Hopefully this is the first of many gaming gold box events. I probably own every game they could offer that I'd be interested in buying. Wii's sucked this fall. Only the PSP has sucked worse.

I'm hoping for Twilight Princess. i don't understand why that game isn't discounted yet, and why Nintendo NEVER EVER EVER lets it go on sale. i swear - microsoft and nintendo are two greedy companies. sony's hardware might be more expensive right now, but they are more than generous with software and they don't force you to buy tons of "upgrades" for you to enjoy their system (wii speak??, microsoft branded too small/too expensive hard drives?? whatever...)
if not twilight princess, then animal crossing again. my wife wanted it on black friday and i could have bought it, but she didn't actually TELL me she wanted it until it was sold out.
not both though..i'm too broke for both, lol.

A lot of Microsoft's really good first party titles drop in price decently early. Sony on the other hand, Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank are still expensive, and Resistance took two whole years to drop in price. But yeah, hardware wise, Sony is better. If only Sony would release a hard driveless, wi-fi-less sku for cheaper (like the X360 arcade), I would buy it. i wouldn't mind buying my own harddrive, and I don't need wi-fi.

I can't imagine Amazon having anything else I could possibly want given the stacks of boxes that are arriving at my door each day from Black Friday weekend. Anything I buy will have to be in the area of $20 bucks, and I don't remember many cases where they had anything I want for less than $20 bucks. Give it your best shot Amazon!

You realize you can put any hard drive in your 360, right? It's just not "officially" supported, which basically just means that you have to get the instructions on the internet rather than the manual.
It won't even void your warranty...

It would have to be a pretty good deal for me to buy since I just picke up De Blob and Wario Shake it on Fri. I can't think of any games I really must have for the wii at this point. Maybe I'll be surprised by what they offer.

I don't own a 360 and I feel that this is the case. The new Banjo Kazooie for only $40? And I could've gotten the original as a download with it?
All the same, I understand Nintendo's philosophy on maintaining the price of their games. If we knew that within a year Zelda would drop to $20-30, fewer copies would be sold at full price. I know that this sort of knowledge affects my EA purchases. I was definitely interested in Boom Blox, but I knew it would drop within the year. I picked it up for $20 on BF. Similarly, I will wait for Mirror's Edge to drop. Witht he backlog I have, perceived value like this factors heavily.
However, the videogame companies might want to try being more competitive with their pricing strategy to combat the used market. As CAGs with coupons and EDGE we can routinely get brand new titles at close to $20 discounts.
There's a delicate balance that needs to be maintained so that I don't just say, "It'll hit $20 in a few months and I'll grab it" or "It'll never drop, I'll just pick it up like-new used for $30 now."
Edit to add: I'm hoping for some good deals on Bully and Opoona. I think that's setting my sights about right. I really doubt that they'll revisit any BF deals.

In fairness, Resistance only dropped since a sequel was coming.
Though, you could say the same for Gears...

Only things I would be wanting is a deal on Wii Music and Tales of Symphonia, as long as they are better deals than the TRU B1 20 Off sale a few weeks ago. Toys R Us is hating me right now as I keep returning things as Amazon has better deals.
Last time they called the manager over because they thought I was trying to return something from the buy 3 get 1 free sale (customer service can't read their own receipts)

Where the ps3 and 360 who care about the wii has no good games. We need Left 4 Dead for $40 for 360, and Dead Space. Also need Little Big Planet sense it not selling so great, and Socam:Confor...

Tales of Symphonia or Wario Land are the only ones I might bite on for 20...
I think Tales could hit for a few hours, but I don't know Wario will.
Really are they going to give us clues so I can figure out if I should even pay attention any more, the clues were awesome.

Last Wii Gold Box day they had Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy, and Twilight Princess all for $30, with Smash Brothers being $25. Sold out super-fast! Hopefully this will be similar!
DOMINATOR912
12-03-2008, 04:26 PM
Probably the only thing I'd jump on is Metroid Prime 3, and that's if it's at or under $20. Unfortunately, the Wii has let me down big time as a system, as I only own 4 games for it and am only looking forward to one game that has been announced, that being Punch-Out.

Yes
^Yes...provided the item is still in stock.
Back when they had Uncharted for $30 in the lightning deal, I was able to add it to my cart but didn't check out until the evening. By then it went OOS.

