Amazon has the PC version of Rocksmith on sale for $38
http://www.amazon.com/Rocksmith-Guit...ords=rocksmith
This is the retail PC version, which means it comes with the cable. Just be aware that there was a problem at launch with the PC version missing cd unlock keys. So you may hafta call Ubi to get the unlock key

That's crazy and awesome at the same time. Wouldn't mind trying either the strats or LPs. And Monoprice is good about replacing faulty items so I'd chance it if I was in the market for one

Hey, if any CAGs want to, you get a group buy going and get'em for a discounted rate

Also a small PSA, if anyone bought into the $50 MF voucher at Living Social back in November it expires on 1/7/13, so start thinking about how you're gonna use it if you haven't.

Psybuster

Was that a unique code for that 20% discount? I need to get some pedal patch cables and for the price the monoprice ones look to be the best deal especially if I could get that code.

Man, forgot about the deadline on those cuz I didn't wait too long to use mine up. First one went towards and SG case for my Wilshire. And used the other on BF for the Greta amp. Didn't do too bad; about 110 real world money got me about 200 in stuff and all before the crazy Holiday PM policy

Would need to double-check but I think you lose the bonus amount and not the original amount you paid. So your 50gc kinda reverts to a pre-paid 25 card

It was an old deal where you pay $25 for a 50giftcard. It popped up in Sept or Oct, I think

The Monoprice coupon is not unique, it's just "Incentive"

YMMV on whether it actually works without signing up for their mailing list thing. Try to sign up here if it's needed.

Hmm... I put my account in and signed up for the news letter but it didn't seem to work. Tried the link you posted didn't seem to do much. Did you get an email right away with the code?

I have tried umpteen times I think it might be my browser.

A local store had 1 and I picked it up for $20. Thanks for the heads up!

Drastion I can't pm from phone for some reason but I couldnt get it to work for you either, that link came from my own email so it may have some kind of tracking to it that makes it invalid for others.

Thanks for trying. I will be borrowing my friend my amp for a while since he has a house and I have a paper made apartment. That and for some reason I like playing unplugged. Convient quiet and helps me concentrate on how I am playing.

Total impulse buy but I have one of those Monoprice strat clones in red coming soon...will give impressions later of playing it out of the box since they claim every one of them is set-up before shipping and since I only live about an hour away from them there shouldn't be any undoing of said set-up by the time it gets here.

In case anyone is still hopefull about scoring one of those insane fender deals at bestbuy. They have fixed their in store clearance system. Nothing great near me but maybe someone else will luck out.

Yup, negatory on Fender finds for me.

Best was a MIM tele for 230. But even that is a bit of a drive. Too lazy and cheap to bother. Besides, I've got my PT to keep me company

I'll look thru again later and see if I missed anything

Curious to know what its like. Look forward to your update on it. They have a nice clean look, though it's weird to see MONOPRICE on the headstock. They shoulda done something like "M&P guitars"

I was always willing to try out some of the Rondo stuff. But the funky headstock and extra shipping cost to get here sorta killed it for me. May try a bass deal down the road. I like some of the new models. Just waiting to see some reviews (if they ever show)

Oh God... Must resist... There are some things missing, but there are still some stupid deals... I just don't have the cashola right now to do it.

That clearance page based on the stores I went to is a hell of a lot more accurate now as opposed to the original "here's a thousand items, pray they're in store" listings they had.

Psybuster's find...

My other find...

There are many others that found some comparable stuff, these are just mine and Psybuster's purchases...

For people who got some pedals recently. Here is a good pedal board with bag and a 9v power supply for all the pedals.

www.zzounds.com/item--GATGPEDALBONE

49.95

If you match it at music123 you can get it for 43.

I picked this up along with a Yamaha FX325 Acoustic Electric guitar. I'm planning on doing Justin Guitar for the basics and Rocksmith for the fun!

Got both on Amazon. Game was $30 and the guitar was $161 after an extra 15% off.

Damn. They must have changed the price back on it. Should've bought it this afternoon when I saw the post...
