I read it as a.m. assuming it was the all day deal.

Staying up to 12 AM PST won't be such a big deal anyway.

I own a vita and I'm in on this. God damn what a deal.

All of these existing Vita owners and new folks coming into the thread make me nervous that this is going to be hard to jump on.

Really starting to worry. I was planning all along to get this bundle on Amazon, and now it's so good that it's attracting everyone and their mother, even when the mother already has a Vita.

Here's to hoping it doesn't sell out!

Yeah, the problem with this not being a Lightning Deal is that you're going to get a bunch of people saying "What the heck, I was almost to the final checkout page and it said they're out of stock! Amazon SUX!" since there's no real way to know the current stock without checking out. If you're able to, they have some; if you're not...they don't.

Polygon updated their report. There will be the AC3 Liberation Bundle for 199.99 and the 4GB Card. However this lightning deal is a lightning deal.

It's not a mistype since the author has confirmed it again in the comments on the article. I guess this will be a really special gold box to happen in the middle of the day.

if the vita is set at this price, no way will amazon not limit the stock, even if it is part of deal of day. you guys better be sitting next to computer screen, and refreshing like crazy, lol

wow, so there is two vita deals?

I'm crunching on the directional pad as we speak.

Did not expect this. I jumped on the BB Madden bundle in the summer with the $50 GC and up until now I assumed I got a good deal because all the BF Vita bundles seemed to be the same stuff. This one is insane.

I like how polygon's site have to include that AC3:L got a 6/10 on their review..
Who cares lol, it's a great deal the vita is only $180, has 2 games, month of + and a 4gb mem card.

so which one goes live first? the $200 bundle w/ card or the $179 bundle? and the fact the $179 bundle is a lightning deal means that most of us are fcuked.

Polygon and the verge sucks ass. I'm glad that all of the "journalist" scumbags like topolsky, arthur gies, crecente, etc ended up at the same shithole. makes them easy to ignore.

Sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder.

So either amazonjosh doesn't know what he is talking about or Polygon doesn't. AmazonJosh said it'd be the gold box deal which would mean it'd be all day. Who knows anymore haha.

[–]AmazonJoshAmazon Marketing Manager[S] 7 points 4 days ago It's the Amazon Gold Box on Friday, all day. I wouldn't plan to wait until 11pm in case we do run out, but it's not going to run out in two hours, if that helps.

I don't see that, are you sure you're not mistaken?

Where are you seeing this info? I see the article says "noon tomorrow", but how do you know it's a lightning deal and their will be 2 separate deals?

If this is a separate "Lightning Deal" to the Gold Box Deal mentioned in CAG's "Sticky," good luck. Tried to get a 32" HDTV for $147 promptly at 6 EDT last night, couldn't even add to cart before I got waitlisted (#475 to be specific).

Of course, that was 6 PM EDT, not 3 AM. But still.

Damn that's a hell of deal. Making me regret that I bought this bundle for full price a few weeks ago. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about getting in on one of these at least...
