Amazon Lightning: 5 Great Deals on 5 DS Games - 5) Assassin's Creed $14.99

[Unassuming Local Guy]

I bet the second one is that DS magic trick game...
"Dazzle your unsuspecting friends with your magical prowess."
http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Master-of-Illusion/dp/B000U5TUVK/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1209127621&sr=8-1

Called it. :-|

[buckythekat]

and so it is Master of Illusion

[Hackeynut]

http://www.zappdeals.com/

[punkmaggit]

2nd deal - Master of Illusions, duh.

Oddly enough it's already 7% claimed.

[kvadair]

And it's.... Master of Illusion. Now to wait 4 hours and be disappointed by space invaders.

[imacgod]

$14.99?! Damn! I'm in.

[Nohbdy]

Geometry Wars would be spiffy.

[j.elles]

Can't beleive I missed Call of Duty 4 DS. I've had my eye on that since I played a friends copy.

[ramatut4001]

It's selling quick!

[DarthPuma]

Meh, I can get Advanced Wars for 18 used at Hastings. Hoping for The World Ends With You even though I know it won't happen.

[Solofire]

3. Ben 10- Protector of Earth
4. Naruto- Ninja Destiny

[imacgod]

Yeah, I don't think the next two games will be anything worthwhile. I'd love 3 to be Space Invaders or Geometry Wars, but I don't think you defend Earth in either.

And Naruto is starting to make sense for 4, unfortunately.

I guess 3 and 4 are for the kids.

[Master Shake]

http://www.zappdeals.com/I'm guessing no one else saw this. Next are:

Transformers - Autobot
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles

[jeremywoods]

3. Ben 10- Protector of Earth
4. Naruto- Ninja Destiny

ben 10

i thought the same when i remember seeing the game at bb

it is about saving the world from aliens

[62t]

And it's.... Master of Illusion. Now to wait 4 hours and be disappointed by space invaders.

Like others have said it wont be space invaders. The old one is sold out and the new one isnt out yet.

[joshnorm]

I'm guessing no one else saw this. Next are:

Transformers - Autobot
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles

I might jump on Assassin's Creed if its at a low price. But other the AW: DOR these haven't been too great at all.

[UltimoRey]

damn if its not zelda i don't care anymore

[rpepper]

Eh, in for one on Master of Illusion.

[buckythekat]

http://www.zappdeals.com/
I'm guessing no one else saw this. Next are:

Transformers - Autobot
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles

do we know for sure that site is reliable? I've never heard of it before, can anyone confirm its reliability?

[UltimoRey]

so far the games have been the same price as they are at my BB since they have 30%off stickers

[Master Shake]

do we know for sure that site is reliable? I've never heard of it before, can anyone confirm its reliability?I know around Christmas they had the gold box deals listed before and they were all correct.

[jererjerer]

oh well...guess AW is the only game for me today...FFXII would've been awesome though

[MrNEWZ]

Caved on both MOI and Advanced Wars.

[buckythekat]

I know around Christmas they had the gold box deals listed before and they were all correct.

well in that case the only good game was indeed Advance Wars, oh well I just need to find some filler from my wishlist or something so I can get free shipping

[Kendro]

Had no idea Master of Illusion was developed by Nintendo. I'm thinking about biting on this one since it is a quirky title and yet for $2 more I really should be buying Advance Wars.

[Lawyers Guns N Money]

damn if its not zelda i don't care anymore
That's how I feel. I was hoping for Zelda. AW: DoR was a good deal, but I already have that game...

[LinkinPrime]

I'm guessing no one else saw this. Next are:

Transformers - Autobot
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles

Oooh...Assassin's Creed would be tempting if it had the right price :-k

[hollowfreak]

Call of Duty 4 ... for the DS ... bah ha hah ah ah a hah aaaaa

[danstabbingworth]

I'm guessing no one else saw this. Next are:

Transformers - Autobot
Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles

craptacular. i guess now i won't have to worry about missing anything during the drive home.

[j.elles]

I played a friends copy. call of duty 4 for the DS is actually a really good game. Very well made and really fun.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Z5f8F9gxM

[sdp]

Wow can't believe Advance Wars hadn't sold out, I totally forgot about this!

