Ya, as far as I know this is by far the best site for game related deals. I'll use Slick Deals once in a while as they cover a far broader range of deals, but game-related just stick to this site and you'll be fine.

Good point...still learning the process. I started a new thread - Thanks

Idk I find red flag deals better, the hot deals forum is fantastic.

The problem with the mega sites like SD and FW is that it is filled with people who are hoarders as an occupation. If you say you saw a good deal on CAG, we'll usually each go grab one or a couple for the brahs. A single locust from SD or FW will take every single *whatever* in a 50 mile radius and then brag about it.

The difference is community. Here we try to help. There they gloat about preventing others from getting a deal.

Every 6 months or so they rediscover penny guides. They descend like locust on BB and GS and whoever and buy every single copy of every single penny guide. A year later they throw them all away cause their dreams of turning that 50 deep pile of .01 Bully guides into $10 a pop just didn't work out.

Of course there are other sites 'like' this one...
However, CAG is like Highlander..."There can be only one!"

I agree with speedracer about CAG having a sense of community.
I'm not into flipping/hoarding as an occupation so CAG is all I need.
I don't bother with other sites and like the community aspect of CAG.

It's not a matter of disagreement ... I just wonder why you think someone in an India-based call-center would know more weekly Xbox Live Marketplace promotions than you. Go ahead, think about it ... don't react, just ... think.

I know how to admit when I am wrong,sorry guys. I figured if it came from their source that it would be accurate, lesson learned.

Sorry if I got snarky as well ... we've just learned to trust our own hunches & experience, and not listen to those with little-to-no practical experience in gaming.

On another note, the OP has had some deep bloody cuts ... and though it's missing lots of usual Metacritic & Quick Look links, at least it's now current (including the S&S+ scratch deals). Enjoy!

Could have sworn JD2 was for September. No idea about Wrestlefest.

Hey, for any that buy Rock Band Blitz, just wanted to remind people there are some free tracks to download. I havent tried these yet, just pulled them down this morning:

"Rock Band Network Megamix 01"

"Still Alive"

"Am I Crazy"

"Dreaming of Love"

"Headphones On"

"Charlene (I'm Right Behind You)"

"Promised Land"

I too don't remember hearing that either of those would be releasing in August.

im not a guitar game fan by any means necessary, okay... college drinking games were awesome with GH2 back in the day, but this is awesome. This is why I love this community.

Free stuff is free stuff and who knows, i might wanna pick up rock band blitz on account of you not using the guitar for it... if it goes on an awesome sale which it probably will within a year.

Seriously guys, I dont say thanks enough anymore...

I still think the last 10 deals of the week have blown though...

Wrestlefest was showing as being released today on the Xbox Live website.

Oh. That list is never right. They have Kung Fu Strike listed as being released in June.

A perfect example of two users acting like genuine and civil human beings toward each other.
This is exactly what I was referring to, Bravo!

You'll hear no argument from me, the community can be awful at times but surprisingly they do help others. I find the worst offenders on that site are the ones that don't post at all.
That being said though, I have yet to experience a neck beard get in the way of my deals...
I still visit rfd more so than here though because the Canada section of this site is often very slow with the deals in comparison.

Holy Crap... My first contribution!

XBLIG: Penny Arcade's Rain-Slick 3 is on sale for 240 MSP... thats a 160 MSP reduction!

Great deal and a great game made by the creators of Breath of Death VII and Cthulhu Saves the World! Its honestly my most anticipated game of the Summer and it does not disappoint if you love old school RPGs.
