Amazon Gold Box 4/11 - Currently: MLB 2K8 $25.99

[msu89dawgs]

I got Ghost Squad from Amazon around Christmas last year for $19.99, along with RE:UC for $34.99 and TC4 for PS3 for $49.99. GS is a very good gun game, especially if you get the Nyko Perfect Shot Gun to use with it.

[mitch079]

Got one, applied the Atlus $5.00 off code on it, free super saver shipping still applied = $10.99

[souljah420]

agreed - i just got 2 perfect shots, those things kick ass

[Hoffgod]

Ghost squad for 16. I think itll be cheaper on ebay. opinions?I bit. $16 is a good price for Ghost Squad IMO and Amazon w/ free shipping beats having to deal with eBay.

[emperordahc]

What the heck? Can I not order two at once?!?

[xeno]

wow %44 has been claimed already O_o,,,*orders*

[souljah420]

how did u apply an atlus code to this game? is it a generic code or connected to your account?

[SackAttack]

Got one, applied the Atlus $5.00 off code on it, free super saver shipping still applied = $10.99

I'm curious how you got the Atlus code to work on a Sega title.

[Nana Komatsu]

Totally in for one, I have been meaning to get this game before it became hard to find.

[souljah420]

1 per order

[ratzombie]

$15.99, I ordered one. Just the right price for it, I think. Crazy how fast it's selling out, they should of released it at $19.99 and they would of seen crazy first week sales figures.

[genfuyung]

I got 1. Wish Id of known about whatever the Atlus code is though.

[emperordahc]

You can order 1 and get free shipping on it; just did it. HOWEVER, it also ties it into my account so that I can't even order a 2nd on a second order!!! ERAGH!

[souljah420]

true - can anyone shed some light on this supposed atlus code? is it generic or linked to specific accounts? also, how can you use it on a sega game?

[eliter1]

In for a copy of ghost squad. I loved the arcade version so i'm hoping this one is good

[crazytalkx]

Got it. Just a sweet point of a price for a game that has 71% on GameRankings

[genfuyung]

Great price on Ghost Squad. I just ordered a Perfect Shot from gamestop.com this morning too.
Was the perfect shot in stock when u ordered it? Nyko.com had them in stock yesterday for all of 5 minutes and I managed to get one. Only took me a month of checking websites like a madman.

[genfuyung]

Wow GS is at 65% and mario and sonic is gone.

[eliter1]

You can order 1 and get free shipping on it; just did it. HOWEVER, it also ties it into my account so that I can't even order a 2nd on a second order!!! ERAGH!

Hence the one per customer

[tuffcookie]

whats the atlus code?

[utopianmachine]

I'm wondering if the reason the game is going so quickly is because they had very few available to offer.

[GenDV138]

Ordered 1 copy of Ghost Squad, was waiting to find it for under $20 so this is great!

[decrot]

true - can anyone shed some light on this supposed atlus code? is it generic or linked to specific accounts? also, how can you use it on a sega game?

ATLUS code means ATLUS game.

[luvmysegadc]

Thanks, OP. Just jumped on "Ghost Squad".

Now if I can just get my hands on the Nyko Wii Perfect Shot....

[genfuyung]

Thanks, OP. Just jumped on "Ghost Squad".

Now if I can just get my hands on the Nyko Wii Perfect Shot....

keep an eye on nyko.com. They were in stock for a while yesterday.

[falcinator]

I'm not so sure it's so much a price issue as a market saturation issue. GHIII for the Wii was the best-selling version of the game. Likely, so many folks already own the game that there aren't as many folks leaping on this one.

For Nintendo, first and second party games have always garnered more interest. This sale being entirely third-party (with the exception of the Deal of the Day being Mario & Sonic), it just doesn't shine the same way to a lot of buyers.

Technically, Sega is not a Second Party Developer....they're not exclusive to Nintendo Hardware. For that matter, ARE there ANY Second Parties anymore.....???

On an unrelated note of interest.......

B-O-O-M.....!

http://wii.ign.com/articles/865/865945p1.html

Mario Ball......who's surprised to see THIS coming.....? I wonder if Camelot is developing........