I have a question though, can I leave it in my cart and not check out until the lightning deal is over?

[jererjerer]

not sure about that-before with books, I left couple of books in the cart for a few months, and when they increased in price, they would send me an email saying that the price or availability changed

[Despacio]

In for Master of Illusion. I've had my eye on this quirky title, but could never rationalize spending $30 on it. So for $15 it's a no-brainer. I do wish Professor Layton would go on sale.

[EXStrike]

Wow can't believe Advance Wars hadn't sold out, I totally forgot about this!

I have a question though, can I leave it in my cart and not check out until the lightning deal is over?

Advance Wars is the DOTD, so that price should hold for the rest of the day, provided it doesn't sell out.

[Ancost]

The 4th and 5th games are probably going to be Transformers and Assassins Creed, two game I don't really want. At least Advance Wars is good.

[abhinav]

Too bad this DOTD wasn't too good, maybe i'll get Creed if it's at a good price.

[miriamleo]

Any suggestion what to get along with Advance Wars to get free shipping?

[rpepper]

Any suggestion what to get along with Advance Wars to get free shipping?

Depends...if you have a PSP After Burner: Black Falcon is $10.72 now. Other than that...I got nothing.

[Here for LAN party]

Wow can't believe Advance Wars hadn't sold out, I totally forgot about this!

I think you have to check out before the deal is over.

[Tybee]

Any suggestion what to get along with Advance Wars to get free shipping?

It's Business Time...for $9.99

http://www.amazon.com/Flight-Conchords/dp/B0014DBZXS/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1209148996&sr=8-2

You could also get the DS headset (http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Headset/dp/B000MXSP2K/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1209149139&sr=8-1) (since Advance Wars has chat over WiFi) for $5 and find something else really cheap.

[Roufuss]

Ugh, hope Assassin's Creed isn't the last one... it's a shame the DOTD was the only decent thing to come out of this sale.

[Rocko]

Was there a Space Invaders remake for the DS? That could be the next deal (sorry if this was already mentioned).

[the_punisher]

Was there a Space Invaders remake for the DS? That could be the next deal (sorry if this was already mentioned).


Not yet. It'll be Transformers anyway. :(

[shrike4242]

[fart_bubble]

Was there a Space Invaders remake for the DS? That could be the next deal (sorry if this was already mentioned).

Outside of the upcoming Extreme one, there was a a Space Invaders Revolution that came out but Amazon hasn't had copies of it in a long time.

And frankly, I would be surprised if it wasn't Transformers

[xAix]

I wish it was Contra 4 though—kind of unlikely, but I'd (re-)get it in a heartbeat :lol:

[j.elles]

Rondo of Swords would be cool. Seems like a great variation of Fire Emblem.

I'd get that in a second. But it's Atlus so it's doutfull.

[ThatDamnDave]

Awesome. Glad I checked CAG today as it prompted me to pick up Advance Wars, which I've been wanting to for a long time. Thanks much OP and the DOD OP, whoever did that.

[jererjerer]

Rondo of Sword is just too new to make it one of these games-it's only out for about 2 weeks or so

[UltimoRey]

www.filleritem.com (http://www.filleritem.com) FTW.
Good looking out. They should put that in OP for these deals. I already put that link and so did someone else before you. It gets buried in the posts.

[Master Shake]

http://slickdeals.net/slickfillers/

Someone also posted this earlier. Seems to be more helpful to me. Also since some seem to have missed it the next two deals are transformers and assassins creed but not sure of the price yet.

[BIG5]

It's Business Time...for $9.99

Best filler item ever. I didn't even know this was released yet.

[Masterkyo]

$uck. I just wokeup and Master Of Illusion $14.99 is SOLD OUT :(

[Caliburn]

$uck. I just wokeup and Master Of Illusion $14.99 is SOLD OUT :(

Surprisingly, MoI sold more quickly than I would've imagined.

[Master Shake]

Surprisingly, MoI sold more quickly than I would've imagined.It sure did. I probably would have gotten it but I got that and RRR 2 for the ds for only $20 in december so that saved me money.