The only good wii lightning deal i ever got was no more heroes for $15 and i snagged boom blox on BF. i'm hoping for de blob or dokapon kingdom. i doubt wario will be a great deal at this point.
Ryuukishi
12-03-2008, 06:27 PM

Yeah, those games were from two Wii Gold Box events ago. I think in addition to the three already listed, there was Fire Emblem also for $30 and Ghost Squad for $16. The Wii event after that one was decidedly less attractive. Hopefully tomorrow's event brings back the goodness.
I hope they would put Wii Play up there tomorrow. Kinda need an extra remote.
Penguin1084
12-03-2008, 06:34 PM
thanks for answering my question!
I thought that's how it worked since I had master of illusion in my cart on the day of the DS gold boxes and it stayed at 14.99 the whole day.
Good thing I didn't buy it since I got it for $8 at TRU :)
turls
12-03-2008, 06:42 PM
Metroid 3 needs to be sub $20 after the way it clearanced out for dirt cheap at Target. Just because I missed it I'm not paying $30.
Mabye they will give our wallets a break and do a Wii Shovelware Gold Box event.

i don't have the mag with me right now, but the latest game informer had tons of good looking Wii games. i'm in the same boat as you - i own mario galaxies, super paper mario, no more heroes, and wii sports/play. i want very few games outside of that (okami, boom blox, twilight princess), but this new GI got me excited about a few games on the horizon.

Our friends at Amazon have hooked us up with the clues for the upcoming Wii Gold Box deals:
All times are EST
9am-11am: Remember the good ol' days?
11am1-1pm: Kind of like being a part of the Mickey Mouse club.
1pm-4pm: Who needs medical school?
4pm-5pm: No need to worry about avalanches.
5pm-6pm: Mario prefers it stirred, not shaken.
6pm-9pm: Now your Mii can boogie to the beat.
9pm-1am: You gotta get'cha, get'cha, get'cha, get'cha head in the game
I'll add these to the OP.

the first ones a point card for Virtual Console/or Wii Ware
the mickey mouse one I'm unsure of... maybe hannah montana or high school musical?
aww "fudge" I JUST got my copy of Trauma Center New Blood in the mail today too!
but I only paid $15 for it(With free shipping) so hopefully it isn't THAT MUCH of a change....
Winter Sports.
Mario... strikers? no that's too old.... mario galaxy?(you do shake the wii-mote to make him spin) that would be a good deal1
Boogie... ugh.....
Madden Wii?

12-03-2008, 07:33 PM
Damn. Looks like the only thing that may be worth a purchase are the Wii Points if they are offered at a good discount. Since they regularly sell for $19.99, I hope that they are reduced to $9.99 for the deal. I won't get too excited about $14.99 because if you look hard enough, you can already get that type of deal via eBay/Amazon marketplace/whatever.

Im in for Wario Land if it's cheap enough. It was $29.95 last weekend so I'd bite at $24.95 or less. I'm hoping for $19.95 but doubt it will go that low.

Really? So what you're saying is that you paid $50 for it...and you thought it wasn't even close to being worth over $20?
Wow, glad I waited it out then :0

I used MS Live cash back and paid about $35 and I didn't think it was worth it at all. Wasn't anywhere near as fun as the GB Wario games as it just seemed to be missing something I couldn't put my finger on.

Dammit I just bought Trauma Center: New Blood for $14.99 during the Black Friday sale. I have a feeling it might go for around $10. Still a good deal at $15, I'll just be kicking myself though for not being patient as I havn't even touched it yet.

It won't go lower, just because it was at $15 the other day, doesn't mean it will go lower than that this time.
Like I said earlier, it'll be $15 or $20.

I've never seen a good Wii deal in the Gold Box. But Amazon has been great with the deals recently. I can only hope.
I remember them selling Brawl for like $26 a while back but yeah most of the deals seem to be tailored around the 360 which is fine by me even though I own all 3 systems.

Like others have already pointed out, it is CURRENTLY selling for $14.96--it'd be a pretty crappy goldbox deal indeed to not lower the price at all.

Try advancing your cart a few screens...I seem to recall that the discount doesn't show on the first checkout screen, or something to that effect. If your screen on the main goldbox page states "claimed" you received the deal, and it is in your cart.

My guesses:
8AM: ?? Disney's Think Fast ??

If you claim the item during the actual Lightning Deal, you can leave it in your cart, check out any time later in the day, and still get the Lightning Deal discount. Except if the item goes out of stock in which case you will lose your claim. I think that's how it works. I usually try to check out as quickly as possible just to be safe, especially if the item is popular and it looks like the claims might run out.

Thanks for the reply. Do you mean they sell out of EVERY item they have, or just reach the total amount of items they had planned to sell at the Lightning Price.
For instance, 9.99 Namco went up to 19.99. If I had placed it in my cart at 9.99, even though someone knew could not get the deal at 9.99, would I still be able to if it was in my cart? The item didn't sell out, per se, but the number of deals were met.