[n64ra]

yay! This will help my Perfect Shot and Wii Zapper get used.

[emperordahc]

Woohoo! This ships for free by itself since it's actually a coupon that's dropping the price! $15.99 shipped kicks ass!

I had to create a new account to just order a second copy. At least I got it!

[utopianmachine]

Gamestop is allowing you to order the Nyko Perfect Shot, despite that it's backordered.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

I ordered one!

[fairtrade]

Picked up GHIII. I am teh weak. :cry: Thankfully I already got Ghost Squad at Target for $10 way back when it was clearanced.

And on a side note damn you, Amazon, you raised the price back up on BW2 just when I find something else I want? Fuck you!!! :bomb:

[fatez]

these are almost all gone! :o

[spoo]

Thanks, OP. Just jumped on "Ghost Squad".

Now if I can just get my hands on the....

You could order a Nyko Wii Perfect Shot. (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10833)

[daroga]

Ghost Squad for $16 is fantastic.

EDIT: sheesh, it's gone from 81% gone to 97% gone in like 5 minutes.

[fatez]

You could order a Nyko Wii Perfect Shot. (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10833)
that knock-off gun doesnt seem to be the one. :x

[LinkinPrime]

You could order a Nyko Wii Perfect Shot. (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10833)

Is it the same one Amazon was selling? The packaging looks different.

[PR Mega X]

Wow, I was a little late, and when I saw on here that GS was $16, I thought for sure it'd be sold out by the time I got to it. 98% claimed, guess I got it just in time :)

Edit: And 20 seconds later, they're gone!

[shrike4242]

You could order a Nyko Wii Perfect Shot. (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.10833)Nice almost-lawsuitable knockoff.

[emperordahc]

Oos!

[decrot]

that knock-off gun doesnt seem to be the one. :x
its not like nyko is that great of a company anyways. they make knock offs of 1st party acc.

its like a knock off of a knock off

[utopianmachine]

And gone. 26 minutes isn't terribly fast, but it's the only game that's actually sold out of these Lightning Deals. Maybe the price point is what's so appealing?

[gunm]

Ghost Squad is a fun game and well worth $16 IMO. I picked it up when it was $19.99 a few months back.

[spoo]

Is it the same one Amazon was selling? The packaging looks different.

No it is made in China knock off, made from the same factory that made my Rolax watch and my PMUA shoes.

[Raul0923]

Sweet! Ordered one for $15.99. Figured I wouldn't find a cheaper shooting game for the Wii right now, might as well.

[JokerCard]

Im glad free shipping works on me just ordering this one game!

[sixspeednissan]

I jumped on Ghost Squad, but my estimated ship date is the 16th. damn

[fatez]

it's likely ghost squad will have another price drop in the future... maybe $19.99 again and a price adjustment would be really sweet. making it a 6 dollar game! high hopes! :D

[LinkinPrime]

No it is made in China knock off, made from the same factory that made my Rolax watch and my PMUA shoes.

So what's the deal with Nyko...did they discontinue them or are they still making and selling them, just having a hard time keeping stock?

[JokerCard]

So you can price adjust items even when they are on the lightning deal thing?

If so, Im gonna price adjust on the Pentax camera I bought not too long ago. I got it for $149.99 after the lightning deal promo. The original price was $192 and now its down to $185.....

[Ma12kez]

Thanks guys. Picked up Ghost Squad and a $10 Kingston 2GB USB Stick for free shipping.

[eliter1]

I jumped on Ghost Squad, but my estimated ship date is the 16th. damn

Wow. My estimated delivery date is the 15th but i have Prime.

yes you can... as long as your lighting deal charge shows up as promotional credit taken off from the total. then you can get a price adjustment on it.

[joshnorm]

Its funny I traded this in during one of GS promotions and since I played it in the arcade I have been wanting to get this back. Good deal and I was able to get one.

