Paradise and $40. I don't mind that I was in class and missed this.

[Fishercat]

I was tempted for Burnout, but 40 is just too much for me to pay. The 10 I paid for the Burnout on the XBox (I forget which one, it got great ratings) used was great, and I would have gone for 25-30, but I knew Amazon wouldn't put it that low.

[mechachrome]

Good deal, but with the hype, maybe we were hoping for better.

[jrutz]

Only 27% took the deal, that's a pretty bad ratio. Incidentally I decided to buy Burnout Revenge from the forums for $14, rather than pay $60 for Paradise which people seem to be over with.

The invoice in my email says "Grand total: $44.98" at the top. In the details below, however, it shows $59.99, with free Super Saver Shipping, but no mention of "Lightning Deal" or any indication that $20 was subtracted.

[Hostile]

The fault should be on Amazon for not making a better deal, in my opinion. When you've seen CoD4, Assassin's Creed and Bioshock all for $40 at one point, $40 doesn't look like a great deal for an aging game. I will recant that I enjoyed Burnout Paradise even when I bought it for $51, but it was my first Burnout so maybe I'm not so jaded. There were a ton of minor annoyances but I had about 30 hours worth of fun.

Currently playing Burnout Revenge right now. It's too bad the graphics are worse, occasionally gets really dark in the shortcuts, still has the same shitty camera and the thing I hate most is how achievements are dealt out.

[Zmonkay]

woulda hit it for 30. I can wait, I still have the (imho) supperior Revenge, or even better, Takedown, to keep me satisfied.

[akashhhhh]

Are people still playing Revenge online? Man, I need to get back into that. By far my favorite 360 online game.

[(psp)snake]

yay, good i missed it. it was a stupid game anyway.

[phantomfriar2002]

Agreed as well. No Crash mode either...it's not a disaster but it's a definite disappointment and I'm glad I rented it first. Hopefully the next Burnout will go back to basics.

[Hostile]

I'm not seeing why Crash mode is so loved. I just did Exploding Bay 20x over and can't get 5-stars.

Sounds like it isn't my type of game. I really don't like racing games where it is one open city like Midnight Club. I was thinking of selling my unopened Burnout Dominator for PS2 and picking up Paradise instead but it sounds like I should skip Paradise and keep Dominator

[dfo]

Or sell Dominator and pick up Burnout 3: Takedown (best in the series IMO) for cheap.