The former, I believe. Once all of the available claims have been taken, the item reverts to the regular price, regardless of how many people with claims end up actually checking out and buying the item. If the item then sells out at the regular price and the status becomes "Currently unavailable" or "In stock in 2 weeks" or whatever, any unused claims become void.

I thought the first Trauma Center on the Wii was fun even though it could be frustrating at times. I picked up TC2 for the Wii over the weekend when it $14.99 (along with TC2 for the DS) but have not had a chance to play it yet. I have heard the second one can be pretty difficult to play solo and that you almost have to play it in co-op mode to beat some of the operations.

I'm not sure how good you are at the trauma center series, but second opinion is an instant buy. Also of the missions are fun and the final boss is great. You also, get to meet some older people. For me, the only hard missions I can't beat are the "X-Stigma".

Yeah, my limit was $12 to have a decent savings when it costs me $4 to return my $20 copy from 2 weeks ago. $6 savings is enough.
Fuck you for getting rid of your price guarantee, Amazon.

good call whoever said, trauma center new blood. don't think i'm going to bite though. just got one of those coveted $130 xbox 360s. i should start getting games for that.

Eh it's only $5 less than what I paid and I don't have to find $16 worth of stuff to get free shipping, so no big loss.
Not bad for a decent game, and I thought $15 earlier this week was good.
Quick question though (I'm sure it's been asked before but I'm having trouble finding the answer): once you add a Gold Box item into your cart, how long does the discount last? Is it possible to add multiple Gold Box items into your cart throughout the day and get discounts on all of them?

It lasts the whole day. You can just wait for the other offers and add them.

After you add it to the cart, you claim it for the whole day.
I claimed one, but will wait to see if I can up my cart past 25.00 from the mario-related or snowboard deals.
In for one + Trauma Center 2.
So glad I waited and didn't buy them as soon as they came out.
Bah, total came up to $24.94. Got the free shipping 5-9 days.
If it's $25 you get free shipping standard? Any tips on cheap stuff to add to cart?

In for the third copy of New Blood I've bought this week. :) Seems like a good Christmas gift for friends with Wiis (and spouses for the co-op).
I noticed that the total for free shipping was calculated based on the Lightning Deal price of $9.98 rather than the full price of $14.96, i.e., I had to add at least $15.02 worth of other merchandise to qualify for Super Saver, instead of $10.04. As recently as a couple of days ago, when I purchased the Okami and Katamari Damacy Lightning Deals, it was based on the regular price.
SnotRocket
12-04-2008, 02:16 PM
No free shipping? Also, when added to the cart the price comes up $15, even at the last step in the order process it's still $14.99 :( no FS kills it for me.

12-04-2008, 02:16 PM
wario will go for like 24.99 so they screw u with the free ship...
but amazon doesnt do that...
That's why I am so glad I signed up for prime last week. Only problem is that 1-click becomes addictive.

On BF I ordered shaun white (29.95) then it started selling for 19.95 as a dod. I had to call them twice and emailed them 4 times before they finally caved in. They screwed up and gave me a $20.00 credit. So I got the game for 9.95. =D You can see the help link if you scroll all the way down on the amazon.com page.

I called Amazon about trying to wiggle the five bucks out of them. They said they couldn't, but they would be happy to send me a prepaid postage label to return the first copy I ordered if I wanted to ordered the second copy. o_O I told them it'd be cheaper for them to simply adjust it then to have to refund me 15 bucks AND pay for the shipping, but he said he was completely unable to adjust my order. Ah, well.
As far as the 80% claim thing goes, I count towards the 80% claimed by having it in my cart, right? Or do I need to be ordering before it hits 100%? I want to use this as filler for Warioland if they drop it to the right price.

Ummmm. I know you can save it in your cart and buy it before midnight to get it at that price. The second part to your question, I believe it will still be at that price if you have claimed it.

I'm a big fan of the Trauma Center series (have beaten all 4 games, 2 on DS and 2 on Wii) and hope Atlus continues to give us a few more titles. I don't know how profitable they were, but they are definitely quality titles. New Blood blows Second Opinion out of the water.

I just assumed I lost the deal when I did not buy it at first but it is in my cart still and apparently i can save it thatw ay if i do a couple other lightning deals i will save on shiping two (the shipping cost is really the only reason I did not immediatly buy Trauma Center) :D:D:D

once the deal is over (1pm) you can't buy it anymore so you can't buy 2 gold box deals on one order.

each their own.I think the point is that if people put it in the carts but don't buy it, those copies don't magically appear for $10 again, so technically 100% of the allotted copies were not claimed.
You can still get free shipping, but it takes longer, right?
I only had $24.94 (I know, somebody PLEASE give me a cheap filler), but opted for the free 5-9 day shipping.
