CAGiversary!
So just checked out the gold box since it changed and saw to upcoming gaming deals mixed in with other random things for today.

2pm pst/5est. - Save on Amazon's Best Selling Video Game of 2012 -??

5pm pst/8pm est. - Get ready to play with this must-have collection of 13 sports. - Kinect sports 2/1 ?? or Sports Champions 2 PS3 Move? Not sure how many sports are in SC2 for PS3 though.

Maybe a deal for someone so thought I'd share.

According to Amazon, their best selling game of 2012 is Halo 4. Since it is currently 39.99 I think its safe to at least guess 29.99 price.

There's no indication that the 5pm one is a video game. Could be something else entirely. 2pm will be Halo 4. I'm guessing it will be 34.99, though I might actually consider it at 29.99.
 
Never understand why they like to give deals to "Best Selling". Doesn't "Best Selling" mean that alot of people already bought it. So how can this be a good deal (to me it's like a slap in the face to you for not waiting) The good deal is only for people that didn't buy it right when it came out. Guess this is Marketing 101.
 
Halo 4, $34.99

So $5 off for that one guy who hasn't picked it up yet.

[quote name='mbrown3']Yep, as I said, 34.99. Gotta love Amazon. They used to have decent VG deals. No longer.[/QUOTE]

They used to have amazing VG deals. Remember when literally everything had a $20-25 credit plus something exclusive? After stacking those and selling the DLC that came with the games I would often times get games for little to nothing upon release and have another $20 credit towards the next game.
 
5:00 hint: Get ready to play with this must-have collection of 13 sports.

It will probably be Sports Champions or Wii Sports.

Does anybody know if a Zumba game has 13 kinds of sports games to play?
 
Both Kinect Sports games have six sports, so even if it was the ultimate collection, it wouldn't be the 5pm deal. Like others have said, it may not even be a video game.

Anyway, nothing for me, I got Halo 4 for $35 awhile ago.

Absolutely no indication, other than it's listed in the Department "Video Games."

You guys don't get your inbox spammed by Amazon?

It is Kinect Sports per the e-mail I got:



Dear Amazon.com Customer,

Customers who have shown an interest in video games might like to know about this week's deals.

Plus, Thursday only, we have a Lightning Deal on "Halo 4" at 2 p.m. PST and "Kinect Sports Ultimate" at 5 p.m. PST.
 
Just go to the product page for kinect sports ultimate and the first line of the description says:

Includes 13 sports


But won't bite until $20.
 
Kinect Sports Ultimate Collection
List Price: $39.99
Gold Box Discount: - $12.87
Deal Price: $32.99 (18% off)

MATH FAIL
 
Kinect ultimate for $33. About what I expected. But why was amazon selling it for $45.86 before this deal when the msrp is $40?

Haha. I saw that and started laughing pretty hard. At least the deal wasn't for a vacuum this time.

In case anyone is interested - if you change $39.99 to $45.86 - which Amazon is listing as the regular price on the item page - the math works. How any game - much less a Kinect game - can be $45.86 I have no idea.

The deal still fails more than the math.

They were just matching KMart's in store deals. You can thank SHC for canning SHC Josh's team and putting him on Facebook while killing 90% of the gaming coupon deals.
