It's always when I have no money. Thanks though lol

[skubish]

Yeah Black Ops for $30 please.

[The Dead Texan]

Oh hell yes, I was just about to run out of some disappointment. Thank goodness for Amazon gold box events.

[jj5206]

Yeah Black Ops for $30 please.

that would be awesome, but i find that hard to believe...

[eternalnegative]

Hopefully with it being closer to black friday this sale will not be laughable.

You hit the nail on the head!

[needler420]

Ill be playing black ops all day and won't waste my time checking amazon crappy gold box fails.

[Azuvidexus]

I hope some of the games I got in my wishlist (PS3) show up :/

[kingtopher]

Hopefully the deals will be as amazing as Madden for $5 off like yesterday.

[faceinthecrowd]

well, since they are having it on black ops release date, wouldn't shock me if they drop the price to $49.99-$54.99.... either way that would net all that pre-ordered it a few extra bucks back PLUS the $20 in VG credit that we already got. Would've made a lot more sense on Amazons part to have it on Wednesday... as their pre-order policy only covers up to and including the release date. Hopefully, I'll at least get to reap the benefits of that... and who knows their might be at least 1 game worth spending that extra credit on.

[MrBeatdown]

If I get my $20 Black Ops credit before this ends, I might care.

[tmacairjordan87]

We all know what this is about. Kinect wasn't out a few weeks ago when Amazon had their last fail event, so now they're holding another one for crappy Kinect games.

[kodave]

In for 10 of everything.

[Jodou]

I'm calling $.02 off the PS3 Move bundle, this time for real.

[TheShepherdSauce]

Oh, so another 360 Gold Box Event again?

[karkyco]

Ah, time for amazon to clear out some garbage inventory before Black Friday. Imagine Petz games, anyone?

[mmenard3]

That's a good point on having the $20 black ops credit for this. To act on something now with this credit or wait til BF/cyber monday is the question

[tmacairjordan87]

Oh, so another 360 Gold Box Event again?

Normally that would be a great thing, but since this one's likely to be 30-50% Kinect garbage it's hard to muster a "meh" out of me, let alone any form of actual excitement.

[DieGo2SHAE]

The last one was great for some laughs

A different kind of first person shooter...

"Guys, it's going to be Borderlands!"

[tears2040]

Yeah Black Ops for $30 please.

I would rather have that than pay $59.99 and receive $20 credit! Give me the money now

[doubledown]

Amazon threw in a $50 gaming credit. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

[Wargamer]

The last one was great for some laughs

Haha

[confoosious]

gee OP, aren't you glad you bothered so that all the lunatics can pre-discuss how much fail this event is gonna be?

thanks for the heads up though. maybe there will be something good on tuesday.

[crzyboy88]

Fool me once, shame on Amazon. Fool me 28 times...

[needler420]

expect that won't happen if that were the case everyone is getting the game on the 9th they would just return in and re-order dur dur dur.

[htown01]

I don't expect anything good on these Gold Box events.

Judging on how much pre-orders CoD:BO has generated and how much it will sell, it will be sub $40 around January-February.

Look at Halo Reach: released in September for $59.99, Microcenter sold it for $39.99 in October, Play-Asia for $20+.

I love the lunatic pre-(and post) discuss as much as the deals

Fool me once, shame on Amazon. Fool me 28 times...

Hahaha what can I say, it's amazon we hate it and we love it...

I hope this "all video games" event do not end being like the last one with 95% of games.

My wish list:
Borderlands (vanilla) $15
Transformers War for Cybertron $25
Pro Evolution Soccer 2011 $30

But look at every other CoD game, their prices seem to remain high for an extremely long time.

Not to say there won't be any deals, but I wouldn't expect any permanent price drops that soon.

[mr_bungle]

Both CoD4 and W@W are still MSRP of 29.99, they can easily be found for $20, but still...the MSRP of 30 assures you that unless BO is an absolute bomb (which it doesn't look like so far) it's going to remain high.