[JokerCard]

yes you can... as long as your lighting deal charge shows up as promotional credit taken off from the total. then you can get a price adjustment on it.

thanks for that!
Im gonna wait off til tomorrow to do the adjustment just in case it goes down again. It went from $187 yesterday to $185 today..... :)

[dyeknom]

That guitar hero 3 deal was nice. I'm going to send mine back to activision for the 134$ refund.

[emperordahc]

Thanks guys. Picked up Ghost Squad and a $10 Kingston 2GB USB Stick for free shipping.
Didn't need to grab the memory stick. Since the deal is "promotional coded", it's still $29.99 as far as shipping is concerned, so it ships for free. :) I just did it twice w/ two accounts and both shipped for just the $15.99 price.

[genfuyung]

So what's the deal with Nyko...did they discontinue them or are they still making and selling them, just having a hard time keeping stock?
They are just extremely sought after. I got one off of nykos website yesterday but it was backordered again within the hour. Gamestops were sent an email this week saying to expect a few in. Just be persistent and youll find one. DONT buy a knockoff. The Nyko perfect shot is a really sturdy accessory. Its no mad catz controller.

[decrot]

are you returning the one you got from amazon today?

[n64ra]

Next Game at 6PT/7CT/9ET
...

That would actually be 7MT/8CT

[JolietJake]

Damn, ghost squad went quick.

[fatez]

thanks for that!
Im gonna wait off til tomorrow to do the adjustment just in case it goes down again. It went from $187 yesterday to $185 today..... :)
you can do multiple adjustments if its within 30 days. i would rather do it before it actually goes up again. plus if it drops more they will still adjust again if you just call or e-mail. :)

[ratzombie]

The Nyko was the first thing I ever ordered off Gamestop.com. :lol: Great service, arrived in like two days.

I can't believe how many light-gun arcade shooter? games I have in 2008!

[LinkinPrime]

Thanks for the info...I'll be on the lookout. I don't have a Wii yet but I'm building up my library for when I decide to get one again.

I love light gun games, I'm glad that developers are taking advantage with the Wii.

Honestly light gun games are the first thing I thought of when the wii was announced. I really hope they keep releasing arcade games like this. I know target terror is coming out soon but its 40 bucks and that is about 30 bucks more than that game is worth. As far as ghost squad and HoTD go I know ive dropped more than 40 bucks in arcades playing them over the years so getting HoTD for 20 yeterday and ghost squad for 16 today is a steal.

[bigdsinferno]

i'm betting The Bigs will be next. awful game, so i'm hoping it won't be.

[Josef]

So, the next game appears to be a baseball game. MLB Power Pros perhaps?

[bill123]

Hey all about the perfect shots. Just a heads up check your local Circuit city. I work the trucks stocking and we got 2 of them in today. I would imagine all the other stores got the same amount as well.

bill123

[oemor]

picked up ghost squad. my first wii shooter game, now if only i could find a perfect shot

[LinkinPrime]

bill123

How much do they go for at CC?

[tito1183]

I know that its not an exact necessity but I believe WE NEED A NYKO PERFECT SHOT THREAD to help us find it in stock. It is incredibly hard to find it in stock and a thread would help CAGs in finding it in their area or online. Just a thought!!!!! I really need this as I now have RE:UC, HOTD 2&3 and now Ghost Squad. Yet I cant find this no where in NYC!!!!

[Kendal]

Can someone post the links to the games? When I go to the link of the gold box it just sits there "retrieving data". Thanks in advance.

[ratzombie]

http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox

Like so?

[bill123]

How much do they go for at CC?

They are 14.99 at circuit city. I can grab one when I work tomorrow for anyone. It would be cost + shipping if someone wants one drop me a PM before tomorrow morning.

bill123

[tat2dbri]

looks liek the next game is gonna be a baseball game

i hope it is the bigs for 9.99 :drool:

[ratzombie]

I'd rather get a cheap MLB Power Pros, terrific game but not worth the average price I see it at.

[souljah420]

my guess is 2k8, but I am already waiting for next years version

[ricoraney]

i ended up cancelling my order. i mite as well just wait for rock band to come out on the wii, at least i get drums and a mic with that, and no worries about mono problems ~_~
Dude! You got Mono?!