[TheMaidenOfSorrow]

$uck. I just wokeup and Master Of Illusion $14.99 is SOLD OUT :(
Same here. :(

[zegota]

Just a quick suggestion: Unless you've played it already and enjoyed it, stay far away from Assassin's Creed DS, no matter what the price. I loved the 360 version, but the DS version is possibly the worst DS game I've ever played (granted, I don't play things like Imagine! or whatever). It was glitchy to the point that it was nearly unplayable, and the plot added nothing to the overall story of AC.

Just my two cents. Also, Flight of the Conchords are amazing, that's a great price, and the fact that it is not released by the RIAA makes it even more appealing.

[controlcommerce]

Came out on Tuesday. Perfect filler item. Thanks

Really it was that bad? I reallly liked Assasins Creed so I was going to pick this up but damn...

[Ryukahn]

Good job to whomever called it as being Transformers!

[Ancost]

HAHAHA. Transformers, I called it. Now only Assassins Creed left, this whole deal thing sucks, besides Advance Wars. Boo.

[Cmosfm]

Transformers Autobots: 9.99, not Space Invaders like we all thought. Anyway, if you have prime, I kinda enjoyed this game, so I'd say it's worth that.

[Ryukahn]

Oh yeah I should have added that if you need a filler for Advance Wars, you can just get the Transformers lightning deal for $10.

[Penguin1084]

Hey guys I have a quick question!

When I got home, I just made it for master of illusion and I got it in the cart for $14.99 (it says special gold box price next to it)

Can I keep it in the cart until the last deal and still buy it for that price since it's in my cart?

thanks!

btw, transformers = suck deal.

[jererjerer]

oh well...here's to hoping that they'll do another ds deals, and hope that deal would have some decent games

[blueboy]

Is transformers not worth it?

[Penguin1084]

Is transformers not worth it?

personally, it's just not my cup of tea...

I was really hoping for Contra 4.

Any guesses for the next deal?

[62t]

Actually most of us dont think it would be space invader as the new one isnt out and the old one is OOS

[Cmosfm]

Maybe it was just me then, lol.

[The Perfect Drug]

personally, it's just not my cup of tea...

Any guesses for the next deal?No guessing needed. It's assassin's creed.

[burningrom2]

DS headset as a $4.95 filler? I've got one in my cart.
I'd like to see Assassin's Creed as the final deal.
dsfanboy.com speculates the final deal will be Naruto: Ninja Destiny.

[The Perfect Drug]

dsfanboy.com speculates the final deal will be Naruto: Ninja Destiny.

Well they're wrong.

[Masterkyo]

Transformers: Autobot $9.99. They should pay me to play this game .. horrible game ever made. I do hope "Rondo of Swords" $18, Contra 4 $9.99 - $14.99, Pokemon Mystery Dungeons: EOT or EOD $20 or Mario vs Donkey Kong 2 $10 :)

[Baron O Hell]

Is transformers not worth it?

$10 I might just bite. Though I heard this was crap but that might have been the console game.

[powersurge]

So what the heck? I added it to my cart went to check out and decided at $5 shipping it would be better to order a movie along with it for free shipping so I back out and now it says my deal is claimed yet my cart now shows as empty?

edit: Well they just lost out on a $30 sale. Called amazon and they told me that they pretty much couldn't help me. (At least thats what I hope they said since they could barely speak english) I tried logging out and clearing my cache but of course no joy. I can't believe they couldn't just reset my coupon since they could clearly see I didn't purchase the damn game.

[Nathan_Sama]

$uck. I just wokeup and Master Of Illusion $14.99 is SOLD OUT :(
they have 2 at my local kmart for that price

[sdp]

Well I have AW and Masters of Illusions (with discount since I added it while it was active) in my cart.

I'm unsure if I want MoI though, sounds kind of neat anyone got any opinions on it?

I love the AW series but lately I'm low on money and have been extremely cheap ass and $17 is not an amazing deal just a good one.

So yeah I'm unsure if I want to bite..

[xGunCrazyx]

i grabbed 2 copies of advance wars days of ruin
one for me and another for my brother
i'm not a big fan of the advance wars series,
but it should be fun with multiplayer i'd think :P

[Poor2More]

FFXII:RW would be awesome as the final deal at lets say $20-$25 then i would bite

[mattstockton12]

Contra 4, Ninja Gaiden:DS and Phantom Hourglass are probably the only things I'd bite on. *crosses fingers*

[Trenchalicious]

What a disappoint day

[SackAttack]

Try adding the item to your cart again. I bet you a penny it gets you the Lightning Deal price.

