I don't see any reason at the moment why Aion would be excluded.

Ugh, they never have any Wii games on sale. :/

Some good pc deals in there.

As someone who played Mass Effect and liked it would I like Jade Empire as well?

Very different experiences. JE isn't bad, I enjoyed it, and at this price, if you've never played it you can't go wrong.

LOL

Only here at CAG can we admit to getting turned on by video game deals.

More of the same, "Shipping Kills 90% of the Deals" sale.
If I can get Street Fighter IV Mad Catz bundle for cheaper (and 2 day shipping) at Amazon, how is that a deal?
Bite the bullet, charge $49 w/ free shipping, then we can talk.

I think I'm going to send those NCSoft people an e-mail to verify....

EDIT:
NCSoft's Support site is top-notch. Found the answer to my question quite readily. The article here confirms that the Game Time cards will work with Aion. I am currently checking to be sure the cards do not expire.

EDIT 2:
I've found nothing to suggest that the game time cards expire, and increasing the monthly subscription on any of the games seems very unlikely in the short term since Aion is slated at the same price ($15/mo) and isn't released until September.

I am interested in that Arcanum, I loved Diablo series and titan quest and sacrad, is this game similar to them? It got very solid reviews, any B&M sells this game?

Not really. More like the Baldur's Gate series.

Any recomendations for similar games such as Diablo?

Don't want to be that guy, but that is a *horrible* deal on Painkiller Overdose... you can snag that one on Steam for $5 straight up if you want it.

$20 + shipping is robbery.

Also, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory retail uses Starforce DRM, so buyer beware.

Dungeon Siege and Divine Divinity are what I can think of off the top of my head... sadly, there aren't really a lot of worthy games in the Diablo vein of gaming.

In case anyone else is looking to clean up on the PlayNC Game Time cards, here's the deal:
1) Works for Aion, won't expire in the foreseeable future. (Aion is released in mid September, which isn't that far off any more)
2) Cost is $18.90. First one brings you to minimum shipping (2.99).
3) Shipping is weird for multiple cards. You can get 1 at $2.99 shipping, and you can throw in a game for $3.29 total ($0.30 more). You can also get 2 cards for $3.29. For 3 cards or 3 total items it jumps to $5.99, and from there it's $1 more for each one.

So basically, with a large enough quantity or if you were going to get games anyway, it's $20 each. I think I'm going to order 2 at the end of the day, but if anyone wants to jump in on this we might be able to split shipping and use Paypal to pay for the codes (could just e-mail the code to avoid a second shipping). Anyone interested? I'd also be interested in seeing who else is planning to play Aion.

Hmm... I'm not sure these prices really qualify as "madness." More like a slight neurological disorder.

Did you play either Fallout 1 or 2? It's from the same developers, and a bit of a spiritual successor.

I agree that the PlayNC cards are a great deal. Grabbed two. Between those and the one I just used, I'm good on CoH till Christmas.

I just noticed that the PlayNC cards are under "Everyday low prices." Now, I doubt that means that they'll be available for $18.90 indefinitely. It may be more like they just bought a whole bunch of them to resell (or otherwise came into possession of them) this one time, so it's not really part of the 48 hr madness. Food for thought.

Such an appropriately named sale. My keyboard is too hot even rest my hands on.

Wow. Arcanum's got to be at least six years old. I hadn't thought of that game for a long time, didn't think they were still selling copies in stores... if you like RPG's, $10 is a good price for it, but boy is it ever going to feel dated now. Hmm, maybe with the widescreen/high res mod it would look pretty okay. I should try that with my own copy.
