10 AM PST hint:

"Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."

Another Ghostbusters quote.

Yesterday, when a different Ghostbusters quote was the hint, the deal turned out to be the PS3 Slimer edition for $45.

Perhaps today will be the Wii or X-Box 360 Slimer editions.

Or it could be the DVD or Blu-Ray of the actual movies.

Guess we'll know at 10 AM PST.

Welp, then it'll probably be the Wii version, or either the DVD or Bluray.

The Wii Slimer version is sitting at $59.99 right now versus $69.99 for the PS3 / X-Box 360 versions. If it was $45 for PS3 yesterday, then maybe it be $35 for the Wii version.

For those who don't know by now:

Included in the Slimer Edition:

An exclusive Slimer bust designed and created by the original movie sculptor, Steve Johnson. Comes complete with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor himself.
Exclusive Ghostbusters Gamer Graffix Skins.
An exclusive (in the US) Ecto1 Key Chain that lights up and makes a siren sound.

I doubt they'll ever be able to get rid of the slimer edition unless they drastically cut the price. not this $45 thing they've been pulling.

It's at 10:00 am PST so what 1:00 pm Eastern?
My guess would be with the 360 and ps3 slimer editions going on sale one after another this one will be the Wii Slimer edition. Worth a buy to me if it's $35 or less.

Here's the clue:
"Why worry? Each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back."

They should video game lightning deal these things and sell them for around 20. Then they'll fly off the shelves :)

Slimer Edition for the Wii? They've done 360 and PS3 the past few days.

They really want to get rid of these things, huh?

They just cant get rid of these things. I have ghostbusters already and its a decent game, better if you followed and enjoyed the movies. Its usually around 45$ but wouldn't be shocked if it dropped to 39$ soon.

Amazon is getting desperate to clear them out it seems. I smell a Black Friday deal, or if we CAGs don't buy em, they will drop fast and then we can jump on them once they hit the $30 or below range.

...this will happen.

Until it's like $20 for regular or $25 for the Slimer, I'm not biting.

probably is the wii version. Amazon needs to unload this crap to make space for the holidays.

I'll grab the Slimer Edition if it's cheap enough. I bought the game on launch day for my 360 and I loved it, and I want to play the Wii version. Extra goodies are cool.

I love the movies, have wanted Ghostbusters for a long time. You can get the PC version at gamestop for $9.99 if you download:

But I'm waiting for the 360 version for $19.99. The possibility of co-op ghost busting is just too good to pass up, even though I know the multiplayer isn't that great.

It was $20 a few weeks ago at GameCrazy (?), price-matchable at Best Buy.

Can you enlighten me as to what a 'lightening' deal is? Lol, what is with spelling and CAG titles lately? ;)

I've got New Super Mario Bros. Wii & this sitting in my cart for $74.27 after this lightning deal, my ECA discount, and free shipping.

Ugh, so tempting.

Okay, after some deep thought I've decided I'm gonna pass.

I'm sure the game will be down to $20 by February/March and I frankly don't know where I'd put that statue.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it on BF for $19.99 on Wii, and $29.99 or less on Xbox360 and PS3.