That's what happened to me on Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii deal a while back. I added it to my cart, but the phrasing is craptacular - when they say 'add to cart' the first time, it's actually 'claiming' it. You have to add it a second time to actually get it to stay in your cart at that price while you order.

[Fieri]

Try checking out all the way until the final page. I had a similar problem with Guitar Hero III when it was on the lightning deals. The discount did not show up until the final page just before confirming your order.

[slidecage]

No guessing needed. It's assassin's creed.

dont you mean assassins crap ..the ds verison is just #$#$##$

[xtreme_Zr2]

A quick google returns both Naruto and Eragon as possible titles...They are "fulfilling their destiny".

[Tybee]

What a disappoint day

I dunno. I was really happy to get AW for that price, and even though I didn't personally pick up MoI, that's a pretty neat, quirky first-party title at a great price (as evidenced by how quickly it sold out). Anything beyond that is gravy, so the fact that crap like CoD and Transformers have come up doesn't bug me.

Will be interested to see what the last title is. If it's Revenant Wings, as many are speculating, I think this qualifies as a great day of deals.

[Poor2More]

Pleas do not be Naruto, that be a waste of a deal

[lilboo]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What a shitty way to end the day!

[Ryukahn]

Assassin's Creed for $15

[phantomer]

assassin's creed. weak.

[oscargrouch]

Gotta say this has been the weakest gold box I ever remember seeing

[Greenboom98]

Nothing this time for me. All crap for my taste.

[Ryukahn]

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What a shitty way to end the day!

It's selling like hotcakes though.

[the_punisher]

0/5. Boo amazon, boo.

[THams]

Assassin's Creed....poop

[Ryukahn]

The way some of us CAG spend $$$, we should be thankful these deals weren't all that great (besides AW: DoR).

[the_punisher]

I'm still on the fence about AW, but i'll prob. pass and find it cheaper here :)

[oscargrouch]

The way some of us CAG spend $$$, we should be thankful these deals weren't all that great (besides AW: DoR).

Yeah I agree. Wasn't planning on picking up GTA this early, but since I didn't pick up anything today, with the $10 GC I might get it at CC.

[fairtrade]

I am sort of glad there was nothing else. My wallet hurts, and I'm still thinking about plunking down $25 at Fry's for P3FES this weekend. :-#

[moblin]

Ugh. Aside from Advance Wars this deal was a waste. Please dont buy Assassin's Creed.

[Nibi]

I guess only Advance Wars for me today.

[SevereTireDamage]

How did that ZappDeals know in advance what the deals were going to be?

[j.elles]

I think advance Wars DoR is like the old $20 for Pokemon Diamond/Pearl deal of day. This is probably the cheapest it will be for a while. I know Days of Ruin held for a long time.

I'd hop on now if you're on the fence.

[Edge]

Pretty sad that the only decent game out of this whole promotion was the standard DotD (although it was a good deal, minus needing to pay for shipping if you didn't get anything else with it). Seems like a waste of 4 special discounts. Hopefully they'll have a "5 games in one day" for the Xbox 360 or PS3 next.

[Koggit]

I'd like to see Assassin's Creed as the final deal.
[/I]

WTF. How'd you know?

[dyeknom]

Nice, AC for the DS. Id buy it if i didnt have it.

[mtgrungoblins]

I guess only Advance Wars for me today.

Was going to do that too but I ended up getting Advance Wars and Arcana Hearts to get the free shipping. Thanks for OP.

[j.elles]

It was a week ago but there was a free month of Amazon Prime availible. It should still be. All you have to do is cancel in 30 days to not get charged.

This is the second time i've gotten it so I was surprised it let me join. Anyway I recomend getting the free month for free second day shipping.

I've heard two sides on Assasins Creed. Someone tell me how good it is and some good points about it.

[Okari]

I'm glad I didn't spend all day on the computer waiting for these to pop up. Hopefully next time they'll put up something better than Transformers.

