at least this makes up for the GHWT. In for 1

[gx5ilver]

Bought this when it first released at full price. Wicked fun game.

[jubeininja69]

is there a limit? i'm thinking of getting 5 for gifts.

[Blade70]

Great game! I recommend this!

[carpwrist]

So... if you hated the first one, is this still a deal?

[newlu]

Also in for 1
Thanks OP

No.

time to find a filter

[SDC]

Jesus christ, Amazon.com, you are KILLING me

[MM3_XBOX]

Crazy price, I paid full price for this when it came out, it's still a little hard to find in stores. It's an unforgiving, time-consuming dungeon crawling JRPG, but it's a unique dungeon crawling JRPG that will likely keep you coming back for more.

looks like a reason for me to get trauma center 2 now for $14.96 as my filler @_@

[aeri]

I bought one. First one in the series was my favorite DS game after Final Fantasy IV. Really good deal too.

[TexTuna]

Yeah I did the same...I don't usually play the DS but my wife likes these kind of games so they'll make good stocking stuffers anyways. Two Atlus DS games for $26 shipped seems like a pretty decent deal.

I still have a standing order that hasn't shipped yet. I already called to add the $15 God of War PSP to it yesterday, and am about to call to add this one too.

How does that work? Do you order first then call them?

[Master Shake]

11 more DoTDs or whatever the number was, to go...This wasn't the deal for that 15 days of Christmas thing. That deal was the guitar hero one.

Amazon CSR can make changes to your order over the phone as long as it has not entered into shipping (ie., Shipping Soon status). That includes adding a new item to your order.

In other words, you don't have to create a new order for the item you want and to have them combine it with an existing order. Simply call in and ask them to add a new item to your existing order. However, this won't work for lightning deals and Gold Box items since a coupon or promo would be involved.

Great deal. This game is pretty sweet if your into dungeon crawlers.

thank you so much for the tip

[wampa8jedi]

Ah hell, no way I can resist this, considering I was very tempted at $20... ordered :D

[TripleH13]

D'oh, just bought this for 19.99 last week from amazon. Good game though, and is worth it.

[Capt Dirty Jack]

oh man i absolutely loved the first one. actually, i almost added this to my order on Saturday (when Civ Revolution and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon were both $10) but decided to wait on it... glad i did!

in for one

[MSI Magus]

Anyone have other games that are cheap right now they can reccomend to fill out? I was thinking that I would buy this and Eternal Poison together but EP is no longer $20 ;(

[slidecage]

sucks i paid 30 for this and never played it more then 2 hours

[SirChadlyOC]

I'm not a big fan of dungeon crawlers, so even though it got really good reviews and I like many RPGs, I'm thinking that this would be a waste of my $12.

But actually, I think this is going to be one of those DOTDs where I pass on it, but regret it about a week later.

[derekzoolander]

Ordered this and Frisky Dingo Season 2

Amazing deal, buy buy buy if you don't already have it!

[Jesse_Dylan]

This is a fantastic deal--better than their fancy 15 days of savings or whatever videogame deal.

[charlescheese]

I want this, and I like the price...but I can't seem to find a good filler.

Thats my problem. I am debating ordering it with the Persona 3 artbook but not sure if I want to wait and see if the book drops in price.

Thanks EAU! This worked perfectly. I was crossing my fingers that I still had an order that didn't enter the shipping phase. :D

Son of a bitch. My sealed $20 copy is still sitting on the shelf!

[eugaet]

Ordered. Thanks!

[MSI Magus]

Damn tried to call and get them to combine orders but they said they couldnt because my only order is Persona 4(they said they cant combine a pre order item with a current deal).

[Friend of Sonic]

Actually, I don't know about anyone else, but none of my orders from the Thanksgiving weekend would combine AT ALL. It was ridiculous, I even tried five minutes later on one order and still no dice. I think they locked the Thanksgiving orders out to try to make more on shipping/force people to buy more or something.

[jrutz]

Bought it. Can't beat $12. Thanks!

[arcadecup]

Oh, they attempted to screw people as quickly as they could this weekend. I combined my FES order with my P4 preorder (and asked them ship together) but ten minutes later when I decided to cancel FES, they had already split the shipments and it was processing (to ship 36 hours later).

[punkmaggit]

fuck this is a good deal! In for one because the first one was amazing. Added Metal Slug 7 as my "filler". :D A happy gamer is I!

if you did FREE SUPER SAVINGS then the orders can not be combine

[bordjon]

sweet deal - picked it up with zombie bbq (ships in 1-3 months what!@!!) and used a couple of those $10 GCs from previous video game pre-orders. Hope it comes soon as I'm on the last stage of ninjatown and ready for a new game!

[sisko]

In for one, thanks OP!

