That is a great deal. Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games over the past five years.

It would easily be the best $10 you spent.....

Shipping kills it somewhat for me. Yes im insane but i dont feel like paying Half of what it is just to ship the thing. I wish it was still available tommorow when ill be buying a bunch of other stuff to make it free.

I really need this game too! :( Damn them for making it today.

If you don't have prime you could always open a new account and sign up for the trial again.

Ive already made like 8 prime accounts with my address. Im sure they would be on to me pretty quick or outright deny me.

Ive been denied before already. Got past a couple times then just finally hit the wall it seems.

I'm honestly hoping it drops another $10 tomorrow so I can buy it along with Fallout 3 :)

Pick it up with Persona 4 (now only $35). ^_^

Eh. Can someone recommend that I combine this with Maverick Hunter X for 16.99 for free shipping? I guess I may just end up using my Prime trial.

In for one. I bought it along MGS4 for 39.99... and now the waiting game for the full list on amazon.com for black friday. Resistance: Fall of Man and Heavenly Sword here I come.

I thought SotC sucked, and I was really expecting it to be good. Although I think a good part of the problem was that I was using really old, barely working PS2 hardware that most likely gave it all kinds of technical problems.

I just picked up a PS2, so this deal is perfect. Good thing I just invoked my free trial of Amazon Prime.

How do you know that this is DotD? And is there any way to tell what time it officially ends? I'd like to hold out until Amazon brings out the other BF deals so I can get free shipping.

Yeah, I love this deal... but I bought the game a couple of years ago... :drool:

Sometimes Amazon makes me think I'm in a time warp... and that Shadow is still trendy! :roll: What's next Super Mario LAnd? :-#

The deals run for 24 hours, and Amazon updates these at 3 AM (Eastern). So ironically, as Black Friday officially begins for Amazon, this deal will change.

If you want a copy, you have from now until 2:59 AM!!!!

Also, when you go to the video game section of Amazon, there should be a link on the upper left that says "Deal of the Day". That's how you know it's "Deal of the Day!"8-)

I only see a PS3 and PS2 bundle on the Deal of the Day at Amazon. Go look for yourself.

They're running several deals. But the official GAME DotD is Shadow. You need to keep clicking. Or try the link the OP put up!

I borrowed this game from a friend but sadly didn't get to play that much and have been waiting ever since for a good price to get it. $10 I think is just that price, even though if I didn't have a bunch of other games to play I'd happily pay more.

Damn, $10 for a really amazing game is a great deal! Too bad I already have it, but I'm tryin' to think if I could give it to one of my friends as a gift...?

Haha, well, I still have the rest of the day to think about it!

11-27-2008, 02:38 PM
Doh! I had a set plan this BF, but this deal totally blindsided me and I just had to pick it up.

Oh well, I guess $10 for an impulse buy isn't a big deal... I just hope it doesn't turn into a slippery slope where I'm all a sudden buying HDTVs out of the blue.

Personally I *HATE* this game. Actively hate it, even more than the previous game. At first it seems sort of impressive and nifty, but beyond the HUGE gameplay issues, I found it really dark and disturbing and just very unpleasant to play.

(Though it is obviously art...yet another game to throw at the idiots who think games aren't art.)

I finally figured out where the main DotD link was, at first I kept hitting the Gold Box link. It's good to know that these are updated at 3am ET, unfortunately it looks like my plan won't work out. Thanks for the info though.

I think you expected too much out of it. It's a simple game with a simple premise - hunt down and kill giants. But IMO, it's better to do one simple thing well than to try and jam in a million mini-games and do them all poorly!

This is the kind of game that exemplifies artistic gaming - it takes you into another world!

I'd recommend it to everyone - some frustrating bosses, true, but overall an amazing game! :applause:

Anyone who hinges their purchases on a perceived "trendiness" and assigns expiration dates to games that they didn't buy on Day 1 has issues.

I personally prefer the uber cheap older DOTD games for 10 bucks over the new-release $35 DOTD games.

That's really not it-not at all. Like I said, it's way too frustrating for me x10, and on top of that it's really disturbing. You would have to pay me to get me to play it again.

No kidding. I also hate it when people play games for "points" or who care that much about the game's packaging...