[ProtoEXE88]

I'm actually disappointed, because their Wii one was great when they did it, but shame I missed out on it for the most part... Metroid Prime 3 mainly, but here's hoping they do another one at some point.

[iceblast21]

I'm glad I didn't spend all day on the computer waiting for these to pop up. Hopefully next time they'll put up something better than Transformers.

Yeah, these deals were pretty weak... And I already have AW, so I couldn't even bite on that! :bomb:

Just a waste of my anticipation, if u ask me... :cry:

[joshnorm]

Yea, after reading the IGN and Game Informer (I think) I went ahead and picked it up. The part that sold me was the Prince of Pursia-esq gameplay that IGN and Game Informer compared it to.

[pablo9000]

my roommate and I combined our advance wars orders for free shipping

[j.elles]

I do like the old school Prince of Persia games. At least the 360 remake one. I think i'll bite. Ordered. Thanks.

[Roufuss]

So the Gold Box started with a bang, but ended on a whimper.

Oh well.

[ricoraney]

Advanced Wars was the best deal and the only deal for me. I bought 2. Everything else was crap.

[Cleaner7]

Just bought Advance Wars and an Intec 4-in-1 charger for the DS to qualify for free shipping. I've been meaning to buy a travel charger for my 4 weeks of travel this summer. Killed 2 birds with 1 stone. :) Thanks OP!

Anyone tried the Intec charger before? http://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-DS-Lite-4-IN-1-Charger/dp/B000JRPE1E/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1209180416&sr=8-3
I figured it was worth a shot since it's for both the DS and DS Lite which is a HUGE plus for me since I'm borrowing my friend's DS and plan on buying a DS Lite. Plus I'll be on a plane and the charger is supposed to be compatible with those chargers and everything else.

[cletus]

I ordered Advance Wars: DoR along with a preorder for Etrian Odyssey 2 to get the free shipping. I just found out about this deal a few minutes ago and barely got my order placed in time. I'm guessing it expires at midnight.

[Codemaster]

No, 3AM Eastern. Midnight for Pacific.

[MetalGearDraco]

I picked up Master of Illusion and I would have gotten Advance Wars, but I gave up on the series back on GBA. But like many of you have said, these were not the greatest games up for grabs.

[Monroeski]

In for AW and Flight of the Conchords CD. Estimated ship date of May 1? Seems a long time, not sure if I've ever had anything from Amazon that was in stock take longer than 1 or 2 business days to ship.

Oh well, gives me enough time to cancel if I come to my senses and realize I don't need another game. :D

[j.elles]

Advance Wars is very different in this new version. Very different. CO's are now a unit on the map. The CO powers are basically removed. The online is in this one with voice chat. The game has a much much darker story and look.

I'd advice looking into Days of Ruin more closely if the last one you played was the first GBA one since this one went in a completly different direction.

[JMEPO]

Does Amazon take paypal?

[buckythekat]

Does Amazon take paypal?


no, I wish they would

if you want to pay from your paypal balance you could always use a virtual paypal debit card from paypal

[Cmosfm]

no, I wish they would

if you want to pay from your paypal balance you could always use a virtual paypal debit card from paypal

Or just actually sign up for a Paypal debit card.

[apocrypha]

I was happy to pick up COD4 I needed a shooter for my DS

[JMEPO]

I would have gotten advance wars last nite, I had it in my cart, filled out all of my shipping info, and than i realized they dont accept Paypal... screw credit cards...

[urzishra14]

the ds seriously needs better games.. it got to the "crappy" licensed crap way too early in its life cycle.

[j.elles]

In my opinion theres to many good games for the DS. I keep getting more.
Rondo of Swords can't price drop fast enough. And I can't wait for Summon Night DS so I preordered that.

Then there's The World Ends With you witch i'm also waiting for a price drop on and Profesor Layton.

I also just got Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. To manny games man you're just not paying attention if you're serious.

[Phryo88]

I hate getting a game on launch day. And because I decided to buy a great game the first day, it goes on special one time only ever sales 2 months late then jumps back to reg price.

[imacgod]

Master of Illusion arrived today. Whenever Amazon has these deals, they ship so quickly...