[gobz]

C'mon MLB Power Pros... /Crosses Fingers

I need a good baseball game to tide me over till Mario Baseball

[thelonepig]

Next Game at 6PT/7CT/9ET
...

That would actually be 7MT/8CT

I came into this thread for the sole purpose of checking to see if someone else noticed this. It reminds me of the time I got in an argument with someone about the existence of Idaho.

[JokerCard]

you can do multiple adjustments if its within 30 days. i would rather do it before it actually goes up again. plus if it drops more they will still adjust again if you just call or e-mail. :)

Thanks for the tip(s)!

Ill definitely email them now then...

[eliter1]

About the price adjustment, so if Ghost Squad goes down to $19.99 in the next 30 days tat means we get $10 back?

[mitch079]

ATLUS code means ATLUS game.

Wrong. Read the Atlus code thread next time. It's a unique code that Atlus e-mailed yesterday to all of their e-mail subscribers that gave them $5 off at Amazon. Supposedly it was meant for Atlus games but someone discovered that it worked on any game. I used mine on Ghost Squad, a SEGA game.

[Fishercat]

I love how everyone's hoping for MLB Power Pros this time when it was in the last Sports Games deal extravaganza.

It'll probably be The BIGS, although I have no proof for that

[n64ra]

I am surprised that so many Americans either don' t realize there's a mountain time zone or think central is 2 hours behind eastern. And yes, I'm American.

[melodika]

yes, and it will be quite easy. so keep an eye out for it. :)

No, to the actual games. When I go to that link and the same one in the OP, it just sits there forever in the retrieving data mode.

[Layd Dly]

in forz 1000...bleh

[ch3zyp00fs]

Eh.. 2k8. Considering I have MLB 08 the Show, I'll pass. Maybe if it was Power Pros. Oh well.

[joshnorm]

BOO what bad game. Good for new price but BOO

[utopianmachine]

*sigh* I guess it didn't make sense for MLB Power Pros to be offered, but I could hope damnit. Ah well, got Ghost Squad at least.

[gsrjedi]

Looks like it's MLB 2K8 for $26 (http://www.amazon.com/2K-Sports-Major-League-Baseball/dp/B00118T6FU/ref=xs_gb_la_A1H66NLXIM3Q4Z?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER)

Darn, I was hoping for MLB Power Pros for under $20

[eliter1]

Eh.. 2k8. I'll pass.

same here. was hoping for MLB power pros

[utopianmachine]

Please check the Lightning Deals on Monday at 10am PST for an XBox 360 game. We want to keep all of our customers happy. And here is a hint: deadly glaive.

The Gold Box Team

No idea what this means, as I'm not 360 owner or follower, but I'm sure one of you will. Saw this on Amazon.

[bigdsinferno]

that means it'll be dark sector on monday.

[h2dk]

No idea what this means, as I'm not 360 owner or follower, but I'm sure one of you will. Saw this on Amazon.

Deadly glaive...

Dark Sector perhaps:pray:

[rlse9]

Picked up ghost squad for $16, why not. It'll be fun to play through a time or two then good for playing with friends.

Gonna pass on MLB 2K8, I would like a good baseball sim but from IGN's review the game is a year away, hopefully 2K9 will improve on it and be a good game.

[wiiheat]

Missed ghost squad, actual quality time with the spouse. Last time that happens.

[pablo9000]

man, I was at work all day. totally would've grabbed ghost squad at that price

[alison]

I grabbed Ghost Squad and also picked up No More Heroes. After coupons and a GC, I got both for $9.98 - I just couldn't resist!

[cheapwiigamer]

I'm still pissed I missed out on Ghost Squad. Had to go to a women's lacrosse game for a class and didn't get back until 5:45...dammit!

[Alphant]

Ghost Squad will be on sale again soon. The game is too cheap to be $30 forever.

[tsmvengy]

My roommate bought GH3 with Amazon free shipping on this deal, and the shit arrived (DC/MD Suburbs) TODAY. How the hell is that possible?