[Antic]

Great deal. I thought it was a joke when it was posted in the Amazon deal at midnight because it hadn't changed price for me at that point until I refreshed this morning. I grabbed one for myself. :)

Yeah... it was weird this morning. I got Etrian Odyssey added on and decided to delete the PSP pouch for 2.95 since Etrian help me exceed 25 bucks. Then I read reviews and wanted to delete the PSP hard case from my order. Oddly, it was processing the order that's scheduled to ship on the 9th. (?!)

So, they screwed you by trying to process your order as quickly as possible?

I've combined a few orders because I hate how wasteful it is when I have 3-4 packages come in on one day. On one occasion, I combined an order to cut down on the waste and got an email later that day that they shipped it partial. (I combined three items and they shipped two together.) It was pretty funny and a little frustrating, I mean, I thought I was doing them a favor by limiting shipping costs for them! I would never classify that as them attempting to screw me over, though.

It sounds like you're angry because they decided to ship you the FES that you purchased and only later decided to cancel. It's a weird thing to fault their quick turnaround time. You can always just do a 'return to sender', I guess.

[Kerig]

if you did FREE SUPER SAVINGS then the orders can not be combine

Sure you can. It all just depends on the status of the order you're wanting to add something to. If it's "shipping soon" or later (shipped), you're done. If it's not shipped yet or processing, you can call them up, give them your order number and the ASIN number for the item you'd like to add to your order and they do it on the spot for you.

It took me less than 5 minutes to add Travel Games for Dummies to an open order the other night.

I think the key is adding as opposed to combining.

[Pck21]

Ugh I didn't play the first one but at this price and with all these positive reviews/comments, what the hell am I supposed to do??? Stop it Amazon, just stop it.

[Apathy]

I just started playing my copy Sunday morning... it's been fun so far.

[xycury]

Son of a bitch. My sealed $20 copy is still sitting on the shelf!

same here, I bought it at 20 too. This is a great steal/deal at 12.


I think with Amazon, it's more like a gamble now... how long can you wait to get a game as cheap as possible.

It's pushing me to wait on games because I know if I wait long enough.. wow look, EO2 is only 12 now...

[phear3d]

i ordered one. i have to put a lock on CAG so i dont have to spend any more money... wait theres 14 more days of deals? i guess ill see you guys in 14 days *maybe*

Hehe ya trying to predict pricing now days will drive you bat shit insane. During the NES/SNES days I was too young and stupid to realize my games had or would one day have value. Then during the PSX era it started to dawn on me and I started to get pretty good at it and it was pretty easy to spot what games would either gain or atleast maintain a value. The PS2 generation got a little harder but it was still easy to tell with a better then 50% accuracy if a game would at least maintain or gain in value. This generation is all over the god damn place and my guess is its going to stay this way for good. A collectors edition or bundle package doesnt mean jack anymore and even small companies like Atlus have/can build a following big enough that it tosses the senses of collectors into a tizzy.

Before anyone comes in whining about how games arnt investments realize many of us know this and we arnt trying to make money off buying games. Most of us are just trying to buy in at the lowest possible price or a price we feel is most reasonable. For example EO2 is a game I have already played and thought it was just ok. Between the fact that I have played it and that I thought it was just ok this means it could be years before I ever touch the copy I just ordered. So that created the debate in my head, do I buy it now because $12 might be the lowest I ever find it at, or do I wait and hope it drops to like $5 as so many games do?

[gunm]

I don't think I can find a filler for this. :/

Also, I'm wondering if Amazon will drop it to $9.99 before xmas. :p

[LiK]

dammit, just bought this last week from amazon when it was 19.95...

[soccerstud652]

OOS...I really hope this comes back later tonight.

[InFlames215]

I had the freaking game in my cart... and then they decided to switch the price on me.

I bet there are some people seriously doing stuff like this. Its insane watching some of you spend money.....in the black friday topic there are shit tons of people dropping $1,000 or more already. Its all incredibly stupid. I mean unless your a spoiled rich kid you have to work for a living....this means you wont have time to play the dozens of games your buying....so why not just wait and buy stuff like Dead Space and Fall Out after you finish the other cheaper games your buying? By then these games will be $20-$30 anyways so you might save money and at worst didnt have to break the bank!

[shrike4242]

Sold out from Amazon, BTW.

[Pck21]

Anyone think it MIGHT show up again later today? Geez the one time I grow a pair and decided to try a game I've never heard of before and it goes OOS on me. Brilliant fucking day.

I trying combining orders in the past. I think if orders are using FREE Super Saver Shipping, the orders can't be combined. That is the message I get when trying to combine open orders.

