Yeah this is a pretty significant discount for games that released so recently. Definite Slap™ material.

Also that gif is great.

Child of Light PS3 is $7.50, but Vita version is $6.  Probably bite on that.

And maybe finally get Persona 4 for $9.  Is this the cheapest it's been in awhile?  I know I was tempted by a sale a couple months ago.

 
Just a reminder: Castlevania SOTN is built into the Rondo of Blood PSP game that was on sale a few months back. If you bought that you might want to pass on the original version.

Thoughts on Chrono Cross at $3? It doesn't look too bad on the Vita screen. Aged, obviously, but small enough to not look completely hideous.

So for those who Preordered Dark Souls 3 from BB since they had the photos of the Day One and CE switched and thought maybe you could get the CE for $60, they since fixed the photo if you want to cancel your order. If you don't get charged sales tax at amazon and have prime, you might want to switch it over to amazon anyway.

I would but I got a PS4 copy, an X1 copy, and a MLB pre-order with the B2G1 that was going on at the time (stacked with GCU) and for some reason working on those (GLITCH).

Nice, apparently I already own it. I knew I had the retail version then sold it and bought it cheap digitally a while ago when it was on sale. I didn't know the digital version had the DLC included though. That's pretty awesome.

Yeah I have the dlc but haven't played it yet. I need to bump it up my list I think.

Today we got an email that we can get up to a $400 bonus if we answer 30 calls per day on 8 of our busiest days for the rest of the month. $50 each day, maxing at $400. It's not a ton, but during this time of year, the average calls per day is about 50 so it's basically just here's $400 to show up and do what you've been doing every day anyway.

Then we get $100 if we work 10 hours of OT a week or $150 if we work 15 hours. I'm going to be rich at the end of the month and don't need powerball.

Buy like 50 $30 games and flip them for $31.50 each and then you'll be super rich!

It's pretty hilarious how Shipwreck is taking it as a personal affront that Amazon is offering 20% off video games.

Was just about to post this. Cheapy trashed on them a bit as well, saying they're still behind GCU.

Of course all while the CAG Game Deals twitter account tweets out 17 different 20% off "deals" on Amazon with that sweet sweet referral link.

Do you guys actually use referral links on this site? I never do and if I see a deal I'll just search for it on Amazon/Best Buy and pick it up.
 
Tyler, isn't that avatar from Midnight Rescue? You're making me feel really old--I played so much Gizmos & Gadgets, OutNumbered, Midnight Rescue, SpellBound, and Treasure Mountain growing up.

It is. For whatever reason the game popped into my head the other day. I couldn't remember what it was called but googling "educational game take pictures of robots" quickly got me the answer. I played the game like crazy in elementary school.

Oh I was reminded of it from a YDKJ question which reminded me of another game called Dinosaur Safari where you took pictures of dinosaurs and got scored on them. That game was also awesome.

final fantasy tactics (ps1 edition - no slowdown but no updated text and stuff) is $3 which is pretty dope if you like stinky old ancient games.

I did finish the PS1 version of FFT. The story was really, really badly translated and hard to follow. That's a big part of why I grabbed the PSP version. Such a shame about that slowdown.

I am behind whatever the best deal is for me. For a short period of time Kmart was kicking ass. Then that stopped. GCU (when I was able to get it for $30 for 2 years) was/is a great deal. But now Amazon is almost as good and for many it might be better. I am already Prime so would be stupid not to at least consider them. Especially if I have credit with Amazon and BB isn't doing game day delivery for me (I have to look it up and see if that is perk of GCU or Elite).

I don't get loyalty to a store.

Other then Walmart I am happy to buy my games where ever the best deal is.

RDR on sale everyone!
Click to expand...
Looks like that Undead Nightmare that is on sale for $4 is the standalone version not requiring RDR to play, but it comes with all the DLC packs (not war horse, assassin outfit, golden guns).

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/red-dead-redemption-undead-nightmare/cid=UP1004-NPUB30639_00-PSNRDRUNDEADV003

That might be of interest to people who own just the vanilla RDR on disc (and possibly the undead nightmare pack) if we were wanting to boost the rest of the multiplayer trophies or for people who already platted the vanilla game and sold it off, but never played the rest of the DLC.

The sale on just the vanilla RDR at $6 isn't a very good deal considering 2 months ago the Max Payne 3 UE + RDR vanilla bundle was $5.10.

Yeah, that's me. It's tempting, that's for sure.

 
So is DJ Max Portable 3 the most expensive PSP game on the store? $40 is super high at this point.