[arcadecup]

i had a feeling that one wouldnt last long.. in for x3 @12 per

[RedAnt]

Got one before it sold out. My Prime free trial is about to expire. With 14 more days left of these deals, I may be renewing it for the next year. It really helps for deals like, since I always feel used after adding filler to get free shipping.

[wbc1228]

dang it.
it is oos already as i was looking for a filler.
i was thinking about getting Trauma Center: New Blood, but the difficulty will probably drive me insane
oh well... maybe next time.

[gunm]

Whew, that solves my problem of filler at least. :p

Here's looking forward to the eventual $9.99 drop.

Everyone spends money differently. For some of us, getting the deal is just as fun as playing the game.

I think finding deals is a blast. However it is completely illogical to buy something just because its a deal. I doubt if you hated Chicken you would buy it if you found a great sale on it, so why should you buy a game just because its a deal if you arnt going to play it before it drops to a price lower then what you payed? Its just retarded.

[NeoGutsman]

I paid full price for the game and I don't regret it. I would have only bought another at this price to give as a gift (I didn't because none of my friends like such difficult games - I thought it was great once I got the hang of it). I decided to leave this DotD alone so that others could pick it up at a great price and enjoy it like I have. Please don't leave it in the shrinkwrap :D:D:D

When I was young, my mom always said "I'd buy an elephant saddle if it was cheap enough." I didn't get it then but once I got older I understood. I think I inherited her "deal" addiction as I have too much stuff - video game and otherwise - that I don't use and just bought because it was a "good deal." That being said though - I'll play this game as I'm always playing games on my ds. I probably have over 100 ds games and have played probably 95 percent of them and beaten probably 50 percent.

This game really wasnt what I was referring to. This game is amazingly cheap so even if its just being bought to add to a collection I can understand because it probably wont get much cheaper. I was reffering to the people buying several $40 games just because they are normally $60. If you have a job by the time you finish just a game or two then the price on the others probably would have dropped. So its compltly stupid to buy 3 $60 games for $40ish since by the time you beat the others it probably would have been $30 anyways.....

[62t]

instead of buying every game on sale, most people would have a better time buying what they want on release.

Yea I know what you're saying here. I think I have a different "condition" when compared to other CAGs in that I don't just buy every cheap game that pops up, but I'm always looking for the diamond in the rough cheap games that I will actually enjoy. I have a ton of games that most people would be turned off by (Timeshift comes to mind) but I've actually enjoyed them since I bought them at a fraction of the MSRP. That's cheap ass gaming to me.

That's also why I'm ticked off that I missed this deal because it fits my description of cheap ass gaming perfectly. I was just too slow to get to it.

[gmsisko1]

It looks like the price is now $24
I see that fairly ofter. CAG has a great price listed, I click the link and the price is much higher. (Even though it is still in the sale time frame)

I'm not complaining, I picked up a lot of great games at killer prices.
Thanks alot CAG You Rock!!

Exactly. My collection is way bigger then most people I know and its that exact reason. By waiting to pick up games on the cheap I can buy way more for the same price. And as you said you can find some real diamonds in the rough or games that atleast hit your play style and you enjoy. For instance I had a blast with Jade Cocoon 2 last gen. It was a game I would be pissed at if I payed full price but for the like $7 I picked it up for it was an amazing buy. EO will probally be one of those games for people this gen. A lot are going to hate it and think even the $12 was a waste. But there are probably alot buying it just because it is $12 and will find they enjoy it more then the $45 brand new game they bought just because it was on "sale".

[bigwoof]

[Taboner]

Great game. A month or so ago, it was selling for $40+. Too bad I missed it...Actually, thank god since I spent too much:D

[Nikadimas]

Unless they are all gifts to someone else?

Yeah, after all Black Friday sales are to kick off Xmas shopping, not buying stuff for yourself. Of course some of us just do both. As far as only game software goes I've bought 36 games this month - 25 for other people, 4 for my wife (so they're indirectly mine), and 7 for me. Of the 7 I got only 1 was over $10 and that's only because I know I'll start playing it the day it arrives.

Some people just have different buying habits than others and plus, some of the newer games that come out won't last you longer than a couple weeks. If you buy Fallout 3, Fable 2, and Gears of War 2 on sale for ~$40 each for example, Fable 2 will last you about 2 weeks, the campaign of Gears takes about 12 hours, and then you can spend the remainder of time on Fallout 3 and Gears 2's multiplayer. You're not going to see a universal price drop on any of those games any time soon so these deals are your best bet if you wanted to play them all

[KamiNoYadoru]

Seriously, an ATLUS game sold out? Amazon seriously needs to hold more games for their discounted price.

For the longest time I wasn't able to combine any orders that used super saver shipping, or had a promo coupon in it.

No their essentially the same game and the stories arnt really important.