At $10 it might be a good deal to get your rage on. Jkam has like five extra Vitas so he could buy it and not be too worried about throwing the system across the room.

DJ Max is awesome. Hard as hell on the higher difficulty settings like in that video, but just play on an easier setting lol. I normally stick to 4 or 5 button mode. 

 
What Sony support number did people call when they complained about the Borderlands slap a few weeks ago? That GTA bundle slap stings bad enough that I'd like to call, even though I don't expect anything to be done about it.

We didn't call, we used the Playstation Support chat.

Late getting back to the party so spoilered my responses to Zimm's car situation for those who want to read.

GatorBeerGeek said:
I didn't google to see if I could make Stotch proud, but it sounds like it would be a clogged fuel injector. Since I do not live in the cold, I have no idea if the cold could possibly make it worse. I would not think gas would freeze even in the dick shriveling weather you guys get.
Click to expand...
Gasoline will freeze, but at temperatures I'm guessing to be well below -20°F. Gasoline is a mixture of several different components, so what does happen as the temperature drops is that impurities or some of the components will precipitate out of the gasoline and form a slurry in the bottom of the tank. Some may redissolve over time, some may not. If the level in the tank is very low, some of that could be picked up by the fuel delivery system. It could clog the fuel filter and/or possibly components of the fuel injection system.

Those additives are probably designed not only to clean the fuel delivery system, but also to redissolve or break down anything that has precipitated out.

GatorBeerGeek said:
EDIT: madchemist'd and good call on the electrical angle, but if he was already up and running wouldnt that likely point more to an alternator going bad instead of the battery?
Click to expand...
Yes, it could be the alternator also. Not having known the age of the car or battery, and with it being cold I thought battery first. The battery/alternator question is like the chicken or the egg for the shade-tree mechanic. The battery stores the power that the alternator creates. So if the battery is weak it won't store enough of the power the alternator creates, and therefore the longer the car runs the less power the battery will have to delivery to the electrical systems. On the flip side, if the alternator is going bad it won't create enough power for the battery to store, and will eventually lead to a bad battery. Either one not working properly will exhibit similar symptoms. A battery is easier to diagnosis and typically doesn't last as long.

Zimm108 said:
Car is a 2004 Chevy Aveo with about 125K or so on it. It started up just fine (besides the regular cold weather moaning) and like I said earlier, drove just fine until just before the end of my trip, so everything should have warmed up by then.

I can't remember when I last bought a battery, but I wouldn't think it was that since its started up fine? Doesn't the alternator provide the power after the car starts and the battery is only for starting?

Full disclosure: I know next to nothing about cars besides how to kinda sorta change my front brakes and add required liquids in their designated receptacles.
Click to expand...
As the engine warms up, the fuel injection system begins adjusting the fuel to air ratio by allowing for more air. If some component of the system is fouled or not working properly, the ratio becomes to lean (less gas, more air) and could be why your car cuts off once it's warm. Pressing on the gas peddle to keep it going is adding more gas like when you first start the car or when it's running while the engine is cold, and therefore keeps the combustion process going. If you did have a faulty sensor, you would probably get the dreaded check engine light, but not necessarily.

Full disclosure: I did not google, but I did finish The Martian yesterday. There's a lot of good technical stuff in that book.

I didn't care for it. Didn't like the music and the gameplay was aggravating. But I'll admit I didn't give it that much of a chance. It just was an immediate turn-off for me.

 
For me GCU is better because I don't buy many games at release. 95% of my GCU discounts were on stuff that was $20 or less. Amazon's deal doesn't do anything for that. But admittedly I don't have GCU right now and I haven't been compelled to get it again yet. Nothing I really want to buy at retail right now. I might be convinced to pick up Doom if there's going to be a PSNOT Doom-fest. Then I guess I'd get it from amazon! Ha!

I pay tax at amazon, unfortunately.

Had a $10 TRU Rewards coupon. Price Matched TRU.com's price of AC: Unity for $14.99. Got it for $5.34 out the door! What did you guys do to me? I have 3 Assassin's in my backlog all of a sudden! Unity, Syndicate, and Rogue. fuck.

I'll probably end up relenting as the next cheapest way to get the DLC is the Undead nightmare disc for $7ish used from amazon or the GOTY edition used from amazon for $14ish.

If you have a copy available at your local gamestop, the vanilla version of RDR is $5. You could buy it and the $4 undead nightmare collection download and you've most everything for $9 if you've never played any RDR.
